Interesting interview on Skeptiko about an UFO reseracher making the leap ahead to linking the phenonemon to (higher) consciousness, metaphysics and spirituality (which readers of D. Cannon's or some OBE books already know about a lot anyway ).

Most researchers are still too much into the nuts-and-bolts materialistic thing regarding UFOs (you know, flesh-and-blood aliens flying in space rockets only ...) , so I always find it a bit 'relieving' to read more and more about the metaphysical aspect and to witness how it slowly gains ground in the UFO research community. (Interesting view about the 'male' vs 'female' take on it, though ).
