In spinning spirals or Vehicles of PURE LIGHT, God provides visible proof of his/her presence in the world. This book clearly states that UFOs are divine objects, heavenly signs that have appeared throughout mankind's history. The UFO is a reminder, a celestial light from above that comes during crisis and world upheaval to shine its profound radiance on humanity.
He describes a mystical personal encounter in which he was levitated into a vehicle of Pure Light, and how it changed his life. Following a similar thread of spiritual transformation in various classical cases, such as George Adamski, Eugenio Siragusa and Orfeo Angelucci, he unravels a startling side effect of UFO encounters--that many people develop keen psychic abilities. He confides that his own gifts from God evolved after contact with the light, including the ability to see ailments inside a person's internal organs in much the same manner as the great psychic, Edgar Cayce....
