Where do UFOs come from?  Since 1947 when Kenneth Arnold first reported his sighting of flying disks over the Cascade Mountains in Washington, the mystery of these unidentified flying objects has intrigued the public. The 1950s were the flying saucer years when UFO groups formed and sightings were numerous. The US government opened up investigations, but none of them proved anything conclusive. Because of their behaviors-their maneuverability, ability to abruptly accelerate and decelerate, and to suddenly appear and disappear sometimes low in the sky and other times high in the sky, the idea of space ships visiting Earth from another world caught on.

There began to be accounts of close encounters with alien creatures.  They ran from humanoid to robot looking creatures.  As accounts of alien ships and beings proliferated, so did their variety.  There were finally so many different types of beings and ships described that the conclusion was that there were many visitors from other worlds.  Eventually, after no solid proof could be found, public and media interest waned and the stories about the space visitors subsided in the 90s. 

From the scientifically plausible description of Arnold's flying silver disks the saucer hysteria created hybrid creatures like the Greys and speculation that these entities could be coming from other dimensions, instead of outer space, because of the immense distances between Earth and the nearest stars, which, at the closest, are a light year away.  Some stars under consideration now are 4 to12 light years away, which would be possible to visit if half the speed of light could be achieved.  But those closest stars might not have life, although there are some that are being looked at as possibilities, although so far no planets have been seen circling them.

About seven years ago I had a very strange nighttime experience.  If you have ever watched the original Star Trek television series that William Shattner starred in, you will recall the ending when there would be a black background that was outer space and a field of tiny white stars.  Across the field of stars was the title of the show, Star Trek.  I had not seen that show for years.  In the middle of the night I woke up and was in the middle of a dream.  Impressed in my mind was a field of stars and blazoned across it in large red letters were the words, RED SUN.  It was so strong in my mind that even though
