Yes or no: Do you believe that Gordon Cooper lied in his autobiography?
I have no question that a lot of people who’ve had so-called alien encounters actually believe them to be true. In that case, I would not call them liars.

I think he believes what he says.
That does not make it examinable evidence however.
Some people even believe they have been abducted.
I do not think they are lying, simply that is what they think happens to them.
