I updated my list of LDS blog aggregators with a couple of Mormon Mommy blog link-lists and ran some Alexa numbers. I was shocked to discover that the top aggregator was not what I had expected. Check it out for yourself.
Mormon visitors from outer space
Intelligent beings from other planets have been visiting the earth for many thousands of years. They have been communicating with us in their own way but we haven't been tuned in to the right frequency or channels to hear.
