Following on from the abduction of a US Navy aircraft from an aircraft carrier moored in the Todd River at Alice Springs last year, Barry's attention was drawn to the area near Wycliffe Well - reputed UFO radiant point for the southern hemisphere. Having worked his way through the writings of various seers and prophets, he was particularly taken by the writings of the legendary Mother Shipton. Disdaining modern translations, Barry went back to the text in the original Sanskrit and the quatrain - "From the sky to rocks, growing through the matrix, the quick and the dead, crystals and the flesh, combine to rise again".
Based on his extensive theoretical work into UFO origins, Barry concluded that UFO's are actually flying cyborgs, part machine and part organic constructs, which are both sentient and self-replicating. He contends that an amalgum of essential minerals and biological material is activated by a consortium of nano mini robots working to a digital DNA-type plan over many months.

The trajectory of the UFO involved in the aircraft abduction, took it towards Wycliffe Well, and then on to the site of the nearby Devil's Marbles, consisting of thousands of rounded granite boulders ranging in size from a few metres to house-sized. He argues that a percentage of these are actually replicas, or UFO "eggs", installed at night after the original rock is removed, and coated with a few millimetres of granite so as to escape detection.
Barry is examining each boulder in turn using his newly developed Sonic-Sigmoidoscope - a slow, painstaking process that can take up to four days per boulder.
He says that the strange behaviour attributed to many UFO's can be explained by this being juvenile jinks by newly hatched, immature models whose programs are not yet fully installed.
Although he has identified no eggs so far amongst the 27 boulders probed to date, he is confident that he will find many amongst the 2,794 remaining.
