Hi timetravel ,I had the same question when I started out (even despite having an OOBE of my own , I was skeptical and doubted the veracity of the AP) , but over the years hanging out here some of the skepticism regarding how genuine the thing is has dissipated.Pay attention to the small stuff people talk about their AP experience.We are a skeptical society here , so even the long time proponents of AP write in a credulous manner , for example someone the other day (I can't recall who) was saying that as they floated upwards , they were surprised to see above the refrigerator , seedlings they had left there were sprouting.The tone of voice was had a slight tone of disbelief , saying they were taken aback on seeing the seedlings as they had probably forgotten about them after leaving them there.So like I said , if you hang around and pay attention , you might over time make your mind up about it.
