“Strange Days Indeed”
It’s the anniversary of John Lennon’s death. Few people know that in 1974, the former Beatle, his then-lover May Pang (he was separated from Yoko at the time), and many other New Yorkers watched a huge flying saucer hover for several minutes over the East River, near his apartment on 52nd Street.
Subsequently Lennon felt that acceptance of UFOs would lead to a revolution in the way people saw themselves, and a revolution in society.
Bryce Zabel has a nice article about Lennon’s amazing experience at the After Disclosure site.
