I doubt it. He claims to have seen human life on other planets while in an out of body experience; and his proof is that it also revealed the hugeness of the universe before Hubble photos did. Nutjob.

Actually the letter was written by another chap, David Fellin not by the coal guy.

Personally, I can't imagine why the earth is assumed by many to be the only place to harbor intelligent life, sounds like old-school theology to me.

He's claiming that human beings exist throughtout the universe; not just any intellegent life.

It hasn't yet been proved that there's intelligent life on Earth.

Putting the astral projection, or whatever he said he was doing aside, you could make a hypothesis that earth-like planets would have a good chance of producing intelligent primates as opposed to intelligent lizards, birds, etc. Its mostly conjecture, I know.
