Quote (Stu @ Feb. 27 2010,08:59)It is unreasonable to assert that you have come into contact with them when you cannot show with any conviction that you actually have.  Especially when there are much simpler explanations for the experience you attribute to ETs, which there usually are.When you hear the sound of hooves in the night, why think of…[Read more]
