Description

A clear example of how stigma has surrounded the UFO subject from the beginning.

'My dad - I just went, wow, what did we see? I'm just looking at him, I'm up on my feet and he says "You saw nothing."

He totally broke down that "you'll be a nut, our family name will be ruined in town, we're known as good family, you didn't see nothing. You don't say nothing to your family, your mother, anybody and you have to promise me."

So I just sat there absolutely amazed that we just saw something that I - you maybe read about. And my dad's telling me that you saw nothing.

I never said a word to anybody, my family, it was a promise, it was - uh, you actually felt like maybe you had not seen anything because your dad who you trust as a youngster says you didn't see anything. It's done.

You know, I don't remember a lot about it because we were told not to, we were told flat, my dad said don't. Forget it.

Just weird, I've never done anything about this and like I said, I've only told one friend in my family but there's an article that someone talked to someone over there, one of you gentlemen and I saw that, and I thought, man.

You know, I don't want to be in the paper, I don't want to be anything, but if I could just talk to someone and just get it off my chest and let someone know that I saw something.'
