To my way of thinking, there is every bit as much evidence for the
existence of UFOs as there is for the existence of God. Probably far
more. At least in the case of UFOs there have been countless taped

world, along with documented radar evidence seen by experienced
military and civilian radar operators.>>

Sometimes I think Earth has got to be the insane asylum of the universe. . . and I'm here by computer error. At sixty-eight, I hope I've gained some wisdom in the past fourteen lustrums and it’s obligatory to speak plain and true about the conclusions I've come to; now that I have been educated to believe by such mentors as Wells, Stapledon, Heinlein, van Vogt, Clarke, Pohl, (S. Fowler) Wright, Orwell, Taine, Temple, Gernsback, Campbell and other seminal influences in scientifiction, I regret the lack of any female writers but only Radclyffe Hall opened my eyes outside sci-fi.
I was a secular humanist before I knew the term. I have not believed in God since childhood's end. I believe a belief in any deity is adolescent, shameful and dangerous. How would you feel, surrounded by billions of human beings taking Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the tooth fairy and the stork seriously, and capable of shaming, maiming or murdering in their name? I am embarrassed to live in a world retaining any faith in church, prayer or a celestial creator. I do not believe in Heaven, Hell or a Hereafter; in angels, demons, ghosts, goblins, the Devil, vampires, ghouls, zombies, witches, warlocks, UFOs or other delusions; and in very few mundane individuals--politicians, lawyers, judges, priests, militarists, censors and just plain people. I respect the individual's right to abortion, suicide and euthanasia. I support birth control. I wish to Good that society were rid of smoking, drinking and drugs.
My hope for humanity - and I think sensible science fiction has a beneficial influence in this direction - is that one day everyone born will be whole in body and brain, will live a long life free from physical and emotional pain, will participate in a fulfilling way in their contribution to existence, will enjoy true love and friendship, will pity us 20th century barbarians who lived and died in an atrocious, anachronistic atmosphere of arson, rape, robbery, kidnapping, child abuse, insanity, murder, terrorism, war, smog, pollution, starvation and the other negative “norms” of our current civilization.

To achieve this is the meaning of Esoteric Hitlerism. When one arrives at such a state, one becomes the UFO, or the Vimana itself, without need of an external new science or a new technology, because one has achieved a parallel world, or a new place-situation, where we shall meet the Fuhrer and the warriors of the Last Battalion.

For the Orthodox Christian, the assurance is very clear. There is nothing to fear in this phenomenon, UFOs are merely a further manifestation of demonic presence. Our task is not to engage with them, or pursue them, it is to focus on the same spiritual struggles that the Church has always taught us. We are not in danger, UFOs cannot harm us, as long as we confess and repent of our sins, pray, receive Holy Communion, and trust in God’s love. Satan is a liar and we must reject his deception.

