Recently I found myself considering what many have questioned over the course of the last 20 years or so. Why is it that so much of the MIB & Poltergeist related, haunted phone & TV tampering tactics, tracking, and interruptions have basically become a thing of the past? Could our transition from analog broadcast, to digital transmission, be responsible or have something to do with this?
If you believe what the greatest Ufologist of all time contends, John A. Keel, the answer is quite possibly yes. Keel contended that those responsible for the UFOs were in fact denizens of our own environment, although assuredly these same responsible agencies were in no way human. Their natural existence and abilities seem to lie within an electromagnetic portion of the environment for which we have no natural propensity or occupancy that we as a species are aware of at this time.
So, what is analog as related to human perception and what does this have to do with UFOs?
Analog, or Analogue as spelled back in the old country, is defined as being a physically continuous quantified representation of precise measurement. This representation produces a recorded pattern of detectible electromagnetic signaling that we register cognitively as matching source derived natural neurological signaling decoded by the brain. Tape is an analog recording medium that is used by analog recording devices. When we play back a tape, or any recorded analog source such as video, what we are really doing is playing back not actual music (musicians playing the music originally), but rather a recorded configuration of electromagnetic signals that our brains are able to perceive when played back, as being music. Although it's very similar, this is not how the brain works when decoding the original sourced music initially, nor is it how our brains function when we hear the recordings played back. After all, our brains are not magnetic. Rather, what we are doing in the analog process is recording the patterns of information on an analog magnetic tape head based on sound pressure so that when played back through speakers they mimic and produce the sound pressures needed to replicate the initial source of the recording. Our ears do the same thing except they measure vibrations against microscopic hair like sensors that subsequently transmit neurological signals that are interpreted in the brain as an experience cognitively.
So if these quasi denizens of our own environment do in fact electromagnetically hail from what is to us the naturally non-perceivable, possibly the digital world is in no way a viable natural medium through which to communicate, motivate, or express themselves to us. Maybe they require the uninterrupted signaling that analog represents through which they themselves are able to modulate (control electromagnetic frequency) due to their own limitations. Maybe the square wave digital realm to them is much like a fish would be if out of water.
So the question remains, does Indrid Cold own a cell phone? I don't think so.
