This Man Says NASA Asked for Help After Astronauts Encountered Orbs Containing 125-Foot Winged Angelic Beings That Smiled at Them

Chris explained that he worked with NASA for years and has proof, including photos, videos, and official documents, along with meetings with high-level scientists. NASA was interested in him because these beings seemed to like him and communicated with him, while avoiding official agencies. NASA wanted to know why the beings chose him and why they were bothering their astronauts.

He claimed that all astronauts have seen orbs or these beings in space, even though this has never been officially released. These beings appear outside space shuttles, looking through the windows or floating above the shuttle bay or space station. Sometimes they are glowing, and there are reports of several of them standing together, up to 125 feet tall with wings, smiling at the astronauts.

Chris described them as energy beings that come out of glowing orbs. He says they are angelic and can appear in many forms. They can be six or seven feet tall or much larger. They can look like drones or flying saucers and can even split into two or many forms.

He revealed that the government is very afraid of these mysterious beings or phenomena. He calls them “plasmoids” or angelic beings and says the fear comes from the fact that the government cannot control them and has no way to defend against them.

He has attended high-level meetings in Washington, D.C. with congressmen and military officials who are scared and uncertain about how to handle these beings.

According to Chris, the government does not want the public to interact with or think about these entities because they fears losing control. To prevent this, they twist the truth or create fear by labeling the beings as aliens, plasmoids, or Chinese drones. This creates confusion and fear in people who don’t understand what is going on.

On Danny Jones’ podcast, Bledsoe revealed that after his first encounter with orbs in 2007, the sightings never stopped. They continued from that night onward. He kept seeing things in the sky, and it was always very obvious to him. He wrote many stories about these experiences in his book, though only part of what he wrote was published. He originally wrote about 140,000 words, but the final version had only around 90,000 words, including the introduction, so a lot was left out.

His daughter added that their mom was not very comfortable with these experiences and did not encourage them. But Chris would still secretly wake up her and her brothers, Ryan and Jeremy, late at night, sometimes at 2 or 3 a.m., to go outside and watch orbs appear in their yard. These glowing balls of light would sometimes come very close. After watching them, the kids would just go to bed and then go to school the next day as if nothing strange had happened.

Chris explained that some of the orbs were enormous, about 50 feet wide and 100 yards away. They were as big as trees and would float through the trees or hover for hours. One time, a blue orb stayed in place near their door, and they could watch it through the window as it moved around the trees.

When asked if the orbs made any sounds, Chris said that sometimes they did and sometimes they did not. When they made noise, it sounded like buzzing or sizzling, similar to the crackling sound an old light switch might make when you flip it. But he never noticed any kind of smell with them.

At one point, they look at a photo showing Chris Jr., his son, and Chris points out that behind his son, near the wood, is where he had an encounter with a small three-foot-tall being. That is also where the orbs landed in his yard. He says the orbs left marks on the ground that killed the grass, leaving big circles with a little patch of grass left in the center like a donut. There were three such circles. Some orbs even skimmed along the ground, burning the grass as they moved before settling down.

Chris mentions that MUFON, the Mutual UFO Network, tested the soil in those areas. MUFON is a volunteer-based organization where people can report UFO sightings and get them investigated by enthusiasts and researchers.

Chris also said that one of the trees near where the orb landed, a large oak tree, died afterward. Its limbs just started falling off, and eventually the whole tree crumbled. He connects this to the orb landing only about 12 feet away from it.

On the Shawn Ryan Show, Chris discussed a powerful spiritual experience he had on Easter in 2012. He said a woman appeared to him in a vision. He calls her “The Lady” and also refers to her as “Hathor,” the ancient Egyptian goddess. She told him to start sharing his paranormal experiences with the world, including her message.

At the time, he believed he had been abducted by some force but didn’t remember the details right away. Later, he began to remember more. He said he was taken around the Earth in a clear bubble and shown different places, including Egypt, Hathor’s temple, and the Sphinx. He noticed the Sphinx was facing East.

In 2013, the same woman returned and showed him visions of the future. She gave him a prophecy. She said, “When the Red Star of Regulus appears on the horizon before daylight in the gaze of the Sphinx, at that time will be a New Knowledge to come to this planet.”

Chris said he told scientists and researchers about this, and when they checked it with astronomical tools, they confirmed that this rare alignment will happen on Easter in the year 2026.

After this, government-related groups began to focus on the date through remote viewing. Now the year 2026, and even 2027, is being talked about more in the media as a time when something big could happen. Chris says even well-known people like Lue Elizondo have mentioned 2026.

He also had a moment with a man named Robert Grant, who had been searching for a special ruby he thought needed to be placed between the paws of the Sphinx for a major event. But Chris told him it wasn’t a ruby. It was the star Regulus. Grant reacted strongly and said, “It’s the king star.”

This message from “The Lady” lines up with something Edgar Cayce, the famous psychic, predicted decades ago. Cayce said there is a hidden “Hall of Records” under the Sphinx in Egypt. He believed it contains ancient knowledge that could change the world.

According to Cayce, the chamber would only be discovered when certain stars and planets align. He described a specific moment when the shadow or light from the rising sun would fall between the Sphinx’s paws, marking the right time.

He said the entrance to the chamber would stay sealed until humanity is ready. The records are believed to contain information like:

• The history of Atlantis, an advanced civilization that supposedly sank into the ocean
• Details about the people of Atlantis, their technology, and spiritual wisdom
• Knowledge about where humans came from and why we exist
• A connection between the Atlanteans and ancient Egyptians

Cayce believed this knowledge would only be revealed when humanity becomes more spiritually aware. When that happens, it could bring in a new and better era for the world.

Chris Bledsoe now believes that whatever happens in 2026 might be connected to all of this. He even hints that it could be the return of Christ.

Wat we weten over de 'niet-menselijke' buitenaardse lichamen van Mexico
Op 12 september 2023 presenteerde journalist en UFO-fan Jaime Maussan de stoffelijk overschotten van vermeende aliens voor de Mexicaanse autoriteiten. Zo'n congresgebeurtenis is ongekend en de wereld raakt er maar niet over uitgepraat. Maar wie zijn deze vermeende buitenaardse wezens? En hoe zijn ze in 2023 in Mexico terechtgekomen?

Presentatie
Op 12 september 2023 presenteerde Jaime Maussan de stoffelijk overschotten van vermeende 'niet-mensen' voor het Mexicaanse congres.

©Getty Images

Wie is Jaime Maussan?
Jaime Maussan is journalist en onderzoeker op het gebied van ongeïdentificeerde anomale fenomenen (UAP), ook wel UFO's genoemd.

©Getty Images

Wetgevers
De lichamen werden aan de wetgevers van het land gepresenteerd tijdens de eerste openbare hoorzitting van het Mexicaanse Congres over dit onderwerp.

©Getty Images

Dozen
Twee dozen werden gepresenteerd aan het congres, elk met vermeende opgezette lichamen van buitenaardse wezens.

©Getty Images

Oorsprong
Volgens Maussan werden de lichamen van de buitenaardsen in 2017 teruggevonden in Peru, in de buurt van de oude Nazcalijnen.

©Getty Images

Hoe oud zijn ze?
Koolstof-14 datering uitgevoerd door de Nationale Autonome Universiteit van Mexico schat de buitenaardse resten op 700 tot 1.800 jaar oud.

©Getty Images

Lichaamskenmerken
In tegenstelling tot mensen hadden beide lijken maar drie vingers aan elke hand.

©Getty Images

Lichaamskenmerken
Ze hadden ook langwerpige hoofden die leken op het personage E.T. uit Steven Spielbergs film 'E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial' uit 1982.

©Getty Images

De eerste keer
"Dit is de eerste keer dat het (buitenaards leven) in een dergelijke vorm wordt gepresenteerd en ik denk dat er een duidelijk bewijs is dat we te maken hebben met niet-menselijke exemplaren die niet verwant zijn aan andere soorten in onze wereld," vertelde Maussan voor het congres.

©Getty Images

DNA-bewijs
Jaime Maussan zei dat DNA-testen zouden bewijzen dat de lijken niet van onze planeet afkomstig waren, maar dergelijk bewijs werd niet geleverd.

©Getty Images

Tests
Bovendien vertelde José de Jesús Zalce Benitez, directeur van het Wetenschappelijk Instituut voor Gezondheid van de Mexicaanse marine, ook dat er röntgenfoto's en 3D-reconstructies waren gemaakt. Maar opnieuw werd er geen bewijs gepresenteerd.

©Getty Images

Tests
Het Nationaal Laboratorium voor Massaspectrometrie met Versnellers (LEMA) bracht een verklaring uit 2017 opnieuw uit waarin stond dat hun tests alleen bedoeld waren om de leeftijd van de monsters te bepalen, en dat ze dit deden aan de hand van monsters die door de klant waren aangeleverd en niet aan de hand van de monsters zelf.

©Getty Images

Verklaring LEMA
Het lab "distantieert zich van elk gebruik, interpretatie of latere verkeerde voorstelling van de resultaten die het levert", luidde de verklaring. "In geen enkel geval trekken we conclusies over de herkomst van deze monsters."

©Getty Images

Niet de eerste
Het blijkt dat dit niet de eerste keer is dat Jaime Maussan beweert 'niet-menselijke' overblijfselen te hebben ontdekt. In 2015 beweerde hij een gemummificeerde alien te hebben ontdekt in Nazca, Peru.

©Getty Images

Niet de eerste
De 'ontdekking' werd echter ontkracht. In werkelijkheid was de "alien" een gemummificeerd mensenkind met een misvorming aan het hoofd.

©Getty Images

Veranderingen in de wet
Tijdens de hoorzitting werd gedebatteerd over of de inhoud over UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) in de Aerial Space Protection Law moest worden aangepast. Als deze veranderingen worden goedgekeurd, wordt Mexico 'de eerste natie die formeel erkent dat er buitenaards leven op aarde bestaat'.

©Getty Images

Amerikaanse inbreng
Maussan werd vergezeld door Ryan Graves, de uitvoerend directeur van de organisatie Americans for Safe Aerospace. Graves is een voormalig piloot van de Amerikaanse marine die soortgelijke zorgen naar voren bracht in Washington.

©Getty Images

Amerikaanse inbreng
Graves vertelde Mexicaanse wetgevers: "Wij geloven dat UAP een dringende prioriteit vormen voor zowel de veiligheid van de luchtvaart als voor wetenschappelijk onderzoek," zei hij. "Onze focus ligt op het verbeteren van publieke voorlichting over UAP, het doorbreken van stigma's en het werken aan betere transparantie en openbaarmaking."

