6 DATE WITH THE GODS
saucers; this is a detailed account of a personal experi
ence. To get the full benefit from this message, it would
be advisable to keep an open mind. A few sources of
information already in print might be useful to help
support this premise.
An author by the name of Erich Von Daniken, and
many like him, have been doing research on UFOs,
giving lectures, and publishing fully illustrated, docu
mented books, complete with facts, photographs, maps,
scientific evidence and other relevant material. Von
Daniken is a modern scientist who is looking for answers
to the questions left here by the "gods," "a ngels,"
"cosmonauts," "chariots of fire," and "flying saucers" of
legend, tradition and history. All of these, says Von
Daniken, have been visiting the earth for thousands of
years.
Many thanks are due these brilliant scientists, for
their courage to face prevailing cynicism in order to tell
the world, in easy to understand language, supported by
documented evidence, that UFOs are not fiction.
Without Mr. Von Daniken's studies and published
evidence, I would never have dared to tell my story. I
would have feared that people would think I am either a
"nut," or someone seeking publicity.
My fear of ridicule, however, was not as great as the
guilt I knew I would feel if I didn't share these enlighten
ing experiences with others. At least with those who
wa nt to understand the connection between world-wide
holy scriptures and the headlines today.
I also felt this story was particularly important for the
present time because the world is experiencing much
turmoil from wars, pollution, earthquakes, changes in
climate, racial unrest, crime, terrorism, and the threat of
nuclear devastation, conditions which the Bible des
cribes as being evidence that the earth is now living in
its 'last days.'
