An eve on has it that "ant people" live

and visitors have reported see

strange aircraft - in the sky.
Some believe alien "mother

de Cristo mountains that run

the valley. Folks even whisper
there are one to four secret
"bases" somewhere in the val

writer has made a cottage in
dustry out of the UFO sight
ings, churning out books of
personal anecdotes from peo
ple who have seen something
weird, from mutilated cattle
to pulsing lights in the sky.
When Judy moved to the
valley from Golden six years
ago, she wasn't attracted by
the aura that has made near
by Crestone a metaphysical
mecca for such people as ac
tress and past-lives guru Shirl
ey MacLaine. No, Judy bought
her place, the 164-acre TLC
Ranch, intending to raise
Scotch Highland cattle. But
she didn't have the water to
grow feed, and the cost of hay
eventually forced her to sell
most of her herd.
Casting about for a way to
keep her land and house and
support her three grandchil
dren, the 56-year-old decided
to throw her lot in with the
aliens.
After winning permission
from the perplexed county
commissioners, Judy set about
to construct the UFO Center
and a campground on a patch
of her land near Colorado
Highway 17. By Memorial Day
2000, she was ready for visi

He explained: "In the 1960s, a panel of academics and
other leading figures known as the Brooking Institute
'ca was asked to put together a report for NASA on the
implications of encountering alien life forms or UFOs
cC.l during missions into space.

because they think that pe.ople are not ready to hear

But it is possible that the authorities may be on the
0 brink of a monumental shift in their attitude towards
: disclosing what they know about UFOs. An organisation
(w.) called the Centre for the Search for Extra Terrestrial
Intelligence is currently gathering UFO testimonies
CzJ from military and intelligence personnel. The findings of
Operation Disclosure are due to be presented to US

think they were not s'*:h a> mystery to our ancestors.
Maverick historians and authors have stirred up
controversy and provoked scorn from mainstream
academics by suggesting that aliens regularly visited
ancient cultures on Earth and may have imparted some
of their wisdom and technology.
One of the most popular and radical of these is Erich
Von Daniken, author of UFO buffs' bible Choriot o( the
Gods. He has even gone as far as reinterpreting biblical
texts and suggesting that aliens may have bred with our
forebears.
The 'ancient astronaut' theory is one David keenly
subscribes to. He enthuses:"! don't doubt that our
planet has been visited by aliens for thousands of years.
"UFOs sometimes appear in religious paintings. They
are clearly depicted in the Sis.tine Chapel in Rome -
Michelangelo was definitely aware of their existence.
"Images of UFOs go back to many of the ancient
civilisations. such as the Egyptians and Sumerians."
However. the apocalyptic 'lndeoendenre Dav' sc~rio

David said:'1 d. not think there is any reason for us
to fear UFOs and'beings from other planets. I am sure
that if they wanted to harm the human race their
superior technolocr would have enabled them to do
that already. For an we know. we may even be a greater
threat to them than they are to us."
Alien races may already be trying to establish
communication through cryptic symbols more
commonly known as crop circles.
David will be exploring the link between UFOs and
these striking and often highly complex crop
formations as part of a conference he is orpnising in
Dorchester next week.
Tbe conference, in its s.ixth year. will explore all
aspects of unexplai.ned phenomena such as UFOs and
