Possible Origins of Rh Negative Blood



In the preceding post I speculated on the beings created in Genesis Chapter 1 as well as Adam and Eve who were created in Chapter 2. An entity named "God" created the Chapter 1 beings and someone identified as "Lord God" created Adam and Eve. Were these two separate creation stories and were the creators two separate groups of extraterrestrial entities? Were the first creations still on earth when Adam and Eve were created? Did they interbreed? And are pure strains of the first creations still on this planet?

The Nephilim are introduced in Genesis, Chapter 6:

“When men began to increase on earth and daughters were born to them, the divine beings saw how beautiful the daughters of men were and took wives from among those that pleased them…It was then, and later too, that the Nephilim appeared on earth – when the divine beings cohabited with the daughters of men, who bore them offspring. They were the heroes of old, the men of renown.”

So at this point, we have three possibilities for the introduction of Rh negative blood: The beings created in Chapter 1 who apparently did not have the DNA of their creator, Adam and Eve in Chapter 2 who did have the DNA of their creator, and the progeny of the Nephilim as described in Chapter 6.

Elsewhere in the Old Testament there are impregnations of various women by an entity now identified as "the Lord" who might conceivably be yet another ET strain. Chapter 21 states “And the Lord visited Sarah as he had said, and the Lord did unto Sarah as he had spoken. For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age..." Other Old Testament extraterrestrial impregnations involved Rachel gaving birth to Joseph and Samson and Samuel were both born to barren women. Could Rh negative blood been introduced during these Old Testament impregnations?

Then there are the New Testament impregnations. It is possible, and in my opinion most likely, that the ET divine being of the New Testament is not the same entity/entities as described in the Old Testament. Anna was impregnated by the New Testatment god, resulting in Mary's birth. Elizabeth was impregnated, resulting in John the Baptist's birth. Mary was impregnated resulting in Jesus' birth. Jesus had a double dip of ET DNA as both he and his mother were the result of manipulation by extraterrestrials. I believe this is what made him so special. Perhaps this is where the Rh negative blood came from, the god of the New Testament?

No one knows where Rh negative blood came from; but it was not of an earthly origin, and it cannot be cloned. I wonder if the percentage of Rh negative blood (currently 15%) has stayed consistent since it was first introduced? Was there more of it or less of it at one time? So many questions...and no answers.

So What About Those Humans Who Were Created Before Adam and Eve?



As I mentioned in an earlier post, 'Back to the Bible', there are two separate creation stories in the bible: the first in Chapter 1 and the Adam and Eve creation in Chapter 2.

In Chapter 3 of his gospel, shortly after recounting the baptism of Christ (where the voice from heaven says "Thou art my beloved son; when thee I am well pleased") St. Luke provides a geneology of Jesus starting with Verse 23. It read: "Jesus...being the son (as was supposed) of Joseph, the son of Heli, the son of Matthat..." and went on and on backward in time until it got to "...the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God."

Luke was saying that Adam was the son of God. I knew that Adam was created "in our image". He was created by the gods (aka extraterrestrials); but the son of God would imply that you had the DNA of the father, no?

So what about those humans who were created in Genesis Chapter 1 before Adam and Eve? I believe they were beings that were somehow created by extraterrestrials, but didn’t have extraterrestrial DNA as did Adam. Adam was the son of god, those other creatures weren’t. Because Adam and Eve ate fruit from the tree of knowledge, they knew right from wrong. Remember it says in Genesis, Chapter 2, “Behold, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil…”

A chilling thought occurred to me. Perhaps the beings that were created in Chapter 1 were still in existence when Adam and Eve were created in Chapter 2. Maybe those beings who were created in Chapter 1, who do not have the DNA of our creator, and who do not know the difference between good and evil, maybe they are still on our planet today.


And these beings have interbred with the progeny of Adam and Eve, diluting it further and further from what it was originally, creating a population on this earth that is no longer able to discern the difference between good and evil. Also a possibility is that there are still beings on earth today who are pure first creation offspring. They have not been tempered at all by an infusion of extraterrestrial DNA. Perhaps they are pure evil. When you hear of vile crimes and you can’t imagine what kind of person could do something like that, maybe it’s these first creation beings who don’t know any better. They don’t have souls or any spiritual essence. They live and breath, but are really just hollow shells. And when they die, that’s it. They just die.