©Getty Images

Een congreslid laat de deur open
"We blijven achter met overpeinzingen, met zorgen en met de weg om hierover te blijven praten," aldus Congreslid Sergio Gutiérrez Luna.

©Getty Images

Kritiek
Maussans presentatie is door een aantal mensen in twijfel getrokken, waaronder een van Mexico's beste astrobiologen, Antígona Segura, die zei: "Deze conclusies worden simpelweg niet ondersteund door bewijs."

©Getty Images

Kritiek
De vermeende buitenaardse lichamen als bewijs werd ook bekritiseerd door Julieta Fierro, onderzoeker aan het Instituut voor Astronomie van de Nationale Autonome Universiteit van Mexico, die zei dat het "nergens op sloeg".

©Getty Images

Kritiek
"Maussan heeft vele wonderen beleefd Hij zegt dat hij met de Maagd van Guadalupe heeft gesproken", aldus Fierro. "Hij vertelde me dat buitenaardsen niet met mij praten zoals ze met hem praten, omdat ik er niet in geloof."

Misschien zijn we niet alleen
Laten we eens kijken naar de meest beroemde UFO-waarnemingen ter wereld.

Het Roswell-incident
Het Roswell-incident is misschien wel een van de beroemdste in de Amerikaanse ufologie. In 1947 beweerden twee mannen dat ze hadden gezien hoe Amerikaans legerpersoneel een buitenaards ruimteschip uit de woestijn haalde. Het Amerikaanse leger ontkent het incident tot op de dag van vandaag.

De waarneming door Jimmy Carter
In 1973 rapporteerde de toenmalige gouverneur van Georgia dat hij een UFO had gezien, een feit dat pas bekend werd nadat Carter president van de Verenigde Staten was geworden.

De waarneming in Vancouver
Op 20 februari 2011 meldden een aantal mensen in Vancouver, Canada, dat ze een object in de lucht zagen zweven dat licht uitstraalde. Beelden van de gebeurtenis werden bekeken en er werd geconcludeerd dat de UFO eigenlijk een vlieger was met LED-lampjes.

Het incident met kapitein William Schaffner
Op 9 september 1970 vloog piloot William Schaffner van de Royal Air Force boven de Noordzee toen hij een vreemd object zag zweven. Een paar minuten later verloor hij de radiocommunicatie. Het vliegtuig werd later in zee gevonden, maar de kap van het vliegtuig was dicht en er was geen spoor van kapitein Schaffner.

De lichtjes van Lubbock
Tussen augustus en september 1951 werden in Lubbock, Texas, verschillende ongewone lichtformaties waargenomen die in een V-patroon waren gerangschikt. De Amerikaanse luchtmacht stelde een onderzoek in en concludeerde dat de lichten waren veroorzaakt door een plevier (een kleine waadvogel).

De lichtjes van Rendlesham Forest
Het Rendlesham Forest incident is een serie waarnemingen die plaatsvond in 1980 nadat een UFO vermoedelijk was geland in het Engelse Rendlesham Forest. Maar het Ministerie van Defensie beschouwde de gebeurtenis nooit als een bedreiging voor de nationale veiligheid, dus werd het nooit formeel onderzocht.

Abductions by Extraterrestrials: Fantasy, Deception, or Reality? - PART I

1. Preface

Based on tens of thousands of reports from individuals claiming that extraterrestrial beings visit our planet and take selected persons aboard their spacecraft to perform various medical and reproductive experiments, we find ourselves delving into a new and intriguing aspect of ufology. These reports, originating from both alleged victims of abduction and some investigators, present detailed accounts that seem remarkably realistic, rooted in what the witnesses describe as genuine experiences.

Throughout history, many people have recounted encounters with strange beings, often described as humanoid or alien in appearance. Among these, the most commonly reported are the so-called Greys—small, gray-skinned entities with large black eyes—who are said to visit Earth in flying saucers. These stories have persisted for decades and continue to fascinate and mystify both the public and researchers alike.

The phenomenon of alien abductions has grown significantly over the years. According to current ufological research, thousands of well-documented reports detail encounters where individuals claim to have been taken aboard unidentified flying objects. Once aboard, they assert to have undergone medical examinations, sometimes involving invasive procedures, and to have been returned to their original location afterward. These accounts are often consistent, with many victims describing similar experiences, which lends a certain degree of credibility to their claims.

Adding to the intrigue, some ufologists believe that the incident in Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947, was a significant event—the crash of a flying saucer containing extraterrestrial beings, which was allegedly recovered by the U.S. military. This incident has become a cornerstone of UFO conspiracy theories, fueling speculation about secret government dealings with alien entities. According to these theories, the U.S. government has established clandestine contact with extraterrestrials and perhaps even maintains facilities like Area 51, where such encounters are said to occur and are kept under wraps from the public.

Despite the persistent nature of these stories, skepticism remains widespread. The scientific community and many skeptics argue that the entire phenomenon is rooted in imagination, misidentification, or deliberate deception. They contend that there is no credible scientific evidence to support the existence of extraterrestrial visitors or abductions. Instead, these reports are often dismissed as the result of hallucinations, sleep paralysis, psychological trauma, or the influence of popular media and science fiction.

The debate over the reality of alien abductions has become polarized. On one side are the believers—individuals and some researchers who are convinced that these experiences are genuine encounters with extraterrestrial beings. They point to the consistency of reports, the physical and psychological effects reported by victims, and the growing number of documented cases as evidence supporting their claims. On the other side are skeptics who see these stories as elaborate fantasies or fabrications, emphasizing the lack of empirical proof and highlighting the role of psychological and cultural factors.

This ongoing controversy illustrates the complex nature of the phenomenon. For many, these stories represent a profound mystery—one that challenges our understanding of reality and the universe. For others, they are simply the product of human imagination or deception. The question remains: are these abductions genuine encounters with extraterrestrial intelligences or merely a collective hallucination influenced by cultural narratives?

In conclusion, the phenomenon of alien abductions continues to occupy a prominent place in popular culture and scientific debate. While thousands of witnesses claim to have experienced these encounters, the lack of conclusive scientific evidence leaves the question open. Whether these stories are a manifestation of fantasy, deception, or an unknown aspect of reality, they remain one of the most fascinating mysteries of our time. The ongoing investigation and discussion reflect humanity's enduring curiosity about the universe and the possibility of life beyond Earth.

2. What Types of Alien Entities Are Described in UFO Reports?

Descriptions of extraterrestrial beings encountered in UFO sightings are remarkably diverse and intriguing. These accounts include a broad spectrum of entities, ranging from transparent, almost ghost-like figures to more solid, tangible beings. Some reports depict entities that appear entirely see-through or translucent, with some even showing visible skeletal structures through their semi-transparent bodies. Others describe large, bulky, glowing figures that resemble humanoid shapes but are significantly different in appearance, such as towering “men” with a luminous aura.

Among the most common descriptions are the so-called “Venusian” types—friendly, human-like aliens often associated with the planet Venus. These beings are described as having long, flowing blonde hair, and sometimes they are depicted as possessing a gentle, benevolent demeanor. Such descriptions evoke images of peaceful, approachable creatures that might be more akin to humans than to the stereotypical depiction of extraterrestrials.

In addition to these, there are reports of tiny, elf-like entities—small, delicate “little people” measuring only a few tens of centimeters tall. These diminutive beings are often described as having delicate features, and their appearances evoke fairy tales and mythologies, adding a mystical layer to the array of UFO-related encounters.

However, the most prevalent type of alien reported in the majority of cases—more than four-fifths, or about 80%—are the beings commonly known as “the Greys.” These extraterrestrials are characterized by their distinctive physical features: they are usually between 1.20 and 1.50 meters tall, with large, bald heads that dominate their small, slender bodies. Their most recognizable trait is their enormous, black, almond-shaped eyes, which are often described as deep, slanted, and mysterious. The Greys are frequently depicted as emotionless or highly logical beings, and they are associated with numerous abduction stories.

Despite this prevalence, approximately 20% of these descriptions sound so bizarre and absurd that they challenge the credibility of the reports. Some accounts describe entities with features so peculiar that skeptics find it difficult to accept their authenticity, fearing they might be products of imagination or hallucination.

Nevertheless, a dedicated minority of researchers has diligently collected, analyzed, and studied these varied reports. These investigators understand the importance of setting aside personal biases and fears to compile a comprehensive database of UFO encounters. Their efforts aim to uncover patterns and possibly reveal the nature of these enigmatic beings.

Interestingly, some scientists and investigators believe that children are among the most reliable witnesses. Many UFO landings have been documented through sightings reported by children, who often describe encounters with extraterrestrial entities in great detail. Skeptics argue that children’s vivid imaginations, influenced by science fiction comics, cartoons, and video games, might lead to false or exaggerated reports. Still, proponents counter that children’s open-minded and unfiltered perspectives make them ideal witnesses; their descriptions often include details that adults might overlook or dismiss.

Furthermore, numerous cases of alleged alien abductions involve children as young as four or five years old. These individuals often report being taken aboard spacecraft and having direct contact with extraterrestrial beings. Many abductees recall their initial encounters occurring early in childhood, suggesting that these early experiences might be crucial in understanding the nature of UFO phenomena and the types of entities encountered. The consistency of these reports fuels ongoing debates and investigations into the possibility of genuine extraterrestrial contact, especially involving the most impressionable witnesses—children.

3. Who Sees UFOs?

According to skeptics, the individuals who report sightings of UFOs and encounters with UFO occupants are generally unreliable and untrustworthy. They often dismiss these reports as the product of overactive imaginations, hallucinations, or deliberate hoaxes. However, when we take a closer look at the diverse range of people who have reported such experiences, it becomes clear that skepticism may be premature or overly dismissive. Not only children but also law enforcement officers, medical doctors, notaries, lawyers, astronomers, airline pilots, and other prominent citizens have all come forward with accounts of witnessing strange flying objects and interacting with extraterrestrial beings. Even some highly trained astronauts, who have undergone rigorous psychological and physical evaluations, have reported encounters with UFOs during their missions or training. These testimonies challenge the notion that only unreliable or fringe individuals see these phenomena.

