He never breathed a word of it to a soul. He was outside working in the yard when he saw it. He shouted to my cousin - his wife - "Come outside a minute hon. How much should the Ph be in the pool... oh, and WHAT'S THAT?" as he pointed to the UFO in the sky.
They both saw it.
His son told me and we later discussed it. Other family members have also seen them.
My sister swore she was abducted as a child - got ridiculed heavily by all and sundry and never spoke of it again. My brother saw a UFO in our neighborhood as did I.
But of course, we are all crazy, so don't talk about it so as not to tip off our friends, family, neighbors and co-workers.
Hazardous to your livelihood you know...
I have been interested in this topic for a long time. I took my wife to a UFO convention in Laughlin a couple of years ago.
She is _very_ skeptical, so I made sure to let her meet several different folks who claimed they had been abducted.
They told their stories, and she was totally stunned. These folks had no axe to grind, were just telling the truth as best they knew it.
I always trust first-hand accounts, where you can look the person straight in the eye, much more than the opinions of folks who were not there.
