I first arrived on ATS back around 2016, ATS was a wonderland of subjects I had never heard of, and a goldmine of interesting things to look into. That is to look into in my own way. The UFO forum was my favourite. There was some very good research done by very intelligent and down to earth people.
Back in the day on ATS, the thread Secret Life Of Fairies was mainly somewhere to put my research notes, and present new concepts to the wider ATS UFO community. Here on Cypher Age, It is a little different. Cypher Age is new and, at this point in time, just beginning. So what I would like to do here is be a little more focused.
Rather than one thread, there are three sister threads I shall keep updated in this way.
Shadow People
Dreams as closed spaces within consciousness
. . . and this thread, where we are now:
The Secret Life Of Fairies -- Revisited from ATS
In 'Shadow People', the focus is on what we often experience for ourselves on the borderline with our waking world. What we encounter with our external senses is the primary focus here.
'Dreams as closed spaces', uses a more internal way to experience the world. There is more to the mechanism of dreams as a means of perception than most people realise.
And here in 'The Secret Life Of Fairies (revisited)' - the wider UFO connection with folklore.
One of the frequent topics in the ATS UFO Forum was the connection between UFOs and folk lore. Not as a subject in itself, more so something people brought up every now and then. The fairy connection with UFOs is something that did not go away, and cannot be ignored.
Author Joshua Cutchin made a good case for the UFO fairy connection in his book:
Thieves In The Night - A brief history of supernatural child abductions. The book cover is rather illustrative.
The photo above is of my own purchased copy of the book. It is well worth the read and one of the few UFO books on my bookshelf.
The front book cover presents a small child in a cot with a classical fawn peering through the bedroom doorway, The back cover is a mirror image except the fawn has been replaced by a grey alien. Whoever the artist was, they wonderfully captured the essence of the subject.
The greys of course deserve a place as a subject of their own. Here on Cypher Age we have recreated the Opening Post (OP) from another ATS thread of mine,
The Secret Life Of Grays - Revisited from ATS. The spelling of the word 'gray' in the title is a historical regret, a misspelling I overlooked, never mind : )
The greys themselves have a history with the insects, who of course have a hundred million years of evolution over humans. The greys are terrifying, yet for me at least, a delightful wonder too. Well, one of them at least, and I still remember our time together fondly. So a fourth thread, but one I shall leave for exploration of the subject of the greys. Feel free to post on the grey thread if you have encountered them, or just wondering and want to ask a question or bring up a point. I know a little about them, and we can discuss them there.
In Joshua Cutchin's book, he makes the UFO/alien link to the creatures of folklore. So we have an explanation of the origin of (some) of the aliens and UFOs.
But what of the origin of the supernatural creatures of folklore?
That may circle back to the UFO/alien. The little blue lights I mentioned earlier in this thread, the precursors of the fairy, may in modern day terms, be
self assembling alien probes.
