The world abounds with Paranormal and Alien encounters that defy reality and cross over into the realm of high strangeness, of which there have been many attempts to explain these mind-bending phenomena but still no one has the answers. With the US government finally admitting that many of the unexplained sightings of UFO craft may very well be alien technology, we are emerging into a new era, that of a “Unified Theory of the Paranormal” that may provide answers for many enigmas of the unknown.
