NOTE
A Flying Saucer Will Deliver an Important Message,
2020 from Counter Culture Rising.
Documentary photograph by Yves Salmon, Croydon UK, January 2020, embellished by the artist. The hippy counter culture was often associated with UFO phenomena: hippies living psychedelically tended to see all kinds of things in the sky. The idea was prevalent in the 1950s and 60s that aliens would visit earth with dire warnings about man's reckless atomic testing or degradation of the environment. Alien wisdom would ultimately lead to a raising of human consciousness that would save the planet. Or the aliens would simply destroy humanity to protect the earth.
