I have been following your work since I was in Aberdeen, WA. I came to your meeting in Ocean Shores. I have had several sightings as well at the Hanford plant in 1952. I now live in Montana.It has been cloudy so I can’t do any sight seeing lately. I JUST KEEP TELLING YOU WHAT I SEE. I HAVE A GOOD CAMERA FOR PICTURES. I WAS VERY IMPRESSED WHEN I MET YOU. I HAVE HAD SIGHTINGS FOR YEARS. WHAT I TELL YOU IS ALL TRUE. I CAN GO BACK TO 1952. THANKS
