Are We Visited by Beings from Other Planets?

Someone asked this question to my teacher, Chogyam Trungpa, a Tibetian.
His answer was: "Yes, they've been coming here for a long time". Then someone asked him:
"How do they get here?" His response was "They come in the bodies of animals."
This was in 1972.

Okay. I have to ask: the person left it there? They didn't seek clarification? Because the one sentence (they come in the bodies of animals) doesn't seem to relate to the first question, about UFO's. Maybe it's a VCTR-type koan. I'm sure that, had I been there, I'd have been pretty stunned-into-silence myself, but (as always) inquiring minds want to know...

Clark, that`s all I know...I was at Tail when he said it, but I wasn`t in the room. Someone I trust told me...that`s all he said.

I am familiar with this idea and I find it extremely interesting that he made a statement to that effect. In one of the tracks that I developed, I use a sample which says something like, "Millions of years ago, some form of intelligence came to the earth and learned how to survive by entering the body and brains of an earth creature".

Yeah...there a lot of wierd shit...and a number of exceptional Buddhist teachers ...Trinley Norbu for one.. have written about the nihilism of Science that does not consider the possibility of realms of existence hidden to human perception.
