Pertaining to the youtube video of the personal interview with EF, and exploring this in recreational mode:
The five objects had rivets? (Even MIG welds could seem incongruous.) Aside from the technologically anachronistic character of a steampunk or dieselpunk civilization, that doesn't fit well into speculation revolving around ultra-exotic visitors.
A homegrown organization on Earth that prematurely developed futuristic gadgets might be amenable to the scenario. But there is only probability in the ludicrous range for those covert
SPECTRE and
Hydra like criminal organizations being real, as well as their government-supported but denied Black Ops research counterparts. (Or put another way: As empirical agencies these seem within the neighborhood of being testable and thereby should eventually be disqualified from the game. "Only probability in the ludicrous range" counts as a negative here.)
Turning to the
Forbidden Planet trope, there's that underground, "20-mile" cube-shaped complex of Krell machinery (on the distant world of Altair IV) that generates tangible phantoms in response to subconscious desires in a person's
id. Assuming instead that there is an immaterial version of the Krell Complex (metaphor) housed in a
pregeometry substrate whose effects and sovereignty are not hampered by location due to being prior in rank to the sensible realization of space / time, Edwin Fuhr might have a winner (i.e, untestable). Perhaps the five objects originated from the id of his father back then, since he was apparently the only family member who knew about "flying saucers". (Guess there weren't many television stations, movie theaters, and comic books in the canola growing areas of Canada during the '70s and before for the younger Fuhr to be familiar with such affairs.)
Popular folklore like "saucer-shaped objects" stored as brain information, but given temporary corporeality by the rare, erratic receptivity of the ontologically hidden Krell Facility (metaphor). The influence of Daddy Fuhr's subconscious idea via the mediation of the latter thus prodding an abstract or generalized Platonic form to excrete a specific, concrete possibility of itself into the sensible world. An illegal trespass of that "level of instructions" upon the coherence of our particular "natural scheme" which must soon be aborted and brought back to right. These sporadic, conjured objects possibly carrying along their own personal histories and origins in realms that either never were or which achieved actuality elsewhere in a multiverse landscape. But quite anomalous to the history and incremental developments of items in this continuum.
