I agree 100%, these experiences ARE important. We may be splitting hairs on the reasons such experiences might be considered important. To reiterate a point I've made in the past, it is conceivable that a certain percentage of UFO encounters reports are indeed classic physical 3-D UFOs (alien craft) possibly performing "catch and release" programs on indigenous life forms. As you correctly point out we have compiled a tremendous amount of classic evidence such as in the form of radar targets, photos and videos. My "treatise" however attempts to focus on what I suspect is the bulk of alleged UFO encounters, the type that take the form for which I call the classic "UFO Abduction Paradigm". My conjecture is that, yes, indeed, they are real too, but not in the classic physical sense most are used to thinking what "real" means. > If claims about the general UFO phenomenon are based on a > real experience, then we can start to evaluate the details > to determine the nature of this reality.

For centuries? Hell! I bet such travellers have been visiting us probably for a LOT longer than that! ;-) -- Regards, Steven Vincnet Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
