“”As I recall, he reported them — and was brushed off by the authorities.””
That’s the way I remember it also. It could have been an urban legend also...Don’t know!
Now I remember the one detail that is here and that is what James Woods related on TV - that he was visited by agents of the FBI at his home after he reported the incident... The second link states it was an interview with Bill O’Reilly so that’s probably what I remember it from..
