Intriguing. Well, if it's a religious symbol how about this: Three fingers folded down and one pointing up might be a symbol of the Trinity - the three below being one in heaven? Hmm. But why so cryptic about a basic article of faith, and why stick a guy behind a tree? Seems more like an in-joke. And as for the character of indeterminate gender - was it not a tradition that angels, like many supramundane entities, were androgynous? Maybe (s)he has come down from that saucer of yours. ;-) Martin Listen to 'Strange Days... Indeed' - The PodCast See: http://www.virtuallystrange.net/ufo/sdi/program/subscribers/
