The Cyborg Hypothesis
Joan d’Arc

In considering the origin of human civilization on Earth, Robert Temple, author of The Sirius Mystery, concludes that we should be ready to face the reality that extraterrestrial civilizations exist and have been here. He surmises that if intelligent beings have already visited Earth, they may possibly be “monitoring us at this moment with a robot probe somewhere in our solar system, and may have the intention of returning in person some day to see how the civilization they established is really getting on.”

The Cyborg Hypothesis has entered provocatively in the UFO literature on three occasions over the past few years.  This article outlines those three instances, to conclude that we have likely failed to see what UFOs really are: the "robot probes" of a vastly superior race.

The Anatomy of Alien Gray
On the surface, Earth humans and alien grays have a comparable number of appendages.  The alien grays reportedly picking up Earth specimens have two arms and two legs, and they walk upright. Biologically speaking, explains Dr. David Jacobs, for locomotion only four legs beats two legs; but bipedalism frees up the hands. The alien grays have been variously described as having three, four or five fingers. We all know what opposable thumbs are for; but it is not clear that the grays typically have them. It is true, agrees Jacobs, that the grays don't have several eyes; they have two. Neither do they have several heads; they have one. Two eyes are better than one, and locating them at the top of the head so they are directly connected to the brain makes visual reports instantaneous. As a model for survival, Jacobs suggests, the bipedal humanoid appears to be an adaptive and efficient one. Although Darwinists claim to know otherwise, let us establish the simple fact that no one really knows how old this model might be, nor its true genesis.

According to a talk given by Dr. David Jacobs of Temple University entitled "The Anatomy of an Alien," a wide variety of alien types have been witnessed first-hand by sane people all over the world, but, Jacobs adds, the wide variety of descriptions may have more to do with a difference in perception, interpretation or reporting. According to Jacobs, the overt morphology of the most enigmatic of the Visitors, the grays, falls within a range of humanoid features, but under close scrutiny these reports describe a radically different creature "under the skin." (Omega Conference, CT, 10/9/88)

A quick survey of these descriptions will suffice. While the skin color varies with reports from whitish or off-white, beige, tan, various shades of gray, and sometimes a green or blue tinge (probably caused by artificial lighting), one of the most important observations is that variations in skin tone do not exist. Jacobs points out that the skin is remarkably smooth and even-toned, exhibiting no discolorations, bumps, blemishes, bruises, freckles, creases, wrinkles, pores, hair or hair follicles, veins, etc. The skin is often described as being like plastic or rubber. Importantly, there are no veins visible which would indicate blood flow beneath the skin. "There is an odd simplicity as if it is a manufactured or synthetic skin stretched over the frame," he reports.

The shape of the alien gray's head has been described as a "parking meter" or a "light bulb." The large dome or cranium is entirely hairless; there is no hair, fur or fuzz anywhere on the head or, for that matter, on the entire body. There have occasionally been striations noted on the head. Jacobs points out that communication is not dependent on facial cues. Therefore, although the face has a somewhat human morphology, he asserts, the underlying musculature which might portray meaning or emotion is missing. There is little or no movement of the black, "wrap-around" eyes, and there is no separate pupil or iris area in the eye. The eyes have functions beyond sight in that they are apparently used for telepathic communication. The eyes do not move from side to side, and there are usually no eyelids seen. It would seem that there is no need to cleanse or protect the eyes. There are also no eyebrows, although a completely hairless ridge is noted above the eye. There are no ears. If it doesn't need to talk, apparently it doesn't need to hear.

Some abductees report seeing a small mouth, but most report just a slit with no lips just above a very pointed chin. Jacobs points out that there is no evidence of a "hinged jaw" or muscles to open the mouth, nor are there teeth noted in the mouth, indicating that the beings do not consume in the manner typical of Earth humans. Mastication appears to be unnecessary. Some alien abductees describe a very small nose, and others note just two small holes in the area where a nose would be expected. A nose is useful not only for taste and smell, but is also a 'heating chamber' for the lungs in cold climates; nose hairs also trap pollutants. What might these various features taken in combination say about the alien environment? Jacobs deduces that the alien environment is "highly controlled, uncontaminated, unnatural and highly technical."

The alien gray's neck is like a thin tube. A twelve-year old boy reported to Dr. Jacobs that he grabbed one of his abductors by the throat. He stated that the neck felt solid, not soft. Drawings by abductees indicate that the neck does not gradually fit into the base of the skull, nor does it gradually slope out to fit the shoulders, but is rather like a straight tube between the head and the shoulders. The chest is small and narrow, with no noticeable clavicle, sternum, or bifurcated structure in the upper torso. In other words, the chest is not divided into two halves. There are no breasts, breast muscles or nipples noted. The chest is motionless; there is no motion indicative of breathing.

