Out of the Stars: A Message from Extraterrestrial Intelligence
When Robert Short began receiving messages from extraterrestrial sources in 1952, little did he know that his contact would become his life's purpose, eventually disseminating these messages through private consultations and a newsletter that is sent to people around the world. The positive extraterrestrial sources who convey this information through Robert tell us that they at one time existed in our solar system on a planet known as Maldek. However, due to the implosion of that planet, they were forced to evacuate, moving into a parallel solar system in a parallel universe. Out of the Stars - A Message From Extraterrestrial Intelligence is the true story of Robert's connection with these beings, and the sharing of their knowledge of our planet's history and future events for the people of earth.

Sometime in the later 1950s, Robert Short was mysteriously drawn to drive to an undetermined site in the Mojave Desert of southern California. Automatic writing had urged him to go, and a voice in his head gave directions. He'd seen UFOs at his home in the San Fernando Valley, and his mother'd told him about a man at "the big rock" who talked to space aliens. All this combined to land him at Giant Rock, home to the contactee George Van Tassel. Short was hooked.
Then, on the evening of October 10, 1958, he was vouchsafed his own direct contact with a saucer and its occupant. After some brief telepathic conversation, the being--who later claimed membership in a Solar Confederation--completed the adjustments to the saucer that had caused him to land and took off, but not without promising Short they'd meet again. So began decades of channeled communication between the two, and revelations galore.
The narrative of Short's first encounter occupies only a minor part of Out Of the StarsRevelation, which have come or will come true, and are thoroughly infected with evangelical/fundamentalist Tribulation theology, larded with some notions allegedly lifted from Native American thought.
This stuff becomes more unreadable and more outrageous as one goes along. Given that the book appeared in 2003, Short might have noticed that some of the prophecies he quotes didn't come true. He cites one claiming there would be "startling changes" under a new Pope in 1998 (p. 130)--but that year fell in the middle of the lengthy reign of Pope John Paul II (1978-2005). Short mentions the interstellar object SS 433 (pp. 137-138), which he mischaracterizes (it is not moving toward us at 25% the speed of light; rather, the gasses in its accretion disk--it's a black hole with a companion star--are falling at that speed into the event horizon); he identifies it with the "great star falling from the heaven" of Revelation 8:10-11. His greatest bugaboo is the European Union, which he equates to the Beast of that same biblical book. He is untroubled by the fact that the Beast is said to have 10 heads--which came true in 1982 when Greece joined! (p. 140; actually 1981)--while the EU today has 27 members.
I could go on, but the point is made. Like so much that comes out of the contactee world, much of Out Of the Stars is out of one's mind.
