Thank you so much and consumateley understand the personal difficulties inherent.
Although having no such experience myself, I am familiar with this subject and like yourself, rarely speak about it.
I have, in the past, been contacted by a number of people and became cilose friends with one. He was a fellow Scotsman and tradesman from a town which has its roots as a former mining community. Your, 'average family man', his concern was that 'missing time and how the only disturbing recollection was - using a phrase I so distinctly remember - "being on the slab", operating table.
He had no interest in UFOs, merely asking if I might be able to offer some.... assistance?
How that unfolded, is naturally confidential, however, I can say it was a positive outcome.
Turning back to your own experience, there is something quite fundamental therein.
It's generally accepted the earliest account of a 'greys' depiction, or similar, occurred in the 'hypnotic regression' accounts of Barney and Betty Hill and relating to an incident from New Hampshire, America, during September, 1961.
Your own memories are therefore dated remarkably early, in this context.
Without going into details of your recollections, I wondered if you might please comment on whether you realised.
So you're 62 and I'm 63...
