The world abounds with Paranormal and Alien encounters that defy reality and cross over into the realm of high strangeness, of which there have been many attempts to explain these mind-bending phenomena but still no one has the answers.

It involves the ancient eastern concept of "oneness" recognized by our forefathers, long before the arcane physics of quantum mechanics demonstrated it's reality. Let us explore the Book of Secrets and face who the aliens are, where they come from and why they are here.
