I read about it in Fate.

Sounds nutty, but that's the field we're discussing.

I don't understand why the subject is forbidden here. Too much clowning or what?

Wonder why, according to the link you posted, it would identify itself as a "flying saucer", wouldn't that be a very primitive, almost comical and absurd term for such an advanced life form? Or maybe it is talking in lingo the caller can identify?
Why would it choose children and single mothers in Indiana?
Why wouldn't it call political figures or even Presidents?

The story makes it sound like the little persons were singling out Sarfatti for some special teaching, and now he's Mr. Big Physics Guy.

The reason they'd say they were from "flying saucers" is that the little bastards pretend to be whatever we'll think they are. They use our frames of reference.

Either that or they were human crank callers. Lame.
