[The Seeker King: A Spiritual Biography of Elvis Presley—some claim that Elvis believed he had the power to heal with touch and that he had a number of interesting UFO sightings. From a new Quest Book, the imprint of the Theosophical Publishing House. Who woulda thunk it?—chris]
As part of his spiritual training, Elvis liked to go outside in the middle of the night and spend hours watching the movement of the planets. He felt that there were waves of energy moving the planets through the universe and that with proper attunement they could be seen. One night he saw a UFO. He pointed it out to Sonny West, who at first thought it might be an airplane or helicopter. But the vehicle made no sound. They watched its approach through tree limbs as it passed over the house toward the front lawn. Elvis told Sonny to go get Jerry Schilling so he could see it, too. When the two came bounding out the front door, Elvis was nowhere to be seen. For a moment they worried that he had been abducted. Then they noticed him three doors away, staring toward the south, where the craft had disappeared.
Geller gave Elvis a book about the subject. A week later, just after he had finished reading it, Elvis and some of the group were driving through New Mexico on Route 66. They saw a bright disk streaking across the dark sky, descending. Suddenly it stopped and made a right-angle turn, accelerating until it disappeared from view. Elvis said, “That was definitely not a shooting star or a meteor. It was clearly something different.” Jerry Schilling commented, “We don’t make anything that moves like that.” Geller voiced what they were thinking, “That object maneuvered like a flying saucer.”
Still later, Elvis witnessed a UFO one evening at Graceland while in the company of his father. The eerie experience prompted Vernon to reminisce about the blue light he had seen the night Elvis was born in Tupelo…
