What a nice reply.

Thanks.

Have you read little more than Daniken?

I really don't think he is close to the best in any sense but perhaps creativity.

I'm not saying he's 100% nonsense but I consider his validity to be a rather low percentage. That's OK. I think part of him, at least, admits it's wholesale conjecture based on bits and pieces. Most of us are still left at that point with mostly no choice because of the evidence available.

I just think the evidence available for the whole of the UFO phenomena AT THIS POINT is considerably beyond what Daniken was basing his conjectures on.

Even this show last night had lots of bits and pieces that were significant enough in their own right. If they had been points about a murder before a jury, they would have carried significant weight. Collected together, they'd have probably carried the day.

But somehow, the bar has been raised so high due to the effective ridicule designed by the government, that nothing short of tangible prime time fleets of UFO's with Billy Graham's signature running along the bottom of the screen will suffice.

When the tangible demensions of space, time, household objects begin to seem to turn themselves inside out and bounce around as though leading a dance of chaos--how is one at that probably too near point in time--how is one to determine truth? How is one to have any confidence that what he thinks he knows is reliable knowledge?

I submit . . . only walking intimately hand in hand with the Man from Galilee . . . will--in the coming months and near years--afford any lasting confidence of what is true, what is up, what is down.

I didn't take V Daniken seriously after his first book, but it was very interesting. As far as ever meeting extra-planetary people, I have real doubts, mainly because of the impossibility of interstellar travel, unless somebody knows some physics we don't. IOW, they may well be out there, but we can't get there and they can't get here. Take care, oz.