Do you know what the word “skeptic” actually means? The term originates from the Greek word “skepsis,” which translates to “doubt” or “doubting attitude.” A true skeptic is someone who questions and seeks evidence before accepting claims as fact. Yet, in practice, many so-called skeptics tend to interpret evidence through a rigid dogmatic lens, often dismissing any information that does not align with mainstream scientific paradigms. Herman Boel’s “Dictionary of the Skeptic” offers approximately 400 definitions, arguments, and critical articles covering topics from acupuncture to zombies. It is a translation of Robert T. Carroll’s “The Skeptic’s Dictionary,” an extensive compilation of skeptical viewpoints. Many skeptics seem to reject any ideas or phenomena that fall outside their narrow scientific worldview, often dismissing UFO sightings and alien abduction reports as mere fantasies or deliberate fabrications. But how can we ignore the testimonies of witnesses who, in their daily lives, serve as police officers, physicians, and other professionals—people responsible for our safety—simply because their accounts involve extraordinary experiences? How can we dismiss their reports as falsehoods without proper investigation?

Despite the fact that thousands of books have been written about UFO phenomena, there remains a surprising scarcity of objective, balanced, and scientifically rigorous studies that are accepted by all parties involved. While sightings of UFOs and encounters with alien beings—often sensationalized as “flying saucers” and “little green men” in popular media—have historically been met with skepticism by the press, secular science, and the skeptical community, the specific cases of abductions are even more controversial. Many perceive these reports as highly unreliable or sensationalized, but others believe they point to a real, unexplained phenomenon. The question remains: who is truly seeing these objects and beings? Are these sightings hallucinations, mistaken identities, or genuine encounters with extraterrestrial visitors? The debate continues, fueled by both skepticism and curiosity.

4. How Is It That Science Shows Such Little Interest in the UFO Phenomenon?

The primary reason lies in the ongoing struggle of ufology to gain recognition and acceptance as a serious field of scientific inquiry. For decades, it has been fighting an uphill battle to be regarded not as a lucrative pastime or a hobby for amateurs, fantasists, or attention-seekers, but as a legitimate subject worthy of rigorous investigation. This struggle stems from the perception that the UFO phenomenon is largely a myth, a collection of fanciful stories, or even outright deception. Consequently, mainstream scientific institutions have often dismissed or ignored it, considering it irrelevant or too fringe to warrant serious study. This skepticism is deeply rooted in the scientific community’s preference for empirical, reproducible data and their general reluctance to engage with phenomena that lack clear, conventional evidence.

Prominent skeptic Paul Kurtz famously remarked that ufology is akin to the mythology of the space age. Instead of ancient tales of angels and demons, we now confront stories of extraterrestrial beings visiting Earth. According to Kurtz, ufology is essentially a product of creative imagination—an imaginative construct that serves poetic and existential functions. It embodies humanity’s longing for higher mysteries and transcendent meaning. In this sense, UFOs and related phenomena symbolize our hopes and fears about the universe, acting as modern mythologies that reflect our desire to find purpose beyond the mundane.

One must consider whether the differences in stories about angels, demons, trolls, or UFO occupants are merely a matter of the reference frame—the mental framework through which individuals interpret their experiences. For example, when I mention the word “car,” you probably think of your own vehicle, perhaps a specific brand or model. When I think of a car, I might picture my Opel Astra. The core experience—the concept of a device used for transportation—remains the same for everyone. However, the way each person describes or interprets that experience varies according to their background, worldview, and language.

Interestingly, within the scientific and skeptical communities, you will rarely find articles, books, or responses that offer constructive criticism of ufologists, or that discuss UFOs in a positive light. Instead, their tone is often dismissive, condescending, or outright mocking. Their certainty and dogmatism are palpable—they seem to have already concluded that the phenomena are either delusions, hoaxes, or hallucinations, and they dismiss any alternative explanations without genuine investigation. Their confidence in their own rationality and science’s infallibility often seeps through their writings and arguments, making it clear that they see themselves as the ultimate arbiters of truth.

The landing reports and especially the so-called UFO abduction cases do sound absurd, implausible, and sometimes even laughable. To an objective, serious, and critically minded researcher, these accounts can seem bizarre or exaggerated, and they may be reluctant to delve into such reports due to their seemingly implausible nature. These peculiar stories provide skeptics with ample ammunition to dismiss the entire UFO phenomenon as mere fantasy, deception, or mass hysteria. As a result, many genuine investigators are understandably hesitant to dedicate time and resources to studying these cases, fearing that they will be labeled as gullible or credulous.

Moreover, there is a prevalent fear among serious researchers that engaging with these bizarre cases might harm their credibility, leading to ridicule or professional marginalization. Many investigators worry that if they explore these phenomena openly, skeptics and critics will portray them as fools or charlatans. This concern about reputation and scientific reputation discourages many earnest researchers from taking the phenomenon seriously. Instead, they prefer to leave the topic untouched or dismiss it altogether to avoid potential damage to their standing within the scientific community.

This cautious approach is reinforced by the often malicious and underhanded tactics used by some skeptics in the media. Experienced ufologists and researchers have seen how certain skeptics have used smear campaigns, ridicule, or misrepresentation to discredit individuals or entire groups. Past instances include media campaigns that portrayed ufologists as deluded or mentally unstable, or that spread false claims about their motives. These tactics deter many from pursuing serious inquiry, fearing that their work will be hijacked or dismissed without fair consideration.

In recent decades, especially since the advent of the internet, there has been a noticeable shift. More and more ufologists and witnesses are now willing to share their experiences publicly, challenging the skepticism and ridicule that historically surrounded the phenomenon. They are no longer dependent solely on traditional media outlets to spread their findings; instead, they use blogs, forums, and social media platforms to voice their opinions and share evidence. This increased openness is a significant development, allowing for a broader and more diverse range of perspectives.

In the past, researchers needed the media to disseminate their findings or to gain public attention. Today, the internet provides a democratized platform where anyone can publish reports, share sightings, and voice personal experiences without censorship or gatekeeping. This newfound freedom has enabled figures like Budd Hopkins, Dr. John Mack, Dr. Jacob Saunders, and others to publish their research and findings more openly. For example, Dr. John Mack, a renowned American psychiatrist affiliated with Harvard University, boldly publicly stated that certain abduction experiences are real and vivid, lifetime memories—not hallucinations or fantasies.

This brave stance by Dr. Mack and others was met with fierce opposition from skeptics and the scientific establishment. They attempted to discredit him, questioning his credibility and even trying to revoke his academic credentials or funding. Fortunately, they failed in these efforts. However, reading the critical comments and the translated “Dictionary for the Skeptic,” one can see how egocentric and narcissistic these skeptics tend to be. For instance, Herman Boel, in his book, claims on page 332 that Dr. Mack was “lying without ever being caught”—a statement that appears to be a direct translation of a hostile critique. Such allegations serve as veiled accusations that Dr. Mack was a fraud or a charlatan.

This kind of language reveals the underlying hostility and bias of skeptics, who are often more interested in maintaining their worldview than in genuine scientific inquiry. It is troubling to see respected scientists or professionals accused of dishonesty without evidence, especially when they have the courage to speak out about phenomena that challenge conventional paradigms. Some skeptics even go as far as labeling these researchers as profiteers, accusing them of seeking financial gain from their investigations.

Are these negative assertions rooted in objective, critical scientific methodology? Or are they merely personal attacks cloaked as skepticism? If the latter, they undermine the very principles of honest scientific inquiry—namely, open-mindedness and evidence-based reasoning. Such behavior leaves a bitter taste and raises questions about who the real deceivers are. It is perhaps more accurate to suggest that the skeptics’ relentless dismissiveness and ad hominem attacks reveal their own insecurities, biases, and inability to confront phenomena that challenge their worldview.

The “ostrich policy” of the materialist, secular scientific establishment—burying their heads in the sand regarding UFOs and related phenomena—is a simplistic and ultimately dangerous stance. This approach stems from a desire to preserve existing dogmas and avoid cognitive dissonance. Their general attitude often involves doubt and skepticism, but as Herman Boel points out, their skepticism tends to be selective—favoring disbelief in the paranormal or extraterrestrial because it threatens their worldview. Their outright denial of UFOs as a genuine phenomenon has not stopped sightings and reports from continuing or increasing. The phenomenon persists, growing in complexity and credibility as more witnesses come forward.

The internet, especially search engines like Google, serves as a valuable tool for those seeking information or wishing to connect with credible witnesses. Many experiencers and investigators prefer to share their stories online, seeking understanding rather than dismissal. The key request from witnesses is simple: respect their privacy, treat their observations discreetly, and avoid ridicule. Often, their stories are suppressed or dismissed outright, in part because media and skeptics have conditioned the public to view such reports with suspicion. Yet, many of these witnesses are ordinary people—no different from you or me—who have had extraordinary experiences.

It is a tragedy that these accounts are often dismissed without thorough investigation. Even if, in the end, research determines that the experiences are not caused by extraterrestrial beings, these individuals have still benefited from being heard and validated. Recognizing their experiences as genuine, regardless of the explanation, provides psychological relief and a sense of being taken seriously. The need for serious, unbiased investigation into UFO sightings and abduction reports is more crucial than ever. Only through honest inquiry, free from prejudice and bias, can we hope to understand the true nature of these mysterious encounters.

In conclusion, the lack of interest from mainstream science in the UFO phenomenon is rooted in a complex interplay of skepticism, institutional inertia, and cultural biases. While the phenomenon continues to grow in complexity and credibility, it remains marginalized largely because of the fear of losing scientific credibility or being associated with fringe beliefs. However, recent developments—such as the brave testimonies of researchers and witnesses online—offer hope for a future where UFOs are studied with the seriousness they deserve. Respect, open-mindedness, and a commitment to genuine scientific inquiry are essential if we are to unravel the mysteries that these phenomena present and to give voice to those who have experienced them firsthand.

5. What Is the Scientific Response?

The story of UFOs and extraterrestrial encounters begins on June 24, 1947, a date that marks the inception of modern UFO lore. On that day, an American pilot named Kenneth Arnold reported seeing nine unusual flying objects near Mount Rainier in Washington State. He described them as crescent-shaped craft flying in an irregular formation at incredible speeds, which made him think of “saucers bouncing over water.” This observation sparked widespread media attention, and the term “flying saucers” was quickly adopted to describe these mysterious objects. The media eagerly latched onto Arnold’s account, and within a matter of weeks, hundreds of reports poured in across the United States from individuals claiming to have seen similar phenomena.

