Quote1 They didn't believe me! Nobody will believe me! People want some sort of proof I suppose--and someday that proof will materialize! Someday those creatures up there will realize that we're not all savages-- that we deserve their trust-- They will come again-- to stay-- and talk about the wonders among the stars... until that day-- I must wait and watch-- and live with the secret of the flying saucers! Quote2
—Unnamed Ufologist (thinking to himself)
