For some of this you will have to take my word for things as I have not posted on some of it at this site. As a kid I got really involved with the greys in the base that was only a short walk from my home. I was made part of a team of 4 boys my age who were trained by a human like man named John in the base. One boy lived along the north side of the hill on Atherton ave. At a meeting he said he had set up a night time football rally for the local high school at the foot of the hill where the base was located and that the high school kids could be easily taken in the dark. i was out raged and jumping up I told him I would stop him. John laughed and said how can you do that with your BB gun pointing to the BB gun I always carried at that age. Later my father took me to the north side of the hill where they were cutting some large trees for the bon fire at the rally. the heavier logs were free fire wood for anyone to take. While trimming the logs of limbs the above boy showed up. He clearly recalled the meeting in the base which I did not recall at all at the time it was blocked in my memory. He started teasing me that I could not stop the rally etc. Finally I punched him in the mouth and we fought until separated. the owner of the land was a wallace berry type rancher and I stopped to ask him if I could hike his land some time. He changed to like a small scared boy saying >Oh no. there is a bunch of space aliens living up there and they would not like that" having said that the man gave a start and then turned away and left rapidly. At the time I thought he had lost his mind. What space aliens? I heard him say that his wife thought he had lost his mind letting the boy above hold the bon fire and then giving him the huge old trees to cut down. he also said that his cattle would not graze on the hillside but huddled in a far corner of the pasture refusing to move from there. The cattle knew. the nighr rally was held and some boys who had been lured into the dark by lewed acting girls came running out of the dark saying space men ahd tried to capture them. They were laughed at and not believed according planned spin control for just such a thing happening. I am sure that the night rally is in the old high scholl year book for that year about 1957. I never did like the boy above but he had full knowledge of the base all the time while I did not. BP who has become a cop was a boy in the team the other being a boy who never said a word that I know off but always came in a brown suit and tie. Very formal. I came in levis and flannel shirts. I did not fear them and would talk back
