Dr. Richard Boylan defines "star kids" as having both human and extraterrestrial origins. "Many years of continuing Star Visitor biological engineering...have resulted in children whose heads are now often so big that a Caesarian section, or at least an episiotomy, is the only way they can be born," he writes.
A common characteristic Boylan assigns to Star Kids, is that they often cause a street lamp to go out when they walk by, due to their amped-up bioelectric fields. The children also can display a variety of unusual psychic skills that include making the self "invisible," mental influencing, time dilation or contraction, and pre-sensitivity to earthquakes or human disasters, he lists in his article "Signs That a Child May Be a Star Kid."
