Hello,

the thing you mentioned comes up over and over again in related literature.
Ancient people reported "fiery chariots", 19th century observers saw "zeppelins" or "balloons".
We see Flying saucers because some of the first (fake) pictures used saucer-shaped discs. I always laugh at the Adamski Saucer because it's so obviously a coleman lantern lampshade.
Ray Harryhausen has told me about his research into the matter when he wanted to do "Earth vs the Flying saucers". He contacted several UFO "contactees" among them Adamski. he found him somewhat delusional to say the least. He was building a brick wall in his garden, Ray said. "for me that was a rather mundane occupation for somebody in touch with extraterrestrials".

I see this as a mass phenomenon showing the great spiritual void we live in. The so called "American Way of Life" is extremely narrow minded and ultimately empty. We may fill our stomachs but the brain department lacks something. Religion has gone out of our lives and so we cling to something else for our beliefs.
