Was Elvis The Second Coming?

[Confused Ape]

I'm very interested in odd ideas and don't usually laugh at them but this had me

I'm guessing the following was just a hoax to sell copies of the book - at least I hope it's a hoax and the author didn't actually actually believe it.

Alien Rock, The Rock 'n' Roll Extraterrestrial Connection

The author claimed that it all began the night the King was born, Jan. 8, 1935, when a strange, unidentified blue light reportedly hovered in the night skies above Elvis' childhood home in Tupelo, Miss. 'The light was seen by the doctor who delivered him and by Elvis' father, who later told Elvis all about it,' alleged Luckman. Sound a little spacey?

Well, Elvis' faithful friend and hairdresser, Larry Geller, who styled his hair for more than 12 years, confirmed to AOL News that the story isn't all that far out. Geller explained that in the late 1960s, Elvis' father, Vernon Presley, relayed the tale of the UFOs at Elvis' birthplace to both Geller and the King.

'His father told us he'd gone out to have a cigarette at 2 A.M. during the
delivery and when he looked up into the skies above their little shack, he saw the strangest blue light. He knew right then and there that something special was happening,' said Geller.

But, back to Luckman. He believes those initial unidentified lights weren't the only incident involving Elvis and UFOs. Upon researching for his book, Luckman said he discovered that Elvis was supposedly 'contacted telepathically by two alien beings when he was 8 years old' who gave him a glimpse into his famous future.Luckman's story is that the extraterrestrials allegedly showed Elvis a hazy image of a man in a white jumpsuit singing to a crowd, but the young boy had no
idea what it all meant at the time.

Then there's all those sightings of Elvis over the years. Some people think they saw a living Elvis because he'd faked his own death while others think that Elvis really is dead and they saw his ghost.
