9. I saw the LA one on TV

But the DC one I saw in the papers the day after it happened. I was 13 or so, and was very absorbed in ufos. I saw the original statement made by the CO about the Roswell crash that the craft was of something not earthly, and it was retracted the next day. I saw the original newspapers that they now show on tv all the time.

I remember Mantel, some people who were abducted, all kinds of stuff. The Denver one - I was in MIRC in the "ufo" or something chat-room in '95 or '96, and a fellow there posted that his parents lived in Denver and were watching a gigantic thing pass slowly over their house and they were so excited. The next day it was all over the news and tv..

Was at the doctor's on Monday, and to be there I had to leave home and a UFO program on History2, and since they have a tv in the waiting room, and everyone was staring into space trying to avoid some Fox program, I said that the secretary should put on History2 because it was more interesting. Pointed out that I am not a real believer, but enjoy following the coverage. Then, the other 3 people waiting spoke up. One had a brother who was a cop and had seen them in the sky from a rooftop, another had seen one, and a lady who didn't look like the ufo type (whatever that is) spoke up and said that she earnestly believes the ufo stories.

I had to leave, so I don't know whether they changed the tv or not. People won't speak up because they are afraid of being laughed at.
