Interesting story, Judy. I haven't seen UFO's but I know people who have seen them. There's probably "something" there and I agree that we can only speculate about the intention of the visitors or what it "means."
I watched Greer's video. The thing that I found fascinating about it was his claim that he can "vector" them in, make them arrive at a certain location, communicate with them with his consciousness and train people to do this. I'd like to see him do this in Fairfield. We could sell tickets as a fund raiser like we did for the Beach Boys' concert this summer. David Lynch should sign on for it. Seriously, I'd really like to see a demonstration of his vectoring abilities. I'm easily swayed by conspiracy theories so I'm inclined to believe his claims about the existence of Unacknowledged Special Access Programs, covert activities of a "shadow government" so secret that even Bill Clinton and his CIA guys were forbidden access to information about UFO's. Apparently Greer met with the Clintons and his CIA director about getting access to the USAP but they thought it was too dangerous to force disclosure. Perhaps Greer stretches credulity at this point but I'm still willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. Greer implies he has been in contact with the Obama administration about disclosing UFO secrets. Interestingly, at St. Gabes on Christmas Eve Father Tom, in the context of a sermon he gave about religious diversity said that the Vatican recently announced it had an interest in a scientific and religious dialogue about the implications of extraterrestrial life. So I Googled the topic and found an article that seems to support Greer's claim that Obama administration and the UN desire to disclose information about UFO's but military agencies such as the British Ministry of Defence (MOD) want to shut it down. "In an apparent set back for secret official efforts to announce the existence of extraterrestrial life, the British Ministry of Defence (MOD) has just closed its UFO desk. After 50 years of having an official reporting mechanism in place for public sightings of UFOs, a spokesman for the Ministry of Defence stated that the funds could be better used for the Afghanistan war. What is the impact of the British MOD decision to close its UFO desk? Why was such an announcement made now given that only a trivial amount of public funds (44,000 pounds/US$73,000 a year) will be saved on an issue that generates strong public passion? Is this a simple administrative decision on an issue that genuinely involves no national security factor; or a cynical move by a powerful British based national security faction to influence and/or impede coordinated international efforts to disclose the existence of extraterrestrial life?"
