"Even as their goals remain opaque, the result is clear as can be: The transformation of Chris Bledsoe, a humble North Carolina businessman, into a prophet of a nascent UFO religion brimming with esoteric symbolism."
Random observation, perhaps already made by others, but it's new to me:
Chris(topher) Bledsoe >> Christ Bled So
And he's a carpenter.
What are the odds that this would be the name/profession of this newest of prophets, and with the heavy Catholic bent (Pasulka, Vatican Archives, Pope assassination warning, etc.) Just find it interesting.
More and more, I see this as a Bennewitz 2.0/3.0/4.0 type of operation, except this time it ensnares an entire family that seems very genuine. The seeming manipulation of their sincerity is very troubling, but it makes sense pragmatically.
Superb article long overdue.
