OK, UFOs -- Do Something! Now this is taking my suggestion to the extreme... The reports keep coming in. Some are hoaxes, some are misidentifications, some are delusions. What remains are unexplainable incidents. A person sees a strange light in the night sky performing maneuvers beyond the capability of any terrestrial vehicle.

Alternative Title For New Age Film: Death of Innocence Profile photo from Birth Of Innocence Facebook page. "BIRTH OF INNOCENCE is a feature-length narrated film by Mac Parker about the power in every single one of us, waiting to be brought into our lives through our innocence..." -- Facebook page for BOI [ http://www.facebook.com/pages/Birth-of-Innocence/115493931813189 ] "For most of my adult life, I have been an ambassador for Vermont through my stories, my writing, and my films... Birth of Innocence is my most ambitious project yet, and my hope is that it too will reflect beautifully on our state and our people. How ironic that an agency of this state I love so much is now spending taxpayers’ money trying to prove that I’m a bad guy." -- Mac Parker, quoted from his written statement, article "State Files New Charges Against Filmmaker Mac Parker" by Shay Totton, Seven Days reporter, April 23, 2010 [ http://7d.blogs.com/blurt/2010/04/state-files-ne
