I have seen these "swirls" in a backyard in the Los Angeles area
(at least I assume these are what you are referring to).  They
were brand new and looked very much like the pictures associated
with the Billy Meier case.  These swirls appeared the night that
the inhabitants in the house saw a lot of red light filtering in
from the backyard.

They aren't. They may be excluding themselves, but that's a different
idea. ;-)

Cave art shows many examples of modern day-style Greys and other
nonhuman forms.  John Carpenter has assembled a lecture on this
subject and you can hear him discuss this briefly as part of his
interview now available via Netshow at:
