But even more fascinating were the intimate contacts with the pilots and crew of these extraterrestrial spacecraft: the kindly Venusians who took George Adamski on a tour of the solar system, or the less kindly nightmarish monsters with acid tentacles who stopped cars on lonely roads in West Virgina. > more

Send me an email or visit my website at www.jacquelinsmith.com. "Dear Jacquelin, I enjoy reading your column in FATE Magazine. My cat, Lucky, is extremely skittish. He seems to be afraid of his own shadow. As far as I know, he has never been mistreated in any way, so I don’t understand. Can you tell me why he acts this way?" > more
