In a certain Stephen King book (I think it was The Stand) Actually, it's The Tommyknockers (borrowing from Five Million Years to Earth/Quatermass and the Pit). the premise is that an alien space ship struck the earth in pre-history and was covered over by woods. However, something survived within emitting a subtle energy that effected human minds and bodies. It controlled the minds and healed the bodies. Both healed and transformed into something...not human. Energy from the buried ship could explain certain healings such as people suddenly not needing their glasses any more, Leo's unexpected recovery and perhaps even Andrew's return from the dead. I don't know about the other two, but certainly Leo's resuscitation was preceded by the canonical Spielberg/Close Encounters device: power glitches (all over TP, and not just in the Johnson abode) and mechanical devices coming to life. Major Briggs did say that he was working on an offshoot of Project Blue Book that investigated goings on under the earth.
