I have been a fan of Mike Clelland‰ÃƒÂ›Ã‚ªs blog, the Hidden Experience, for a number of years, and this book, and The Messengers, to which this is a companion piece, are fascinating insights into the elusive connection between owl encounters and the UFO phenomenon. There is such a wealth of anecdotes out there connecting the two, and his research compiling these stories has been an incredible feat. These are human stories, brushes with the inexplicable and unusual, manifesting in powerful religious experiences and transformative moments in people‰Ûªs lives. The author reads these stories wonderfully, with a warm, avuncular voice that is equally calming and engaging. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is as fascinated with magic, high strangeness, and the generally unexplainable side of the world we live in. ( )