The Sixteen Conclusions of Reverend Kirk
In the last half of the seventeenth century, a Scottish scholar gathered all the accounts he could find about the Sleagh Maith and, in 1691, wrote an amazing manuscript entitled The Secret Commonwealth of Elves, Fauns and Fairies. It was the first systematic attempt to describe the methods and organization of the strange creatures that plagued the farmers of Scotland. The author, Reverend Kirk, of Aberfoyle, studied theology at St. Andrews and took his degree of professor at Edinburgh. Later he served as minister for the parishes of Balquedder and Aberfoyle and died in 1692.
Kirk invented the name "the Secret Commonwealth" to describe the organization of the elves. It is impossible to quote the entire text of his treatise, but we can summarize his findings about elves and other aerial creatures in the following way:
1. They have a nature that is intermediate between man and the angels.
2. Physically, they have very light and fluid bodies, which are comparable to a condensed cloud. They are particularly visible at dusk. They can appear and vanish at will.
3. Intellectually, they are intelligent and curious.
4. They have the power to carry away anything they like.
5. They live inside the earth in caves, which they can reach through any crevice or opening where air passes.
6. When men did not inhabit most of the world, the creatures used to live there and had their own agriculture. Their civilization has left traces on the high mountains; it was flourishing at a time when the whole countryside was nothing but woods and forests.
7. At the beginning of each three-month period, they change quarters because they are unable to stay in one place. Besides, they like to travel. It is then that men have terrible encounters with them, even on the great highways.
8. Their chameleon-like bodies allow them to swim through the air with all their household.
9. They are divided into tribes. Like us, they have children, nurses, marriages, burials, etc., unless they just do this to mock our own customsor to predict terrestrial events.
10. Their houses are said to be wonderfully large and beautiful, but under most circumstances they are invisible to human eyes. Kirk compares them to enchanted islands. The houses are equipped with lamps that burn forever and fires that need no fuel.
11. They speak very little. When they do talk among themselves, their language is a kind of whistling sound.
12. Their habits and their language when they talk to humans are similar to those of local people.
13. Their philosophical system is based on the following ideas: nothing dies; all things evolve cyclically in such a way that at every cycle they are renewed and improved. Motion is the universal law.
14. They are said to have a hierarchy of leaders, but they have no visible devotion to God, no religion.
15. They have many pleasant and light books, but also serious and complex books dealing with abstract matters.
16. They can be made to appear at will before us through magic.
The similarities between these observations and the story related by Facius Cardan, which antedates Kirk's manuscript by exactly two hundred years, are clear. Both Cardan and Paracelsus write, like Kirk, that a pact can be made with these creatures and that they can be made to appear and answer questions at will. Paracelsus did not care to reveal what that pact was "because of the ills that might befall those who would try it." Kirk is equally discreet on this point. And, of course, to go deeper into this matter would open the whole field of witchcraft and ceremonial magic, which is beyond my purpose in the present book.

Jacques F. Vallée (Dimensions: A Casebook of Alien Contact)
“
I have pointed out that the concept current among most flying-saucer enthusiasts that the unidentified flying objects are simply craft used by visitors from another planet is naive. The explanation is too simple-minded to account for the diversity of the reported behavior of the occupants and their percieved interaction with human beings. Could this concept serve precisely a diversionary role in masking the real, infinitely more complex nature of the technology that gives rise to the sightings?
[...] Here then, is a brief statement of five new propositions based upon the material we have reviewed so far:
1. The things we call unidentified flying objects are neither objects nor flying. They can dematerialize, as some reliable photographs seem to show, and they violate the laws of motion as we know them.
2. UFOs have been seen throughout history and have consistently recieved (or provided) their own explanation within the framework of each culture. In antiquity their occupants were regarded as gods; in medieval times, as magicians; in the nineteenth century, as scientific geniuses; in our own time, as interplanetary travelers. (Statements made by occupants of the 1897 airship included such declarations as "We are from Kansas" and even "We are from anywhere... but we'll be in Greece tomorrow.")
3. UFO reports are not necessarily caused by visits from space travelers. The phenomenon could be a manifestation of a much more complex technology. If time and space are not as simple in structure as physicists have assumed until now, then the question "where do they come from?" may be meaningless; they could come from a place in time. If consciousness can be manifested outside the body, then the range of hypotheses can be even wider.
4. The key to an understanding of the phenomenon lies in the psychic effects it produces (or the psychic awareness it makes possible) in its observers. Their lives are often deeply changed, and they develop unusual talents with which they may find it difficult to cope. The proportion of witnesses who do come forward and publish accounts of these experiences is quite low; most of them choose to remain silent.
5. Contact between human percipients and the UFO phenomenon always occurs under conditions controlled by the latter. Its characteristic feature is a factor of absurdity that leads to a rejection of the story by the upper layers of the target society and an absorption at a deep unconscious level of the symbols conveyed by the encounter. The mechanism of this resonance between the UFO symbol and the archetypes of the human unconscious has been abundantly demonstrated by Carl Jung, whose book Flying Saucers makes many references to the age-old significance of the signs in the sky.
I am not regarding the phenomenon of the UFOs as the unknowable, uncontrollable game of a higher order of beings. Neither is it likely, in my view, that an encounter with UFOs would add to the human being anything it did not already possess. Everything works as if the phenomenon were the product of a technology that followed well-defined rules and patterns, though fantastic by ordinary human standards. It has so far posed no apparent threat to national defense and seems to be indifferent to the welfare of individual witnesses, leading many to assume that we may be dealing with a still-undiscovered natural occurrence ("It cannot be intelligent," say some people, "because it does not attack us!"). But its impact in shaping man's long-term creativity and unconscious impulses is probably enormous. The fact that we have no methodology to deal with such an impact is only an indication of how little we know about our own psychic world.

