This intriguing encounter with high strangeness was shared with me in early 2022. My gratitude and appreciation goes out to Tad for allowing me to publish his experience and share with you. These types of encounters take on dream-like qualities, are rich in symbolic content, and have the feeling of some grand cosmic theatre in which we are both actors and audience. I would love to hear your thoughts and if you have had a similar experience. You can share with me via email in confidence if your wish. These are the types of experience that I am most interested in for my research into the phenomenon. Link in the comments.

Made in Italy - A short adventure story with buttons

Recently I bought a super cute cardigan at a thrift/usato mercatino for only 3 euros. Bargain! The only thing I didn't like about said sweater was it came with ugly buttons. No problem, I snipped them off. Yesterday Massimo and I decided to visit what we thought was a nearby factory outlet for sewing supplies so I could find some nice buttons to replace the hideous ones I cut off. The drive there took us through some unfamiliar mountain roads and villages where we made some discoveries, which I'll circle back to.

When we finally arrived at our destination we were told the factory was definitely not open to the public. But, after telling the manager our story and my need for 4 new buttons she kindly allowed us entry into a spacious reception area with gorgeous mountain views and a three storey tall lighted bamboo sculpture! I showed her my sweater and she asked me if I had a colour preference. I said black. She then left us momentarily while she went into the warehouse. She returned with a bag of about 50 beautiful high quality black buttons, which she gave me gratis, because of course they were not a shop, but a large factory supplying European clothing manufacturers. Her kindness made my day!

Now this next part could only happen in the wilds of Italy. On our way to the button factory we discovered the remains of an approx. 15 meter medieval tower! With the button mission complete we just had to explore this ancient ruin. Turns out the tower (thank you Google) was built in 1219 as part of a castle. The castle was destroyed in an earthquake in 1470 and then the tower was split in two in a seismic event in the 1800s.

Discovering an 800 year old ruined tower among the mountains my imagination goes to ancient wizards, alchemy and who knows what other occult mischief?! This was truly a highlight of an already pretty good day!

Ten years ago I wrote this short essay as my contribution to the then ground-breaking book UFOs: Reframing The Debate. Multiple essayists within this volume urge a fundamental redirection of UFO research from the external to the internal - by seeking to understand the daunting complexities of human cognition and consciousness itself, we may better understand the UFO and perhaps more importantly, better understand ourselves. I believe this is as worthwhile today as it was back then. I’ve sprinkled in some updated comments throughout.

Did you have an imaginary friend growing up? Are they still with you?

Imaginary friends are fairly common in young kids. And many of us who had imaginary companions as children later go on to encounter entities as adults. This then begs the question is the imaginary friend strictly contained to a child’s imagination or is there something more going on?
