How Do You Talk to Your Kids about Aliens and UFOs?

Aliens and UFOs have always been a sub­ject that I have had a strong aver­sion to. So when I saw a Face­book invi­ta­tion for the movie “The Day Before Dis­clo­sure”  I just had to check it out. Of course I ended up watch­ing the whole thing, and by the end of it was too scared to walk through my own house at night. This is def­i­nitely a movie that gets you think­ing. I just wish they wouldn’t put that creepy music in it.

Most impor­tantly, this movie asks the ques­tion about how ready the World is to address the topic of aliens and UFOs. So I would like to pose this ques­tion to The Meta­phys­i­cal Mamas: How ready are we?

Sto­ries of sight­ings have been being told for cen­turies. Yet it seems to be some­thing peo­ple can­not talk about very eas­ily; and there are so many vary­ing opin­ions on the sub­ject. The topic seems to be get­ting big­ger as time goes on. I think the releas­ing of this movie is a good oppor­tu­nity for us to open up this dis­cus­sion on The Meta­phys­i­cal Mamas.I am curi­ous to know where each of you stand on this sub­ject, and invite all of you to post com­ments if you are brave enough.  I will share with you some of my own expe­ri­ence on the topic.

I grew up in your aver­age reli­gious Mor­mon fam­ily with a lit­tle inter­est­ing detail. We had a fly­ing saucer in our back shed. My grandpa, who passed away when I was around the age of 2, was famous and infa­mous for a fly­ing saucer sighting.

In 1959 my grandpa, along with 2 other men, wit­nessed a UFO in Idaho hov­er­ing over one of their farms. The expe­ri­ence lasted about 20 min­utes. It changed my grandpa’s life. He wrote a detailed account of the expe­ri­ence, say­ing it was the most spec­tac­u­lar thing he had ever seen. How­ever, he never men­tioned any­thing about aliens. He was more inter­ested in the unusual-shaped air­craft, espe­cially how it worked.

My grandpa was so amazed by the abil­i­ties of this fly­ing saucer that he became obsessed with try­ing to recre­ate a machine that could fly in the same way. He worked on it for 19 years. But just as he suc­ceeded in get­ting the project to a place where it could be tested, he died sud­denly at the age of 60.

After my grandpa passed away, Apollo astro­nauts, includ­ing Gor­don Cooper, came to Utah to test the fly­ing saucer. They suc­ceeded in get­ting it to lift off and fly! As a safety pre­cau­tion the fly­ing saucer was tied to weights and to large scale so that it would not float away. For years many inter­est­ing peo­ple came from all over the coun­try try­ing to find my grandpa and his famous fly­ing saucer.

I was too young to remem­ber these events, but I do remem­ber all the peo­ple who would come knock­ing on our door, not know­ing that my grandpa had passed away. I just didn’t know what they were com­ing for. My fam­ily really didn’t talk about it much. I didn’t even hear the story until I was well into my teens. I always thought the fly­ing saucer mod­els were just strange pieces of farm equip­ment in the shed.

Despite not know­ing the UFO story as a child, I had some inter­est­ing expe­ri­ences of my own while grow­ing up. I was able to see things other peo­ple would not see. Still, I had no idea what I was see­ing. When I saw the movie E.T. and my mind started to process the thought that some of the things I saw could be related to aliens and UFOs I became ter­ri­fied of my abil­i­ties to see energy.

Over the years I told my mother about things that I saw. She tried her best, but did not know what to tell me other than I must be imag­in­ing things or that I must be con­fus­ing my dreams with real­ity.  This led me to believe some­thing must have been wrong with me. I car­ried this thought well into my adult years, stuff­ing down all the mem­o­ries of things I saw until my late twen­ties. Sud­denly the expe­ri­ences started com­ing back. I finally real­ized they were not unique to me; other peo­ple around the world had the abil­ity to see energy or non-physical. See­ing auras, energy and even dead peo­ple is becom­ing a more accepted abil­ity, and it seems to go hand in hand with the topic of aliens and UFOs. As I began to make peace with this sub­ject my own daugh­ter was at the same age as I was when I started see­ing these things.

She would tell me things she had seen which were iden­ti­cal to what I had seen as a child; the only catch is I never told her about it! So hav­ing gone through these expe­ri­ences on my own you would think that I would be able to han­dle it beau­ti­fully, but I didn’t.

This is why I think it is an impor­tant topic to open up. Besides the grow­ing inter­est in the topic of aliens and UFOs, so many chil­dren are born with the abil­ity to see non­phys­i­cal or energy in ways that we couldn’t before. It would serve us to pre­pare our­selves for these dis­cus­sions with our chil­dren, although we may be blindly feel­ing our way through the topic ourselves.

Please join in this dis­cus­sion and share your thoughts in the com­ment fields. I would love to hear from each one of you.