So instead of destroying those first beings who were flawed, the extraterrestrials just conducted a second experiment with creation, this time actually using their own DNA. Adam and Eve were physically put in the Garden of Eden so they could be watched, and also be kept separate from those ‘mistakes’ made earlier. Then when they ate the apple, they were booted out of the garden, free to associate with the earlier soul-less creatures.

Did either of these groups have Rh negative blood?

Blue, Purple and Scarlet Curtains



In Exodus, Chapter 25, verse 8, the Lord said to Moses “And let them make me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them.” And the Lord provided Moses with exact details as to the pattern and size of the tabernacle, its furnishings, the alter, the ark, the courtyard. The information provided was so detailed, in fact, that the Lord even stated that he wanted blue, purple and scarlet curtains.

In Chapter 35, actual construction began. Verses 30-35 are noteworthy:

“And Moses said to the children of Israel, see, the Lord hath called by name, Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah; and he hath filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship; and to devise curious works, to work in gold, and in silver and in brass, and in cutting of stones to set them, and in carving of wood, to make any manner of cunning work. And he hath put in his heart that he may teach, both he and Aholiab the son of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan. Them hath he filled with wisdom of heart, to work all manner of work of the engraver, and of the cunning workman, and of the embroiderer, in blue, and in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen, and of the weaver, even of them that do any work, and of those that devise cunning work.”

In reading these words, I couldn’t help but think of countless conversations Alex and I have had in the past about all of the great civilizations that created works of wonder: the Sumerians, Egyptians, Incas, Aztecs, Mayans and many more. Our belief is that they were taught, coached and helped to create all of the wonders that still remain on this Earth by those from another galaxy who were more advanced than we. How else could you explain the Egyptian and Mayan pyramids, the stone work at Machu Picchu, Stonehenge, the Moai (stone statues on Easter Island, some over 60 feet high and weighing over 200 tons) and other “wonders” of the world?

And the ziggurats that had been constructed from the end of the third millennium BCE to 600 BCE had also been constructed as dwellings for the gods; very similar to this bible story where God is instructing the people on how to build the tabernacle.

It seemed to me in readings Verses 30-35 that the Lord was very particular and wanted only the finest surroundings, exactly as he had designed, in which to spend time with the Israelites, and that meant that the Israelites would have to be “filled…in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship” to create as the Lord instructed. And the Lord, obviously, was a physical creature who demanded all of these creature comforts exactly to his liking. So he filled Bezaleel with the knowledge and ability for work in every skilled craft and also inspired him to teach others. There it was, right there in the bible. I always thought this was pretty much what had happened, but I never thought I’d be reading the details in the bible. Early “advanced” civilizations had been filled with the knowledge and ability to create all of these amazing structures and artifacts.


The tabernacle was built as the Lord commanded so that he might dwell among his people. Likewise, the ziggurats that had been built in Mesopotamia were believed to be dwelling places for the gods. Priests were the only ones allowed within the ziggurats in order to attend to their needs. These ziggurats first appeared during a sudden scientific and philosophical golden age and it is possible that the ‘gods’ who were being attended to by the priests, were actually extraterrestrials who were teaching human beings and helping them to create these extremely advanced civilizations.

Glory of the Lord



Further on in the Old Testament, I read in Exodus, Chapter 19, Verses 16-21:

“And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud, so that all the people that was in the camp trembled. And Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount. And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the Lord descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly. And the voice of the trumpet sounded long and waxed loud and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice. And the Lord came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the mount: and the Lord called Moses up to the top of the mount, and Moses went up. And the Lord said unto Moses, Go down, charge the people, lest they break through to the Lord to gaze, and many of them perish.”

I couldn’t help but think of ‘Close Encounters of the Third Kind’ when they’re at Devil’s Tower and the spaceship sends out this blast, much like a very loud trumpet.

