Mac Tonnies is a writer who has interesting things to say about
UFOs, "aliens," etc.
There are a number of videos with interviews of him on Google Vid.

This following link leads to a compendium of Tonnies' ideas surrounding his cryptoterrestrial hypothesis. Interesting stuff.
http://www.book-of-thoth.com/blogs/oddthings/2006/12/for-anyone-whos-been-trying-to-keep-up.html
Here is a brief synopsis of the main points Tonnies suggests...
Cryptoterrestrials (CT's) may be nomadic.
They may be so devastatingly alien that our minds adopt science fiction imagery as a coping strategy
Faced with the vast amount of time in which our galaxy has evolved into its present state, the odds of visiting aliens possessing a technology a few meager decades ahead of us are very, very low. We'd be more likely to expect aliens hundreds of thousands, millions (or even billions) of years ahead of us.
Immersive fictional scenarios such as abductions may be staged to convince us we are dealing with beings from another star system.
Afterall we have been in space. Is this a deflection from the fact that they may originate from Earth itself?
Our visitors seem both wildly sophisticated and limitlessly stupid. Perhaps they lack sentience and spirit and it is that very aspect of ourselves that they find most intriguing.
The oceans may be the best place for the CT's to hide themselves from us.
"The psychedelic realm has the visual flexibility of a multimedia installation or high-bandwidth website, forcing me to consider that it's actually designed as a communications system: a sort of neurochemically derived "chatroom" populated by all manner of colorful "avatars." ... "If access to the shamanic realm hinges on the brain's production of DMT, as argued by Richard Strassman, then the "aliens" may be attempting to promote organic DMT production through germ-line engineering."
