Here we have a common problem. The story came from a UFO author. Who else has seen the personal communications that led up to this story being told?
The author may have been contacted by Bill, we just do not know. Bill may have just been spinning a yarn -did he give Joe's full name? Was that checked and did the author check to see that Joe had died as he was told? Was any contact attempted with the other 'witnesses' -they might not have wanted to talk about it but just a "can you confirm yes or no that this happened and we'll end things there".
There are far too many of these accounts that online sources and You Tube promoted as though there is no doubt and that they did take place based on an author or Ufologist's account.
To verify any case I report on I have two people who can confirm seeing correspondence or the file and confirming that I am reporting accurately.
The stories all sound great but then you ask "Was this all checked?" and then you realise it is NOT "UFO evidence" but an unconfirmed story.