I continued to read as God gave Moses a verbal summary of the Ten Commandments. Then in Chapter 24, Verses 15-18, I read:

“And Moses went up into the mount, and a cloud covered the mount. And the glory of the Lord abode on mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days: and the seventh day he called unto Moses out of the midst of the cloud. And the sight of the glory of the Lord was like a devouring fire on the top of the mount in the eyes of the people of Israel. And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and gat him up into the mount: and Moses was on the mount forty days and forty nights.”

“The glory of the Lord” abode on Mountain Sinai. And “the glory of the Lord” was like a devouring fire on the top of the mountain. It sure sounded to me that “the glory of the Lord” was a spaceship.

“And he said, I beseech thee, show me thy glory. And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy. And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me and live. And the Lord said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock: and it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a cleft of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by; and I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.”

I put the bible down on my lap and laid my head back on the chair and thought about what I had just read. I could envision Moses perched in a cleft in the stony face of a mountain, with the Lord in his UFO, partly enveloped in a cloud, flying by.

Back To The Bible



As I mentioned earlier in my post entitled "In Our Image", Genesis, Chapter 1:26 intrigues me. It reads:

“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.”

God had created male and female “in his image”. So if God had created man in “his image” then “God” must have had a physical form and was not just a spiritual being. And if humans were created in the image of “God”, then our creator didn’t look like a stereotypical extraterrestrial with a big head and big dark eyes and grey skin. But who’s to say how many different kinds of celestial beings there are out there; each group could look different.

Genesis Chapter 2 begins with reference to God ending his work and resting on the seventh day. However, Verse 5 says“…there was not a man to till the ground.” What had happened to the man he had created in Chapter 1 whom he told to be fruitful and multiply? Reading further, Verse 7 says:

“…the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.”

Was this a second creation or a restatement of what was described in Chapter 1? And I saw that “God” was “God” in Chapter 1, but now a quick scan of Chapter 2 shows that this has been changed to “the Lord God”. What did this mean? Was this a different entity and a second creation story?

Chapter 2 continues with the Lord God saying “it is not good that the man should be alone.” And then, for the second time, God continued to form every beast of the field and every fowl of the air. But for the man there was not found a “help meet” for him. The creation of woman, again for the second time, follows beginning with verse 21:

“And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh instead thereof; and the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.”

Then the serpent shows up in Chapter 3 and we all know how that goes. I especially noted the verses that read “And the serpent said unto the woman, ‘Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day you eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.” And once they had eaten of the tree, they did not die as God had said, but they did know they were naked.

I wondered who the serpent was. Was he ‘Satan’, or was he an emissary of an extraterrestrial community interfering with this little creation experiment for some reason? And if so, exactly what was their agenda?

I also noted that the serpent uses the word “God”; yet throughout Chapter 3 the words “Lord God” are used. “God” was the creator back in Chapter 1. Were ‘God’ and ‘Lord God’ two separate entities? Was the serpent connected with the ‘God’ of Chapter 1 and out to sabotage the ‘Lord God’ of Chapter 2?

Reading further in Chapter 3, I came across that second reference to “plural gods” when the Lord God says “Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil…”

I noted that once I got into Chapter 4, the Lord God became just “Lord” and again wondered if that had any significance. I kept reading past Noah and the flood story and came to Chapter 11 which began “And the whole earth was of one language, of one speech.” And described the building of a city and “a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.” And this was followed with:

“And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. And the Lord said Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do; and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech. So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. Therefore is the name of it called Babel: because the Lord did there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech. So the Lord scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth.”

Up through Chapter 11 there are three separate references to plural gods, and in each of them it is a direct quote of "god” speaking to others who appear to be of similar standing. And in the Babel story he is saying “let us go down”…like fire up the spaceship we’ve got to go down there and confuse the hell out of those people because they’re getting too smart for their own good.

Unmoving Experience



I was about 15 when I had my first sleep paralysis episode. It happened while I was babysitting for my sister and brother-in-law one night. They had three young children at that time who were all tucked in their beds, fast asleep. It was after 11 p.m. and I was getting drowsy. I laid down on the sectional sofa in the living room and after a short while I dozed off.

I don't know how long I had been sleeping when I awoke with a start. I was laying on my side, facing the back of the sofa. I could sense someone behind me. I could even hear their breathing. I thought to myself that one of the children had come downstairs and was standing there. I went to turn around and realized with alarm that I couldn't move. I couldn't move any part of me except for my eyes. I can remember staring at the woven fabric of the sofa with a sense of alarm. What was wrong with me?

