jokes and disclaimers aside, LH..we DO understand what your senses and memory tell you that you saw those occasions. Yes, some of us still wonder and have our doubts, but NOT about your sincerity.

I sure would like to live long enough to be proved wrong, and I'd LOVE it if that proof were directly to me! Of course, like other issues skeptics puzzle over, there's no way to prove us 'right'. (Or rather, no way to prove that there are no AFOs)..It is theoretically possible that YOUR experiences were the only TRUE ones by any human...in any case, we still have thousands of people who say, "sure...I've seen those!" and millions who shrug and say "Not me!..." and I guess there it must remain until something changes.

You have said, LH..(yes, I was listening ..*grin*) that no 'proof' is required by most of those who have seen them and it really makes no difference when others wonder and speculate. I suppose if I had memories that clear, I'd say something similar, but I still suspect that the way my head works, I'd only say that I had a startling 'experience', with little judgement about what it actually represented.

We just are different...and that's ok...
