Al, my first thought,...

...when I saw your post, was covered by the reporter about midway through the piece you posted: "Green says he found reports in every state except Hawaii."

Al, I know you'll likely dismiss this immediately, but I once car-pooled with a co-worker locally, an "HR-type". After about six-months, when he got to know me and felt that I would probably not laugh at him, he told me, in confidence, about watching several shiny metal disks maneuvering overhead for many minutes when he lived in North Jersey. At the time, it was broad daylight, and he was in the company of a number of his fellow townspeople and several police officers, all staring at the spectacle. I've never seen one, but my 8-year old grandson claims to have. Never saw a bigfoot either, but I'd sure welcome the opportunity.

BTW, I remember you saying that you once took the Loch Ness Monster seriously. Dr. Henry Bauer has said in print that the most hardened skeptics re. Nessie, were once convinced that the creature was real.

As always, there's nothing wrong with honest, informed skepticism. Outright denial, as so often expressed on this board, is another matter entirely, and is why you folks fascinate me the way you do.
