I don't know exactly what to believe, when it comes to UFOs, but I'm sure it's not always a hoax. There are very many inexplicable events that took place and many of them have been carefully covered by the governments of the respective countries, so it's kind of hard to believe they would go to such an extent if they were all just bad jokes or some people's crazy imagination.

I feel for his family; what a nightmare it must be for them to forever wonder what happened to him.<br /><br />I sure wish I could watch The Kettering Incident here in the U.S.<br /><br />I've never been much of a believer in UFOs and aliens, but lately I'm starting to wonder if perhaps I've been a bit hasty with my presuppositions. I've begun to think that here seem to be far too many similar incidents worldwide to discount such things out-of-hand. #ThingsThatMakeYouGoHmmm.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15257494820953469493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6754117460183392334.post-15540034737613848272016-07-25T07:44:32.313+10:002016-07-25T07:44:32.313+10:00It is a sad story though, particularly given how y...It is a sad story though, particularly given how young he was.
