    I believe in the existence of extraterrestrial life , that we are not alone in the universe. In the movie , Contact , Jodie foster poses the question of life originating elsewhere.

    "If not ," she concludes ,"then it's an awful waste of space."

    If other civilizations do exist within our own galaxy , have some of them visited us , and have some of them kidnapped us? Given the vast distances between the stars , it is highly unlikely. Maybe even impossible. But who knows what a highly advanced civilization may be capable of. Interstellar travel? Inter dimensional travel? Time travel?

    Recorded history is full of unexplained , mass disappearances. In 1939 , in the province of Nan King , China , three thousand soldiers disappeared without a trace. It happened in a fairly populated area , but no one saw , or heard anything. And in 1711 , four thousand Spanish soldiers vanished while on an expedition into the Pyrenees mountains in America. The entire Mayan civilization mysteriously vanished over night. The first English settlement at Roanoke , North Carolina , also mysteriously disappeared.
   These pieces of historical fact were included in the movie , Phantoms , which was released in 1998 , and which was also a novel by Dean Koontz. At the end of the book , Koontz speculates on the possibility that a similar creature to his Ancient Enemy , may exist , that may be responsible for world wide mass disappearances.

    In each of these cases , no bodies ever turned up , alive or dead , and no mass graves were ever discovered. To date , the fate of all these people remains unknown. They seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth.

   What happened to these people? Were they taken away by UFOs? Or did the earth simply open up and swallow them? No one will ever know.
