Praise
"Anyone studying UFOs invariably hears countless stories from experiencers, all with their own unique perspectives. I cherish all of them. But I am especially struck by the clear sincerity and insight with which Blume writes. Those interested in contact with other intelligences will be drawn to the book for its subject matter; I suspect their true takeaway will be how Blume wrestles with the broader implications, which he tackles with a resonant poignancy."
"This book confronts the deepest of mysteries. It also tells a story. Within these pages is a man's struggle to make sense of the unknowable and how it transformed his life. Occurrence is told with remarkable clarity—the fear, turmoil, and awe of his experiences play out with profound creative power. UFO contact becomes a parable, a deeply personal challenge to face a lifetime of questions and memories. What emerges is a heartfelt testament of the human spirit."
"If you take reality for granted and need a good slap to the face to return you to your senses of awe and wonder, this is the book for you. "Occurrence - Dancing with Tricksters" is a sharp reminder that we must persist in our efforts to expand our perceptions and consciousness because there are vast dimensional experiences awaiting our awareness. I am grateful to have been able to share vicariously in the mind-bending visions of this work, told in sensational detail and delivering a world unveiled."

“A fascinating book that stretches the imagination and our understanding of what’s real. Some passages are frightening, others deeply comforting—and I am a better person from having read it.”
“The childhood encounters with otherworldly visitors are beautifully told, filled with innocence and vivid detail. His love of ‘the blimp,’ a near mishap with a new washing machine, and the endearing beings he described bring the story to life with warmth and wonder.”
