Great review and insight, but I had the feeling your article ended too quickly. You seem to have an insight I've not heard from Terry or others, and would like very much to hear more of your thoughts about this wonderful (and traumatic) adventure. Your concept of manipulation is excellent, on point, and deserves more attention. Incidentally, I've had five sightings of the first kind, except two of them revealed awareness of our presence, the last one implying telepathic contact. That is speculative, but seems to carry those two experiences a bit past Encounters of the First kind.