The absurdity of many UFO stories and of many religious visions is not a superficial logical mistake. It may be the key to their function. According to Major Murphy, the confusion in the UFO mystery may have been put there deliberately to achieve certain results. One of these results has been to keep scientists away. The other is to create the conditions for a new form of social control, a change in Man’s perception of his place in the universe. Are his theories fantastic? Before we decide, let us review a few other facts. We need to examine more closely the political connections.
Paris Flammonde, in his well-documented Age of Flying Saucers, remarked that “a great many of the contactees purvey philosophies which are tinged, if not tainted, with totalitarian overtones.”1
A catalogue of contactee themes, compiled from interviews I have conducted, includes the following.
Intellectual abdication. The widespread belief that human beings are incapable of solving their own problems, and that extraterrestrial intervention is imperative to save us “in spite of ourselves.” The danger in such a philosophy is that it makes its believers dependent on outside forces and discourages personal responsibility: why should we worry about the problems around us, if the Gods from Outer Space are about to solve them?
Racist philosophy. The pernicious suggestion that some of us on the Earth are of extraterrestrial descent and therefore constitute a “higher race.” The dangers inherent in this belief should be obvious to anybody who hasn’t forgotten the genocides of World War II, executed on the premise that some races were somehow “purer” or better than others. (Let us note in passing that Adamski’s Venusian, the Stranger of the Canigou seen by Bordas, and many other alleged extraterrestrials were all tall Aryan types with long blond hair.)
Technical impotence. The statement that the birth of civilization on this planet resulted not from the genius and ability of mankind, but from repeated assistance by higher beings. Archaeologists and anthropologists are constantly aware of the marvelous skill with which the “Ancient Engineers” (to use L. Sprague de Camp’s phrase) developed the tools of civilization on all continents. No appeal to superior powers is necessary to explain the achievements of early culture. The belief expressed by the contactees reveals a tragic lack of trust on their part in human ability.
Social utopia. Fantastic economic theories, including the belief that a “world economy” can be created overnight, and that democracy should be abolished in favor of Utopian systems, usually dictatorial in their outlook.

I know for a fact the first UFOs reported in modern times, just before the crash at Roswell, were boomerang shaped and were reported as 'flying saucers' to describe the motion of their flight, like a saucer skipping over water. Yet immediately after, people saw and photographed saucer-shaped objects. Boomerang-shaped objects were rarely seen.

While your aunt rejoined the Mind of GOD upon her death, when her consciousness returns to our Earthly physical plane, aunt Sallie’s consciousness splits into two components-- the psyche aspect that remains in the non-Earthly plane of the Universal Mind, and the physical aspect, that physically appears to you in the Earthly plane. Dual Aspect Monism can provide a model of why the CAP/UFO Contact Experiencers have seen thousands of very different “physical” forms of CAP/UFO-related Non-Human Intelligence where the overwhelming majority are “seen” for less than one minute. It can provide a model of why CAP/UFO contact Experiencers are seeing tens of thousands of different objects in the Sky, most of them seen as diverse light configurations. While many are seen as physical, they might be “holographic projections” – they appear as physical objects but they are not. This theory can explain why the CAP/UFO Experiencer is seeing tens of thousands of different “physical beings” -- these perceived physical beings are not coming from tens of thousands of physical planets and visiting us, usually for less than 1 minute. Instead, these tens of thousands of diverse physical beings might be holographic projections from an external consciousness-based reality.