This phenomenon can be loosely compared to the events that unfolded in Belgium around 1989-1990, after two police officers in Eupen observed a triangular-shaped craft in the night sky. That sighting received extensive media coverage, leading to a surge of reports from the Brussels-based UFO group SOBEPS, which documented hundreds of sightings. These episodes exemplify how media coverage can significantly influence public perception and stimulate a wave of reports—sometimes leading to what is called a “UFO flap.” Such episodes demonstrate the powerful role the media plays in shaping and even amplifying UFO phenomena, often creating a feedback loop that sustains public interest and investigation.

Many researchers point out that a significant proportion of UFO sightings and reports of “UFOonauts,” such as the famous Greys, correspond closely with standard descriptions that have become embedded in popular culture. For some, this consistency is seen as evidence that witnesses genuinely experienced something extraordinary—an authentic encounter that defies simple explanation. The recurring themes and descriptions lend credibility to the idea that these witnesses might have indeed observed real phenomena, perhaps even alien craft or beings. They argue that the similarities across reports are too consistent to be mere coincidence or collective hallucination.

On the other hand, skeptics challenge this interpretation. They contend that witnesses tend to describe these objects and beings in similar ways because of cultural expectations and stereotypical images of UFOs and aliens. According to this view, eyewitnesses are influenced by media portrayals, science fiction, and popular narratives, which shape their perceptions and descriptions. Skeptics argue that people often interpret ambiguous phenomena—such as lights in the sky or unusual shapes—through the lens of existing stereotypes, leading to reports that are essentially the same stories retold. They suggest that these accounts are constructed or influenced by psychological biases, rather than actual encounters with extraterrestrial craft.

The scientific response to UFO phenomena is multifaceted, involving disciplines such as astronomy, psychology, physics, and engineering. Most scientists approach UFO reports with a healthy dose of skepticism, emphasizing the importance of empirical evidence and reproducibility. The scientific community generally regards UFO sightings, especially those that lack verifiable data, as anecdotal and not sufficient to warrant claims of extraterrestrial visitation. Many scientists argue that most sightings can be explained by natural phenomena, such as meteors, atmospheric optical effects, or human-made objects like aircraft and drones. For instance, luminous phenomena like ball lightning, planets like Venus, or even weather balloons can sometimes be mistaken for unknown craft.

Moreover, the scientific method demands rigorous investigation, including collecting physical evidence, conducting controlled experiments, and replicating observations. To date, no credible scientific evidence has emerged that confirms the existence of extraterrestrial spacecraft or beings. Official investigations, such as Project Blue Book conducted by the U.S. Air Force from 1952 to 1969, concluded that the majority of UFO reports could be explained by natural causes or misidentifications. While some cases remain unexplained, the absence of verifiable physical data leaves the scientific community unconvinced that these are signs of alien visitation.

In recent years, government and military agencies have taken a renewed interest in UFOs, now often referred to as Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP). Reports and videos released by the U.S. Department of Defense have shown objects exhibiting flight capabilities beyond known human technology. These developments have prompted calls within the scientific community for more transparent investigation and data sharing. Some scientists advocate for establishing dedicated research programs to analyze UAP data systematically, emphasizing the importance of applying scientific rigor to these unexplained sightings.

Despite the interest and advancements, the core scientific stance remains cautious. The absence of concrete, reproducible evidence means that extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof—something that has yet to be provided convincingly. Many scientists remain open to the possibility of extraterrestrial life but stress that extraordinary claims demand rigorous standards of evidence. Until such evidence is available, the scientific approach continues to treat UFO phenomena as intriguing but unconfirmed anomalies, emphasizing natural explanations and the importance of empirical investigation.

In conclusion, the scientific response to UFO sightings is characterized by skepticism, rigorous analysis, and a commitment to evidence-based conclusions. While public fascination and media influence have played significant roles in shaping UFO phenomena, the scientific community emphasizes that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Continued investigation, improved data collection, and open-minded inquiry are essential, but until definitive proof emerges, UFOs remain a fascinating mystery—one that challenges our understanding of the universe but also demands scientific discipline and rigor.

6. Why Is It Still Important to Remain Critical, Open-Minded, and Objective When Investigating Such Experiences?

Despite my willingness to openly discuss this bizarre phenomenon related to UFO sightings, I must admit that objectively, I find it challenging to see all these strange testimonies as genuine experiences. The core question, however, remains: “Why do people continue to report such encounters?” This is especially perplexing considering their fear of ridicule or being labeled as delusional. Many witnesses are deeply apprehensive; they often request that their reports be kept discreet and their identities remain anonymous. In numerous cases, they don’t even feel comfortable sharing their stories with family, friends, or acquaintances. This reluctance highlights the profound impact of societal prejudices and media portrayals that have, over time, shaped the UFO phenomenon into something laughable or bizarre.

As investigators, should we not maintain an open attitude that allows individuals to share their accounts freely? Offering support and understanding can help these witnesses feel less isolated in their experiences. Giving them a safe space to express themselves without immediate judgment is essential, especially since they might be genuinely confused or frightened by what they’ve encountered. Dismissing their accounts outright or branding them as liars or mentally unstable is neither constructive nor ethical. In the justice system, an individual is considered innocent until proven guilty; shouldn’t we apply the same principle when examining these reports?

If, after thorough investigation, evidence suggests that these experiences are caused by electromagnetic pollution or other types of radiation—such as signals from cell towers, high-voltage lines, underground streams, or natural phenomena—then studying these factors can still be valuable. Such research can help us understand environmental influences on human perception and experience. Even if the actual cause is natural or technological, it contributes positively to our knowledge and potentially aids the witnesses.

The critical question remains: why do witnesses often describe similar objects, entities, and phenomena? If these accounts are mere fantasies, why is there such consistency? Why isn’t there greater diversity in descriptions? Conversely, if even a single case—like a reported abduction—can be verified as genuine, based on the witness’s testimony, then shouldn’t we acknowledge that some encounters might be real?

Interestingly, skeptics sometimes admit that most testimonies are made by reasonably normal individuals without apparent motives. They even argue that if these stories weren’t so bizarre, it would be disrespectful not to trust the witnesses. So, why then, are the experiences of the same individuals not taken seriously? Why aren’t they studied more thoroughly by science or skeptics? These questions highlight the need for an unbiased, open-minded approach that seeks understanding rather than dismissal.

7. Which Ufologists Have Investigated or Are Still Investigating These Unusual UFO Encounters?

The dedicated efforts of qualified ufologists to analyze and interpret abduction experiences among the plethora of UFO reports are few in number but highly significant. These individuals have made substantial contributions to the field by carefully selecting, studying, and debating cases that involve extraordinary encounters with unidentified flying objects and alleged extraterrestrial abductions. Notable among them are pioneers like Aimé Michel and Jacques Vallée from France, who have long been fascinated by the mysteries of the skies. Aimé Michel, renowned for his theories on UFO flight patterns, was one of the first to systematically analyze sightings and their possible connection to extraterrestrial life. Jacques Vallée, now based in the United States, has approached the phenomenon from a scientific and psychological perspective, questioning the nature of UFO encounters rather than accepting them at face value. He has explored the idea that UFOs may be a complex, multi-layered phenomenon involving psychological, cultural, and possibly spiritual dimensions.

From the United Kingdom, notable figures include Gordon Creighton, later joined by Charles Bowen, Hilary Evans, and Jenny Randles. These researchers have contributed through extensive investigations, books, and conferences, aiming to shed light on the mysterious aspects of UFO phenomena and abduction cases. Their work often intersected with broader cultural and scientific debates, attempting to establish a credible framework within which these unexplained experiences could be understood.

In the United States, a distinguished group of investigators has dedicated their careers to studying these phenomena, including Coral and Jim Lorenzen, Ivan Sanderson, John Keel, Budd Hopkins, Jacobs Saunders, and Dr. John Mack. Budd Hopkins, in particular, became famous for his pioneering work on alien abductions, conducting interviews and hypnotic regressions to uncover details of these encounters. Dr. John Mack, a Harvard-educated psychiatrist, took an open-minded approach, believing that these experiences might have profound psychological and spiritual implications. Their collective efforts aimed to validate the reality of abduction experiences, often at great personal and professional risk, as they challenged mainstream scientific and societal norms.

In the Netherlands, Hans van Kampen authored the book “De Gezanten van Hyperion,” which delves into the mysterious encounters and possible extraterrestrial contacts reported in the region. Additionally, therapist Hilda Musch has played a role in helping abductees process their experiences through psychological support. These pioneering ufologists and therapists have been at the forefront of attempting to understand the unknown, risking skepticism and disbelief to explore the truth behind these strange phenomena.

Meanwhile, in the background of these investigations, American researcher Isabelle Davis of NICAP (National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena) quietly collected evidence and clues related to humanoid UFO occupants. Paradoxically, NICAP's initial reaction to abduction cases was to dismiss and ignore them, considering them too bizarre and sensational to warrant serious attention. Having fought for over a decade against media sensationalism, scientific skepticism, and outright disbelief, the organization preferred to focus on more conventional UFO sightings rather than delve into the more controversial realm of abductions and extraterrestrial-human interactions. Stories of gray, zombie-like beings performing medical and reproductive experiments on abductees seemed too outlandish, threatening the credibility of the entire UFO research community.

However, recent developments and more cautious, scientific approaches—such as regression hypnosis, lie detector tests, and detailed victim interviews—have begun to shed new light on the phenomenon. These methods suggest that UFO encounters, especially abductions, may be largely subjective experiences rooted in complex psychological, sociocultural, and possibly neurological factors. Witnesses often insist that, when reporting their experiences, they emphasize their desire for discretion and deny any influence from alcohol, drugs, or medication during the event. This raises intriguing questions: why are so many individuals hesitant, even fearful, to share their encounters? Is it fear of ridicule, social stigma, or a deeper psychological barrier?

If skeptics aimed to dismiss these reports entirely, they may have succeeded in creating an environment of doubt and silence. Yet, as responsible researchers, we have a moral obligation to offer support and understanding to those who come forward. By taking their accounts seriously and seeking plausible, balanced explanations, we foster a more constructive, empathetic approach. Only through such an attitude can we hope to genuinely understand these mysterious phenomena, and perhaps, uncover the truth behind the strange and often frightening experiences of UFO witnesses.

