If a player has lost his alien power, does he use the Wild side of his own flare, and does the flare go back to him?

A designer addressed this directly in the forum.

He uses the Wild side, not the Super, because he no longer has the power; afterward the flare is discarded rather than passed back to him, since he is not the alien while using it. Some posters argued he remains the race and gets the flare back, but the designer rejects that reading.
