Is your next-door neighbour truly human? Could your boss be from outer space? NIGEL WATSON chats to beings from other worlds who look just like you and me.

Aliens have never shown themselves to the public and proved for certain that they exist. There has yet to be the proverbial landing of flying saucers on the White House lawn.

Instead of an outright public visitation or invasion of Earth, the aliens prefer to infiltrate humanity through more subtle means. The contactees of the 1950s were the first to tell us that many aliens look just like us and can go about their business undetected (see Janet Bord’s article starting on page 50). Some aliens are humanoid or shape-shifters who can appear human-like when desired. Other aliens can take over human bodies or share our minds to guide our behaviour, and then there are people who realise they have alien origins and abilities.

US author Brad Steiger formulated a simple questionnaire in 1967 to help him interview paranormally talented individuals. After using it for two years people began spontaneously saying that had dreams and memories of having arrived on Earth as part of an expeditionary unit thousands of years ago, others regarded themselves as survivors of an interplanetary war or as beings of light that have now become contained in a physical body.
