The Receptor Planet

Ron Barr was an ordinary guy, living a mundane and ordinary life – he was happy with that life and expected, nor wanted, any more from his existence. He had a loving wife, and two beautiful children, they were the very apple of his eye.

That all changed one night in Bonita Springs, Florida. Ron was (kidnapped) swept away to another world – a place he called the RECEPTOR planet. What he found and experienced there changed his life forever.

I am but the lowly chronicler of these events – nothing more. I would like to say what I have written is a masterpiece, but no – it is not

I have never been one to totally believe the stories I have heard and read through the years concerning UFO's, sightings and abductions. Of course, I was never one to discount them either. I guess, you could best describe me as indifferent to the universal question.

I always considered it small-minded of the inhabitants of our world, to believe in an almighty power, one who is capable of creating the universe; yet limited in his capacity to create life on only ONE of the millions of planets.

If he IS omnipotent, then surely he has the power to create many inhabited worlds, throughout the infinity of the heavens. Perhaps they are similar to us, perhaps not. Whether there would be any intergalactic contact permitted between these domains I do not pretend to know.

As you can see, I have given these possibilities much thought and consideration. So, in conclusion, I like to think that I was, as most of you are; a doubter, but not a disbeliever.

I scoffed at many reports, taking most stories with tongue in cheek and raised eyebrows. Every once in a while, I would seriously consider the possibilities of the existence of alien life, not necessarily little green men, or tiny little creatures with bulging eyes and large heads, but alien inhabitants of other worlds.

Now with this dissertation complete and your understanding that I am not, nor was I then, a dedicated follower or a crazed UFO enthusiast, I tell you my story, such as it is, beginning to end, the mundane, coupled with the remarkable, leaving nothing out.

Sit back, relax, read this narration, such as it is, and consider this; what if you do have a counterpart, on another planet? He or she, looks, acts, speaks and is a true replica of you in every sense. Think a moment about that, what if?

I tell you, it still unnerves me...
