No, I'm giving an example of arenas that lie outside normal perception. Seeing how UFOs are so often tied to extreme light phenomenon, however, there might be some concatenation.

Nor are there any examples of extraterrestrial civilizations visiting our planet in any extant scientific journals as far as I can tell.
There is, on the other hand, a vast number of historical accounts straddling a wide-range of phenomenology that share a multitude of characteristics that suggest, to many, one causation for all.
That causation could very well be something in our subconscious and even possibly related to Jung's theory of the "collective unconscious."
If, on the other hand, it is indeed a reality that is beyond our human perception as of yet, then the historical literature & experience in conjunction with the paradox inherent in the ETH suggests something entirely different than "space men."
Something that continues to outbox and outfox the short, short arms of science up to this point.

...Likewise, there is many, many descriptions of entities which have been described as "angels, demons, djinn", etc. These exist as part of our cultural and religious folklore. We do know that some of these can be accounted by fairly common sleep disturbances, like "sleep paralysis"...
...I think this thread mostly references people's "intuition" or "belief". I have no problem with that. I have my own belief in "guardian angels" from anomalous personal and family experiences. But as best as I can tell, my guardian angel is probably an ET entity.

A note about guardian angels/ETs, I also had an experience with an entity in the '70s that I didn't recognize at first as an actual personality or being. It was at first a familiar feeling that I had and it was a comforting presence that was always with me and energizing me and giving me a thirst for exploring and understanding what I perceived to be the true nature of life and of being. I was getting a sort of what now-adays would be called a new-age perspective. Anyway, when I turned my back on the thing it attacked me violently, in the only way they can, psychologically. In a moment it showed me its true nature, and that was not very nice... I can't say there aren't good guides/angels etc. around us because I believe there are, but I can attest to the fact that there are opportunistic entities that want nothing less than to destroy us.

Well, I don't think your experience has anything to do with "guardian angels" (or what I would consider to be a guardian angel.)
My experience with what I term "guardian angel" involves no such "feeling of a comforting presence that is always energizing me". (But that does sound pretty "new agey").
My experience with guardian angels is an apparent unexplained intervention which saves you from almost certain death in a logic defying manner. It has not just happened to me, but also my parents. It is like "the hand of god" reaches into the moment and saves you from certain calamity, just to "keep you in the game" - presumably, because your "mission" on this planet is not yet complete.
This is not some airy, fairy, mystic experience, but something that is very physical and yet seems to defy our normal sense of what is logical or reasonable.

No, yours doesn't sound like wtbengineer's, yours sounds like it could've been coincidence marred with an overactive imagination. You say "logic defying" yet give no details and then manage to sound rather arrogant and dismissive about someone else's experience who just happened to actually give detail.
And, if it's not an overactive imagination, you've still not explained why "E.T." is invested in saving your family's life. That sounds like an "airy-fairy" conclusion to me.
wtbengineer is a guy I have a lot of respect for, so far your just a rather snobby poster with an undetailed suspect story. Please have some respect for the other guests here.

…Vallee brought the memo to Hynek's attention, who was rebuffed, when he asked Cross for an explanation. "Though the memo never received the impact Vallee thought it would have from a public point of view, the memo did have an important effect on both Hynek and Vallee; both realized that they had been pawns in a game which they never were able to control…

After a series of tests to verify the authenticity of this phenomenon, Dr. Allen Hynek (1910-1986), a renowned astronomer and UFO researcher, decided to endorse Dorothy Izatt’s films. We must consider that Dr. Hynek, together with Dr. Jacques Vallée, proposed that UFOs could be beings from another dimension instead of aliens, which would explain how they, “apparently”, defy the laws of physics. As to the strange light forms in Dorothy’s films, Hynek suggested they could be passages to the world where these beings lived and that they would open every now and then as a result of the dimensional portals these beings would use to get to our world.

Taken by me ---Fooftr27 --- back in the summer of 1972, on the Western Shore of the Chesapeake Bay at Calvert Cliffs, Maryland. The creature is located in the lower right hand corner of the photograph, with his face or helmet exposed [two eyes, nose and a smile of a Zen Buddha that has just achieved satori --- and his left leg and foot that is resting on a fossil rock that he is sitting on. I did not see the creature when I took the picture. I've tried various methods to try to have alien contact with the creature. This is one of my alien pictures that J. Allen Hynek trashed, before taking my pictures to his grave; or were just lost in the shuffle. So..feel free to comment --- if you are so inclined.

...My only qualms with all of this multi-dimensional theory, is that the level of complexity and diversity just within this one Universe we are aware of could give rise to plenty of beings/forces that would essentially be deemed as multi or inter dimensional.
Pondering now...