The upper torso of the alien gray is said to be proportionate with the waist or hip area; the torso is proportionately the same all the way down. There are no apparent hip or pelvic bones. The abdomen area is totally flat, indicating that there is no food being processed in the "stomach" area. There is also no indication of ribs; and there appears to be no male genitalia. Differences between the sexes of the alien grays are not overt; abductees simply report that they "know" or have a "feeling" that their abductees are a male or a female. On the alien gray's back side there is no indication of shoulder blades, spinal vertebra, or buttocks.

The arms of the alien gray are frail and spindley, and there is a "bend" where the elbow should be. The fingers are long and thin, generally with rounded pads or bulbs at the end, while some are reported as being tapered at the end. There are usually four fingers and a thumb, but sometimes three fingers and a thumb are noted. The legs are short and bend at the knee and the feet appear humanlike although they are usually covered. In addition, the alien beings apparently do not age over time, and are very curious about the aging process of Earth humans. After a lifetime of abductions beginning at five years old, Jacobs reports that a 35-year old abductee has changed tremendously. She has been abducted by the same entity throughout her lifetime. While she, of course, has aged, the entity looks exactly the same. He has not aged; there are no wrinkles or age spots on his skin. There is no sense of change over time.

Although they appear to be weak and frail, the grays are reported to be surprisingly strong, and are apparently dexterous enough to dress and undress their abductees. Although musculature is not noticeable, the grays appear to be able to "carry" people; albeit some sort of mind control technology may be aiding them. These entities do not appear to walk, but rather, they seem to "glide" or "float".  Theoretically, the assumption of the evolution of the human animal as a novel cosmic occurrence has actually not been breached by the appearance of this overtly similar entity since, with the exception of a few obvious morphological features, these beings are actually "very alien." All signs indicate that they do not age, they do not inhale or exhale, they do not ingest food or water, they do not excrete the waste products of food or water, they do not procreate, and they do not hear or talk. As H.V. Ditfurth writes, "a living being that does not engage in a continual exchange of energy with its environment is simply unthinkable." (The Origins of Life, 24)

Jacobs stresses that we cannot make the presumption that these are biologically living entities in the sense that we understand the concept of 'aliveness.' Neither can we say for sure that they are manufactured beings, although they very well may be. Perhaps, he concludes, they are some combination of the two: biological robots.

The Roswell Alien Autopsy
Interestingly, this conclusion was arrived at separately some years after Jacobs made these comments at a 1988 conference. The worldwide showing of an alien autopsy on Fox TV on August 28, 1995 placed 'aliens' on center stage after decades of media silence on the subject. If you were lucky enough to see the original videotape, without the 'talking heads' who poked their opinions into the Fox Television version, you got to see a lot more of the original footage. The autopsy film was purportedly purchased by British businessman, Ray Santilli, from an 'anonymous' cameraman who claims to have taken the footage for the American government in 1947.

The mysterious circumstances surrounding the film's arrival on the UFO scene merits serious scrutiny in itself. The film footage appears to have been dissected as much as the 'alien' being, since parts of the footage were sold to Volker Spielberg, Ray Santilli's German financial backer. Spielberg has rescinded early offers to show his sections of the footage, which are rumored to be much more disturbing than what we've seen. Somewhere, though, there must exist a complete copy of the most scrutinized film since Zapruder captured the killing of a president in 1963.

Anachronistic concerns regarding objects seen in the film were addressed by researchers early in the investigation. Bell Telephone ascertained that they did make a "curly" telephone cord at the time this film was supposedly shot.  The camera, film type and reel length are consistent with what might have been used by the military in 1947. The Filmo camera that was used would have had similar focus problems, since up-close focusing is difficult without through-the-lens viewing. Kodak representative Lawrence Cate has ascertained from a small piece of a print, leader only, that the codes on it were applied only in the years 1927, 1947 or 1967.

Later nicknamed SUE, for Santilli's Unidentified Entity, the Roswell female alien caused quite a brouhaha with cries of it being a doctored-up human corpse or a human radiogenic mutant with severe hydrocephaly (water on the brain). A search in the files of the Institute for Radiation Research at Hiroshima and Nagasaki will show that nuclear radiation causes random malformations, burns, diseases of the nerves and birth defects in the offspring of those affected. Those birth defects would not consist of the addition of symmetrical appendages; that is, one extra well-formed digit on the hands and feet on this six-fingered alien. Nor would it cause water on the brain.