Abductions by Extraterrestrials: Fantasy, Deception, or Reality? - PART II

8.  How Do Ufonauts Behave? An In-Depth Exploration

In most reported landings incidents involving UFOs, the entities associated with these phenomena tend to exhibit behaviors that seem almost comical or bizarre. These beings are often perceived as animals or mindless robots of some sort, acting in ways that defy normal human expectations and logic. Such behaviors have led many to believe that these entities are either unintelligent or merely mechanical constructs, performing repetitive or seemingly purposeless actions during their encounters with humans. However, when it comes to UFO abductions, the behavior of these beings—often referred to as Greys or extraterrestrial entities—appears markedly different. During these abduction experiences, the beings respond in an alert, deliberate, and focused manner, almost as if they are conducting specific experiments or investigations. They seem to act as “emotionless” researchers, executing precise procedures on their “lab-dwelling” subjects, which are, in many cases, humans.

Many individuals who have been abducted report that during their encounters, they felt that these entities were part of a larger, interconnected whole. Witnesses often describe the sense that these beings are not isolated but are instead integral components of a more extensive life form or collective consciousness. This perception suggests that their motivations and behaviors might be driven by a set of complex, perhaps collective, objectives that go beyond mere curiosity or simple exploration.

There’s got to be a perfectly logical explanation for this.

The history of UFO sightings and encounters extends far back in time, with significant waves of sightings recorded throughout the 20th century. The first notable worldwide UFO wave occurred in 1954, a period marked by numerous landings and sightings across France, Italy, and South America. Interestingly, the earliest known photograph of a UFO in Belgium was also taken in 1954, over the city of Namur, aligning with this early wave of sightings. Similarly, in 1955, numerous reports of UFOs were made over the town of Lotenhulle in Belgium, adding to the global pattern of early sightings.

One of the most systematic studies of these early incidents was conducted by the French researcher Jacques Vallée. In 1954, Vallée compiled and analyzed 200 reports of UFO landings from around the world, applying rigorous scientific scrutiny. His analysis revealed that in approximately 8 out of these 200 cases—about 4%—witnesses described the beings as either small humanoids or giants, sometimes covered with hair. An even more startling aspect of these encounters was the physical response experienced by witnesses: over 75% of those reporting close encounters stated they felt “paralyzed” or completely powerless to move in the presence of these entities. Despite the frequency of such reports, the physical and medical implications of these encounters were rarely taken seriously by the scientific community or authorities, and detailed investigations into these effects were seldom conducted. This neglect persisted even though thousands of individuals worldwide claimed to have been abducted or otherwise interacted with these beings.

Long before the modern era of UFO sightings, reports of strange, greyish entities—often called Big Eyes Monsters (BEMS)—were already circulating. These creatures, not fully human, were described as having large eyes and sometimes bizarre features. Vallée’s book “Passport to Magonia” catalogs hundreds of such landings and sightings, stretching back centuries. These stories suggest that encounters with strange beings are not new phenomena but are part of a long continuum of human experience with the unknown. Over time, the descriptions of these entities have evolved, shaped by cultural and linguistic changes. Ancient civilizations called them gods, dwarfs, angels, or demons, while in our current space age, they are often referred to as extraterrestrials or abductees’ “aliens.”

Historical UFO flaps in the late 19th and early 20th centuries also contribute to this ongoing mystery. In 1896 and 1897, and again in 1905 and 1909, sightings of strange, Zeppelin-like airships were reported. Analysis of these incidents revealed a peculiar pattern: the crews of these anomalous flying objects often left behind mundane objects—newspapers, shoes, even peeled potatoes—on the ground after their flights. These artifacts seemed to serve as deliberate signals or messages, as if the craft were trying to demonstrate that they originated from Earth or had some connection to it. Theories abounded that these sightings might be the work of secret inventors testing experimental aircraft, fueling speculation about hidden technological advancements during that time. Nonetheless, many of these reports lacked comprehensive details, leading to skepticism and questions about their authenticity.

The challenge with historical UFO reports is that eyewitnesses and researchers did not always record all the details or characteristics of these sightings. Some details were perhaps intentionally omitted, either to preserve credibility or because the observers did not notice them at the time. Modern journalists and investigators often encounter similar issues today. They tend to omit or dismiss extraordinary details in current UFO reports, either to protect the perceived credibility of their articles or to avoid discrediting witnesses. Sometimes, even seemingly mundane sightings—such as strange lights in the sky—are subject to requests for confidentiality or discreet handling, highlighting the persistent fear of ridicule or skepticism. It’s not uncommon for witnesses to be asked to keep their reports quiet or to avoid sharing them publicly, even in 2011, illustrating how deeply ingrained the skepticism remains.

During wartime, reports of “foo fighters”—mysterious lights accompanying military aircraft—became widespread. Both Allied and Axis forces believed these lights to be secret weapons or enemy technology. Recent revelations have shown that Winston Churchill himself requested that reports of UFO sightings be kept confidential to prevent panic. After World War II, sightings of “Ghost Rockets” over Scandinavia and other parts of Europe increased, with many reports describing strange, unidentifiable objects in the sky. American and British authorities conducted investigations into these phenomena but have yet to reach definitive conclusions; some hypotheses suggest they could have been tests of Soviet missile technology or experimental aircraft.

In 1965, a new wave of UFO sightings swept through Mexico and the world. Mexican newspapers reported encounters with strange beings—described as tall, humanoid creatures with glowing eyes, no visible nose or mouth, and large, triangular heads adorned with short horns. Witnesses often described these entities as being at least three meters tall. The most famous case involved three women from a suburb of Mexico City, who claimed to have seen these beings and later panicked, fleeing to the police. Similar sightings were reported elsewhere in Latin America, including Brazil, where some creatures were allegedly captured or observed in the wild.

One of the most compelling and well-documented cases occurred in Brazil in early 1996, in the town of Varginha. Over several weeks, multiple witnesses reported seeing strange, alien-like creatures—described as short, with dark, hairless skin, large triangular heads, three short horns, and enormous red, vertical oval eyes. The Brazilian military reportedly captured at least two of these beings alive near Varginha, and there are claims that a UFO crashed in the area, adding to the intrigue. The military authorities attempted to keep details secret, but thanks to dedicated researchers like Dr. Ubiraja Franco Rodrigues and Vitorio Paccaccini, some information eventually leaked out. Their investigations suggest that these beings were not only real but part of a larger phenomenon involving government cover-ups and unidentified aerial craft.

As you can see, stories about strange encounters and bizarre sightings periodically resurface, often gaining new life through media attention and public fascination. For serious, objective, and critical researchers, it is essential to approach these stories with an open mind but also with caution. The question remains: why do people continue to tell such bizarre and often unbelievable stories? Are they mistaken, deluded, or perhaps motivated by other factors? Or could there be a deeper truth behind these recurring reports that we have yet to fully understand? What is clear is that the phenomenon of UFOs and their associated behaviors remains one of the most intriguing and elusive mysteries of our time, demanding careful investigation and open-minded skepticism.

9. How to Respond to Such Stories?

For many decades, the majority of UFO researchers and enthusiasts chose to ignore reports of unusual sightings and encounters, often opting not to publish these accounts in their scientific journals or magazines. When they did address these stories, they frequently dismissed them as speculative nonsense—often more bizarre than the original reports themselves. Some researchers even went so far as to distort or modify the original descriptions of UFO sightings, painting them as encounters with “little green men” instead of the more detailed, sometimes alarming descriptions originally provided by witnesses. This manipulation—altering the content of reports to fit a preconceived theory or narrative—indicates a troubling lack of objectivity, honesty, and fairness toward the witnesses and their testimonies. Such biases threaten the integrity of UFO research, yet they remain a persistent issue today.

From personal experience, I know that this remains an ongoing problem within the field. Take, for example, a specific case that we investigated together. Witnesses described an oval-shaped object adorned with around ten lights. When a skeptical colleague, who assumed it was merely an aircraft—perhaps a plane on the landing approach to the nearby airport—proposed that the lights must be fewer than described, the number of lights was reduced to just two. Our colleague at BUFON, a retired engineer with years of investigative experience, had identified an electromagnetic anomaly during the sighting with his custom-built instruments. However, rather than accepting this scientifically significant finding, some colleagues attempted to discredit him by suggesting that he was unreliable—claiming he had not answered all their questions about his measurement devices. Perhaps they believed he simply didn't understand the engineering explanations, or maybe they sought to undermine his credibility. This kind of skepticism complicates cooperation among researchers with differing perspectives, especially when one side pursues objective investigation while the other is more interested in confirming preconceived notions.

I could write pages about investigators studying bizarre abduction cases and others who dismiss or ridicule such reports as nonsense. The topic has become more open for discussion, especially with the advent of the internet, which provides a platform for witnesses to share their experiences anonymously and more freely. Victims of these encounters have gathered on certain websites, exchanging thoughts and supporting each other through shared pain and confusion. As the saying goes, “Shared pain is halved pain.” This sense of community offers comfort and validation to those who might otherwise feel isolated or dismissed.

Skeptics tend to compare abductees and other experiencers to mystics from bygone centuries. Both groups claim to have had profound, sometimes supernatural, experiences that others are denied or unable to verify. These skeptics argue that the primary evidence for such encounters is the witness’s belief that it happened, along with their personal account. They dismiss the reports because they see no objective proof—no tangible, scientific evidence—only faith in the stories told. According to these doubters, the fact that mystics’ descriptions of their visions and experiences are remarkably similar across different cultures and historical periods does not serve as proof of their authenticity. Instead, they suggest that these similarities reflect a commonality in human experience—such as birth, sexuality, and death—that transcend specific spiritual or mystical claims.

Historical sources support the skeptics’ view, noting that many alleged abductions by extraterrestrial beings resemble medieval stories of monks and nuns who believed they had been tempted by demons or devils. These monks often thought they were seduced by evil spirits; ancient Greek women claimed to have had sexual encounters with animals; and during later centuries, people accused of witchcraft believed they had been involved in diabolical rituals. The priests and religious authorities of those times, rather than questioning these stories, often encouraged and reinforced them. They did not see these visions as symptoms of mental illness, but as real encounters with supernatural entities. Tragically, many of these supposed victims were subjected to torture, forced confessions, and ultimately execution—burned at the stake or drowned, often with little or no real evidence of their guilt.

Thankfully, modern society does not execute or torture alleged UFO abductees, but skeptics and mainstream science still attempt to diminish their experiences. They often dismiss reports as hallucinations, wishful thinking, deception, or even deliberate fabrications. Some go as far as suggesting that these experiences are the result of psychiatric disorders, particularly delusional or paranoid states. All these tactics serve one purpose: to discredit and destroy the credibility of witnesses and investigators alike, in an effort to dismiss the phenomenon entirely.

