poliphiloWe called them "Flying Saucers"- and cartoonists pictured their occupants as little green men with aerials coming out of the tops of the heads. I know where "flying saucers" comes from; it derives from the description Kenneth Arnold gave of a formation of shiny discs he saw flying past Mt Rainier in 1947. I don't know about the "little green men". So far as I know, no contactee or abductee ever used that phrase.
I was ten or younger and standing at the top of our hillside garden looking across to the woods on the other side of the valley when I saw a bright light, flying low and parallel to the tree line- and asked myself if it could be a saucer. It probably wasn't but who knows? That's the nearest I've come to a close encounter.
Down the years I've kept myself informed on the state of research. I nodded along when the Air Force said the thing that crashed at Roswell was a weather balloon and continued nodding when independent researchers said it couldn't have been. I read Jung on the symbolism of the saucer shape, Philip Corso on the back-engineering of tech retrieved from crash sites and John Mack on the abduction experience. I've watched lots of vids. Recently I've become aware that things are hotting up considerably- with people you wouldn't expect- like Barack Obama- saying UFOs- (or UAPs as we're supposed to call them now) are perfectly real, though unexplained- and have been visiting the Project Unity website to get back up to speed....
