Which source are you using to correlate English speakers with UFO sightings? I've only looked around the web a bit, but what I've found so far is that although the US, England, and Canada often come up high on lists of reported sightings, Brazil, Indonesia, and China also have significant numbers - my source is https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/ufo-sightings-by-country. I'm not sure how much to trust this source and would be grateful for more.
This is pretty funky! I’m even more curious about your libretto now 😳 Tangentially related,I’ve always thought that it would be awesome to see an opera in the space opera genre.
Love this Jane-thank you for wading into the weirdness. Love to talk to you sometime about UFOs;0. Also, might this idea of English and aliens be something akin to what Barfield is thinking of in Saving the Appearances?
We should totally talk UFOs. I’ve actually called the UFO hotline before for a wacky appearance over my office in Phoenix once. I don’t know a ton about all this but it increasingly seems like Christians can’t really avoid thinking about it… between AI and aliens, we have to get our epistemology right and that means ditching the rationalist assumptions we’ve all imbibed from the Enlightenment. I think we have to go back to a more textured sense of what knowledge is and where it comes from. Only then are we going to be equipped to discern light and dark spirits.
