We don't want this thread to get sidetracked entirely into her attacks on you or Mahooty. I will say that he and his associations are problematic. He appears at many UFO conferences. Sometimes he gets portrayed falsely. They keep listing him as an elder when as far as I've seen he never makes that claim himself. He's a retired engineer. And of course he's Zuni, not Hopi, and whether the two are related depends on who you ask.
A few UFO types themselves at times border on being exploiters. But the majority are divided between sincere and frustrated they can't get the issue looked at seriously, and kooks who are the biggest reason it's hard for others to view them seriously.
Nathan, we've certainly disagreed quite a bit on FB. I had some big problems with your defense of the dangerous racist militias surrounding the Bundys, and unfriended you for that.
None of that excuses Delicado of course. At the time this thread began on her nearly a decade ago, I would've said she might be sincere but misguided, or perhaps had mental health issues. All the many sites she's on now, and books she's written say that money is her biggest, perhaps only motive. It's not spreading her unoriginal message "The aliens are here/coming, let's prepare/understand."
From reviews of her book.

As a person that has been there , the book was disappointing and misleading.I Fell VERY MISLED! on coast to coast AM , she led the listeners to believe she had been a prophet !about the blue star katchina anything she wrote about in this book you can Google it, so is that where her aliens are getting there info? Google? did she make a million off coast to coast am? I hope not!disappointing is this work taking from native Hopi people, shame on you!P,S I wasted 20 dollars on this crap!Thanks a lot

The much touted message never comes... and I found myself ANGRY with her by the end of the book... HOW could she have missed the coincidences to talk more with the Native American man... but she kept putting him off despite his best efforts!
Do I think she had an encounter? Yes. Do I think they gave her some message? Perhaps, even probably. Do I think she communicated that message? No. Her encounter was 15-20 years ago, do I think the details of their message are even relevant today? Probably not... but how is one supposed to know??? She never EXPLAINS the message, nor does she verify how they communicated it or that they appropriately update her since... that's all left so vague. How do we know this race of aliens even has an agenda that matters... She never tells us who they are or where they come from....
I have heard Ms Delicado say that she never reads or researches other people's contact stories so as to not dilute or confuse her own story... I think that is an excuse for being uneducated on the overall subject and a way to deflect any inability to comment on it. There is too much, 'I can't tell you' and bits of story in the book that go nowhere... she demonstrates more failure and missed opportunity than anything! And she chews out the wonderful aliens telling them not to interfere during what is basically a memorial service??!! C'mon!!! Doesn't she think the aliens who are wise enough to understand our race and be benevolent, loving and caring would be wise enough to figure that out??!!
...scolds the very aliens who contacted her ASSUMING they are going to be impolite. How much of a control issue does this lady have?!! Well, perhaps that is the true message they are trying to communicate through her... "Save yourselves, humans... you are the only ones that can." Or as Gandhi once said, "You must be the change you wish to see in the world."
That's the real message, isn't it, Miriam??? Too bad you couldn't let go enough to let anyone help you say that a little more plainly.

She claims both in the book and during her Coast to Coast radio interviews to have been abducted since the age 22, claims still to be abducted on a regular basis. The Tall Blond Aliens have told her sooo much, but, you know what? She does not remember most of it, or can't tell you yet, because you are either not ready, or it's not time yet, or may be later, if you are dumb enough to buy another book of hers, or waste your time listening to her on the radio. For example, after all those visitations, she cannot even tell you where they are from. What she does "remember" is warmed over Hopi prophecy that you can read on the Internet for free. So, boys and girls, I say keep your money...

Besides books she sells seminars, asks for donations, and makes many appearances. Her website is actually BlueStarProphecy.com. On it she claims to be working to preserve indigenous cultures. Then why have a site named after an obvious long ago debunked pseudo spiritual fraud? Blue Star is fraud Robt Morning Sky's claims, nothing even remotely traditional.
There's photos of her as a tourist with unnamed tribal people that's supposed to convince us of her good intentions. It doesn't. It's pandering to a white savior complex.
There's also something deeply creepy and racist with her whole claim of "great ancestors" that she repeatedly calls "the Tall Blonds." It's like a Hitler fantasy of all humanity descended from Aryans.
All of this is certainly enough to move her to Frauds.
