I can remember watching a TV show called That's Incredible that was on in the early 1980's. It was variety show that featured various guests each week demonstrating or talking about various types of strange phenomena. In one of the segments an old lady and her grandson were talking about a UFO sighting they had both witnessed. The child seemed too young to interview, but the grandmother said the sighting was something "personal" that she didn't want to explain. But they proceeded to hypnotize her.

She began re-enacting the experience and was talking to her grandson beside her. Near the end she said what sounded like, "Look Billy. There's Jesus inside." Then it ended. The host didn't question her further or mention the comment.

What do you as a believer think about this? Could it have been a valid sighting of Jesus?

Did Jesus look like this?

It could have been our own Hannibal...but not sure, cuz coulda been before his beard.
Besides everyone knows Jesus sightings only happen in the clouds and on South American toast.


EDIT!!!:....NO YOU DID NOT POST THAT AT THE SAME TIME I DID!!!!
Great minds, tho, eh?
The Great Toast Sighting of 1996, wasn't it? The year of the rye mold epidemic, I believe...

I wasn't trying to ridicule anyone. But since this lady was a true believer, I wanted to know what other believers thought about this.

There is no way to prove or disprove what she saw, it was a personal experience for her and the grandson, even if she saw Jesus, there is no way to know if it was really from God or some manufactured image aliens wanted her to see, to evoke a response...who knows?

Although what she saw cannot be proven, I tend to believe she saw 'something', after all, its now a proven FACT that advanced ETs have visited earth.

No, it is not a proven fact that advanced ET's have visited earth, and Jesus doesn't fly around in UFO's.

No proof of Earthly aliens

More than half of Americans (54 percent) believe intelligent life capable of communication exists among the stars, according to a 2015 survey by marketing research firm YouGov. Plenty of money and big minds have been put to the task of finding signs of E.T., with an entire institute called SETI devoted to just that.

"He's not the only Silicon Valley type, entrepreneur in the tech industry, that thinks we're being visited," Shostak said.

Even so, the solid evidence of these visitors is nonexistent. [Bolding mine]

Admittedly I am hardly a true believer. But I notice that the NT is mighty short on pictures, and does not describe what Jesus looked like. So how would this lady know Jesus if she saw him?