As I kept trying to move, I realized that the breathing behind me was closer now. It was right behind me. And it was not normal breathing, it was loud and labored. I still thought that this must have been one of the children and something was wrong. What kind of babysitter was I?

As the breathing got louder and louder, I was in a panic and unable to understand what was happening to me. Did I have a stroke? Why was I paralyzed? I kept trying and trying to move. Then with one mighty effort, I flung myself around only to face nothing. No one was there. The breathing had stopped as soon as I moved. This really freaked me out.

I checked all the outside doors, which were still locked. I turned on the outside lights and saw nothing unusual. I know I hadn't imagined it. What had happened? I didn't say anything to my sister when she and my brother-in-law returned home. I thought they would think I was crazy. No point in even going there.

Over the decades since, I have had other similar episodes. I've sinced wondered if the breathing behind me was emanating from an extraterrestrial who slid back through a portal into his dimension when I moved. What else could it be? Did it have anything to do with Rh negative blood?

After all, I did see a UFO when I was younger...maybe they're monitoring me?

Hey, What Am I Doing Up Here?



When I was very young, I’d say four years old or so, I was standing in my backyard. Next to me were my cousins Andrew and Tom. We were out back by the edge of the vegetable garden. I can’t remember what we were talking about. But all of a sudden I had an out of body experience. I can remember floating slightly above the three of us, looking down and thinking ‘Something is wrong. I should be in my body, and I’m not.’ Meanwhile my body seemed to be fine. I (or should I say my body) was standing there with my cousins, looking perfectly normal. Yet ‘I’ wasn’t in that body. I was above it looking down. I was wondering if I’d be able to get back into it and I was getting panicky. I was thinking that in a couple of seconds that body of mine was just going to keel over and die, because "I" wasn't in it. And then all of a sudden, I was back in. I remembered what had happened. I remembered then, and I’ve never forgotten. It was a little unsettling to say the least.

At that young age, I had no idea that 'out of body experiences' existed. I just thought there was something dreadfully wrong with me and I hoped that it never happened again. When I got older and learned that other people have had out of body experiences, and that some people actually want to have out of body experiences, it was somewhat comforting. But to this day, it is an experience that I don't want to repeat.

Rh Negative Blood Relatives



Until fairly recently I had no idea that there was anything unusual about my Rh negative blood. I knew that after I had given birth to my daughter, I was given an injection of Rhogam. I was told that Rhogam was routinely given to women with Rh negative blood after pregnancies in which they carried Rh positive fetuses in order to prevent the mother's immune system from reacting against the Rh positive blood of any subsequent fetus. At the time I thought it was strange that my immune system would react against a subsequent fetus with Rh positive blood, but I never questioned it, and I had no more pregnancies.

Recently I learned that only 15% of the world’s population has Rh negative blood. The other 85% has Rh positive and the Rh stands for Rhesus like in monkey. So those with Rh positive blood have a factor in their blood that can be traced back to the Rhesus monkey. But the earthly origin for Rh negative blood is unknown. Scientists have no explanation for it. This made me think back to my mother saying that a monkey wasn't her uncle. I asked her to explain what she meant. She said that she didn't believe that humans evolved from monkeys. Her theory was that if humans did evolve from monkeys, how can there still be monkeys on this planet? Wouldn't it follow that all monkeys then evolved into humans? How could it be that some monkeys evolved and others did not? How could you argue with this? I certainly couldn't.

Recently I started thinking about the Rh negative issue again. An Rh negative pregnant woman’s body rejects the positive blooded baby in her womb. Her blood builds up antibodies to destroy the alien substance. Conversely, an Rh positive woman’s body does not reject an Rh negative fetus. Why would an Rh positive fetus be considered alien? I started to research this on the web and learned that scientists can clone the Rh positive factor, but they are not able to clone the Rh negative factor. There are some sites that suggest Rh negative people are related to the ancient astronauts and it's believed there is a high percentage of alien abduction of people with Rh negative blood.

I have seen a UFO, I have had an out of body experience, I have had episodes of sleep paralysis and now I believe this Rh negative thing is related to these.

