We are now leaving the physical aspect - the "nuts n`bolts" aspect - of the UFO phenomenon(-na) and entering a much more strange, bizarre and puzzling aspect. Starting with this post, this blog will explore and present material about people claiming to have had contact with non-human beings: the contactee and abductee aspect of the UFO phenomena.
I will refer to this aspect of the UFO phenomena as the "contact aspect" even if the contactee and abductee cases can be seen as different categories or experiences.
I am not going to go through the history of the contact aspect or present material on all the most well-documented cases. I am not trying to convince anyone that there is solid evidence supporting the contact aspect to be real (well, who decides what is "real" and how?).
Because I have not found any kind of evidence (this is also a question of definition; what counts as "evidence" and in which context, etc.?) to support people`s claims of having had communication or encounters with non-human intelligence.
With that said, I believe some of those claims and stories are worth listening to and taking seriously. And my main purpose with this and coming posts on the contact aspect of the UFO phenomena is to present some of the credible cases so that the reader can evaluate the material and make up their own mind.
One of those credible stories - or contact cases - worth listening to and taking seriously is the one about the experience that over 60 school children and other witnesses shared in Ruwa, Zimbabwe, in 1994.
The Youtube clip above is a promotion trailer for the full-length documentary "Ariel Phenomenon" that is trying to raise public awareness of the event in Ruwa, -94.
You can read more about what the 60 school children experienced in -94 and about the documentary "Ariel Phenomenon" here.
Whether or not we believe that some of the more credible contact cases actually happened - like the one in Ruwa 1994 - there is no doubt in my mind that in some of the contact cases the individuals are sincere, honest and truly believe in their experiences. In most contact cases, the individuals seem to be affected profoundly by their experiences. Sometimes positively, sometimes in a negative way, and perhaps most often, affected by their experience in a complex way of both "good and bad."
If anything, the contact cases show that the UFO-phenomena do not fit neatly into a category or box. Yes, the physical aspect of the UFO phenomena is validated, but even the nuts n´bolts aspect has far more questions than answers.
The contact aspect of the UFO-phenomena is truly and highly strange. Even weird, sometimes. But I cannot help thinking that the contact aspect has something essential to tell us about the UFO-phenomena and the nature of consciousness and its interaction with matter, space, and time. The answer(s) may have something to do with non-human intelligence. Whatever "they" are, and where ever "they" may come from.
Take care!
