"Re: UFO sitings on the 13th"

I remember a few years ago, "The Amazing Randi", a 'mentalist' type guy who debunks 'mystics' in a Las Vegas show, 'predicted' that on a certain date, at a certain place, many people would SEE UFOs.

People were coming from all over the place to Vegas to be there.

That night, people stood outside of Vegas, away from the light pollution of that neon town. Everyone watching the skies. Suddenly, someone called out! "I see one!"...soon a chorus of voices went up and many 'saw' the lights. After the appointed time, people were told to meet back at the showroom where Randi does his show.

That's when he was supposedly to 'take a bow' for predicting correctly. Instead, he informed the duped crowd that there was NOTHING THERE. It was the power of suggestion. If you tell people they will see something, the majority WILL. Others, either consciously or unconsciously will chime in. It's like a mass hypnosis, mass hysteria...contagious delusion.

It was the perfect example of how things will go down in the 'great delusion' I think.
