I received an interesting email a couple of days ago, which I would like to share with you. Whilst some may be a little sceptical of the contents, I am sure there is a great deal of truth to it. Although it may not be an answer to all situations, it could account for many.
To add some balance to this article, I have also included information on an account that took place in 1967, but first let me show you the information I received:
Mass Alien/UFO Contact in Los Angeles
Many were contacted by “aliens” during an experiment conducted by the OOBE Research Center at UCLA. It was the first experiment to ever prove that close encounters with UFOs and extraterrestrials are a product of the human mind.
Los Angeles, October 27, 2011 – 20 volunteers assembled at UCLA on October 7th, 2011. They were instructed to perform a specific procedure upon overnight and early-morning awakenings over the next few days. More than half of the volunteers experienced at least one full or partial out-of-body experience as a result. 7 of them made visual contact with UFOs or extraterrestrials. Meanwhile, the sensations they described were identical to those of accounts by “alien abduction survivors”. By some estimates, up to one million Americans experience such encounters every year.
According to the researchers, the term “out-of-body experience” is used to refer to the sensation of having left the body, and not a real exit of some essence from the physical body – although this is just the impression often had by test subjects.
The fact that UFOs and extraterrestrials may be deliberately encountered in a controlled manner and within a few days proves that such experiences are a product of the human brain. Experiment author Michael Raduga explained, “We tried to right a common misconception with this experiment – the issue at hand isn’t extraterrestrials, but hidden human abilities. If you’ve encountered UFOs or aliens after sitting or lying down, it can now be unequivocally stated that you’ve had a spontaneous out-of-body experience. We have proven this.”
It has long been theorized that encounters with extraterrestrials are nearly always the result of spontaneous out-of-body experience. However, scientific proof would have to wait until the discovery of methods for inducing the out-of-body state. In September 2007, the OOBE Research Center started to conduct hundreds of experiments on thousands of people in 5 countries. That work resulted in the development of a procedure allowing anyone to have an out-of-body experience within the first several attempts. This procedure in turn allowed for the OOBE theory of extraterrestrial encounters to be tested and proven correct. The experiment was led by Michael Raduga, founder and head of the OOBE Research Center, as well as the author of 10 published books, the best-known of which is School of Out-of-Body Travel.

I certainly found their work on the out-of-body state to be interesting (as I am sure you will) and have covered similar subjects in my book “The Unexplained Explored”
This brings me to another email that I received today from Michael Jasorka, who is a cartoonist in Los Angeles, California. He has created an audio adaptation graphic novel 
celebrating the amazing true story of Herbert Schirmer, which is called “December 3rd 1967: An Alien Encounter”
The story is about the Nebraska state patrolman who was taken aboard an alien spacecraft on December 3rd, 1967. The graphic novel is originally adapted word-for-word from the found audio of Herbert Schirmer at a 1970’s U.F.O conference in Florida and you can follow this graphic novel while listening to Herbert’s very own words.
This is a truly unique experience and you can find out more about this project (and hopefully give your support) by checking out the following link HERE
I have to be honest and say I have never seen anything quite like this before and I hope it receives the support it truly deserves
