Over the years, loads of people have come forward claiming to have had conscious and friendly interactions with extraterrestrials.
It's a fascinating field of research where people like Wendelle Stevens and Bill Hamilton did some sterling work.
Many cases have been debunked, but in my opinion in many of those cases the baby ended up being thrown out with the bath water.
At the same time, I also believe that some of the contactees shot themselves in the foot by fabricating extra material (stories, photos, ...) when they were faced with an ever increasing demand for information. Where the case started off as genuine, they thus ended up discrediting themselves.
Anyway, this thread is dedicated to contactee cases.
