To a lot of people when you mention UFOs they form a mental block.

People deserve more than other UFO sightings. However, after many years when they retire or in this. failing health, some of these witnesses have come forward and told about their personal experiences. I know of a similar UFU.Sighting that occurred over Cleve\and Hopkins EXAMINER, lndepend~nce, MO - Dec. 20, 2006 Airport. Several years ago two witnesses, employees at the nearby NASA Seeing UFOs can happen Lewis Center, saw a disc-shaped craft hover some 50 feet above them. The one witness described it to me in detail, as it was also a daylight sighting. I recently had a person tell me that he prides himself on being a scien tific skeptic. But with the different television programs about UFOs, like the History Channel, shows he has begun to wonder. I would welcome a more than once in a lifetime debate with anyone on this subject I try to stick with facts and only the facts. It is very easy to speculate. Some witnesses to a UFO sighting will shrug their shoulders and say so what, because they can't do anything about it Others, like myself, try to find out more about the mysterious phenomenon.
