Michels presents Jacques Vallée’s masking model and Rogan’s rendering hypothesis as reasons to separate the reality of a witness’s experience from conclusions about the phenomenon’s source or ontology.

Michels repeatedly returns to the idea that witnesses can experience something profound while remaining unable to identify its source, purpose or ontology.

Michels and Vernon say The Outer Limits aired an alien with wraparound eyes twelve days before Barney Hill’s first hypnosis session and raise it as a possible influence on his later imagery.
