315CHAPTER 50 No, it is not a dream UFO S CERTAINLY CANNOT be summarized just as material manifestations. Quite the contrary! We have been con-ditioned to imagine space ships as metallic carcasses 116covering astro- nomically large distances between different stars. That vision shouldbe abandoned. Why would we cross the Pacific Ocean in a small boatif we can take a plane? We can fly over the water below us without evertouching it. We usually search for UFOs and extraterrestrials amongthe stars at night. Ironically, conditioned as we are by the preeminenceof space in our mental structure, we think of travel in terms of cover-ing a certain distance, but we actually need to replace it by time (theless space there is, the more time there is). In other words, extraterres-trials are extratemporals. They do not travel, they “transfer” them-selves. Therefore, they are infinitely closer to us than we can imagine. The “flight area” of most vessels is non-material. It would show great progress if ufologists were to acknowledge that fact. We are tak-ing a bottom-up approach, whereas we need to start from the top andwork our way down when studying the concepts and laws applied byETs. Basically, they are more ultraterrestrial than extraterrestrial, just aswe are ultramaritime in our jumbo jet flying over the Pacific. The rea-son is very simple: the degree of freedom and therefore of maneuver-ing is much higher in higher time densities. The difference is sosignificant that it is almost like comparing our abilities to those of a caror an airplane. The height adds an extra dimension for the aviator. It istrue that from time to time, airplanes land and steer like ground vehi-cles, which is what ET vessels do when they become visible. An air-plane is designed to fly, not to drive. A space vessel — including its
