"Grays" (note: year 2001) are making the news these days, and they even come from somewhere else.
Thus you have a heightened sense of anything new as being alien. It's all something strange, all coming from another place, all something not understood, all potentially dangerous and all very frightening. ----(deleted)-----Your perspective on this ought to enable you to support a premise that intelligent life in the universe is indeed attempting to make contact with you, and knowing that it is a friendly universe and that God is love, it will also be true that although it is unknown and strange, it is also to your advantage to approach other-terrestrials and supernal existences as if it were a force of good rather than evil."