ET/UFO Art History



Finding the usage of the plural pronouns "us" and "our" as references to God in Genesis prompted me to take a trip to a local bookstore. I told my friend Alex about what I had found, and he joined me, as he, too, was now curious. Finding several books which were related to ancient astronauts and the creation of the human race by extraterrestrials, we thought that we had enough to do some preliminary research. We were about to head to the check-out desk when Alex spotted ‘The Alien Chronicles’ by Matthew Hurley. “Look at this,’ he said, “the cover has a picture of the baptism of Christ with a big UFO above shining its light rays down on Jesus.” I said “That can’t be a real painting”. Alex found the credit inside the cover and he said, “Yes it is, get this, it was painted by Aert De Gelder in 1710, it’s entitled ‘The Baptism of Christ’ and it’s housed in the Fitzwilliam Museum Cambridge. The cover also states ‘Compelling Evidence for UFOs and Extraterrestrial Encounters In Art and Text Since Ancient Times’. We have to get this.”


I looked again at the front cover of this book, and said to Alex, “This picture takes us from the Old Testament to the New Testament. There is a possibility that celestial beings created us, and now there is also a possibility that there was a connection to Jesus. Like the Star of Bethlehem…maybe it wasn’t a star, maybe it was a UFO? Maybe every time you read ‘angel’ in the bible, it’s really an ET and every time you read ‘star’ or ‘cloud’ or some such thing it’s a UFO.”


When we got home, Alex said “I’ll try to do a ‘find and replace’ function of the bible on the internet and see what I come up with. I agree, this probably involves the entire bible, not just the Old Testament.” He got up and walked towards the computer and I started to thumb through the book.

I turned to the table of contents and found a chapter entitled ‘Creation Stories’. The chapter was broken down into sections: 1) Asia, Mesopotamian Civilizations, Bible Stories, Islam, 2) Africa and Egyptians, 3) North America, 4) South America, 5) Australasia. It referred to a common thread appearing in creation myths and legends of cultures around the world. The common thread was that beings from elsewhere with “Godlike” powers tried to assist in the development in the culture of civilizations around the world. The Indian ‘Vedas’ actually contained descriptions of flying machines, which were called ‘Vimanas’.

I quickly browsed the rest of this chapter and realized that I needed to sit down and read every word, not just browse. The existence of the types of books that we purchased today was evidence that our preliminary suspicion that the ‘god’ reference in Genesis might be extraterrestrial was supported by others. But the newly acquired books were too much of a distraction. I needed to focus on one thing at a time, and I felt that one thing was to finish reading Genesis.

I started to put down ‘The Alien Chronicles’ and then curiosity got the better of me. I turned to the table of contents again and saw there was a chapter ‘UFOs in Western Religious Art’. I had to take a peek at this. The picture on the cover was too enticing.

The first work of art shown in this chapter was ‘The Annunciation, with Saint Emidius’ by Carlo Crivelli, 1430 to 1495. The painting shows the Virgin Mary kneeling inside a building with what appears to be a dove (the holy spirit) above her. But outside in the sky is a UFO which is emitting a beam of light down, through the wall of the house, through the dove, and into the head of the Blessed Virgin. The Angel Gabriel was outside the building speaking with Saint Emidius.

Another painting was that of ‘The Virgin Mary with Saint Giovannino’. The artist is unknown, but has been credited to the School of Lippi, 1406-1469. This picture was amazing. It showed the Blessed Virgin with the baby Jesus. Off to Mary’s left shoulder is a UFO hovering in the sky. There is a man and his dog in the background. The man has his hand up to shield the sun from his eyes and both the man and the dog are looking up at the object. If you missed the UFO at first glance, then looking at the man and dog looking up would draw your attention to it.

Then there was the ‘Glorification of the Eucharist’ by Bonaventura Salimbeni, 1595. This was the most bizarre of all! Toward the upper right side is God the Father, to the left is Jesus, and above is the dove which symbolizes the Holy Spirit. In between Jesus and God the Father is a round object that has two antennae, kind of like rabbit ears, sticking out of the top. And toward the bottom is a round protrusion that looks like a camera or telescope. To me this object resembled a Russian sputnik or one of the earlier satellites. What did this mean?

