Holly"s aftermath was similar yet also very different; Holly experienced a dramatic reminder, or jarring lose of some buried memory about her UFO. At a Halloween party that Holly attended, where her ex-husband was present, the following production took place, which was her ex-husband"s idea:

Midnight arrived and we all gathered around while he pulled the curtain open across the stage for the show to begin. When the curtain opened, a display of a bridge of a UFO appeared with about four life-size aliens moving about, pushing buttons and making strange sounds as if communicating with one another. A table-like slab that seemed to float was in the corner of the display. It had a human-like full-size doll on it with an alien leaning over it. The alien held a tool in its hand and was waving it over the doll. The display had flashing lights and sound effects and everything in it moved. It was the most incredible thing I had ever seen and it frightened the hell out of me. The people at the party were thunderstruck by this scene and yelled and clapped and laughed. They loved it. My ex-husband stood there looking very pleased. I walked over and just stared at him. He turned and stared back. I then said to him in extreme seriousness, "You remember this, don't you, from that night?" Without blinking an eye or giving it much thought, he looked right at me and said, "Yeah, I think so."

Many times, either my husband or myself will just spout off a one liner about that sighting, something that reminds one of us, or jars a vague memory. For example, this is how I remembered that I had forgotten -- somehow the event was suppressed -- that we had experienced missing time during that orange orb sighting. No matter how random, weird, or off the wall the comment is, the other one will acknowledge, in all seriousness, the import of that comment. And the other one will realize we weren"t really joking around after all.
