When I was in the Air Force, the base would get calls form citizens to report UFOs. Instead of going to the Public Affairs people. They would send it to Intel - at one time our colonel had P*ss off the operators, I guess. he would give it to me the FNG. In 2 years I guess I got 6-7 calls. I always listend politley and pointed out that the USAF no longer does investigations into UFO. But to call MUFON. They do that.
I felt that the callers honestly had something they felt improtant enough to risk riddicule to let someone know what they saw. I figured they felt they were doing their civic duty, and I treated them with respect.
Congrats for being a reasonable responsible human being toward fellow patriotic citizens.
Better be careful about that now. Might get you on a watch list.
