I'm not puzzled, just slightly intimidated.

If that's the intention of the mudslinging, it has succeeded. I
resent being "lectured to" by the likes of such people. Their
rantings and ravings come across as character flaws, not
scientific debate. I came here to learn, to understand better,
and it does become increasingly difficult to refrain from
hitting the "delete" key automatically.

I certainly question the explanations given from people who seem
to need psychiatric evaluation more than myself. And, since I am
one of several thousand individuals from around the world who
are now classified as "abductees" and "experiencers," and whose
mental stability is _always_ in question, not only from those
who think they have all the answers in both camps, but those who
clearly have none of the answers and are just trying to make a
buck, I would like to get back on track.

So, here's a question that you can latch onto, if you like. How
many of you believe that in 1954 a child of 9 would be capable
of "making up" _all_ of the nitty-gritty details we have been
discussing with regard to The Roswell Incident?

That should be some interesting questions to the fore. Let's
talk.