The physical evidence cited by some abductees—such as scars or implants—are often ridiculed or outright denied by skeptics, who regard them as mere earthly injuries or artifacts. They dismiss claims of implants as nothing more than mundane objects or surgical souvenirs, lacking any connection to extraterrestrial activity. Even when evidence suggests otherwise, skeptics tend to reject it systematically.

The media’s portrayal of UFOs, abductions, and related phenomena further complicates matters. Their dismissive attitude fosters fear and reluctance among witnesses to come forward publicly. People are often hesitant to share their experiences, fearing ridicule or disbelief from the public or scientific community.

The fundamental goal of skeptical researchers seems to be to find a mundane, terrestrial explanation for all strange phenomena—regardless of the evidence—rather than genuinely seeking the truth. Their aim appears to be the preservation of existing doctrines and beliefs, dismissing any data that contradicts their worldview. Genuine investigators who attempt to understand and help victims by exploring all possible causes are often dismissed as frauds or charlatans. Who, then, truly suffers from a mental health disorder? Is it the individual who reports a strange experience and seeks understanding or the researcher who dismisses their story outright? Or perhaps the skeptic, who refuses to accept any evidence outside their rigid framework?

In conclusion, how we respond to stories of UFO sightings and abductions depends largely on our perspective and willingness to consider the extraordinary as potentially real. While skepticism is healthy and necessary for scientific progress, it must be balanced with empathy and openness to unexplained phenomena. Dismissing witnesses outright or ridiculing their experiences not only undermines the pursuit of truth but also dismisses the suffering and curiosity of those who seek answers. Ultimately, understanding the phenomenon requires an open mind, rigorous investigation, and a respectful acknowledgment of the complex, often baffling experiences individuals report.

10. Decision

In this document, I aim to present a comprehensive and balanced overview of my perspective on the ongoing debate surrounding phenomena that are often labeled as paranormal or esoteric. While I have, at times, used strong language to critique certain skeptics, I encourage a deeper understanding of the underlying issues by referencing the book “Dictionary for a Skeptic.” This publication sheds light on the mindset and methodologies of skeptics who often dismiss extraordinary claims without fully exploring their validity. It is important to distinguish between healthy skepticism—characterized by critical thinking and open-minded investigation—and outright denial or dismissal based on preconceived notions.

I hold respect and understanding for all researchers and investigators, regardless of their viewpoints. As long as their work is conducted with honesty, integrity, and fairness, I support their efforts. Constructive criticism is also valuable, and I believe that scientific progress relies on open dialogue and mutual respect. Fortunately, the days when believers and investigators of extraordinary phenomena had to operate in secrecy or be marginalized by mainstream media are largely behind us. Today, thanks to the internet, blogs, and various online platforms, individuals can freely share their experiences and findings without the fear of ridicule or censorship. This democratization of information has opened new avenues for dialogue and discovery.

However, I am deeply concerned about the role of skeptics who, in my view, engage in a malicious attempt to diminish hope and confidence among ordinary people. Their tactics often involve dismissing practices like acupuncture—an ancient Chinese healing method that has been used for thousands of years—as mere placebo effect. They overlook the historical fact that traditional medicine, including herbal remedies, was once the dominant form of treatment before the advent of modern pharmaceuticals. Similarly, critics tend to reduce homeopathy to a placebo, neglecting its long-standing use and the cultural context in which it developed.

My position is driven by a desire to maintain hope and optimism. I prefer to see myself as a “hopeful believer,” rather than a frustrated skeptic. I believe that our collective quest should be to find common ground—a middle path—where we can study, analyze, and understand these strange phenomena in a logical and scientifically sound manner. Such an approach would allow us to develop solutions and explanations that are acceptable to all, fostering unity rather than division.

Nevertheless, I am aware that the concept of utopia—the perfect world—is perhaps an idealistic dream. It raises the question of whether such perfection is attainable or merely an illusion. Despite this, I remain hopeful that through continued open-minded research and respectful dialogue, we can make meaningful progress. In the end, our shared goal should be to seek truth, understanding, and harmony in exploring the mysteries that surround us, always mindful of the need for critical thinking balanced with an open heart.

This comprehensive overview serves as my formal conclusion, emphasizing the importance of mutual respect, open-mindedness, and the pursuit of knowledge in the ongoing quest to understand phenomena beyond conventional science.

ABDUCTIONS BY ALIENS : FANTASY, HOAX OR REALITY- PART I

1. Introduction

The phenomenon of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and alleged extraterrestrial encounters has captivated public imagination and scientific inquiry for decades. Central to this enigmatic domain are reports from individuals claiming to have experienced abductions by extraterrestrial beings, often involving medical and reproductive experiments. These accounts are frequently supported by personal testimonies and anecdotal evidence, contributing to a complex web of narratives that challenge conventional scientific understanding. Such stories have become a significant component of modern ufology, a field that explores these unexplained phenomena from various perspectives.

Research in this area suggests that these reports are not isolated incidents but form a widespread cultural phenomenon. For instance, surveys conducted in the late 1990s in the United States revealed that over 33% of the population believed in some form of extraterrestrial visitation, indicating a substantial societal belief in these phenomena. This pervasive belief has influenced popular culture, media, and even governmental interest, leading to a proliferation of theories and conspiracy narratives. The depiction of extraterrestrials varies widely—from humanoid entities with hairy features to the iconic “Greys” with large black eyes—and the typical sighting involves flying saucers or other unidentified aerial phenomena. Witnesses often describe witnessing landings, observing beings exiting spacecraft, or experiencing sudden disappearances, which further fuels the intrigue and mystery.

One of the most historically significant events associated with UFO lore is the 1947 Roswell incident, where an alleged crash of an unidentified object was reported, with claims that it involved alien occupants recovered by the U.S. military. This incident, along with clandestine activities such as alleged secret meetings at Area 51, has played a pivotal role in shaping public perception and conspiracy theories surrounding extraterrestrial life and government cover-ups. As these stories gained prominence, they blurred the lines between science fiction and alleged reality, prompting ongoing debates about their credibility.

From a scientific standpoint, skepticism remains predominant. Many researchers and scientists argue that the vast majority of UFO reports can be explained by natural phenomena, psychological factors, or misidentifications. The lack of verifiable physical evidence and the reliance on anecdotal testimonies have led skeptics to dismiss these claims as fantasies, illusions, or hoaxes. Despite the skepticism, belief in extraterrestrial encounters persists among a significant segment of the population, fueling an ongoing debate about the existence of extraterrestrial life and the validity of abduction phenomena. This divergence between belief and scientific skepticism underscores the enduring mystery and fascination surrounding UFOs and alien abductions, making it a compelling subject for continued investigation and discussion.

2. Which descriptions of aliens do we find all over?

The descriptions of extraterrestrial beings reported across various accounts and cultures are remarkably diverse, yet certain recurring themes and archetypes have emerged that suggest commonalities in how humans perceive these entities. These descriptions often reflect the cultural context, popular media influences, and individual psychological factors at play during these encounters. To better understand this phenomenon, it is essential to explore the most frequently reported types of aliens and their characteristics, as well as consider the implications of these descriptions on our understanding of extraterrestrial life.

One of the most prevalent alien types in reports worldwide is the so-called “Grey,” or “Gray,” being. These entities are typically described as being approximately 1.20 to 1.50 meters tall, with slender, elongated bodies and disproportionately large heads. Their skin is often depicted as smooth, grayish, and hairless, with a conspicuous absence of visible ears, noses, or mouths. The most distinctive feature of the Greys is their large, black, almond-shaped eyes—sometimes described as slanted or heavily lid-covered—that dominate their facial features. These beings are usually reported as emotionless or impassive, with a serene yet unsettling demeanor. Their limbs are long and thin, with small, delicate hands and fingers, sometimes described as having three or four digits. The Grey’s appearance has become almost synonymous with alien abduction reports, and their image has been reinforced through countless books, movies, and media portrayals.

Beyond the Greys, other alien descriptions include the “Nordic” or “Tall Whites,” often depicted as humanoid beings resembling humans but with strikingly idealized features. Nordics are typically described as tall (up to 2 meters), with fair skin, long flowing blonde hair, and blue eyes. They are often portrayed as friendly, benevolent, and even spiritual beings who seek to guide humanity or assist in our evolution. Their appearance resembles the stereotypical “Aryan” ideal, which may reflect cultural influences and hopes for a more utopian interaction with extraterrestrial intelligences. Some reports suggest that Nordics possess an aura of calmness and wisdom, and are sometimes seen as protectors or teachers.

https://otherworlders.com/nordic-aliens/

Another intriguing group of reported aliens includes the “Lilliputian” or “Elf-like” beings. These tiny entities are described as only a few tens of centimeters tall, with delicate, pointy features, large eyes, and sometimes wings or other fantastical characteristics. Their diminutive size and elf-like appearance often evoke imagery from folklore and fairy tales, blurring the line between myth and alleged alien encounters. These beings are sometimes thought to be interdimensional or spiritual entities rather than extraterrestrial visitors from distant planets.

In addition to these archetypes, certain reports describe entities that appear transparent or see-through, sometimes with visible skeletal structures or internal organs. These entities can be perceived as ghostly or ethereal, and their presence challenges conventional notions of physicality. Other reports mention large, sluggish, glowing “men”—sometimes with a single eye centered on their foreheads—resembling beings from science fiction or myth. Such descriptions often evoke feelings of awe, fear, or curiosity, and they tend to be associated with phenomena that are difficult to categorize scientifically.

Descriptions of aliens are not limited to visual appearances alone. Some witnesses report their encounters with entities that exhibit telepathic communication, manipulative abilities, or other supernatural traits. For example, some describe beings with elongated limbs and large eyes that communicate silently through mental impressions, rather than spoken language. Others mention entities that appear friendly and helpful, offering messages of peace or warnings about environmental destruction. These varied descriptions reflect the complex and multifaceted nature of human perceptions of alien life.

The consistency of certain descriptions across different cultures and time periods suggests that there may be underlying psychological or cultural factors influencing these reports. For example, the prominence of the Grey archetype in Western cultures may be linked to popular media representations, with their distinctive features becoming a kind of “universal” alien image. Conversely, descriptions of Nordic beings may stem from cultural ideals of beauty and spirituality, projecting human hopes and aspirations onto extraterrestrial visitors.

