3. A man who is mentally ill and who believes his hallucinations.

I'll give it a #3.

I watched about the first half before giving up in disgust. First off, I knew something was wrong at about 3 minutes in when he spoke of getting a "White House Q Clearance." There's no such thing. I worked in the White House for six years. I was one of a very few Secret Service agents who had a "Q" clearance, which was issued by the Atomic Energy Commission for access to certain AEC facilities and information. It has nothing to do with the White House.

Then further in this guy claims that Eisenhower had him in to the Oval Office where Eisenhower directed him to go to Area 51 and threaten them with invasion by the First Army if they did not cooperate. (Lifted from the movie Seven Days in May.)

But, I quit watching when the guy claimed that he got into Area 51 and found the storage area where the individual units had garage doors that opened to disclose "a variety of space ships" to include the one from the Roswell Crash.

Sorry, I have better things to occupy my mind.

What about Gordon Cooper's testimony? Is he lying too?

There are those who will believe this and other that will not. I do not think you will change anyone's mind.

I do not feel any danger, or a need to do something if it were true. Why is it important to convince others of your beliefs?

I'm only pointing out things that very few are aware of. It's just a very interesting subject. The two greatest mysteries are: 1/ What happens after we die? 2/ Are we alone? How can anyone not be interested in these two subjects?

Obviously I'm guessing, but I think most people avoid these subjects for three reasons...
Some people genuinely have no interest in the topic. That's hard for people who have a genuine interest to understand.
I think that many people avoid these topics due to religious training.
And perhaps because it's speculation rather than fact.

Mr. Lottoguy.

If it were true it doesn't appear to change anything about our daily lives. Your belief doesn't harm anyone. Most of us are worried about other things.
