There is at least one alternative interpretation: Extraterrestrial. It wasn't as well understood then as it is now how unlikely it is that beings identical to humans would exist on other planets. Of course the English labels would make that harder to support, but I can imagine a session where someone has to advance that argument against the "man from Mars" theory—and perhaps some of that theory's proponents adhere to it stubbornly despite everything said as to its implausibility.
