UFO sightings

Wed., July 1, 2020

Thank you for printing the page of documented UFO sightings in today’s (“UFOs Over Washington,” June 23) Spokesman-Review. I have personally witnessed a UFO and so have people I know. My only question is, why is knowledge of extraterrestrials being suppressed and by whom? Are they afraid it would have a disastrous effect on the world to know that we are not alone?

There are several good books and articles on the subject, including Whitley Streiber’s “Communion-A True Story.”
