VI. Otherworldly Journeys and military underground facilities
It is interesting to note, that 7 abductees of my test sample claim that they were allegedly transported to a military underground facility. The research of Dr. Richard Sauder showed that almost every federal agency or military institution has several secret underground facilities all over the USA. Some of these facilities are so secret, that there are only rumors about their existence [36]. We should be aware that Otherworldly Journeys to strange underground places are common in UFO-abductions. Dr. Thomas Bullard found a specific pattern in Otherworldly Journeys [4, 5].
Preparation: The alien beings put the abductee into a protective environment for the trip.
Travel: Actual transit to the Otherworld occurs.
Underground: The abductee passes underground.
Landscape: The abductee sees the surface of the Otherworld.
Museum: The tour of the Otherworld includes a stop at a museum or zoo.
Dr. Bullard’s study includes 10 UFO-abduction cases, where the abductee experienced an Otherworldly Journey in an underworld during their UFO-abductions. A typical Otherworldly Journey is Betty Andreasson’s experience in 1950. She experienced how a UFO plunged into a sea and came out again, then entered huge crystalline caverns which broadened into a vast underworld. Less frequently the examination occurs on the Otherworld. During an abduction experience 1967 Betty Andreasson passed through a long dark tunnel like a mine shaft out of the rock. Dr. Gilda Moura informed me that she investigated UFO-abduction cases where abductees report Otherworldly Journeys into underground caves in Brazil.
However, these Otherworldly Journeys are not comparable to well-investigated MILAB-underground cases. The Otherworldly Journey experiences have a mystical touch, while the MILAB underground experiences seem to be a manifestation in our reality. MILAB-abductees describe elevators, hallways, generators, conferences, and medical rooms. Contrary to experiences during Otherworldly Journeys, if a MILAB-abductee will be kidnapped to an underground facility the abductors exanimate the victims there. Some abductees report Otherworldly Journeys and MILAB-experiences separately [16, 20].
Beth, an abductee from Dr. Turner’s book Taken: Inside the Alien-Human Abduction Agenda, described flashbacks that started with her seeing a small flying disc, entering a well lit underground city [20]. The craft flew on through a tunnel passage into an enormous cavern that contained several buildings. UFOs parked in various locations and alien beings working side by side with human military personnel. In her next flashback Beth flew somehow through a body of water, into a tunnel and then emerged from a lake.
Such flashbacks should be investigated very carefully, since they could be a mixture of an Otherworldly Journey (entering a well lit underground city) and a MILAB underground experience (seeing military personnel). It is also important to note that some abductees have flashbacks where they are seeing aliens and military personnel together, but during hypnosis the abductee remembers only the military personnel [15, 37].
Perhaps the abductee mixed a UFO-abduction experience and a MILAB-scenario, or the abductee underwent some kind of hypno-programming by military psychiatrists during the kidnapping. Probably the military uses Electronic Dissolution of Memory (EDM) which is accomplished by electronically jamming the brain, causing the neurotransmitter acetylcholine to create static which blocks out sight and sounds. After this mind control procedure a MILAB-abductee would have no memory of what he/she saw or heard. The mind of the abductee would be blank [2, 19, 25].
