Having had three separate very real experiences of UFOs,
I am convinced that there must be a more advanced race
that operates these vehicles. Whether or not they come
from space is another thing. Some intelligence is operating them and it is not the Americans or Russians. who is it then?

Yes, there are wackos alright, we all know that, and similarly there are wacko government officials who will go
to any length to debunk UFO phenomena. The thing is, if you
have experienced one yourself, no amount of debunking will
change your view. Our scientific knowledge is expanding every day, who knows what might be discovered in future to
illustrate that anything seems to be possible?

I think intelligent people should have an open mind on the
subject, not blinkers!
