Description
. Includes interviews with 7 people who have had extra-planetary experiences, including astronaut Edgar Mitchell, Norma Milanovich and Ingo Swann . Analyses the similarities of these accounts with 19th- and 20th-century reports as well as alien-human encounters in ancient Sumerian, Vedic, Egyptian, Tibetan and biblical records . Exposes the failings of classic debunking arguments against alien-human contact Since prehistoric times all cultures report encounters with strange beings and crafts from the sky as well as stories of extra-planetary experiences - that is, travel to other planets, moons and stars. In the case of modern accounts, these benevolent alien-human interactions bear striking resemblance to one another, even among people with no knowledge of other alien-human claims. And all experiences marked a spiritual turning point in the person's life, providing a loss of the fear of death, enhanced spiritual insights, a connection to cosmic consciousness or increased motivation to be of service to humanity. Exploring the veracity of ET contact and extra-planetary experience (XPE) using rigorous scientific protocols, Thomas Streicher interviews seven renowned people who have experienced XPE, including astronaut Edgar Mitchell, Norma Milanovich and Stanford-tested remote viewer Ingo Swann and shares the positive spiritual effects of XPE on their lives. Exposing the failings of classic debunking arguments against ET contact, Streicher shows these experiences are not contrived hallucinations but genuine transformative spiritual awakenings akin to near-death and out-of-body experiences.

Reviews"Through his thorough analysis of 'extra-planetary experiences,' Thomas Streicher successfully prepares the ground for deeper questioning: Are they merely significant as subjective experiences, or are they also objectively real? This book shows that we should not dismiss these experiential reports." * Jurgen W. Kremer, Ph.D., executive editor of ReVision: Journal of Consciousness and Transformat * "Employing academic scholarship, detailed documentation, human curiosity, and humane compassion, Thomas Streicher provides the results of his investigations of persons who describe their encounters with extraterrestrials and their experiences on other planetary civilizations." * R. Leo Sprinkle, Ph.D., counseling psychologist and professor emeritus at the University of Wyoming *
