Yes, that's a pretty interesting th...Hi Martha,<br />Yes, that's a pretty interesting thought but my own interpretation (with no scientific understanding whatsoever) is that it could also have been an example of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interdimensional_being" rel="nofollow">interdimensional</a> bilocation - as in the many worlds interpretation of string theory. Then again <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brane" rel="nofollow">brane</a> theory is also related to super-gravity, something that may include Einstein's 'spooky action at a distance. We may not be well equipped to discuss such things but there's no doubt that thinking about our place in the greater reality of the universe is satisfying.<br /><br />Don't you agree?<br />susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-84395441034519038892016-05-09T17:55:13.653-07:002016-05-09T17:55:13.653-07:00Similar thing happened to me.

This one I found on <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1593_transported_soldier_legend" rel="nofollow">wikipedia</a>. Another very interesting case was reported in Tokyo in 1954 when a businessman arrived at the airport and handed the officials a passport from a non-existent country called <a href="http://deletedwikipedia.gawker-labs.com/wiki/Taured_mystery" rel="nofollow">Taured</a>. He was held overnight in a guarded hotel room while the authorities investigated his other documents (also from Taured) and his story. The next morning he and all his possessions (including the documents) were gone.<br /><br />I'm glad you like the picture. Drawing things that are a little strange is a delight for me. I feel I've been neglecting color too much recently. :)<br /><br />susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-50772009720460681612016-05-08T20:07:12.444-07:002016-05-08T20:07:12.444-07:00Hi Susan,

Understand I'm not doubting you, I'm just a curious retired academic. <br />Great colors in the watercolor....the woman has a faint Southwest air to her, and I don't know what to make of the cat in the man's holster. <br />One wonders about Gil's story....perhaps a reference back to the movie "Close Encounters" maybe. There have been several encounters over the years, too many to dismiss out of hand. Who knows. <br />As always, enjoy your work, Susan. <br />Cheers,<br />MikeShould Fish Morehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13038376492887695725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8764563741359701027.post-43708481486771126172016-05-08T18:00:53.957-07:002016-05-08T18:00:53.957-07:00Hopefully he went home the normal way.
