UFOs in the Lehigh Valley: Northampton Community College offering 2 classes for adults yearning for learning that’s out of this world
The Morning Call ^ | MOLLY BILINSKI

Kathleen B. Covalt’s interest in extraterrestrial life started over two decades ago, when she and her husband moved to the Hudson Valley in New York, not knowing it was a UFO hotspot.

“We started meeting people who had stories,” said Covalt during a phone interview earlier this month. “I have a background in counseling, and people just like to tell me stuff. So, they were talking to me, and I believed them; I believe that they had a real experience that they could not understand.”

They joined a community group, where residents would gather to share their experiences with unidentified flying objects and other phenomena.

“Over 20 years ago, I knew something definitely was going on,” Covalt said. “And so, I’ve always been open to it, and I’ve had little minor experiences ... But the big thing for me is the people — hearing the people express with real emotion what has happened to them.”

This spring, Covalt is offering two online classes through Northampton Community College for adults interested in learning more government UFO disclosures, increased acceptance of the phenomena and possible religious connections to sightings. The classes, “The Rainbow Body: Could it be related to the UFO/ UAP Phenomena?” and “UFOs/UAPs: Current Disclosure Efforts and Scientific Investigations,” begin Feb. 23 and April 5, respectively.

“There just seems to be more interest this semester than past semesters,” Covalt said, noting she’s been teaching the courses for two years. “I attribute that to it’s just in the news more and people are taking it more seriously.”

It's an online course, but at $59 it's a little too high for me.

I might pay $10 to join an online class to discuss the abduction experiences of folks in the Hudson Valley...particularly if there were some speakers with personal experiences.

The aliens are here to save us from our ignorance. Please xxtygr from ngc-1545, you know how to traverse space-time....help us. Amen.
As an aside, please make yourself more visible, not so transparent, as our unrequited hope is wearing thin.
What do you mean that our Heavens Gate adventure and sacrifice wasn’t enough?

“Experiences” do not necessarily equal reality.

When looking for recent ufo sightings in the Lehigh valley as a result of seeing this article I came across this website. Thought I’d put it here for anyone’s perusal. It is a bit off the wall, to say the least.

True. People traumatized by "perceived" experiences also may have had real experiences that were quite different than what they "perceived."

There is an increasing understanding by people who follow this abduction phenomenon that those beings doing the abducting (even if they are only merely perceived) are more from the paranormal/psychic world than the "extraterrestrial" one. They look more and more like spiritual beings than corporeal ones.

In fact, if you look at what is being said about them (they are tricksters, liars, deceivers, even fixated on human sexuality), one might begin to wonder if they are not what we Christians call demons.

Included in the Northampton Community College UFO courses is an extraterrestrial explanation of the tooth fairy.

I think so and I think with the increased focus on alien activity, alien abduction will be blamed for the disappearance of millions of people when the rapture happens.

At no other time in history has there been as an acceptable, widely held belief in something that could explain an occurrence like the widespread disappearance of people right in front of other people’s eyes.

There are more and more "abductees" who believe that their abductors are benign entities who only want to experience the wonders of human life on this planet by sharing a human's body with them.

Sounds a lot like possession.

It is also strange that permission to share seems to be a requirement and must be granted by said human.

Let update my post.
The Bible tells us that Eve is the mother of all living.
Now that being said,
I do believe in interdemensional beings such as Angels but not extraterrestrial beings...

If a UFO is identified, does it become an FO?
And if a UFO lands, does it become a UO or just an O?

“I just wish there was more disclosure from the government”

You really don’t.

Governments will just push a narrative with tons of disinformation—that is all they know how to do.

The Bible is not a design or service manual for the universe. It is more sensible to watch and learn than proclaim you have it all figured out.
