	In my opinion, this great piece of writing should be framed
for posterity.  For all those singular people who have had some kind
of experiences with or because of something beyond our mundane world,
from the experiencers to the observers, that there was indeed
something that went bump in our otherwise ordinary lives.  How we
perceived what we experienced, how we told our tales, and how we
picked up our lives after those events, (or not), all says that
something  significant has happened.

	It doesn't matter that there are believers, non-believers and
so on.  The alien presence is certainly a factor above our miniscule
reach as a species.  They know exactly what is going on.  They do not
get fooled easily.  There will be the day when all of humanity will
have to reconcile itself for the history of deceit and denials in the
face of so many honestly motivated experiencers.

	I had all kinds of experiences that I can remember.  I did
this and that.  And, how ever you or anyone wants to make of it what
you will, that is up to you.  All I can say is that I tried to explain
to whomever would listen.  Nothing more, nothing less.

	Now I ask you, where do we go from here?  Must we just keep
digging until the rest of the world wakes up to our cry of 'BIMP'?
Then what?  Will the world change so much after the recognition of
true facts about everything?

Take care for now,
Cathy Johnson
