TABLE who has spoken of UFOs as Earth Lights, an unrecognized physical, terrestrial phenomenon which impresses the consciousness of the wit- nesses to take the form of a mental image, possibly a mythological figure. John Derr and Michael Persinger have extended Devereux's In the mid-Seventies I proposed to approach the UFO phenomenon as a control system, reserving judgment as to whether the control would turn out to be human, alien, or simply natural. Such control systems are all around us. They can be found in the terrestrial, ecological, and economic balancing mechanisms that rule nature, some of which are well understood by science. This theory admits two interesting variants: (i) An alien intelligence, possibly earth-based,' could be training us toward a new type of behavior. It could represent the Visitor Phenome- non of Whitley Strieber or some form of "super-nature," possibly along the lines of a Gaia hypothesis, (ii) Alternately, in a Jungian interpreta- tion of the same theme, the human collective unconscious could be projecting ahead of itself the imagery which is necessary for our own long-term survival beyond the unprecedented crises of the twentieth New Hypotheses Earth-Light Hypothesis Control System Hypothesis Wormhole Travel Hypothesis British researcher Jenny Randies, in her work with abductees, has stressed that the analysis of the discourse of abductees consistently reveals a breakpoint in time, after which the percipient leaves normal reality behind. On the "other side" of this boundary, ordinary space- time physics no longer seems to apply and the percipient moves as if within a lucid dream (or indeed a lucid nightmare) until returned to the normal world. Randies calls this phenomenon the Oz Factor. Building on this observation, one could theorize that there exists a remarkable state of psychic functioning that alters the percipient's vision of physical
