Mantis Beings in UAP Lore: Telepathic Overseers, DMT Echoes, and the Search for Non-Human Intelligence

To the point

Tall mantis beings—seven to nine feet with triangular heads and dark eyes—recur in UAP lore and related experiences, as in Linda Porter’s 1963 eight‑foot sighting and Philip Kinsella’s 1989 account, echoed by Johns Hopkins DMT studies where many report emotionless mantis entities that may harvest feelings, a motif found in San culture’s ǀKaggen and ancient Egyptian, African, and Iranian imagery, suggesting perceptual cues and a possible hierarchy among non‑human intelligences, though no physical evidence exists and explanations range from neurobiology to hyperobjects, with a forthcoming exploration of whether UAPs are living intelligent beings rather than vehicles.
