I should finally add that “buzzing” and entomology have been associated with the flying saucer phenomenon at least since 1951 (there was no “UFO” yet). It was that year that Gerald Heard (an author who also wrote extensively of his own evolutionary esotericism and helped inspire the founding of the Esalen Institute) speculated that the crew of the flying saucers were not only highly evolved but also bee- or insect-like. Heard’s discussion of this insectoid theme is quite extensive, as is his use of the adjective “super” to capture something of what he is trying to say.68