The Roswell Alien Autopsy film shows a small, hairless, six-fingered entity with an enlarged cranium and somewhat bloated stomach, perhaps due to body decomposition. The entity is lying on its back on a table while doctors, completely covered in white spacesuit-looking garb, perform a "routine" autopsy. With precision cutting instruments, they cut the skin and peel it back in a realistic manner, laying bare a body cavity filled with unfamiliar organs which are removed one by one. Doctors who have viewed this film claim that these organs are not comparable to the size, shape or locale of human body organs, and have no human counterpart. Pathologist Cyril Wecht stated that the body is like none he's ever examined and called for a full-fledged scientific observation of the film with respect to the morphology of the body and the organs. (UFO Magazine, Fall '95)

Plastocene Portals and Looking Glass Eyes
There are several disturbing qualities exhibited by the specimen named SUE. First, as the autopsy continues, the 'peel-off' black eye 'coverings' are removed to show white eyeballs set deep into the sockets with no apparent pupils. At one point we watched in amazement as the alien blinked. We kept going over and over that same section of the video, and even slowed it down, and we were sure the alien blinked! Another disturbing aspect of the Roswell alien is the absence of a belly button, the insertion point for the umbilical cord which connects a mammalian fetus to its mother. Also disconcerting is the lack of nipples on an otherwise muscular chest which indicates presence of mammary glands.  These details would certainly rule out objections that the cadaver is a doctored human corpse, but they also indicate that the entity did not "come into the world" in the manner in which mammals are born.

How can a "humanoid" with physical characteristics as close to our own not share the basic characteristics of mammalian reproduction? There are a limited number of options: (1) it was "hatched" from an egg or larvae and is insect, reptilian or amphibian in origin, or (2) it is bio-engineered and, therefore, it is a cyborg; or (3) the alien grays are some combination of both of the above.

Another bothersome aspect of SUE's autopsy remains hearsay. I have seen the video in its entirety a few times and it is not clear where a crystal-like object is removed from the brain. This would be another indication, taken along with the previous two, that the entity is bio-engineered. Perhaps the sections of the footage owned by Volker Spielberg contain this enigmatic detail. It has been reported in UFO Magazine that several "still frames" of unreleased footage were shown at the International UFO Congress in Nevada. These frames are very detailed and are supposed to be released in the future. Perhaps these are the frames which purportedly show the brain crystal. Interestingly, Stanton Friedman has also noted that he was expecting to see something that he did not see in the film. He also had heard talk of an autopsy of a second alien which others had said was on the tape. He concludes: "one story is that Santilli sold this to a collector to make some quick money." (Top Secret/Majic, 201)

Friedman has concluded that the public was hoodwinked and the Roswell "alien" was, in fact, a hoax. He has had a very difficult time getting Santilli and others to corroborate the factual evidence. In addition, since the film is not continuous, he asserts, we don't know what took place when the camera wasn't running. Also, nothing in the film links the entity to the Roswell crash. Oddly, the surgeons in the film did not weigh or measure the organs as they removed them. Furthermore, no alien abductee has ever seen an alien gray with six fingers; the usual number is four or five. Friedman asserts that the Turner's Syndrome explanation is possible, except that this disease only strikes females, and this entity had no breasts. With regard to the segment of the tape which displays some type of beams with hand prints for six-fingered hands, Friedman comments: "these would not have been cheap to manufacture." (Top Secret/Majic, 202)

In conclusion, all of the above qualities - large 'plastocene portals' (which may blink after death and which appear to be removable), lack of a belly button and nipples, no stomach or intestines, and possibly a brain crystal - combine to suggest that the Roswell alien is a test tube baby, a biological robot engineered with real protein-based tissue, flesh and 'blood' and a 'power pack' possibly set to hundreds of years, barring any unforeseen space/time accidents.

Corso's "Foreign" Technology Desk
The Cyborg hypothesis was again supported by the revelations of a former Pentagon official in 1997. According to retired Col. Philip J. Corso in his book The Day After Roswell, the technological level of Earthlings was immediately catapulted into the future after the crash of an ET disk in the desert of New Mexico in July of 1947.  In  his book, Corso talks about his assignment to the U.S. Army's Foreign Technology desk from 1961 to 1963. He describes in detail the contents of a file cabinet which was placed in his possession.

