My TED Story

I once met a soul. It is somewhat difficult to explain but the story of its happening is interesting. A Paramedic in New Jersey my unit found ourselves in a doctor's office attending to a very sick person. After entering the office a nurse rushed by and told me to get into the room right now because the patient was dieing. Actually, as I entered the room, an object that I can only describe as having mass and a cloud like shape, passed directly through me. As it did this it transferred to me the knowledge that the patient was near death. In fact I can say with some certainly that the patient had died but his heart, blood pressure, respiratory effort, etc was in the process of ceasing to exist. Considerable effort for the next 30 minutes or so did not reverse this death spiral.

    A comment on Conversation: What should be our first message towards ET?

    Jun 10 2012: Having only recently discovered that life exists on other plants - for that matter that other planets exist - We hope that you will understand our hesitant nature to invite you over for coffee. Would you please send a picture and some form of references. We will of course enjoy talking to you assuming that your communications systems do not, as ours do, require a two year commitment and a data plan. BTW - Our planet earth is a little under the weather and we would appreciate any ideas you have to correct this problem so we can still be here when you arrive. Yours Truely, 9 Billion Humans
