Expertise

Human beings almost always interpret reality. Even with so-called paranormal or spiritual experiences, an interpretive process usually follows.

With this in mind, I'm interested in how the alleged experience of UFOs and Aliens affects human beings.

I'm not a debunker of UFOs and Aliens nor a blind believer. If you're looking for statistics, a verification or refutation of popular cases in the media or historical answers, please ask another expert. But if you're seeking a psychological, cultural and spiritual analysis of the belief in UFOs and Aliens, I can most likely be of assistance.

Experience in the area

Well, no I haven't been on a space ship and I have not seen an ET. But I've been interested in the idea for a long time.

Some believe they already have. Others believe they have psychologically connected with ETs without having seen them "in person." I just touched up an article about ETs which might be of some help.

2012-03-11 Hinduism and ufos:

Not any that I am aware of, but that doesn't mean such cases don't exist. When it comes to Hinduism and aliens, I've seen two main types of responses. First, we get these really questionable looking claims

2011-05-06 Is it all connected - did they put us here?:

Eric, IMHO, it's very possible that aliens exist. Since the evidence seems sketchy at best, I can't say for certain. Did they create us? That too is possible. But if Earth were seeded, we should remember

2010-12-11 Rich aliens?:

Thought provoking question. But I'm compelled to ask, how do you know? If you answer that it's based on 'messages received,' I'll be up front and tell you that I'm skeptical. Having said that, one can
