Rich Reynolds has raised an interesting idea at his blog UFO Iconoclasts which deserves wider consideration, not just because it may be related to the UFO phenomenon, but because it may relate to our very existence.
An excerpt:
You can read the full article (with a link to a thought-provoking second article) at UFOs: The Computer Model.Let us assume that what are seen in the skies, sometimes – not the mistaken Earthly aircraft or misperceived meteorological manifestations – may be images produced by computers, or computers themselves... What we're porposing here is that some UFO sightings may be virtual realities and some may actually involve computers (machines) of a quasi-tangible nature programmed to intersect and interact with humans.
