Since the modern era of abductions began with the Barney and Betty Hill UFO close encounter of September 19, 1961, in New Hampshire, ufology has never been the same. Before the Hills’ encounter, UFO sightings were investigated in a prescribed, straight forward manner that involved gathering supporting evidence while simultaneously trying to disprove a witness’s account. The Hill’s remarkable experience injected a new element, regressive hypnosis.
In the future, entity-related cases hypnosis would often come to be the only means to prove or disprove an alleged encounter with aliens. Hypnotherapy, in short, became a quick truth serum that often eliminated the necessity of independent witnesses and background checks of the alleged abductees. The lack of supporting physical evidence and why abductions, almost without exception, were never reported to local police agencies were not addressed. To explain these obvious discrepancies, UFO investigators and researchers came up with innovative ideas. “Screen memories,” abduction investigators said, were used by the abducting aliens to conceal their ghastly abductions. The “switching off” of important witnesses, who, somehow never saw their loved ones abducted, was also employed by the tricky extraterrestrial (ET) aliens to conceal their sinister space kidnappings.
As new UFO investigators joined the hunt in trying to solve the world’s most elusive mystery, they, largely, accepted hypnosis sessions with abductees as a legitimate detective tool to seek the truth behind abductions. Objective UFO investigators after many investigated cases, however, saw that many aspects of the abduction experience were troubling. There seemed to be considerable overlap into what in the past had only been referred to as paranormal activity.
Abductees often say they hear explosions and unidentified, but alarming, strange sounds in their houses. They also see small balls of light floating on their ceilings and have strange green or blue flashes popping inside their homes. While in bed, abductees sometimes find they have terrifying nightmares where they can’t seem to move. Often they feel “something” is on top of them trying to suffocate or hold them down. Awakening, they see “shadows” or short dark-robed entities near the foot of their beds. Frequently these unknown entities are found near the beds of their infants, toddlers or children and seen to disappear through walls on entering and leaving. Amazingly, the unknown entities do not cause the witness to become frightened as they watch/endure actions that should provoke great fear. Mind-control, it is thought, is induced to calm the abductees during abductions.
Most, to nearly all, of the above has happened for centuries to people who have never entertained thoughts of a UFO-connected experience. Earlier victims believed their houses were haunted and that ghosts or demons were bothering them. Church officials were often brought in to exorcise the demons. Amateur “ghost-busters” engaged to explain the hauntings. The demons, uncharacteristically, followed many of these same people from house-to-house, just as abductees say abductions follow them through their lives. If it was only ghost activity, as many in the past and even today incorrectly believe, why would the ghosts continue to haunt in new locations? Were tracking devices or implants placed in these helpless victims hundreds or even thousands of years ago as abductees now believe is happening to themselves, today?
To understand the riddle, it has to be accepted, as the preponderance of evidence suggests, that UFO sightings and abductions are two distinct and separate phenomenons. It cannot be positively said that no one has never been physically abducted but it has definitely been an enormous mistake to downplay the similarities between bedroom abductions and demonic activity. Indeed with the exception of a handful of abduction accounts–the Travis Walton account of Snowflake, Arizona being the most noteworthy–that appear to have supporting witnesses, who actually said they saw a kidnapping of a person into an unknown space ship, the testimony of abductees, regardless of how it was acquired, should have never been accepted at face value. If true objectivity had been observed by abduction investigators this blurring of UFO and paranormal accounts would have never taken place. It is this veteran field investigator’s belief that 99.9 percent of all entity sightings do not involve UFOs or extraterrestrials. What most so-called “abductees” are really experiencing are innerterrestrials INTs).
Make no mistake they are an alien species–but not one of the flesh. These dimensional creatures can move easily through walls and, yet, not violate man’s known physics. They are spiritually abducting so many victims seemingly everywhere. They do not need space ships or space suits to interface with us. They do not need to do insane breeding experiments as so many abductees believe is happening. All can be explained as mind games that nevertheless are of a sinister nature. They are, as abduction researcher Dr. David Jacobs correctly proposes, a “threat,” but not an extraterrestrial one, as he believes. An ET threat would require a huge logistical undertaking, involving thousands of space ships if there are a million abductees or more as a Roper poll in the early 1990s suggested. The proof that we have two distinct phenomenons can be found in what is not alike between genuine UFO sightings and entity/abduction experiences.
Over the last half century UFO sightings have come largely in great “waves” and, sometimes, in localized “flaps.” The great documented UFO waves since World War II have occurred in 1947, 1952, 1965-66, 1973, a smaller and less defined wave during 1987-1988, and finally, the greatest wave, 1993-1997. If you look between these great waves, at least in the United States, you will a find a few localized flaps–Gulf Breeze Florida, Pine Bush New York, Fyffe Alabama, and most recently, around LaGrange, Georgia. Markedly, sighting reports show that there is a huge falloff of UFO activity between waves. Abduction experiences, however, do not ride or crest with these same waves. They have been everywhere and seemingly forever since the abduction of the Hills. So have the sightings of witches, ghosts, and “haints, as rural Southerners commonly call INTs, continued uninterrupted. Worldwide, paranormal activity has occurred throughout history, with many saying that today’s demonic infiltration is at unprecedented levels. (A year ago a Vatican guard went berserk and killed a fellow Papal guard. In a, just released, (Feb. 1999) Vatican report on the incident it was learned that the first thing the Pope’s commission investigated was to see if the guard had been possessed by demons.)
True UFOs do not occur often in urban areas, despite the vast majority of UFO and abduction investigators living in large cities. Instead, most authentic UFO sightings take place in rural locales. There is a good reason for this: If UFOs are extraterrestrial spacecraft, as many suspect, it can be speculated that, at least during a portion of their activities on earth, they can be seen and located by humans. Nearly all of the best close-encounter sightings come from isolated spots where there are seldom other witnesses around. Most UFO sightings also occur late at night and, interestingly, during the period of Sunday through Thursday; the exact times that most people are not outside! Secrecy is essential for these physical crafts, as they can be seen and possibly touched if detected. Not so with what abductees commonly call the grays, which are really inner terrestrials. Like hauntings, abductions seemingly occur as often in rural as urban areas and at random times which suggests secrecy is not paramount.
