Joe Firmage, 28, multi-millionaire founder of the high-profile Internet
consulting firm USweb.com, resigned in January out of fear that the
company's reputation was being hurt by his public views that
extraterrestials are responsible for many high-tech inventions, such as
semiconductors and lasers.
According to his autobiography (posted on the Internet), Firmage was
visited by an extraterrestial in his bedroom in 1997, an experience that
has caused him to re-accept Jesus Christ after a childhood falling-out
with the Mormon church.
