Thanks for the interesting posts, Chris! I'll look forward to this online archive.

On my quest to find out what exists beyond this reality, the topic of aliens/ufos came up rather quickly. Like all things before, I had been sceptical. Then I came upon the book Abduction: Human Encounters With Aliens by John Mack, a Harvard professor of psychiatry who investigated 80+ cases of alien abduction and conducted thousands of hours of interviews (by the time of his first book) that convinced him these people were reporting authentic experiences.

I was absorbed by the book, and as I intently read in the dead quiet of night, I heard a pebble drop as if inside the wall behind me. It felt incredibly purposeful and it really freaked me out, but I tried to brush it off as a "coincidence"...until a few minutes later when a much larger thud came from the same space.

This experience coincided with my dreams and subsequent altered-state experiences relating to the alien phenomenon. I've gathered my journal entries for posting here in 3 parts, including drawings from my vivid visual experiences.

I later read The Encylcopedia of Extraterrestrial Encounters, which was pretty good, along with channeled information about aliens from the books by Dolores Cannon, and Rosalind McKnight's OBE experiences in Cosmic Journeys. Though my favourites so far have been Alien Agenda and The Andreasson Affair (see descriptions on my book reviews page). Another great read about aliens, this one through use of SRV (Scientific Remote Viewing), is Cosmic Voyage by Courtney Brown, PhD (free online currently).

It is very hard to ignore this phenomenon, let alone be uninterested, with the hundreds of thousands of witnesses and experiencers all over the world.
