Quote of the Day:
The image of being visited by a majestic power from the sky and lifted out of this world has been incubating in our collective psyche for close to two thousand years. Given the structural analogies between UFO contact…and near-death contact, I believe we are dealing with a single mass reorientation in the global mind.