It is also important to consider that some descriptions could be influenced by sleep paralysis, hallucinations, or psychological phenomena that mimic alien encounters. Skeptics argue that many reports are the result of vivid imaginations, misinterpretations of natural phenomena, or even deliberate fabrications. However, believers maintain that the consistency and detail of many accounts suggest genuine encounters, often supported by physical evidence such as scars, implants, or photographs.

In summary, the descriptions of aliens vary widely but tend to cluster around certain archetypes: the emotionless, large-eyed Greys; the benevolent, tall Nordics; the tiny, elf-like beings; and the ethereal, see-through entities. These descriptions reveal much about human psychology, cultural influences, and societal fears or hopes regarding extraterrestrial life. Whether viewed as literal beings or symbolic representations of our collective unconscious, these reports continue to fascinate and perplex researchers, fueling ongoing debates about the existence and nature of extraterrestrial intelligence. As scientific exploration advances, it remains crucial to approach these accounts with both an open mind and a critical eye, seeking empirical evidence while acknowledging the profound influence of human perception and imagination.

3. Who Encounters UFOs? An Examination of Witnesses and Their Credibility

The question of who encounters unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and how their accounts are perceived is a complex issue that intersects with psychology, sociology, and scientific inquiry. Skeptics frequently argue that sightings are predominantly made by unreliable individuals, such as children or people with questionable credibility, and sometimes by otherwise reputable professionals, including police officers, doctors, lawyers, astronomers, pilots, and astronauts. Interestingly, multiple reports from astronauts—considered some of the most credible witnesses due to their extensive training, expertise, and experience—challenge this dismissive assumption and suggest that UFO encounters are not confined to untrained or unreliable witnesses alone.

The etymology of the term “skeptic” originates from the Greek “skepsis,” which means doubt or inquiry. In modern usage, skeptics tend to approach phenomena outside established scientific paradigms with suspicion, often demanding rigorous evidence before accepting any claims. This cautious stance, while valuable in scientific discourse, can sometimes lead to the outright dismissal of reports that do not fit within mainstream scientific understanding. Herman Boel’s “The Skeptic’s Dictionary” provides an extensive collection of definitions and critiques concerning various topics, including UFO phenomena, illustrating the skeptical tendency to interpret reports through a lens of disbelief. Critics of skepticism argue that such an approach can be overly dismissive and that it risks ignoring potentially valuable data simply because it does not conform to current scientific dogma.

A significant issue arises when considering the credibility of witnesses. Many individuals who report UFO encounters hold positions of responsibility and societal importance—such as law enforcement officers, medical professionals, military personnel, and pilots—whose testimonies often carry substantial weight. These individuals are trained to observe and assess phenomena, yet their accounts are sometimes dismissed as hallucinations, misinterpretations, or fabrications. The irony lies in the fact that many of these witnesses have undergone extensive training in observation and are responsible for public safety, suggesting that their reports deserve serious scientific and investigative consideration rather than outright skepticism.

Furthermore, the reports of astronauts encountering UFOs are particularly noteworthy. Given their extensive training in observation, navigation, and scientific measurement, their accounts are often regarded as more credible than those of civilians. Several astronauts, including Edgar Mitchell, Gordon Cooper, and others, have publicly spoken about their experiences with unidentified objects during space missions or training exercises. Their testimonies challenge the assumption that UFO reports are solely the domain of unreliable or deluded individuals. Instead, they highlight that even highly trained and experienced professionals can and do encounter phenomena that they cannot readily explain, prompting further inquiry rather than dismissal.

Despite the significant number of witnesses from diverse backgrounds, the scientific community has historically been cautious or even dismissive regarding UFO reports. This skepticism is partly driven by the lack of rigorous, universally accepted scientific evidence. While thousands of books, documentaries, and anecdotes have been produced on UFO phenomena, the scientific establishment demands empirical data, reproducibility, and theoretical consistency—criteria that most UFO reports have yet to meet fully. This has led to a divide between anecdotal reports and scientific validation, fostering ongoing debates about the nature of these encounters.

The media and popular culture often portray UFOs as the domain of “little green men” or as unlikely and unreliable phenomena, which influences public perception and the scientific community’s response. However, the persistence of credible reports from trained professionals, military personnel, and astronauts suggests that the phenomenon warrants further scientific investigation rather than outright dismissal. The issue of abduction experiences adds another layer of complexity, as these accounts often involve personal, psychological, and physiological elements that challenge conventional scientific explanations.

In conclusion, the question of who encounters UFOs is not limited to the stereotypical vision of unreliable witnesses but encompasses a broad spectrum of individuals, including highly trained professionals and scientists. Their reports challenge the dismissive attitude often held by skeptics and point to the necessity of an open-minded, scientifically rigorous approach. Recognizing the credibility of diverse witnesses and systematically studying these phenomena could potentially lead to groundbreaking discoveries about our universe and the nature of unexplained aerial phenomena. As such, the encounters reported by a wide array of individuals—including some of the most credible witnesses—should be taken seriously and investigated thoroughly, rather than dismissed out of hand.

4. Why Does Science Show Little Interest in Unidentified Flying Objects?

The primary reason for the limited scientific engagement with UFO phenomena lies in the perception of ufology as an unscientific or pseudoscientific field. Historically, mainstream science has prioritized hypotheses and research grounded in empirical evidence, reproducibility, and falsifiability. Many phenomena associated with UFOs lack these qualities, leading scientists to regard the subject with skepticism or outright dismissiveness. Ufology, often characterized as a hobby or a domain for enthusiasts and amateurs, struggles to attain the status of a rigorous scientific discipline.

A significant obstacle to scientific acceptance is the perception that UFO reports are anecdotal, subjective, and heavily influenced by cultural, psychological, and perceptual biases. Skeptics like Paul Kurtz have argued that ufology functions more as modern mythology than as a scientific pursuit. Kurtz famously described ufology as “the mythology of the space age,” equating it with traditional mythologies that serve poetic or existential functions but lack empirical substantiation. He suggests that contemporary UFO stories—like angel or demon myths—are culturally constructed narratives that reflect collective fears, hopes, or fantasies rather than objective realities.

This perspective draws on the understanding that human perception and cognition are susceptible to biases, which can shape the interpretation of ambiguous stimuli such as strange lights or unexplained sightings. For example, cultural background, prior beliefs, and psychological state influence how individuals perceive and report UFO encounters. The term “UFO” itself is a broad category encompassing a wide variety of visual phenomena, often described differently depending on cultural context, personal experience, or even language. Just as the word “car” universally refers to a mode of transportation, descriptions of UFOs are filtered through individual interpretative frameworks.

Despite the proliferation of literature and anecdotal reports, rigorous scientific investigation into abduction cases remains scarce. Many reports are dismissed as hallucinations, delusions, or psychological disturbances. The absence of controlled, reproducible evidence makes it difficult for scientists to approach these phenomena with confidence. Researchers are often wary of engaging with UFO reports because doing so risks damaging their credibility within the scientific community, which tends to prioritize evidence that can be objectively tested and verified.

The stigma surrounding UFO research has historically served as a barrier to serious scientific inquiry. Many scientists fear that association with UFOs might lead to ridicule or marginalization, especially given the history of sensationalism and pseudoscience that has often characterized the field. This cautious attitude is reinforced by the tendency of skeptics and critics to dismiss even well-documented cases as illusions, hallucinations, or the product of mental health issues.

In recent decades, however, the advent of the internet and digital communication has begun to shift this landscape. Online platforms allow witnesses and researchers to share their experiences more openly, bypassing traditional media censorship and gatekeeping. This democratization of information has led to increased documentation of phenomena that were previously dismissed or ignored. Pioneering researchers like Budd Hopkins, Dr. John Mack, and others have contributed significantly to the body of knowledge surrounding UFOs and alien abductions. For example, Dr. John Mack, a Harvard psychiatrist, conducted in-depth interviews with individuals claiming to have experienced abductions, and he publicly expressed belief in their sincerity after thorough investigation.

Despite these efforts, skepticism remains entrenched within the scientific community. Critics often attempt to discredit researchers through personal attacks or by questioning their credentials. Some skeptics argue that abduction reports are the result of sleep paralysis, hallucinations, or psychological conditions such as dissociative identity disorder. Physical evidence, such as scars, implants, or unusual marks, is frequently explained away as mundane injuries or natural phenomena. Skeptics tend to dismiss physical traces as terrestrial in origin—scars from mundane injuries, natural skin anomalies, or even contamination.

Furthermore, the scientific method requires that evidence be reproducible and subjected to peer review. Because UFO phenomena are inherently unpredictable and often rely on anecdotal accounts, they are difficult to study systematically. This challenge discourages many scientists from dedicating resources or time to the field, further entrenching its outsider status.

In addition to scientific skepticism, societal and cultural factors play a significant role in shaping the level of interest. Popular media, Hollywood movies, and conspiracy theories have often sensationalized UFOs, emphasizing their mysterious and extraterrestrial aspects. While these representations generate public fascination, they often distort or oversimplify the scientific complexities involved. As a result, the public’s perception of UFO phenomena is frequently colored by entertainment rather than scientific inquiry, creating a gap between popular culture and scientific understanding.

Nevertheless, the increasing availability of open platforms and the rise of citizen science initiatives have begun to change the landscape. Witnesses can now share their experiences anonymously or within communities that foster critical discussion. This has led to a more nuanced view of UFO phenomena, encouraging some researchers to approach the subject with a more open yet scientifically rigorous mindset.

In conclusion, the limited interest of mainstream science in UFO phenomena stems from a combination of skepticism about the reliability of reports, cultural biases, methodological challenges, and historical associations with pseudoscience. While recent technological and societal developments have facilitated greater openness, significant barriers remain. For science to genuinely engage with UFOs as a legitimate area of investigation, it requires the development of rigorous methodologies, standardized data collection, and a willingness to consider anomalous data without prejudice. Only through such efforts can the scientific community hope to understand whether these phenomena represent genuine encounters with the unknown or are simply manifestations of human perception and cultural imagination

5. Why Are Critical, Open-Minded, and Objective Investigations Necessary?

Despite personal skepticism regarding some reports of unusual phenomena, it is crucial to recognize the importance of conducting investigations with an open mind. Scientific inquiry is predicated on the principles of objectivity, skepticism, and rigorous analysis. When examining reports of unidentified objects or encounters, researchers must balance healthy skepticism with openness to possibilities that challenge conventional understanding. Witness testimonies often contain elements of fear, shame, or secrecy; many individuals prefer to keep their experiences private due to concerns about ridicule, disbelief, or social stigma. As a result, these accounts may be incomplete, exaggerated, or influenced by psychological factors. Nonetheless, dismissing such reports outright risks overlooking valuable data that could shed light on unknown natural or psychological phenomena.