Corso's file contained a two-piece set of elliptical eyepieces that were "as thin as skin." A file description accompanying the lenses, written by pathologists at Walter Reed, indicated that these flimsy attachments were adhered to the lenses of the ET's eyes and "seemed to reflect existing light." The pathology report stated that when the researchers peered through these plastocene portals in the dark, the outer shapes of objects were illuminated in a greenish orange hue. Also among these alien artifacts was a dull, silvery swatch of metallic fiber which bounded back to its original shape when folded or bent, and could not be cut with scissors. There were also plastic-like wafers shaped like oyster crackers about two inches in size. The thin, matte-gray wafers, in varied round and elliptical shapes, had tiny "road maps of wires barely raised or etched along the surface." Corso determined that this was a stacked wire circuitry of some kind.

Corso's job was to examine the materials contained in this secret file, which consisted of several bizarre technological artifacts of obvious "foreign" origin, along with the autopsy reports of several dead extraterrestrial biological entities (EBEs) examined by Army pathologists at Walter Reed Army Hospital in 1947. Corso's mission was to suggest a way that the Army could diffuse this technology into the military and public domain over the course of time, under the guise of foreign technology, while keeping the general public unaware of its extraterrestrial source. In his book, he outlines his proposal to General Trudeau: "we could farm out to industry the components that comprised the electromagnetic antigravity drive and brain-wave directed navigational controls ... dole them out piecemeal once we broke them down into developmental units, each of which could have its own engineering track." (Day After Roswell, 121)

The Roswell file also included pieces described as "tiny, clear, single-filament, flexible glasslike wires twisted together through a kind of gray harness." When held up to the light, an eerie glow emanated from this harness of narrow filaments, diffusing the light into different colors. Corso reports that, within five months of receiving this artifact from the Roswell crash, Bell Labs announced its discovery of the transistor. This fantastic story is also buttressed by the claims of Newark-based American Computer Company. The official history of the transistor holds that the first one was created by Bardeen, Shockley and Brattain at Bell Laboratories in Murray Hill, NJ, out of germanium, crystal, a few slivers of gold and a paper clip. American Computer has a web page devoted to the Roswell incident. According to the company's president, Jack Shulman, they have mysteriously acquired a certain "shopkeepers notebook" which previously belonged to Bell Labs, dating from 1947, which suggests that "the transistor was back-engineered from an existing device." The "history" of the invention was apparently also back-engineered in a feat of Orwellian Newspeak.  (http://compamerica.com/roswell.htm)

Shulman claims he has thousands of pages of supporting material which dates from this era. American Computer recently announced that it has developed a revolutionary device from information obtained from the same lab notebook which has the "potential to push computer technology ahead by a century." The device, which is called a "transcapacitor," is capable of storing up to 90 gigabytes of information while consuming very little energy. American Computer is predicting that it will manufacture a 90-gigabyte hard drive from this transcapacitor by late 1999 or 2000.  Shulman claims that he will selectively leak technology secrets "at the rate of one bombshell per month" in order to provoke government UFO disclosure. (UFO Magazine, 4/98)

The Cyborg Hypothesis
With regard to the bodies of the EBEs, the Roswell alien autopsy reports which Corso studied indicated that the organs, bones and skin of the EBEs were different than that of humans. First, the heart and lungs were much bigger, especially given its height of 4 feet and its small body build.  The autopsy personnel at Walter Reed had noted that the brain was larger "but not at all unlike ours." The brain of the EBEs had four distinct sections and was oversized in comparison with its tiny stature; its cranium was more like palatal cartilage than hard bone. In addition, the blood and lymphatic systems seemed to be combined. Curiously, there were no food preparation facilities nor any stored food on board the craft; neither were there any waste facilities. Neither was there was a digestive or excretory system present in this biological entity. The autopsists noted that if any exchange of nutrients and waste took place, it had to have been through the entity's skin. (Day After Roswell, 103)

The skin of the EBEs consisted of a thin layer of permeable fatty tissue through which chemicals were likely exchanged with the combination blood/lymph system. The tiny mouth and lack of obvious digestive system was puzzling to the medical examiners at Walter Reed. They hypothesized that the EBEs recirculated waste chemicals, since there were no waste-processing facilities on board the craft. While reading the skin analysis report, Corso also speculated that the skin was "more like a house plant than the skin of a human being." Another suggestion made by engineers at Wright Field was that there was no need for food preparation on this craft because it was a "scout ship" which did not routinely travel far from the mother ship. Corso suggests another possibility: "they weren't actual life forms, only a kind of robot or android." (Day After Roswell, 105)