Intersectional Theory provided an entirely new, “increasingly sophisticated” way to understand power dynamics in society, allowing them to repurpose their failing theoretical models into something more diffuse and less falsifiable.23 We often observe this kind of shift to a more “sophisticated” and nebulous model when people are highly personally and ideologically committed to a theoretical approach that is clearly failing. This phenomenon was first described by Leon Festinger, in his study of UFO cults, and led to the development of the concept of cognitive dissonance.24 Festinger observed that highly committed cultists did not abandon their beliefs when the predictions of the cult failed to manifest—when the UFO never came. Instead, cultists resolved this undeniable contradiction by claiming the event had occurred, but in some unfalsifiable way (specifically, they claimed God decided to spare the planet as a result of the faith of the cultists).

This understanding remains at the core of who I am. I never squash a bug, I never fish or hunt. Through all my trials since, this belief has guided me, giving me the hope and courage I have needed to carry on.

I had been so devoted to the church, but here was a spiritual experience as powerful as any I had ever felt at church. I served as a deacon for a congregation that turned me into a pariah. I had depended on the church in facing the big questions in life, and when I needed them most they accused me of courting demons.

We see them, but they don’t seem to want anything to do with us. For some reason, they like you. They let you see them and experience them. We need to learn why.

To paint with a very broad brush, various politically-affiliated religious sects and institutions have told us that they alone hold the keys to religious experience, meanwhile casting all outsiders as damned in the eyes of their god.

the messages seemingly received thus far have indicated many planets, without consistency or any proof of any kind. About the only sensible message given was the one back in 1897, by the occupants of an airship-shaped UFO: “We’re from ANYWHERE, but we shall be in Cuba tomorrow!

Aristotelian dogmatic habit also reinforces and gets reinforced by ancient mammalian territorial imperatives. Wild primates, like other vertebrates, claim physical territories; domesticated primates (humans) claim "mental" territories — Ideologies and Religions. Thus, one seldom hears a quantum maybe in discussions of Roosevelt's economic policies versus Ronald Reagan's economic policies. Like Sheaffer and Keyhoe, most UFO believers and UFO debunkers disagree about everything else, but share a common aversion to the word maybe. And one virtually never hears "Maybe Jesus was the son of God" or "Maybe Islam is a false religion.

It was horrifying as a parent to see your child quake in fear over something you yourself didn’t understand. All I could tell Junior when he came to me saying he was afraid to sleep was to call out to God, say his name, and the shadows he saw would back off. The rest of the kids wanted more and more to talk about what they had seen and what Junior and I had seen, and Yvonne wanted more and more to keep our family within the bounds of sanity.

She described the flashes as coming from orbs, after which out of both of them, two dim, translucent beings stepped out and into the living room. She stood up and followed them as they walked down the hallway toward the kitchen.

We must study the Word of God and know it so well that when a false teaching arises, we can easily recognize the deception. God is not the author of confusion but of peace. And when things seem confusing, it’s not of God (1 Corinthians 14:33).

