Otherwordly: Person Dressed as Extraterrestrial Swipes Package from Jacksonville Home - News4Jax

These articles on the human reaction to the anomalous get progressively more serious, but we had to start with this eye-catching title. While this first instance, though serious, borders on the whimsical, just plain dumb and frightening is what Jen Mills reports in 'Idiot' Who Shone Laser Pen at Helicopter 'Mistaking it for a UFO' Jailed. Christopher Alan Plain has 24 "Other" Questions I Would Ask E.T. besides five "obvious" ones, which Plain makes plain at the start. The two dozen are funny but might also provoke some reflection. More serious rumination emerges from David Gilbert's Vice article that A Japanese Cult That Believes Its Leader Is an Alien From Venus Is Speaking at CPAC. And David Halperin is typically thoughtful about Colin Dickey's The Unidentified: Mythical Monsters, Alien Encounters, and Our Obsession with the Unexplained. Halperin's Cryptids, UFOs, Lost Continents - Colin Dickey's "The Unidentified" lauds the book for a "breezy, casual style" that "belies the depth of thought that underlies it." And that concerns the true, inherent "wonder" of the Unknown unto Itself, whatever explanations or rejections, misuses or practical applications humans intend about it. (WM)
