Those pesky UFO’s–you know, flying saucers, unidentified flying objects, etc., etc.–just won’t go away no matter how much the government denies them and the media laughs at them. And I’m glad! OK, now you all know one of my deepest, darkest secrets: I BELIEVE IN UFO’S! I’ve even written a book about them: Dreamtime I’m so sure they exist and they’re right here with us that my question isn’t, “Are they real?” but rather, “Why are they here?”

What got me going on this subject was last night’s Larry King Live show. Anyone familiar with Larry’s show knows that he has more than a passing interest in UFO’s and has aired a number of shows on the subject in the past few years. I, like many other UFO buffs, believe this is a positive trend because of Larry’s credibility and the worldwide audience he enjoys. So, why another UFO show now? That’s easy: People in Stephenville, Texas, have been seeing unidentified objects in their skies. Credible people are having sightings. Down-to-earth, everyday, honest folks from the heart of the Bible Belt are looking up and seeing…something, something huge, silent, and inexplicable. And the word has spread all over the world. Here’s the CNN account: http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/01/14/ufo.sightings.ap/index.html .And here’s a link to some video clips from last night’s show:

Pretty interesting stuff, and since I live in southern Oklahoma, these things, whatever they may be, are practically in my front yard! You can be sure I’m watching the skies closely these days. Maybe, if I ever see one, I’ll figure out what those pesky UFO’s are.

Have you ever seen a ghost? I’m not one for statistics, but I know that a great percentage of the world’s population claims to have encountered what they think is a ghost. I’ve had a couple of experiences over the years, but the latest was just a couple of months ago. My husband and I were sitting at the dining room table in my sister-in-law’s “new” old house in Tulsa. Everyone (Chet and I, Liz & a friend, and Liz’s son) was enjoying a congenial, relaxing dinner. I happened to look down the hallway toward the bedroom where we were staying that night and did a double take. Two shadowy figures were moving across the bedroom and out of sight. My first impression was of a man and a woman in old fashioned clothes. Okay….but that wasn’t all. As I sat there, debating whether or not to say something, the same two figures appeared in the living room to my right, as though they had moved through the walls, the art studio and its wall, and on into the living room. I didn’t move, didn’t speak, just watched them glide though the room and out of sight beyond the doorway. My sister-in-law claims she has never seen anything out of the ordinary in her house or felt anything unusual. No one else saw a thing, but then, no one else was looking where I was. Nothing disturbed my sleep that night, and I certainly didn’t feel negative about the experience. But I’m also sure of what I saw.

Okay, anyone else out there? Can you top my ghosts??? –Paula
