"Other-Dimensional" Entities

Inspired from a recent discussion, in this blog I'll be playing around with the "inter-dimensional theory" of ufos.

Thinking on this theory, my first realization is that I really don't have a solid concept of what another dimension might be. I understand dimensions in the basic sense (length, width, depth), but as to "other dimensions"... that's another story.

So what would it mean if these beings associated with ufos exist in another dimension?

One possibility is that another dimension means simply "outside of our range of perception". Our senses are basically just various receiving apparatus which pick up waves of different types which are being transmitted and reflected from the "external world". Our senses are able to register only an extremely narrow range of these waves.

It would make sense to me that a hypothetical being who only transmits/reflects waves which are beyond the capacity of our sensors to receive is equivalent to a being who exists in "another dimension".

Following the speculative road with this definition of "other dimensions", where does it lead us?

Well firstly, I see no reason to assume that the beings associated with ufos have the same range of perception that we do. Which means that these hypothetical beings could potentially be outside of our range of perception, while still being able to perceive us. And additionally, if such a being is capable of altering the frequency of the waves which it transmits or reflects, then it can conceivably make itself perceivable by humans and invisible to humans at will.

If one accepts such a possibility, that there might exist beings who are just as "real" as we are, but transmit/reflect only waves outside of our range of perception, then this leads to a load of other interesting inferences.

If other beings do exist outside of our range of perception, then there is no reason to assume that the amalgamation that I consider "me" consists of only what is perceivable by my poor-quality receivers. Parts of me that are just as much "me" as my arms or legs might exist beyond my capacities of perception. In addition, these other beings might be able to perceive these unseen parts, and perhaps manipulate them in various ways, affecting our moods or behavior in ways that would seem totally random to us.

Something to consider when we wonder why humanity and life on earth always seems to be going in a direction diametrically opposite to the direction most people want.
