Sally: "No! Horrible! Except if I was called a liar. But otherwise, no."

Joan: "I figure it's a relief."

Whitley: "I would have gone insane if I thought it was my imagination. At first it was perfectly obvious to me, I was going crazy. I expected to just go around the bend. The realization that it wasn't my imagination, when they, came in such a way that I couldn't deny it, even if I wanted to —"

Joan: "Has everybody had an experience when they were five?"

(General agreement. Some said maybe four, or very young.)

Whitley (to Amy): "Any thoughts? Do you know what happened to you?"

Amy: "Yeah, I know. I want to say what Mary talked about. One time it seems real, and the next time it's not real."

Mary: "Every time I look at the pictures of my backyard, then it's real." (It was from her yard that Budd Hopkins obtained the sample of calcinated earth.) Amy: "Sally mentioned Betty Andreasson's book. I looked at a few pages and I couldn't read the book. I knew I would be terrified and I don't know why. I had this trouble feeling like — I have daughters — and I was afraid."

Tom (a college teacher who does UFO research but has not had an experience): "In a way I feel envious of everyone here because you've all had a glimpse into another world, another dimension perhaps. And in a way you've seen the future, if I could even say that, which may or may not be true, if I could even say that. You have seen what might, in fact, be coming eventually down the line. At least, there are people who believe that. And so, you all have a sort of special knowledge that very few other people have."

Sally: "The, question is, what kind of knowledge is it and what if we don't really want it?

And if you don't want it, then you refuse to accept it, and if you refuse to accept it, you don't have it, so it's sort of like this whole thing — it's like if you could see something inside of a ship and say 'Is that real?' because you've never seen it before. We're not really food witnesses. I mean, we have just little pieces of things. If we were just allowed to explore one of these ships, imagine the information we could get. But just with little innocent people being abducted, it's not enough. Even though it may be a glimpse. It's a fragment."

Whitley: "I don't think it'll ever come out completely into the public eye. And when it does, it won't be as intimate as these experiences. People will see it, you know, like something in the sky that everybody sees and it's there for four days, that kind of thing."

Sam: "At what level of belief are we? Do we all believe that we had single experiences and they're gone? Or do you believe they come back and forth type of thing Do you believe they're here all the time among us?"
