On UFO Magazine Blog: "Kindred Souls"
Alfred doesn't know I'm posting this, but I'm posting the link to his piece Kindred Souls on "The Green Room" here because the article has to do with people; with individuals and the UFO experience. Well, it all has to do with people, doesn't it? Anyway. Read it here. Great image too!

Greg Bishop has a great piece up at UFO Mystic: Anti-Structure in UFOlogy.
Boy, wish I had said that!
Applying our standard concepts of information gathering to UFOs and the paranormal may be like trying to catch water in a fishnet, except that we don’t even know that the water is there.
Boy, wish I had said that!

Alien Abduction and Mystic Experiences (Gralien Report)
Micah Hawks, of the very excellent Gralien Report blog, has an item on Alien Abduction and Mystic Experience, with a link to Brad Steiger's piece on his My Strangest Alien Abduction Case" on UFO Digest.
There are so many aspects to the UFO phenomenon; nuts and bolts, the usual. And the mystical. What to make of those kinds of experiences in connection to UFOs? Some have not seen UFOs in the typical sense, yet have experienced deep mystical/spiritual events that include non-human entities that the individual puts into the UFO category. Like Nahu, for example, author of UFOs: Gods From Inner Space,who I wrote about some time ago in UFO Magazine. He, and his partner, have gone on to experience events like this, including seeing beams of energy, having psychic characteristics, etc.
Are some types of extraterrestrials capable of inducing these encounters? Is it something within us that enters into a symbiotic relationship with some of "them?" Are they more earth bound, or inter-dimensional, and not strictly UFO connected?
As always, there isn't any one answer to what UFOs are; except to state the obvious, which is that there are many varities of types and experiences. One type does not negate or invalidate the other.
