"MEDIA ALERT: Prophet Yahweh, Seer of Yahweh, will be calling down UFOs and spaceships for the news media to film and photograph. During this time, a spaceship will descend, on Prophet's signal, and sit in the skies over Las Vegas, Nevada for almost two days." Beats the earnings reports and photo opp alerts one usually finds on PRweb.
Link to press release. Apparently this began on June 1, so we're admittedly a bit late on the news. Sorry about that. (Thanks, Alex Kelly)
Update:
INTERGALASMIC HOAX ALERT: A warning for those of you who've been snorting too much Oxytocin — it's entirely possible that none of this is true.
Boing Boing reader Gridlock adds,
Through the wonders of security-through-obscurity, you can view a video of Prophet Yahweh summoning a UFO in his /video/ dir on his site. Have to say, I'm impressed – I wish I could make bouncy shiny things appear at will.

Reader Scott says,
I have been following this story since I first saw the television news footage of him supposedly summoning a UFO through prayer ( Link ). A bit of research has turned up a site called "A False Prophet" ( Link ), which has links to pictures of Prophet Yahweh holding up mylar weather balloons, which are commonly mistaken for more exotic UFOs. The pictures were taken in 1997, shortly before he came public about his "abilities." From his 1997 press release….
"The reason why I'm writing you is so I can introduce myself to you and because I'm trying to find people that will help me get a new camera. Because of how these UFO's and spaceships are appearing before me and allowing me to film them, I'm destined to be a wealthy man in the very near future. Maybe we can make money together on my research."
Additionally, a source suggested to me that Prophet Yahweh, aka Ramone Watkins, does not lead the life of humility and poverty that he sometimes claims. It appears that he currently has an income of $150,000 ( Link ) and owns a TV production company ( Link ).
