Whether or not this last idea is true, many people with strong psychic abilities have had experience with some form of UFO sightingand claim that their psychic abilities either began, or greatly increased, after the experience. Some of these people suggest that they were able to perceive the alien presence because they were intuitive to begin with. They believe the alien presence actually comes from another dimension, perhaps similar to the realm that channelers perceive when contacting spirit guides. |

Yet there appear to be some souvenirs left behind by these unexpected guests. Material evidence includes burned grass and earth where UFOs have landed, UFOs on film and in photos, and UFOs shown on radar tapes. Abductees show evidence of scoop marks in their flesh, incisions, burns, apparent radiation exposure, bruises, and inflammation. And yet, according to most people and particularly scientists, these oddities still aren't considered proof. |

Despite all the reports, careful investigation reveals that over 90 percent of UFO reports have reasonable explanations of manmade or natural phenomena. One theory about UFO sightings is called the Gibbs-Smith's rule in honor of the man who formulated it. Charles H. Gibbs-Smith was aviation historian to the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. He remarked that when studying UFO reports, ''the strangeness of a case increases in proportion to the distance, in either time or geographical distance, between the investigator and the location of the report." The moral is: If you want to prove what you saw, you'd better spot your alien inside a governmental UFO research lab, with the investigators present. |
