Presenting a modest down to earth philosophical point of departure for boundless allegorical interpretation of the self-evident global reality of unexplained sightings in the skies, in the waters and on the land and by inference mysterious entities of unknown origins, whereabouts, capabilities, inabilities, motivations and intentions. We have as such simply no way of saying or describing exactly what they are other than that they are in some way of the category of living beings like ourselves; like all things living on this planet: except they are not. They are beyond this planet's categories of being; of existence and as such do not lend themselves in any way to our traditional hand-me-down terrestrial definitions. In the lockdown year of 2021, a certain Rabbi Moshe ben Avraham came and put this question to the legendary Irish nuptial recluse Intinn Mhór: What if the Exodus never took place; that never was there a forty-years of wandering in the Sinai desert or an entering and taking over of the Land of Canaan? An Imam Muhammad of Makkah al-Mukarramah asked him how the people of Ireland might be more effectively introduced to true Islam. A Roman Catholic priest setting out on missionary work to of all places the People's Republic of China wished to receive from him some pearls of wisdom. An unknown woman who being quite enamoured of him wanted to know how he fasts his mind from thinking about his wife's body: thinking about passionately making love with her. These are some of the many intriguing questions and concerns addressed in this refreshingly fertile work. Amazed you will be by the depth of discernment found in the answers. For instance, Intinn Mhór gives the following answer to a Chief Medical Advisor who is imploring him to have himself inoculated against a certain disease: . . . I cannot ask my body to take a substance that is only winging it: masquerading itself as a vaccine. And of all things, I don't wish to be treated as a test case for opportunistic pharmaceutical companies . . . What is being peddled out there around the world is nothing short of a crime against humanity where national and international codes of ethics are being cast wholesale to oblivion . . . Also featured are 32 pages of original digital illustrations done by the author - illustrations suggestive of unidentified aerial phenomena in daytime skies.
