Along the way, we learn of the research of John Hutchinson, independent Canadian physicist who has been able to replicate poltergeist effects in a laboratory ("skeptics" take note!) by creating EM fields.
Budden's conclusions are controversial, he utterly rejects any external intelligence in his explanations of the various phenomena, so he will no doubt alienate many ufo "true believers" just as he has managed to alienate many parapsychologists, who so desperately want to believe their evidence proofs life after death.

Even if we concluded that UFOs, poltergeist activity and similar phenomenon all occured in electromagnetic hotspots, that does not exclude the presence of external intellegence.
The human brain is the locus of all human experiences. The substantial microstructural and neuroelectrical differences between the two cerebral hemispheres predicts two major classes of mystical experiences which involve the sensed presence and the out-of-body experience.
Their occurrence and their attributions to cosmic origins have been reported for centuries and have been the bases for social belief systems. Direct cerebral electrical stimulation during the 20th century evoked these experiences. In the 21st century the non-invasive, external transcerebral application of complex, physiologically-patterned weak magnetic fields has been shown to produce similar experiences that can be correlatively mapped by quantitative electroencephalographic inferences of interhemispheric coherence.
The experimental production and control of these powerful experiences by more sophisticated technologies might be employed to understand the intricate nature and function of mystical/altered states within large populations of human beings.
Good shout
I havent looked into any of his work and will do so now
Area or origin and vector for coherence between regions of the cerebrum in the rostral-caudal and dorsal-ventral axes for subjects reporting the sensed presence and the out of body experience. The sensed presence is associated with enhanced coherence in the delta range from the right anterior temporal sources moving into the left anterior hemisphere.
The out-of-body experience is associated with coherence within the beta band between left anterior temporal regions and large areas of the right prefrontal volume.
We have also learned that the prototypical “sensed presence” may be an “avatar” for the information
obtained through right hemispheric processing. The specific characteristics of the presence, including the
visual manifestation, depend upon the degree to which areas are integrated into the experience evoked by
the experimental magnetic fields.
The patterns we have found most effective appear to be present within the natural world and may be frequently generated by geomagnetic activity or modern electronic technology.

The Third Man factor or Third Man syndrome refers to the reported situations where an unseen presence such as a spirit provides comfort or support during traumatic experiences.
Sir Ernest Shackleton in his book South, described his belief that an incorporeal being joined him and two others during the final leg of their journey. Shackleton wrote, "during that long and racking march of thirty-six hours over the unnamed mountains and glaciers of South Georgia, it seemed to me often that we were four, not three."[1] His admission resulted in other survivors of extreme hardship coming forward and sharing similar experiences.
In recent years well-known adventurers like climber Reinhold Messner and polar explorers Peter Hillary and Ann Bancroft have reported the experience. One study of cases involving adventurers reported that the largest group involved climbers, with solo sailors and shipwreck survivors being the second most common group, followed by polar explorers.[2] Some journalists have related this to the concept of a guardian angel or imaginary friend. Scientific explanations consider this a coping mechanism or an example of bicameralism.[3] The concept was popularized by a book by John G. Geiger The Third Man Factor, that documents scores of examples.
Modern psychologists have used the 'third man factor' to treat victims of trauma. The 'cultivated inner character' lends imagined support and comfort.[4]

Is it possible to mistake schizophrenia for telepathy?
I heard someone ask.

In terms of Rendlesham, what Bustinza described, a shadow-form standing over/near Warren and then Burroughs (or vice versa) could be a more pronounced, and visualised, example of the Third Man Factor.
Is it that psychics are labelled as mentally ill, our modern day witch hunt?
Sounds like the EMF changes the level of vibration in the brain, maybe similar to taking '___' or abisynth (can't spell it, the stuff you drink to see little green fairy's)
