Philip K. Dick had the impression that humans were about to communicate openly with rather hideous but spiritually enlightened creatures he described as looking like praying mantises. This was in 1982. PKD might have been interested to thumb through a book on alien abduction circa 1999: many alleged witnesses describe mantis-like beings with bulbous eyes, enormous heads and spindly, insect-like limbs overseeing the ubiquitous Grays aboard (apparent) extraterrestrial vehicles. There seems to be a ring of synchronicity here. PKD's informant may not have been entirely hallucinatory or drug-induced. Reading the transcripts of his conversations, it's obvious he regarded all of this with an almost painfully heightened sense of skepticism.
