Hi Ron & All,

To quote from the BBC article:

"In November 1989 a "completely terrified" woman contacted RAF Wattisham in Suffolk to report her close encounter with a man claiming to be an alien.

She said she met the fair-haired man with a Scandinavian-type accent as she walked her dog on a sports field.

He told her crop circles were caused by others like him who had travelled to Earth and that the purpose of his visit was friendly.

He then said he had spoken to her because he felt it was important to have contact with humans even though he was told not to."

Well, nowadays we all know that the crop-circles being of 'alien origin' has been 100% de-bunked and disproven so what does that do to the credibility of this account of an alleged encounter?

Later in the article a UFO expert says the most sensible thing I've heard attributed to a 'UFO expert', well ... ever:

"UFO expert Dr David Clarke said: "The vast majority of reports are ordinary things seen in extraordinary situations.

"So many things can be interpreted as unusual, you've got to eliminate all that noise and see what's left.

"I don't think there's any solid evidence that we have been visited by intelligent life but I don't think you can rule that out."

This expert is apparently in touch with reality.

I agree with him wholeheartedly. I can't absolutely rule it out either. If there are beings visiting us for whatever reason I think that's great and would love to have contact with them for mutual benefit, but there is a huge lack of credible evidence to support the so called UFO and alien phenomenon. Their case is clouded even further by the overwhelming preponderence of clearly non-credible evidence and 'crack-pottery'.


Best,
