" "Над масата, на която дрънчеше телефаксът, висеше огледало. В него тя видя една жена, нито млада, нито стара. Нито майка, нито дъщеря. Бяха прави да й спестят истината. Не беше достатъчно напреднала, за да получи сигнала, да го разчете. Бе прекарала цялата си кариера в усилие да осъществи контакт с най-отдалечените и чужди странници, докато в собствения си живот едва ли бе осъществила контакт с когото и да било. С ярост бе отхвърляла митовете на другите за сътворението, сляпа пред лъжата за нейното собствено. Беше проучвала вселената през целия си живот, а бе пропуснала най-ясното послание: за малки същества като нас огромното пространство е поносимо само чрез обичта.
Carl Edward Sagan (9 November 1934 – 20 December 1996) was an American astronomer, planetary scientist, cosmologist, astrophysicist, astrobiologist, author, and science communicator. His best known scientific contribution is research on extraterrestrial life, including experimental demonstration of the production of amino acids from basic chemicals by radiation. Sagan assembled the first physical messages sent into space, the Pioneer plaque and the Voyager Golden Record, universal messages that could potentially be understood by any extraterrestrial intelligence that might find them. Sagan argued the hypothesis, accepted since, that the high surface temperatures of Venus can be attributed to, and calculated using, the greenhouse effect. He testified to the US Congress in 1985 that the greenhouse effect will change the earth's climate system.

Some UFOlogists consider it a telling point that women who claim to have been sexually inactive wind up pregnant, and attribute their state to alien impregnation. A goodly number appear to be teenagers. Taking their stories at face value is not the only option available to the serious investigator. Surely we can understand why, in the anguish of an unwanted pregnancy, a teenager living in a society flooded with accounts of alien visitation might invent such a story. Here, too, there are possible religious antecedents.
