54 “There are thousands of them -- and they too have sensed something evil and demonic. And even years after such an experience it continues to haunt and influence these people in harmful ways; they have become brutalized. They have been mentally (and sometimes physically) raped at the impersonal whim of alien forces. Never again in their lives do they feel security. They fear any time they may be manipulated at will by forces beyond their control” (p.14). The authors point out, “Not everyone can successfully integrate the kinds of horrors that UFO experiences may bring. Strieber himself confesses that the experience of contact is so stressful that people who are unable to integrate it ‘are often shattered.’ The terror, confusion and permanent insecurity can break people; indeed many people have gone insane from pressures less than these. But the UFO entities themselves don’t seem too concerned.” “Why is it, | wondered, that the ‘occupants’ of UFOs behave so much like the denizens of fairy tales and the elves of ancient folklore? Why is the picture we can form of their world so much closer to the medieval concept of Magonia, the magical land above the clouds, than to a description of an extraterrestrial planetary environment? And why are UFOs becoming a new religious form?” (p.8). “The UFO phenomenon represents a manifestation of a reality that transcends our current understanding of physics. . . The UFOs are physical manifestations that cannot be understood apart from their PSYCHIC and symbolic reality. What we see in effect here is not an alien invasion. It is a control system which acts on humans and uses humans” (ibid., p.209-210). I.D.E. Thomas, author of a fascinating book entitled The Omega Conspiracy: Satan’s Last Assault on God’s Kingdom, agrees that there is far more to UFOs than mere visitors from other planets and galaxies in outer space. He notes that there is more and more consensus that these strange and weird “visitors” are actually “spiritual entities” -- and that UFO phenomena is a “spiritual” or “paraphysical phenomenon.” He notes: “Scientists of late . . . are referring more and more to these visitors as spiritual entities -- and indeed to the whole UFO activity as a spiritual or paraphysical phenomenon” (p.70-71). This was also the conclusion of the “Condon Report,” a document published by the Air Force at the Univerisity of Colorado in 1969. Although criticized widely at the time by UFO buffs and believers, this prestigious report arrived at three salient and significant conclusions: 1) It demolished the idea that earth was being visited by creatures from other planets and galaxies, concluding that there was no hard evidence that UFO space ships were from extraterrestrial civilizations.
