Would this alien monitoring process be apparent to us here on Earth? Under most conditions a cohesive high-energy beam striking Earth might not be visible to the naked eye. If, however, it were to pass through a gas such as methane upon its arrival it could cause the gas to fluoresce. Such fluorescence might act as a natural monitor revealing the organized nature of the beam. Maybe, instead of fluorescence we would see a plasma display as described by Tom Mahood. This would be especially true in low ambient light conditions. Under these conditions one might see a kind of hologram of the storage ring back at the alien base of operations (see Figure No. 2). The hologram might be the interior of the chamber housing the storage ring but seen as it would look when viewed from the outside. It may have its own albedo appearing luminous against a night sky or darker in bright daylight.
Thus, the storage ring and its chamber at the source of the beam become a virtual spaceship. It may even be possible to "steer" or control the traveling half of the entangled particles by manipulating those in the storage ring at the source. In other words, they could "fly" their virtual spaceship to various locations of interest while staying physically at their base. On those rare occasions when conditions are just right to reveal their virtual spaceship to the human eye, it seems quite likely that most of the commonly mentioned characteristics of UFOs cited by Dr. Hynek would be met.
There is an interesting corollary to this scenario. One of the criticisms that is commonly leveled against alien UFO advocates is the lack of any hard physical evidence. So far there really isn't any. However, this may be one of those rare instances in which the lack of evidence is evidence. It may be that no hard physical evidence exists because the alien craft are only virtual.
The Explanatory Power of this Scenario
I need to emphasize that this speculation is only my best guess. Extrapolating on current science, of which I am but an interested layman, I have produced a scenario that I think is compatible with the description authored by Dr. Hynek and quoted at the beginning of this article. For instance:
