My father had a cousin who was a WW2 combat pilot. After his WW2 service, he continued as an Air Force reserve officer, finally retiring in the late '60s. He was a kindly, jovial guy, who always had a twinkle in his eye.

Soon after he retired, he was visiting my folks and someone mentioned a recent UFO story in the news and scoffed at the idea of ETs existing, let alone visiting. My father's cousin lost the twinkle in his eye and got stone, cold serious. He said that he couldn't say much, but that we should not laugh so quickly at the UFO stories.

My father's cousin was a guy who was involved in much political lobbying, both in private business and in his service as a reserve military Officer. I don't know how well he was connected to the UFO stories or to what his point of reference may have been. But he was not of the tinfoil hat crowd nor did he have much time for hair brained conspiracy theories that traveled far about government cover-ups, etc. in that era.

That old guy's instant reaction to the subject of UFOs has me thinking there may be something to it.

Since I have had MANY such associations with people in positions to know--I have 0.000% trouble believing the truth of what your relatives said.

Thanks for a kind post.