Walter Reed pathologists noted that the EBEs were remarkably well adapted for long distance travel, with large capacity heart and lungs, and most likely a slow metabolism. A milky fluid pumped through a rather primitive circulatory system. The pathologists also noted that the EBE's heart functioned as a passive blood-storage facility and a pumping muscle, which worked less hard than a human heart muscle. In short, the EBEs "biological clock," Corso suggests, "allowed it to travel great distances in a shorter biological time." (Day After Roswell, 101)

Corso noted that the EBE's large lungs occupied a large percentage of the small chest cavity, and seemed to function somewhat like a scuba tank, releasing atmosphere slowly into the system. In addition, the bones of the EBE were flexible and resilient as though, Corso speculated, they functioned as "shock absorbers," making their bodies well suited for physical trauma and extreme gravitational forces. The bones and skin of the EBE showed a different atomic alignment, as if built for "greater tensile strength." Corso concluded that the skin may have been stronger in order to "protect the vital organs from cosmic rays or wave action or gravitational forces." Corso wrote in his report to General Trudeau that perhaps the EBEs represent "the end process of genetic engineering designed to adapt them to long space voyages within an electromagnetic wave environment." (Day After Roswell, 98)

Brain Wave Guidance System
In short, Corso concluded that perhaps the EBEs were "humanoid robots rather than life forms, specifically engineered for long distance travel through space or time." In addition, he suspected that their technology made them part of the ship both with respect to piloting and navigation, as well as protection, by putting them essentially "in the eye of the hurricane." (Day After Roswell, 99)

In addition to the "inner skin" of the EBEs, the entities were enclosed in a one-piece protective jumpsuit which was worn like "an outer skin." When closely examined at Walter Reed, the medical examiner noted that this material reminded him of a spider's web: fragile in appearance but extremely strong and flexible. This space suit appeared to be stretched around the EBE "as if it were literally spun over the creature and seized up around it." Medical examiners noted that the suit might have protected the wearer against low energy cosmic rays which regularly bombard the space craft during a space journey. By accelerating the atomic structure and heating the body, such particle bombardment might produce the effects of being cooked in a microwave oven. Without the suit, suggests Corso, the oversized organs of the EBE would be vulnerable to the "cumulative trauma from constant energy particle bombardment."  (Day After Roswell, 104)

But there was more to it than that. The secret to the navigation of the flying saucer, Corso speculated, also lay in the skin-tight material which was seemingly "spun around the creatures," somehow making them "part of the electrical storage and generation of the craft itself." The Air Force had discovered during its testing of the craft at Norton Air Force Base that the entire vehicle functioned somewhat like a giant capacitor. The craft itself, they wrote, stored the energy necessary to propagate the magnetic wave that elevated it, and allowed it to achieve escape velocity from the Earth's gravity. This internal energy also enabled it to achieve speeds of over 7,000 miles per hour. Corso described the vehicle as, essentially, a flying battery.

Corso speculated that the vehicle essentially became an extension of the EBE's bodies by being tied to their neurological systems via their space suits. This was how, he proposed, the EBE's became the primary circuit in control of the magnetic wave; in essence, "one with the vehicle and literally part of the wave." The pilots were not affected by the tremendous g-forces because they were, in effect, travelling "in the eye of a hurricane." (Day After Roswell, 110)

There are some remarkable corroborations between Dr. Jacobs' research into the outer morphology of the alien grays and the deductions made by Philip Corso from his analysis of the artifacts and reports contained in his Roswell File. According to the medical examiners at Walter Reed, this entity did not have to work very hard to sustain itself, and was especially adapted to long distance travel. Corso surmises that the entity is "part of the electrical storage and generation of the craft itself" via its own neurological system, as well as by the addition of several different technologies. A bizarre headband device and the specially 'shrink-wrapped' outer skin completes the package. This astronaut is ready for takeoff.

In turn, via a different analysis, Jacobs has deduced from abductee descriptions of the morphology of the alien grays that the alien environment is "highly controlled, uncontaminated, unnatural and highly technical." Thus, we can safely deduce that the highly technical environment which the grays call 'home' is none other than the aircraft itself. They are engineered as one unit. It is important to note that, according to Corso, the reports from the Roswell crash indicate that these beings did not have a chance of survival outside of their craft. The androids and their ship are a package deal. Since living beings cannot travel through time and space due to energy particle bombardment as well as other effects, this technological design is quite possibly the only way to fly.

