Not every one's life is wrecked but it cetrainly says that someone or, ah, something is messing with our minds - if not bodies. No I haven't met any aliens, nor have I been abducted. >>John replied: >>>It never ceases to amaze me how witness testimony (when it >>>relates to UFOs or UFO occupant sightings) can be dismissed or >>>minimized by declaring/insinuating/assuming that it is the >>>result of "some other condition." In ufology (for some reason) >>>all witness testimony is immediately considered suspect when it >>>is a UFO _occupant_ incident that is being reported. It must be >>>"something else" or some other "condition" as you so >>>indelicately phrase it. I agree, I can show in my logbook that I flew DC-6's & 7's, back it up with certificates and paystubs, but I defy you to prove that I actually flew a Corben 'Baby Ace'! The Ace was a 1930's vintage Homebilt aircraft. I never logged the time. I can tell you I did, but anyone who didn't witness the event(s) would say I was a liar - first of all what is a Corben Ace, anyway and why do I claim such an irrational event? (If you knew how badly the 'Ace' flew maybe irrational isn't out of the question.) <snipped with respect> >It's about an uphill fight to be taken seriously and at one's >word.

Not to me they don't >>So unless you have undeniable proof hidden away that has >>never been shared with this list, then you are also "being >>(subjectively) selective about what parts of any given testimony >>you give credence to." >I already have (my) "undeniable proof" Roger. I have no idea >what may constitute "undeniable proof" for you or anyone else. >That's why I wrote the following in my original: >>>I'm pretty much of a mind that the _only thing_ that is _ever_ >>>going to convince anyone is if they experience it/see it all for >>>themselves. You know this is very like the theory of Shrodnger's Cat-Observation's the thing if you don't observe it - it doesn't happen-right? >I cannot "arrange" for such an experience or "undeniable proof" >for anyone. Sorry. It just seems that we live in time when a >mans' word means less than nothing, (crying shame) and that it >is ok and proper to investigate or entertain just about any >explanation as long as it isn't the one that is actually being >reported. Yes, even if one could arrange such an event, I'm now so cynical that a Trafalmadorian scout ship on the White House Lawn wouldn't even get the front page: "Police ticket unruly Trafalmadorians of illegal parking." Then: "Trafalmadorians deported, vow to return." (With battle fleet or course, but we don't know it - or care,'don't worry be happy'.) >>After all, what other choice do any of us really have? All of >>us, including you, are just guessing. >Not so for "all of us" Roger.

I don't base any of my "beliefs" re: UFOs >and alien abduction solely on "what's important to me." It is >based on _direct_ life experience.

Hey, all I've had was a "In the sheet metal" experience, (and a couple of other experiences that were not quite that ah, vivid) but what I saw was _real_ not swamp gas of a helicopter sling loading earthlights, but somthing _real_ - sorry. >This has wandered far from the theme of the original thread >which was not my intention.

You have spoken well John, unless it happens to you personally, no one will ever undestand, and all the muddled thinking and opinions won't change what experiencers have see/done or (shudder) have had done to them. -GT McCoy
