| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It's not my first Rodeo...lol. I've seen 4 shooting Stars (Fireballs), 1 UFO when I was about 13 (circa 1965) with a Priest in St. John Chrysostom School Yard-Inglewood, California. He said don't mention until I was 60because no one would believe me...I'm 63... seemed like a good idea at the time. I went back to playing basketball and he went back to reading the Bible. |
