I have seen UFO's Barry. And have been fascinated by this topic since I was at least 5 years old (longer.. my family have crayon drawings I did of spacecraft and 'visitors' in kindergarden). My grandmother has been following this since the '50's.

I don't need you to disclose anything to me Barry. But I read all your posts with interest and respect (I'm watching).

There is a ton of valuable information to be gained from reading books..

Whoa, slow down, not aimed at you either, there are certain characters within these forums whom delight in trying to show how expert they are, when in fact they are just laymen like the majority of members here. I'm NOT knocking laymen, just pointing out a simple fact, a difference between those interested in these topics, then we have the experiencers, then we have those of us whom have devoted many years hands on research and investigation. In my case 43 years. These 'armchair experts' love to mire the waters and twist and turn words freely given by those facing hostilities yet coming forwards to open the eyes of many. Yes you can gain knowledge from books but limited knowledge. Insiders have had access to data you would never obtain if it were not from them. Data you will not find in mainstream books, hands on experience, not gleaned from a book. These troublesome ones I refer to know whom they are, casually stroll around the threads, you will find them.
