This is a bit risky as a post because you may think it’s off the deep end. It’s that middle zone, where most people believe there is other intelligent life, but when it comes to evidence of that or claims about that, eyes roll up. Being a crop circle aficionado, I get my share — especially from what I’d characterize as intellectuals, who frequently get angry at me when I bring my topic up. That must be because I’m an intellectual and my fellow brainy folk must think I’ve abandoned them. (I was a Phi Beta Kappa, summa cum laude graduate of NYU, which I display prominently in my promotion materials so I’m not taken as a nut case.)
So, with a wing a prayer, here’s one of the most interesting reports I’ve ever read. It’s about the nature of the visitors that I’d not known. And I give this report credence because it comes from Whitley Strieber, who is aces. He’d been a successful novelist before his abduction experiences, and then, with Communion: A True Story
, his first book about those experiences, he had himself a major best-setter.
I picked up these blurbs from the Amazon website:
“…COMMUNION is surely the most thought-provoking book on UFOs and alien visitation published so far.” — Rocky Mountain News
“A fascinating story…And it certainly could be true.” — Detroit News
“Powerful…Strieber’s storytelling ability makes his own terror and confusion feel real to the reader…Compelling reading.” — Seattle Times
“Powerfully written and involving!” — New York Times
“Should give second thoughts to even the most hardened skeptic!” — Dow Jones News
“Strieber comes through as both sensible and sincere…His book deserves to be taken seriously.” — Boston Herald
I’m legitimizing Whitley so you will click on to read a piece he’s just written, The Danger of Disclosure. I guarantee you’ve never thought about aliens the way Whitley presents them to us.
“One person who is never mentioned among those who might be involved in the disclosure process is me. Instead of allowing one of the very few people on earth, or indeed in its history, to have had much open contact to participate in the process in any way, I’m not simply marginalized, but carefully ignored on the theory that what I have to say would be too bizarre for people to accept.
“Personally, I don’t much care, but I do know that without even the virginal understanding I possess to add perspective, contact, should it follow disclosure, is apt to be a disaster for the human race…
“So, why would disclosure be dangerous? If it somehow leads to immediate and direct contact, it is going to devastate the human mind.”
