Abducted By Space Aliens

Introduction

The terms alien abduction or abduction phenomenon describe "subjectively real memories of being taken secretly and/or against one's will by apparently nonhuman entities and subjected to complex physical and psychological procedures." People claiming to have been abducted are usually called "abductees" or "experiencers." Typical claims involve the experiencer being subjected to a forced medical examination which emphasizes their reproductive system. Abductees sometimes claim to have been warned against environmental abuse and the dangers of nuclear weapons. Consequently, while many of these purported encounters are described as terrifying, some have been viewed as pleasurable or transformative.

Discussion

The alien abduction story that seems to have started the cult beliefs about alien visitation and experimentation is the Betty and Barney Hill story. The Hills claim to have been abducted by aliens on September 19, 1961. Betty first "remembered" her abduction during a series of nightmares, which she told Barney about. Barney claims the aliens took a sample of his sperm. Betty claims they stuck a needle in her belly button. She took people out to an alien landing spot, but only she could see the aliens and their craft. The Hills recalled most of their story under hypnosis a few years after the abduction. Barney Hill reported that the aliens had "wraparound eyes," a rather unusual feature. However, twelve days earlier an episode of "The Outer Limits" featured just such an alien being (Kottmeyer). According to Robert Schaeffer, "we can find all the major elements of contemporary UFO abductions in a 1930 comic adventure, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century."

As for the 'alien' memories themselves, people tell stories of being shown around spaceships, of having alien technology explained to them, of being given advice on how to save the planet, but then they claim they have had their memories suppressed. Why would aliens bother educating and giving advice to abductees knowing full well that the last thing they would do before tucking them back into their bed was to wipe their memories? You don't tell secrets to people who you would rather didn't know those secrets. It can't be argued that aliens let abductees see everything safe in the knowledge that they're going to wipe their memories later on. Abductees know and you and I know that alien 'memory wiping', if it exists, is unreliable. Some abductees claim they have been taken multiple times by aliens and that they are continuously observed. Thus the aliens would also know that on some occasions their memory wiping fails, so they would naturally hide as much as they could from abductees so that if their memory wipe fails, the abductee would have little to remember. It just doesn't make sense that aliens would eagerly divulge information about themselves that they don't want us to know. And more importantly, if they really wanted us to know about their technology and give us advice, they wouldn't abduct hillbillies, they'd abduct scientists and world ...
