thanks for your thoughts. it's funny as i didn't think of those lights as "outer space" UFOs. i'm actually reading a great book right now called "shapeshifting" by john perkins (same writer of economics who also brought us the insightful nyt bestseller, "confessions of an economic hit man"). apparently, in his early years working at the peace corps (before engaging his services as an int'l business consultant to "develop" countries - aka destroy cultures - in latin america), he had much exposure to the shaman cultures in the andes (achuar tribe and others). it's a fascinating read on how our so-called "advanced" western culture has raped the earth of her resources, beauty and ancient shaman cultures whose role was to preserve this planet and all that is nature by way of shapeshifting, both literally and metaphorically. in this book, the author describes his own shapeshifting experience into a "globe of light" in which he transcends both time and space (much like the lights that were seen above latin america, etc.) taught to him by shamans who are completely aware of their oneness with energy and the environment (and hence, can shapeshift to any form of energy in order to heal as well as observe the current destruction of earth by western assertion). it unveils the obvious and yet, de-mystifies the unknown. it's well worth the read; i strongly recommend it, if not, for your edification. clearly, i don't buy into any current western religions (nor its ceremonies or filtered interpretations of the unknown) and the naivete that follows its righteous colonial quest to justify the upheaval of an existing harmonious and environmentally conscious way of life. historically, it has been nothing but arrogant, delusional and detrimental (much like the current bush administration).
