U.F.O. Encounter?

A transformative U.F.O. encounter is when one believes he has experienced an event that cannot be explained (whether it is a little green man or a flying saucer). Are these experiences a natural occurrence or are they apparitions of the mind? The author, Dr. lane, uses what he calls the "Chandian Effect" to explain why smart, honest, sane people really believe that they have had an "encounter." Yogi Chand has had himself visions that have no scientific origin. Chand explains that "the nature of our consciousness (or unconsciousness) is based on our beliefs and faith in those beliefs.
Our brain, I believe, is primarily composed of chemicals that act and react to our environment, senses, and experiences (our context). In times of great stress our brain is in survival mode. We can perceive and visualize anything we want (or do not want) to see. Dr. Lane, with the assistance of Yogi Chand, explains why these "transformative" U.F.O. encounters can and do occur.
As a teenager my favorite show was "Star trek." Captain Kirk took us where no one had been before. But it wasn't the alien planets he discovered that filled us with awe. It was the beliefs and perceptions that that show changed that was transformational. The first African American had a leading role on the show. Each episode introduced up to a new and more enlightened way to think. We witnessed the first person in a drama that was in a wheelchair. There is an old adage that goes like "change your perception, change your world." Our brain is very powerful. I can only imagine what scientists with discover in the next century.
