The Uniqueness of the UFO Culture
UFO culture is based on personal experience, and not just believing something that you've read. Gary Nolan had when he was a child, he had like small beings visit him in his bedroom. And even later than that, as a young man, he had an experience with some kind of entity talking to him in a hotel room. So if you have someone who has a deep personal experience that they think was very significant to them, it really makes a huge difference in how they interpret these ideas.
