We are now leaving the physical aspect - the "nuts n`bolts" aspect - of the UFO phenomenon(-na), and entering a much more bizarre and puzzling aspect.
This blog post marks the start of a series exploring the stories of people who claim to have interacted with extraterrestrials, specifically focusing on those who say they were contacted or abducted by them.
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 will not 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 found no kind of evidence to support people's claims of having had communication or encounters with non-human intelligence. But again, there are questions about what we count as "evidence", in which context, and by whom?
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 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 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 UFOs 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!
