“That night, while the hot dry wind blew like a Jovian tempest through ancient sandstone formations, I lay on my back in my tent, waiting to hear from the aliens, God, anybody...
"I didn’t receive an answer. No comment from the sky, the ground, other dimensions, nothing. Nada. So since the great Out There wasn’t communicating with me, I knew I had to take the initiative to talk to Him or Her or Them."
--Baba Ed
Baba Ed is the leader and patriarch of Offworld, the world's most popular space-based religion. He is something new: a guru of astrotheology. Offworld is headquartered at Andromeda Station, high on the slopes of California's White Mountain. The group worships UFOs and the universe, and believes that life on Earth came from the stars, via comets or meteors. At different points during mankind's history, extraterrestrial "interventions" have enhanced our evolution.
Offworld's most important ritual celebration is called Galactus and takes place during the Perseid meteor showers. UFO believers, abduction veterans, SETI supporters and astronomy buffs have donated heavily to Offworld over the years, and Baba Ed is using a large portion of those contributions to fund a top-secret project called "The Channel" which seeks to bring us into continual contact with our space brothers and sisters.
Oh yes, we should also mention that Baba Ed is a character in the science-fiction novel "The Big God Network," which can be found here:
