Readers might be interested in checking out a PDF article on the excellent National Institute for Discovery Science (NIDS) website by Jacques Vallee and Eric Davis, titled “Incommensurability, Orthodoxy and the Physics of High Strangeness: A 6-layer Model for Anomalous Phenomena” (Adobe Acrobat Reader required, free download here):
The main argument presented in this paper is that continuing study of unidentified aerial phenomena (“UAP”), including “apparitions” of a religious or spiritual nature, may offer an existence theorem for new models of physical reality.
The paper argues that anthropomorphism affects our ability to research anomalous phenomena, and proposes a model for future research. Interesting stuff.
