Ken, you never cease to impress me as a man for all seasons. I do not know the degree to which you have studied Jung, but this presentation is an outstanding application of Jungian symbolic depth psychological interpretation.
There is a blurry line between mythological metaphorical interpretation and “material reality” that forms the interface where synchronicity is born.
In short, you are exploring the very heart of seeking understanding of our modern UFO/UAP myth which was deemed sufficiently important to be joined with the myth of the appearance of the Virgin Mary during the outstanding demonstration at Fatima in 1917, about which I have previously written a couple of times.
I have not yet read Sarfatti’s take on this, which I will now do. Knowing him as I do, good thinker that he is, I have a good idea what he will politely and professionally have to say which will be worth reading, but I suspect will travel on a very different set of tracks than the one you here propose.
Thank you for this outstanding interpretation of this story which seems to beg for your insight, perfectly designed for the Jungian approach.