There were other paintings and tapestries included in this chapter ranging from the 1300’s to the 1800’s. Why did these works contain portrayals of UFO’s? What did these artists know?

In Our Image



One foggy morning about a year or so ago, I poured myself a cup of coffee and looked for something to read. There were a variety of books stacked on the table in the living room, each stack containing different subject matters. On top of the stack of religious books was the bible. I picked it up and opened to Genesis and began to read. Upon reaching Genesis 1:26 I read the following:

“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.”

What did it mean? I continued reading until I came upon the following, in Genesis 3:22-24:

“And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken. So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.”

Intrigued, I continued to read and came across yet another puzzling entry in Genesis 11:7 within the tower of Babel story. I read “…let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.”

Why were the plural pronouns “us” and “our” used in these verses? Could it be that those ancient astronaut theorists were correct? Were we created by extraterrestrials?

Accept It On Faith



I was brought up a Roman Catholic. I went to a parochial grammar school and parochial high school back in the 1950’s and 60’s. I was taught that if you weren’t a baptized Roman Catholic, you were going to hell. Simple as that. We had a family friend who was a priest and I can remember my mother saying to him “Say there’s this little Jewish woman who was a good daughter, and is now a good wife and mother and never did a bad thing in her life, and you’re telling me she’s going to hell?” And he’d kind of talk his way around it, but still basically say “yes, she’s going to hell.” That would drive my mother crazy.

And you never questioned your faith. I can remember my best friend’s father back then, and the word was that poor Mr. Wallace had lost his faith; he was researching other religions. And I felt sorry for him and his family. We were taught to never question; we were taught to “accept it on faith”.

Over the decades that had passed since then I did start to question my faith. What I specifically questioned was the role of the Roman Catholic Church. How can the Roman Catholic Church be the one true church and yet orchestrate the Inquisition? What about the Crusades? What about all those corrupt popes that had existed over the centuries? Pope Alexander VI was a Borgia and had seven children during the time he was cardinal and then pope (Lucrezia Borgia was one of his daughters). So I have my own issues with organized religion, but I believe in God and I believe in the teachings of Jesus.

Many Moons Ago I Saw A UFO



I must have been around 14. My mother and I sat outside on summer nights in our backyard in Connecticut to enjoy the cool night air and watch the sky. We knew the flight paths of the airplanes from the New York airports to Boston and Europe. We knew the path of Telstar’s orbit and we would watch for it as it passed overhead. We sat in the sunken garden for hours on a nice night and observed the stars, planets, shooting stars and everything else that occupied the night sky.

One night I noticed a relatively dim light low in the southeastern horizon. It appeared to be stationary, but it was a light or star that I did not recall seeing before. I kept my eyes on it while taking in all that was going on in the sky above me. It seemed to me that it was moving ever so slightly. If you looked at it, you couldn’t see movement, but if you looked away and then looked back several minutes later, it appeared to have moved northward along the horizon in relation to where it had been before.

After watching this for probably a half an hour or so, I brought it to my mother’s attention. She didn’t remember seeing it before either and she kept her eyes on it as did I. Over the next half hour we both agreed that, yes, it was still moving north. Now we were really intent on watching it. It had progressed a little more than half way across the eastern horizon. We watched and watched and it appeared to have stopped. We continued to watch. Minutes passed and no movement. We were now up on our feet watching it. We were alarmed by the lack of movement. What could possibly stop dead in the sky? There were no sounds and it seemed to be very distant.

Then, from that dead stop, it made a 90 degree turn and was zooming directly toward us. I felt that it was reading our minds…it knew we were watching it and it was coming to us. As it zoomed in our direction, the light was getting brighter and bigger with still no sound emanating from it. It was almost directly overhead. Scared, I took off and ran toward the house. I could hear my mother’s footsteps following me. We reached the back door and ran into the kitchen and locked the door behind us. We were afraid to look out the windows for fear something would be looking in. We discussed this episode quite often in later years and often wondered if we had lost any time that night….were we abducted? We couldn’t recall losing time and we had no evidence that we were abducted. But now, more than 45 years later, that memory is still alive and I still wonder.
