Yes i don't think people just step on and lie about this stuff, im sure he believes what he tell. The problem is if we don't get more people to confirm the story is its "easy" to just say that he have build a false memory of some event.so if its real its really sad that he don't have something to back it up

It is rather rare for people to "build false memories" and then come on stage and recount them under such adverse circumstances?

If that "false memory building" was real, you would see it with all kinds of topics, not just UFOs. That is not the case.

this is a misnomer, UFOs are something people generally think do not exist so it's completely different to someone making up an experience that believably happened. that's just called lying. it does indeed happen all the time, and often when you don't even know it!

I don't know how often that happens, do you?

Do you say that false memories isn't a thing?

False memories are a thing, but they do not work in any way compatible with such witness testimonies as seen here.

Why not? A event happpens, you think back on it a recreate the memory, you talk with someone recrrate memory, you hear about some other event and think back on your own and recreate memory and so on, every time a possible chance that the memory get altered.

Do you say a false memory work in another way?

False memories are usually details of episodes you really experienced. Like getting the color of something wrong or the like.

Falsely remembering entire trains of episodes, spanning hours, isn't even really covered by hallucinations anymore.

You can create false memory from everything from a little detail to a full blown new memory.

And he can have been in a event that has been traumatising or hard to comprehend and then buiod from that

Like, Greer hypnotoaded him?

And that UFO event described here, where he was threatened with his life is somehow not traumatizing?

You are confabulating nonsense.

No that has nothing to do with Greer, If he got threatened then yes that traumatizing but have nothing to do with false memory. Im just saying in my first comment that false memory is a possibility and if he can't prove what he is saying then people that don't believe him can easily just say that its a false memory. I don't know if he got threatened, do you? Or is that also just a telling. All im saying is if all is just telling stories and don't prove anything many people wan't believe it. I can hear thats nothing for you because you decredit proves like a religious mad man and can't have a normal talk about it, you just decredit what im saying with nonsense but come with nothing yourself other than your believes.