For several years, I taught Sunday school in my church. As an object lesson, I distributed several excerpts from recent news articles. I had students read the excerpt and then explain to the class what they believed was happening. One news excerpt stated:
The huge black triangular-shaped flying object came silently out of nowhere over the treetops and was gone in seconds. The lights – three on each side – were huge, seemingly as big as cars and bright yellow…. After the craft flew over the Laurie area around 8:30 p.m. Oct. 5, a handful of Laurie area residents questioned what this unidentified object flying in the night sky could be.
A second excerpt from another article read:
The UFO was spotted by hundreds of witnesses with many believing it was the work of an ‘alien’ craft. One saw orangey-yellow spheres skimming across the sky. Another reported a ‘massive ball of light’ with ‘tentacles going right down to the ground.’ Then witnesses told of an ear splitting bang at 4 a.m. Come dawn the plot thickens. At the nearby wind farm one of the 60ft blades from a 200ft turbine was found ripped off. Another had been left twisted and useless.…the strange goings on at a wind farm in Conisholme, Lincolnshire, can be explained by a flying saucer crashing into the turbine in a close encounter that could, at last, provide the evidence of other life forms they have been waiting for all their lives.
After reading the excerpts, I asked the students to explain what the article was about. Hesitantly, the students said the articles were about a UFO sighting and crash; after all, that is specifically what the excerpt said. I then held up a printout of the actual news articles, which were titled respectively, “UFO over Laurie ID’d as stealth bomber” and “Unmanned Stealth Bomber Could Have Been UFO Responsible for Destroying Wind Turbine.” The whole article described a US military exercise with the Stealth bomber. The aircraft crashed into a turbine on the wind farm. The local residents were unfamiliar with the Stealth Bomber and some believed it to be a UFO.
The problem in accurately interpreting the news excerpts, for my students, was that I did not give them the full article. They did not understand the background or the whole story so they were left to fill in the gaps with their own ideas and interpretations. Sadly, we often do this same thing when interpreting the Bible. Very few of us are well versed in the customs and traditions of the ancient Jews during Jesus’ time. That background provides a context in which the books of the Bible were written. It is a context that shaped the very foundation of Christianity and it is a context that without, we cannot possibly hope to truly understand what the Bible’s authors were trying to teach us.

Do you want some chocolate? I got M&M's--"
"What? Why would I want chocolate?"
"It cheers people up." Hollywood took out a plastic baggie full of bright and cheerful little UFOs. "Here--"
V batted the calories away. "Yeah, you can fuck off with that."
“Why? It has that chemical that simulates the feeling of falling in love.” Rhage opened the bag’s top. “Fritz puts them in a Ziploc for me because sometimes the regular packaging breaks open when I’m in the field. I hate chocolate in pockets, all melty. It’s like putting your hand in poop—”
“Oh, my fucking God, please stop talking—”
“—except you can eat it, of course.

On the grass, thrown from the car, lay a mangled and bleeding body. I ran over to it. I held it in my arms, at a total loss for what to do, watching this suffering thing draw its final breaths. I looked over at the car again. It was my wife’s. This body was my wife’s. She was my wife.

Outside of the church, my head among the branches of a dogwood, a friend was with me when I thought I was alone. Silently, secretly, I was watched that night; I do not believe that force has abandoned me since.

God loves you so much that He wants to separate evil from you. He wants to separate you from the entity (Satan) that is the source of all lying, cheating, stealing, murder, and ultimately death (John 10:10). Satan will never quit being evil. God loves you so much that He created a prison for the devil and his angels. He wants you to live in a place where evil does not exist. God’s love is so powerful and so magnificent that those who believe in Him and His Son will forever be separated from those who reject and rebel against Him.

Standing four feet in front of me was a three-and-a-half foot tall being, gently glowing the color of the moon. Two red eyes. A glassy translucent triangle was fixed on its chest. Again I shook with terror. “I’m sorry. You got me. I’m sorry for running. I surrender.” As I said this, the being was responding: “You don’t understand. We are not here to hurt you. We are here to help you.

During dinner, the senior officers reported quite objectively on their experiences with UFOs at a young age. This would never happen in Europe! There I couldn't imagine a German or Swiss air force officer describing, without trepidation, his or her own UFO experiences from earlier years as an active pilot. At some point, one of the officers asked, “Herr von Däniken, have you ever researched the culture of Chincha?” “Chincha?” I inquired helplessly. “Who are they?” “The Chincha are an extinct tribe. They lived about 200 kilometers south of here. Pretty close to Paracas. The Chincha were the people with the three fingers.” Baffled, Ramon and I looked at each other. Our brain cells worked in parallel. The high military we were talking to knew nothing about my search for mummies with three fingers, and now there should be an extinct human tribe with three fingers?
