I think it matters. It matters to people who come here to share an experience they have had with people who will listen with an open mind and not ridicule them, call them liars/hoaxers, tell them they are hallucinating, on drugs, or crazy. Those folks don't come here for proof. They don't need proof. They need to discuss their experience with others who understand and can help them make sense of it. This is not a research forum. Yes, tough questions are asked, even by me sometimes, as they should be. But some witnesses know what they saw without a doubt in their minds. They don't need me, you, or anyone else to tell them what it was or wasn't. They just need to talk about it.
