Extraterrestrials and UFO Files

I initially met Whitley at a UFO gathering in Manhattan in the 1980s - meeting off and on through the decades at similar events. Whitley's upstate alien experiences remind me that my family and I spent summers in the Catskill mountains when I was young - returning years later with my husband and children - then with fellow UFO investigators and friends in Pine Bush (the Hudson Valley) as it was a hotbed of UFO sightings. Like Whitley I was Taken, but only once and didn't have the traumatic experiences he shares in his book. There's something about our alien connections and the fact that we're the same age - both born during WWII - which officially ended September 2, 1945 months before the July 1947 Roswell UFO crash.
