No bible swearing necessary for me. First, you are an excellent writer, an "artistic" wordsmith. Secondly, I've been there, with five encounters of the "first kind", and two of those revealed possible telepathic communication which would take them to somewhere between first and second kind sightings. I lived in Dallas for 65 years, only recently having moved to Bryan and Rockport. I am very familiar with the areas you describe. I feel a kinship.
