I was a member of MUFON for many years and attended a lot of their annual conferences. They are a real eye opener when you can separate the wheat from the chaff. There's a lot of serious researchers with a lot of credentials that could talk circles around this bunch. I had lunch with George Knapp once who helped to bring Bob Lazar out into the public eye and he hung around John Lear as well. Their tales are impressive at Area 51. I've even got a couple letters from John Lear.

There are so many serious case reports to chose from, you can get lost in it all and learn lots of important information from trace cases and eyewitness accounts yet you have no real framework in which to put it.
I happen to believe we live in a physical dimension that can be accessed by all manner of phenomena from other dimensions. you can study and study and never get an answer. There's just clues and more clues. I gave up on it, but it's still a fascinating study.

We also know they are benevolent guardians, evil reptilians, harvesters of souls or genetic materials, angels from heaven, demons from hell, or maybe androids dispatched by incomprehensible super-beings. It’s a proven fact that they are here to help us, teach us, or eat us, or mate with us, or mess with our heads, or save their own species while they carve up our livestock, doodle in our wheat fields, and befuddle our most sophisticated technology.”