But this means that someone engineered them; someone came up with this design. It would appear that this high-tech package is somehow connected with the idea of the universal constructor or messenger probe.

The Virtual Merkaba
A Merkaba is an internal time-space vehicle which can only be achieved by advanced meditative states. The internal merkaba is not functioning on most people, but it is said to be used by ascended masters to travel at the speed of thought. The merkaba is a time-space vehicle created by counter-rotating fields of electromagnetic energy which can only be created with the emotional body intact. Bob Frissell explains: "The mental star tetrahedron, electrical in nature and male, rotates to the left. The emotional star tetrahedron, magnetic in nature and female, rotates to the right. It is the linking together of the mind, heart and physical body in a specific geometrical ratio and at a critical speed that produces the merkaba." (Nothing in This Book Is True, 22)

According to Frissell, the word mer denotes counter-rotating fields of light, ka is spirit and ba is body or reality. The merkaba is made up of counter-rotating fields of light which encompass spirit and body. It is, according to Frissell, "the image through which all things were created, a geometrical set of patterns surrounding our bodies." The geometry of the merkaba surrounding the body and spirit forms all at once a star tetrahedron, a cube, a sphere and an interlocked pyramid. The merkaba can, however, be externalized. All flying saucers, Frissell writes, are based on the principles of the external merkaba. To manufacture an external merkaba, nothing from the emotional body is needed; it is all mind. Creating an external merkaba, however, turns emotions into technology. Therein lies its fatal flaw.  (Nothing in This Book Is True, 152)

Are flying saucers and the androids inside them essentially based on the idea of an external merkaba? As Corso has noted, the ship is essentially an extension of their bodies, tied to their neurological systems via their techno-gear, making them "the primary circuit in control of the magnetic wave." The rotating fields of light surrounding the body - male energy spinning left, female energy spinning right - might very well create the phenomenon described as "the eye of the hurricane." This leads to another interesting connection: that the androids are androgyns, neither male nor female, but something else.

Smart Probes and Indefinite Survival
A Von Neumann Probe is essentially an advanced computer sent to another stellar system, which includes an intelligent universal constructor capable of self-repair, self-programming and self-replication. The universal constructor receives instructions from its system of origin to carry out a search for interstellar construction materials in order to build a colony or base in the stellar system. The probe is capable of building smaller probes to move around within the stellar system. So, then, the job of a universal constructor is to construct. According to the Space Travel Argument, Von Neumann probes are closely analogous to biological species. (The Anthropic Cosmological Principle)

The Space Travel Argument contends that the launching of a universal constructor would increase the probability of the survival of a civilization. If a civilization possessed artificial womb technology, they could program a probe to synthesize members of their species in the other stellar system. These members could then be raised in a colony by robots also manufactured by the probe. The Space Travel Argument seems to put forth the idea that it is wise to populate the stars with "machine descendants" since that civilization would never become extinct.  So, in Martha Stewart's words, 'it's a good thing.'

A messenger probe is essentially a collector of information, and the information it collects are the building blocks of life. If it is discovered that there is biological life in the stellar system to which a probe is sent, the civilization could also consider those life forms as a source for "construction materials." They might use the building materials (DNA) of those life forms to enliven its possibly degenerating DNA, to create a race to populate a local colony, or to send to other star systems for distant population projects. Thus, if there were biological life forms in the system, they would not need "artificial womb technology."

As Corso contends, the EBEs "are fabricated beings, just like robots or androids, created specifically for space travel and the performance of specific tasks on the planets they visited." He speculates that "perhaps their programming could be updated or altered from a remote source." (Day After Roswell, 245) As engineers at Wright Field suggested, perhaps the smaller craft which crashed in New Mexico was a "scout ship" which only travels locally and does not venture far from the larger craft, or from a colony in outer space.

Does it not make sense that an advanced civilization, especially a nonhumanoid race, would utilize humanoid robots to collect information from a humanoid race? If we view the abducting gray entities and their UFOs as one unit, and as the programmed "universal constructors" of a vastly superior race, we have an explanation for the procreative nature of the abduction scenario. The grays may be seen as essentially traveling biochemists, collecting the DNA of all biological life forms they encounter in order to effectuate indefinite survival.

Perhaps in our thinking of "UFOs" as simply flying machines, we have overlooked a more accurate description and, therefore, have missed the true meaning of what they are: the computerized "smart probes" of an extraterrestrial civilization. P
