or verbal) mystical quality, and it is
without exception unpredictable and non-duplicable. The bad quality of the
evidence and its sometimes mysterious disappearance are explained away as
results of the activity of space people (the UFO crews) because for instance, "
. . . they would find some people worshipping them as 'gods' which they would
not allow." or by some sort of official plot, "[Captain Edward Rupert] . . .
said he had been ordered by the Air Force to destroy any reports that looked
authentic . . . " In a lot of cases, space people have been reported as having
been seen, and even having carried conversations with earthlings, "I have had
other saucer experiments, some with space people directly or face to face . . .
" is an example of that. Another one involves a conversation between a
gentleman named Jack Schwartz and an alien, that took place in the latter's car,
" . . . we come from a tribe of people who crash landed in a rocket ship on
Earth thousands of years ago." "E.T.'s" do not seem to like being photographed
and no clear pictures of them are available; in a lot of cases they reportedly
disappear, as in the case of Mr. Schwartz, who lost contact with "XB-15" shortly
after their conversation.
A number of loosely related sub-groups make this one up but they are basically
similar in kind and their differences are mainly in the type and degree of
importance and/or mysticism that they ascribe to UFO's.
The second group is much larger, most probably the largest group of people that
can be included in any one loose association; it is composed of individuals who
believe in a non-mechanistic creation by a higher entity, a creator. This group
can certainly be called the religious group and it is included in this paper for
two reasons; one of them is that their most basic tenet, the existence of one or
more gods, is actually answering our main question affirmatively and without any
shadow of doubt. After all, one or more gods (depending on the individual
religion) have created the Earth and even the Universe and therefore, by
definition, they are most certainly of extraterrestrial origin. If the number of
supporters were to be considered the deciding factor in accepting it, then this
should most certainly be the prevailing one. This group is divided into more
faction and sub-groups than any other
