Susan,

First, thanks for the hat-tip to my book.

The four foot tall owl in the road is something I've heard so often, and I agree with Quinn's assessment: "I don’t think it was an owl, but that is what my mind remembers."

As I read this, I reflected on the new Spielberg movie, where the main characters struggle with abduction memories. I thought about how Spielberg created the Shoah Foundation. After Schindler's List. Spielberg established the organization to preserve first-person testimonies from Holocaust survivors and witnesses.

Maybe he could do something similar with first-person Experiencer testimonies.

If something like this was created and well funded, here’s what I think might happen. The organization would be overloaded with more accounts than they anticipated—like, overwhelmingly more. And those stories would have plenty of similarities, but they would also be wide-ranging and complex. Researchers might want to try to make sense of the data, but coming to a “conclusion” about what's happening could be impossible.

Yet, the stories themselves would be important to collect, to archive, and most importantly—to share.

Peace,

Mike!!
