I did note that the question had a certain "Are you still beating your wife?" twang to it...lol. But it does not require a great leap of faith to accept that something curious happened to you. You're not selling a book, and you are not apparently starting a religion, so why not approach all this from a friendly, helpful position? It's not like school just let out, and this was your first post.

You didn't ask an honest question. Because both answers are the EXACT SAME.
It is intellectually dishonest to ask me if I'm lying or am I insane.
The third possibility is being ignored by you, on purpose, which is that maybe, just maybe, I am relating a factual account of a real life event to you here.
That is why you are intellectually dishonest.
Thanks for helping my cause.

I do applaud you for coming forward and sharing. Truly, I recognize the slights some are giving you. It is difficult to share such personal experiences in hopes that you may gain some insight from another or others.
I have no insight to offer you, but your story did make me feel not so alone. For that I thank you for sharing. I am continuing reading to see if anything is proffered that gives me insight into my own personal experience.

That's, noble of you. Sort of like me asking you simple questions akin to whether or not you had a dream or a day dream, or even as you said a case of Psychological Impairment or just pure fantasy.
Thanks for conveying that.
The distinction is clear. It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.

To post and share my experience because it was off the hook and worth sharing.

Try to see past their technology to the "people" behind it.
From your description they wanted to leave behind the impression of authority and power.
Know your place human!
What they didn't do was extend you an invitation as a courtesy and good manners. A choice.
Just my opinion here, but I reckon they wanted you, and others here at ATS, to get the impression that they are in charge.
Showing off with wizardry is still showing off . . .
1. When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
2. The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.
3. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
5) I'd almost want to say that they are manipulating and influencing all of our lives to a degree that we simply are not appreciating. Everyone's lives. Every day.

I, your friendly neighborhood Muzzleflash, WAS JUST ABDUCTED BY NORDICS!!!
Freaking CRAZY right??!!!
So I started puking right there, a little bit, and I'm thinking they had some way of cleaning it up immediately. It was like the floor was a big grate of some sort and it vacuum sucked the puke away. I guess?
