The Encounter
The person discussing the encounter is a former aerospace industry professional. His interest in UFOs began 23 years ago when he learned about a sighting by Max Stanley, a chief test pilot, and two observers during a flight from Albuquerque to Los Angeles. They observed an unexplained object for about 20 minutes. The person has never seen a UFO himself but trusts Stanley's account. He believes UFOs exhibit unique flight characteristics and propulsion methods that differ from known technology. He feels that serious scientific study of UFOs is necessary and valuable. The encounter has led him to advocate for more research into UFOs and their potential benefits.
