Warnings are appearing all over the internet about a 'false-flag' alien attack that is supposedly going to be faked by parties unknown, presumably the government. Last week, the online prankster group Anonymous was supposed to flood UFO sites with reports of an invasion by triangular craft, but it never materialized due to the fact that we and others were tipped off about it and published warnings. I have always wondered if the visitors might show up in a more obvious way just before or during the early stages of some great planetary catastrophe, and since we're at that point right now, it's worth asking what it might actually be like if they did. I don't agree with uninformed doomsayers like Hawking and the National Geographic Channel. They come at this from the standpoint of an intellectual and cultural establishment that is going to be devastatingly challenged by the appearance of aliens with superior science and technology. In fact, they're going to be undercut almost to irrelevance. Think how Stephen Hawking would feel if somebody came along who could instantly and decisively close all the questions he has spent his lifetime studying? He would feel emasculated, that's how he would feel. It would be devastating. Read the original source: www.unknowncountry.com...

Stephen Hawking is uninformed because he thinks that the universe is hostile and impersonal, and expects alien life to follow the basic patterns that we see all known life to follow? This guy just lost ANY chance of convincing me that he knows anything about the possibility of extraterrestrial life visiting us.
"I wondered if I might not be in the grip of demons, if they were not making me suffer for their own purposes, or simply for their enjoyment."
- Whitley Strieber, Transformation, p. 172
"I became entirely given over to extreme dread. The fear was so powerful that it seemed to make my personality completely evaporate... 'Whitley' ceased to exist. What was left was a body and a state of raw fear so great that it swept about me like a thick, suffocating curtain, turning paralysis into a condition that seemed close to death...I died and a wild animal appeared in my place."
- Whitley Strieber, Communion, p. 25-26
"Increasingly I felt as if I were entering a struggle that might even be more than life and death. It might be a struggle for my soul, my essence, or whatever part of me might have reference to the eternal. There are worse things than death, I suspected... so far the word demon had never been spoken among the scientists and doctors who were working with me...Alone at night I worried about the legendary cunning of demons ...At the very least I was going stark, raving mad."
- Whitley Strieber, Transformation, p. 44-45
"I felt an absolutely indescribable sense of menace. It was hell on earth to be there [in the presence of the entities], and yet I couldn't move, couldn't cry out, couldn't get away. I'd lay as still as death, suffering inner agonies. Whatever was there seemed so monstrously ugly, so filthy and dark and sinister. Of course they were demons. They had to be. And they were here and I couldn't get away."
- Whitley Strieber, Transformation, p. 181
"Why were my visitors so secretive, hiding themselves behind my consciousness. I could only conclude that they were using me and did not want me to know why...What if they were dangerous? Then I was terribly dangerous because I was playing a role in acclimatizing people to them."
- Whitley Strieber, Transformation, p. 96

His book was the first I read on the subject. That and Transformation.
Didn't he at one point speculate that the aliens were actually demons here to torment him for their pleasure and that it might even be a battle for his soul?
He seems to be very confused about his own experiences, and can't even make up his mind.

I never considered Strieber as nothing more than popular novelist. But it has to be understood that the title of his book "COMMUNION" is based on a catholic ritual. He is a religious person which explains his use of words such as demons, soul, etc., for no logical, reasoning person accepts demons, evil or soul as anything but religious thinking.
But as to the thread Whitley has no information on anything but human events. Only believers pay any attention to his ramblings. I'm not a believer.
