Dr. Eben Alexander, who teaches neuroscience at Harvard contracted a rare form of bacterial meningitis in 2008, and fell into a coma. His neocortex became totally inactive, a state many would consider "dead".

He came out of the coma after seven days and began describing an "other worldly experience".

"I was in a place of clouds. Big, puffy, pink-white ones that showed up sharply against the deep blue-black sky," he wrote in an article for Newsweek.

He also goes on to describe "flocks of transparent, shimmering beings arced across the sky, leaving long, streamer-like lines behind them".
