UFOs and fairies

I'm not disagreeing with you, and I think the perspective you present has value if one doesn't get stuck in it. If one gets stuck in it, it is just dogma with new labels and of little practical value.

"Why did the chicken cross the road?" ... "to manifest the illusory reality of the other side!"

I've looked through the lens of "everything is an illusion" and "everything is the opposite of what it seems" sufficiently long enough that a nice bedtime story, a hot cup of tea, and good old naive realism offers a more satisfying mindfuck. And that, I think, might be the greatest value in the "unreality of reality" perspective: it can help you appreciate and enjoy simple ordinary reality. Once we explore the boundaries of our cage and quit trying to escape it, we can relax and make the best of our stay here... I say that as someone who is still clawing at the edges, bound and determined to escape it.

For what it is worth, I have no set position on the subject but I kind of suspect that there are no aliens, fairies, ghosts, poltergeists or anything else we have dreamed up but that the same forces or entities or whatever they turn out to be are responsible for all of it.  They all seem to behave like tricksters.
