Kucinich had UFO encounter claims Shirley MacLaine
Cleveland Plain Dealer ^ | October 23, 2007 | Stephen Koff

Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich has claimed to have seen a UFO, according to Shirley MacLaine in her new book, "Sage-Ing While Age-Ing."

Kucinich "had a close sighting over my home in Graham, Washington, when I lived there," the actress, a close Kucinich friend, wrote. "Dennis found his encounter extremely moving. The smell of roses drew him out to my balcony where, when he looked up, he saw a gigantic triangular craft, silent, and observing him.

"It hovered, soundless, for 10 minutes or so, and sped away with a speed he couldn't comprehend. He said he felt a connection in his heart and heard directions in his mind."

Kucinich's campaign and congressional representatives did not return calls and e-mail asking whether the Cleveland Democrat, now in his sixth congressional term, in fact saw a UFO or if there was some other explanation for MacLaine's recollection.

MacLaine is a well-known believer of UFOs and reincarnation. And she has been close to Kucinich for decades. MacLaine is the godmother of Kucinich's daughter and attended Kucinich's 2005 Cleveland wedding to third wife, Elizabeth, who's often campaigning by his side.

MacLaine also recommended in the 1980s that Kucinich visit New Mexico spiritual adviser Chris Griscom, whom MacLaine featured in her then-best-selling book, "Dancing in the Light," describing how Griscom helped her communicate with trees. Kucinich has insisted that Griscom was not his spiritual adviser but a "teacher and a very good friend."

MacLaine, who shares Kucinich's opposition to using weapons in space, doesn't shed any more light in her book on Kucinich's close encounter, including when it happened. Her book goes on sale next month.

MacLaine, who shares Kucinich's opposition to using weapons in space...

How's a starship to defend itself without phasers or photon torpedoes?

There are a lot of mundane things that Kookcinich can't comprehend...

Why not? He does live on a different planet.

VENKMAN
Elaine, you had another date in mind?

The CAMERA REVEALS ELAINE, an attractive, aggressive New Jersey
housewife, sitting on the other side of Venkman.

ELAINE
According to my sources, the world will end
on February 14, in the year 2016.

VENKMAN
Valentine’s Day. That’s got to be a bummer.
Where did you get that date, Elaine?

ELAINE
I received this information from an alien. I
was at the Paramus Holiday Inn, I was having
a drink in the bar when he approached me and
started talking. Then he must have used some
sort of ray or a mind control device because
he made me follow him to his room and that’s
where he told me about the end of the world.

VENKMAN
Your alien had a room in the Holiday Inn?

ELAINE
It may have been a room on the spacecraft made
up to look like a room in the Holiday Inn. I
can’t be sure, Peter.

VENKMAN
(humoring her)
No, you can’t, and I think that’s the whole
problem with aliens; you just can’t trust them.
You may get some nice ones occasionally like
Starman or E.T., but most of them turn out to
be some kind of lizard. Anyway, we’re just
about out of time.
(does his wrap-up right TO
the CAMERA)
Next week on ‘World of the Psychic,’ hairless
pets.
(holds up a hairless cat)
Until then, this is Peter Venkman saying …
(puts a finger to his temple
and sends out a though to his
viewers)
… Good night.

“He said he felt a connection in his heart and heard directions in his mind.”

Dennis is hearing voices in his head? That explains so much.

The smell of rose's what?
