David Halperin, in his book [Intimate Alien] I’m writing about lately, presents material about the image of an “alien” on  Whitley Strieber’s Communion.

(I’m far from a Strieber fan, as some of you know, but the points being made by David are pertinent to one of my other interests: God.)

David provides extensive information about a mask found in 1950 at Predionica near Pristina, now Kosovo in the Balkans and a archaeological piece discussed in Marija Gimbuta’s 1974 book The Gods and Goddesses of Old Europe: 7000 to 3500 BC, which I just ordered from Amazon.

David’s thesis has to do with memory of the image and how it may have brought about the artist’s rendition for Strieber’s book cover and its recognition by others in the context of so-called alien abductions.

(The pictures above are the Strieber “alien” and the Predionica mask of an ancient god.)

While Professor Halperin and I (and Martin Black too, I think) are not abductionites, the discussion by David in his book (Page 67 ff.) is interesting for the peripheral material.

For me, David’s text takes me into a realm that Dominick and others who visit here don’t want to go or hear about: the possibility that UFOs are not piloted by ETs but may (possibly) be vehicles of the gods — yes, the gods that many worship in their religious belief.

In my Substack and blog articles, I’ve been contending, as some of you know, that the Israelite god, Yahweh, was a mortal, an ingenious mortal who scammed his way into a position that the Israelites came to believe and push that he (Yahweh) was the immortal creator of mankind, the Earth, and the Universe itself.

My point, for UFO purposes, is that generational elements of Yahweh and his fellow “immortals” – as undivine as they were – continue to exist and have evolved to be technologically astute, thriving upon (or within) the Earth and appearing now and then via UFOs and strange encounters.

I take my Substack and blog readers through the academic vicissitudes to make my case for the obtuse conjecture that god Yahweh was just an unusual human, not a deity to be worshipped by anyone.

And I’ve been asked if I have considered a book with my theme. I have and I haven’t.

Anyway, the Halperin book has sporadic material that invites speculation and thought that takes the UFO topic outside its usual routine and hackneyed environment.

I’m not taking seriously David’s thinking that Jungian psychologies explain UFOs and give meaning to the enigma….sometimes perhaps, but not often and not in such a way as to provide a substantial explanation for many cases that most of us are familiar with.

But some of his book’s content is juicy and intriguing, offering me, for instance, to ruminate on one of my oblique interests,

More to come….
