A journalist writes about his abduction into a spaceship where they held him for 3 days and gave him their grand plan, so to speak ,for revealing themselves to the world. The reveal was supposed to be 2002, according to Phillip so I'm already a little skeptical.

Two other major "scratch your head" moments were when the alien wanted to have sex with him(I hate it when aliens are always hitting on me) , and the aliens told him they found heaven.
Apparently heaven was in a random location in space. The aliens also "scientifically" proved the existence of souls. No word on how that was proven.
Anyway ,although Mr Krapf's account is not very believable, it was enjoyable to read so kudos to him.

THis man has no ax to grind and nothing to gain. If he's lying, he's got me fooled. If you're interested in UFOs, then read this one.

Some of this I find well I guess I'm unsure of but very possible, the author seems creditable but to many unbroken details that makes me feel uncertain of his experience....
