Our first close contact!

Not having been there I obviously can't have an opinion on what she saw.

However, Euphorla's post brings up the bigger subject of human's amazing ability to see and believe what they want.

To make statements such as 'it doesn't matter what you saw - it's what you believe' and demanding 'positivity' isn't going to really help anyone. Surely Theresa is smart enough to desire truth more than contact.

Ultimately she is responsible for what she believes and sometimes beliefs need to be tested against alternative hypotheses. That's healthy skepticism.
