Subject: RE: BS: Hey skeptics, UFOs over NYC today
Thanks for the report, kendall. I have heard dozens of personal testimonials by now from people I knew and knew I could trust. Among them were both civil and military aviation pilots. They all saw things in the sky or near the ground that were completely unexplainable in terms we are familiar with, and that appeared to be alien vehicles of some kind. So did I in the late 60s. I have no reason to doubt any of those people or to be skeptical of what they told me.

People who think they do have reason to doubt those testimonials are people clinging to a personal faith (of a negative sort) that rivals the faith of the most fundamentalist religious fanatic. They don't WANT it to be so....therefore they believe it must not be so. That is the negative faith they stand upon. They will talk till they're blue in the face about how it can't be so for no other reason than that that's the way they want it. They have no personal experience to go on, but feel free to ridicule and explain away the experiences of others. That is what you must contend with if you've had a sighting, and you dare to talk openly about it...specially if you're a public figure like a politician. Ridicule is used to keep such people quiet.
