True Experiencers Do Not Need Proof. I am One. How Many Reformed Skeptics are Out There?

TLDR: longtime scientist/skeptic’s life completely changed (not necessarily beneficial) by an experience w/the phenomenon. I am one. Are you?

I am a geologist & geophysicist with 4 decades of experience. I had always wondered about all of the UFO reports from seemingly credible people. These reports are worldwide and continue to go on today.

Why would someone who is very credible lie about experiencing UFO/UFO? Why deal with all the ridicule and mental health questions? The answer is because they know what they saw and it was real – not a hallucination, misapprehension, delusion or other MH issue.

I am one of them. I was a skeptic and bought into the FTL problem and all the other arrows in the skeptic’s quiver. I was a an over-educated reductionist/materialist/physicalist, scientist. I had it all figured out.

All that changed in July, 2005. I and my younger son had a profoundly disturbing experience that changed both of us. It changed my life completely with respect to many aspects of life and our understanding of it. FYI I do not discuss it in open forums like this bc I don’t need debunker’s bs.

How many of us are out there? I’ll Wager it’s a lot. Was your understanding about the circumstances we (earthlings) find ourselves in is NOT what you believed it to be?

I don’t know how any of it works but it’s clear that these objects/beings have figured out many things that we’re ignorant of.
