I Believe!!Great job Molly! I absolutely believe these guys and wish I could tell them so. I remember seeing the Unsolved Mystery piece and wanting to get the book. As you recall, I was told at a local library that "We don't carry THOSE kinds of books". I felt a very small part of the rejection those guys surely have experienced since the incident.

AlRIGHT! You covered my story accurately, honestly, and with the sensitivity of a genuinely interested individual. I strongly believe that your presentation of the Allagash incident will help give people the "nudge" they need to give some more thought to the consequences and ramifications of human contact with intelligent extraterrestrial life forms. It's a "bridge" that Humanity will have to cross sooner or later. Education is the best and only way to prepare ourselves.
