Glenn:
Obviously, he wouldn't have been lying if had reported such a thing, or told someone about it. He swore it was a UFO.
I don't mean to speak for Skin here, but didn't he just do that? Did he not just say what it really was? His account remains the same, yet the explanation is different, and more importantly, correct.
Nobody seems to realize that to scream "UFO" is easy. Skin saw a Harrier jet, and would have sworn on a bible (I'm assuming) that it was a UFO. Because he had the privilage of watching a Harrier jet in person (of course, I'm assuming) he finally realized that what he saw was not, in fact, a UFO. How many people get the chance to see a Harrier jet in person? I haven't.
People aren't always lying when the claim a UFO experience, be it abduction or sighting. It's the difference between knowledge and a glaring lack thereof that seperates the UFO believer and the nonbeliever.
How about the mass UFO sighting at the solar eclipse in Mexico in 1991? I saw a special on History channel on that one yesterday, and it made me laugh out loud, because the whole f'n nation thought it was a UFO, yet out of the hundreds of professional astrologers and astronomers who brought their high-powered telescopes to the event saw absolutely nothing out of the ordinary!
That is proof positive that ignorance regarding certain things like a planet coming into plain view during a full solar eclipse would lead thousands of people across a nation to believe they saw a UFO, when in fact they did not.
Regarding abductions, the same applies. Certain things can attribute (may attribute) to having an abduction-like dream or experience, and science has proven that it is possible. But the people who experience it don't know that, and they believe what they saw.
Sometimes people BS about this stuff, adn that's a fact. But that doesn't mean that the people who aren't lying are really being abducted.

1) Did you ever knowingly lie about what you saw?
Obviously, he wouldn't have been lying if had reported such a thing, or told someone about it. He swore it was a UFO.
2) Did you correct your account upon discovery of an earthly explanation?
