Out There and Back Again..

Let's face it.. when I was 16 I proudly held up my copy of 'Chariots of the Gods' for all to see. How could those blind detractors not see what was plainly before their blinkered eyeballs? I definitely felt my Atlantian gills attempting to force their way out of my swollen throat (or was that the pilfered port)...

Having never made it into the vast underground golden tunnel setup in the Andes I may have missed my only chance to skip the probing and join my alien comrades in a cosmic ballet (or disco) that stretched from This Humble Earth to the Outer Limits.

Yet there was plenty of evidence contained within these incorruptible black discs that humans were not alone.. all one had to do was listen, perhaps backwards even.. or filtered thru a Klystron device..
