I propose that the stick wielded by the child is the physical manifestation of a parallel consciousness insinuating itself into the spider’s simple “reality” The stick is the UAP and behind the stick is the consciousness of some kind of ultra terrestrial that our understanding of physics cannot explain presently.
Many try to make sense of the UAP phenomena by assuming the “stick” comes from some kind of far off planet like this one but populated by advanced “little green men” As well, many say, impossible! the distances are far too great to think extra terrestrial beings could travel here like some great cosmic road trip.
I don’t think these “objects” travel anywhere other than through the invisible membrane between dimensions existing side by side in the ether.
Spider, hell...I think my ex-wife lives in a completely different dimension. I would try poking her with a stick, but I’m afraid she might poke back.;-)
