Here's a funny one:

Quote:
And also after the first Apollo Moonrockets in 1969-70 , many americans felt that, what they saw was not real. There was something unreal about the whole thing , some said.
I would say that this is actually true. Many people probably did feel the moon landings had an unreal feel to them. The same kind of feeling of unreality I had watching the WTC towers collapse on TV.

When you witness a large and dramatic event, especially one that falls outside of your normally-perceived experience, you are bound to feel a kind of disassociation from it. But it doesn't make the event any less real, and it isn't something to be relied on to prompt suspicion towards the experience itself.
