“It’s interesting how the further away from the event, more and more people tell more and more vivid versions of the story.”

That’s certainly a danger. There’s no doubt in my mind that jesseam is sincere, and rather credible. I do have doubt whether memory is reliable when the account is first written down 40 years or so after the event. We do know that people have been wrongfully convicted due to faulty eyewitness testimony days after an event.

It seems to me that if Anne Frank could keep a diary with the NAZIs breathing down her neck, one of the eyewitnesses at Roswell might have made a written record of these miraculous events in 1947, if that’s the way they perceived them in 1947.

Anyway, I’m still going to read a couple of books on this subject before deciding what to think. There is much to ponder here.

Glad you realize there’s much to ponder.

Lots of things are not as they seem.

Many are set to get a LOT stranger soonish.
