I was quite taken with Brad Steiger’s article "A Pre-Historic Nuclear War? World Before Our Own" and by the two questions that have driven him to date: 1.) Who are we as a species? 2.) What is our destiny?

Brad is an impressive expert, with a breath of knowledge about anomalous phenomena, ancient astronauts and UFOs. And yet, these questions are worth taking very seriously, but in a slightly different context than that in his article. Answers to them represent the outlines of a stance we must learn to take before we can cope with the challenge of Extraterrestrial presence on Earth; a challenge we can no longer ignore. Indirectly, this attempt is also a response to Brad, given our exchange of emails of late. If you all will allow me then, I’d like to contribute my five cents’ worth to the effort.

What I am about to share with you comes from years of exposure to information and to sources both inside and outside of the proverbial “fence.” My participation during my early professional years was modest and relatively nondescript - that is, until the summer of 1981 and a not so chancy face to face encounter with an alien that looked very much like us, and definitely not from the Zeti Reticulum system. (This taught me that not all aliens are 3 feet tall, bugeyed grayish, a most valuable lesson to date.) Since then, my life changed considerably, and the breath of exposure increased by several exponential powers. It is based on this latter phase of my life, that I would like to offer what I’ve been able to put together -- for what it’s worth… So let me tackle the first question then, in order to set up premises for an answer to the second.
