ET communication relies heavily on symbolic imagery

This claim proposes that nonhuman intelligences use symbolic imagery—visions, metaphors, archetypes—to communicate with experiencers. Cannon reports cases where individuals receive complex symbolic scenes conveying lessons or insights rather than direct speech. Evidence includes regression accounts describing visionary landscapes, metaphoric transformations, and symbolic tests. Conceptually, this strongly supports DSETI’s symbolic-language model. DSETI evaluates it as Strong.
