As this is being written, unknown lights have appeared over Lake Erie in full view of the Cleveland shoreline nine nights in a row. So far, queries to NASA, the US Air Force and the FAA by local media have been answered with the response, ‘we don’t know.’

So I have been thinking a great deal about what this may mean. On the one hand, I look back on my own experiences and I reflect that, as hard as it was, I got a lot out of it in terms of knowledge.

I know that, intentionally or not, they have been creating irreconcilable questions in the minds of many millions of people, and that, if they do begin coming into close proximity to these people, the hyperconscious state of mind that I wrote about in my last journal will be activated.