From a scientific standpoint, it is essential to approach these reports systematically, employing methodologies that include careful documentation, cross-verification, and analysis of physical evidence. Researchers have an ethical obligation to listen attentively, demonstrate respect for the witnesses, and avoid premature conclusions. This approach fosters an environment where witnesses feel safe to share their experiences, which can lead to more accurate and comprehensive data collection. Furthermore, scientific investigations often involve examining terrestrial explanations—such as atmospheric anomalies, electromagnetic interference, or optical illusions—to determine if natural causes can account for the phenomena described. Even when these investigations reveal natural explanations, they contribute significantly to our understanding of the environment and human perception.

A central question driving scientific inquiry is: why do multiple witnesses report similar descriptions of objects, beings, or experiences? If these reports are merely products of imagination or psychological projection, why do descriptions often show remarkable convergence across different individuals and contexts? This consistency suggests that there may be underlying factors—whether psychological, perceptual, or physical—that influence these reports. Alternatively, if some cases are genuine, it raises critical questions about the nature of reality and the limitations of our current scientific knowledge.

Even skeptics acknowledge that many witnesses are ordinary people without apparent motives or incentives to fabricate their stories. Interestingly, some accounts—if less bizarre—would likely be deemed credible and worthy of further scientific scrutiny. This discrepancy prompts a vital question: why are the experiences of these witnesses often dismissed or not subjected to rigorous scientific investigation? Biases within scientific and societal communities can lead to the marginalization of such reports, hindering the pursuit of objective understanding.

In conclusion, adopting a critical, open-minded, and objective approach is essential in investigating unexplained phenomena. Such an approach ensures that all data—regardless of initial credibility—are examined thoroughly and fairly. It allows science to expand its frontiers without prematurely dismissing phenomena that could challenge or enrich our understanding of the universe. By maintaining a balance of skepticism and curiosity, researchers can contribute to a more comprehensive and nuanced understanding of these complex phenomena.

6. Why Is Objective and Critical Investigation Essential?

While I am open to examining these phenomena, I recognize the inherent challenges involved in discerning authentic experiences from potential misinterpretations or fabrications. The core question remains: “Why do people continue to report these experiences?” Despite fears of ridicule or social stigmatization, many witnesses choose to share their stories, often requesting confidentiality due to feelings of vulnerability or concern about societal skepticism. These individuals may be hesitant to disclose their experiences even to close friends or family members, influenced by media portrayals that sensationalize such phenomena and by societal biases that dismiss or stigmatize these reports.

Objective and critical investigation is essential because it provides a systematic approach to understanding these reports. It involves applying scientific methods—such as controlled observations, reproducibility of phenomena, and empirical data collection—to evaluate the validity of the claims. Such an approach helps distinguish between genuine phenomena and psychological or environmental factors that might cause misinterpretations. For example, phenomena like sleep paralysis or hallucinations can sometimes be mistaken for supernatural encounters; understanding their neurophysiological basis aids in demystifying reports without dismissing the experiences outright.

Furthermore, investigating these reports openly and rigorously can lead to discoveries about human perception, consciousness, and environmental influences that are not yet fully understood. Cross-cultural similarities in descriptions suggest underlying patterns worthy of scientific inquiry. Even when investigations conclude that natural explanations exist, this contributes valuable knowledge to the scientific community and offers potential relief or understanding to those affected.

In conclusion, balancing skepticism with open-mindedness is crucial. Objective investigation does not imply accepting all reports uncritically but involves a respectful, methodical approach that acknowledges subjective experiences while seeking natural explanations. This approach fosters trust, advances scientific knowledge, and ensures that individuals’ experiences are taken seriously rather than dismissed outright, ultimately enriching our understanding of human perception and consciousness.

7. Which Ufologists Have Studied These Phenomena?

The investigation of abduction phenomena and unusual UFO experiences has attracted a relatively small but highly dedicated group of researchers over the past several decades. These individuals have contributed significantly to our understanding of extraterrestrial contact, often operating at the fringes of mainstream science due to the controversial nature of their work. Their efforts have included rigorous field investigations, case studies, and theoretical modeling, all aimed at understanding the complex and often perplexing phenomena associated with UFO abductions.

Notable figures in this field include Aimé Michel and Jacques Vallée from France. Aimé Michel was one of the earliest serious UFO researchers, authoring influential works such as The Truth About Flying Saucers, where he analyzed patterns in sightings and proposed theories about extraterrestrial visitation. Jacques Vallée, a prominent French-born researcher, expanded the scientific approach to UFOs with books like Passport to Magonia and The Invisible College. Vallée challenged the purely extraterrestrial hypothesis, suggesting instead that UFO phenomena might involve complex, multidimensional influences or consciousness-based phenomena. His work emphasized the importance of interdisciplinary research, combining psychology, physics, and folklore.

From the United Kingdom, Gordon Creighton, Charles Bowen, Hilary Evans, and Jenny Randles have made notable contributions. Jenny Randles, in particular, has authored numerous books such as UFOs: The Inside Story and The New Human, which explore the psychological and physical aspects of abduction experiences. Evans and Bowen contributed to understanding the cultural and social dimensions of UFO encounters, emphasizing the importance of narrative and perception.

In the United States, pioneering investigators such as Coral and Jim Lorenzen founded the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization (APRO), which documented numerous UFO sightings and abduction reports. Ivan Sanderson, known for his book Abominable Snowmen: Legend Come to Life, explored cryptozoological aspects that sometimes intersect with UFO phenomena. John Keel’s The Mothman Prophecies examined the interconnectedness of paranormal phenomena, including UFO encounters, suggesting a complex web of interdimensional influences. Budd Hopkins became one of the most well-known abduction researchers, authoring Missing Time and Intruders, where he documented numerous case histories and introduced the concept of repressed memories of abduction. Dr. John Mack, a Harvard psychiatrist, took a more clinical approach with works like Abduction: Human Encounters with Aliens, arguing that abduction experiences could have profound psychological and spiritual significance.

In addition to these American researchers, Hans van Kampen from the Netherlands contributed to European UFO studies, focusing on sightings and cultural influences, while Hilda Musch has been involved in documenting regional reports and fostering international dialogue.

These pioneers risked their professional reputations by venturing into what was often considered fringe science. Their work often challenged mainstream scientific paradigms, which tend to dismiss UFO and abduction phenomena as psychological anomalies or hoaxes. Nevertheless, their persistence has helped to expand the scope of UFO research beyond simple sighting reports to include abduction experiences, psychological impacts, and potential multidimensional or interdimensional explanations.

The field of abduction research has also been shaped by notable psychologists and researchers outside of traditional UFO circles. For example, Dr. John Mack, as mentioned earlier, was influenced by the work of Carl Jung, who emphasized the importance of archetypes and the collective unconscious in understanding paranormal phenomena. Mack’s extensive interviews with abductees provided compelling evidence that these experiences might serve as meaningful psychological or spiritual events, rather than mere hallucinations or fabrications.

Contemporary researchers have continued to build on these foundational studies. Notable among them are David M. Jacobs, a historian and UFO researcher, who authored Secret Life: Firsthand Accounts of UFO Abductions and Walking Among Us. Jacobs has focused on the systematic analysis of abduction cases, proposing that these encounters may be part of a larger, ongoing extraterrestrial program with biological and social implications. Similarly, researchers like John E. Mack and Budd Hopkins have emphasized the importance of empathy and careful case documentation, often employing hypnosis to recover memories of abduction.

The influence of these researchers is also evident in the broader field of consciousness studies. For instance, the work of Dean Radin, author of The Conscious Universe, explores the role of consciousness and mind in understanding UFO phenomena, suggesting that perceptions of abduction and contact might involve altered states of consciousness or non-local interactions.

Furthermore, the rise of the internet has democratized access to information about UFO and abduction phenomena. Many contemporary researchers and experiencers now share their data openly online, fostering a global community of inquiry. This openness has led to the emergence of independent investigators and citizen scientists who contribute valuable case reports, analysis, and theories, often challenging official narratives.

In summary, the study of UFO abductions has been shaped by a diverse group of researchers, from early pioneers like Aimé Michel and Jacques Vallée to modern investigators such as David Jacobs and John Mack. Their collective work has pushed the boundaries of traditional scientific inquiry, exploring the psychological, cultural, and possibly multidimensional aspects of these extraordinary encounters. Their efforts continue to inspire new generations of researchers, ensuring that the quest to understand these elusive phenomena remains a vital and evolving area of scientific curiosity and exploration.

8. How Do UFO Entities Behave?

The behavior exhibited by UFO entities during various encounters exhibits considerable variability, often influenced by the context of the interaction and the perception of witnesses. In many instances, reports depict these entities as acting irrationally, animalistically, or mechanically, resembling robotic automatons. Such descriptions often include entities moving with jerky or uncoordinated motions, displaying a lack of apparent intention or purpose, which has led researchers to classify these behaviors as inexplicable or anomalous. Alternatively, during abduction scenarios, the behavior of these beings appears markedly different. Abductees frequently describe the entities—particularly the so-called Greys—as alert, focused, and conducting themselves with a level of purpose that suggests scientific or experimental intent. These beings are often portrayed as meticulously examining or manipulating humans and objects, resembling scientists conducting controlled experiments. This purposeful behavior indicates a level of cognitive complexity that challenges simplistic notions of extraterrestrial visitors as purely animalistic or robotic.

Further, numerous accounts suggest that these entities may function as part of a collective consciousness or integrated biological organism. Many abductees report experiencing the entities not as isolated individuals but as components of a larger, unified entity—akin to cells within a larger organism—implying a highly organized social or biological structure. This collective behavior hints at an advanced level of social coordination and possibly shared consciousness, raising questions about their biological and cognitive makeup. Some researchers posit that these behaviors might reflect an evolved form of communication or an intentional display designed to influence or manipulate human perception and responses during encounters.

Historically, the phenomenon of UFO landings and the associated behaviors of entities have been documented across different periods and regions. A notable example is the widespread UFO wave of 1954, which involved numerous landings reported in countries such as France, Italy, and South America. During this period, the behaviors of the entities were documented through eyewitness accounts, photographs, and physical evidence. The first Belgian UFO photograph, dating from 1954, captured a moment that exemplifies the range of phenomena observed. Jacques Vallée, a prominent researcher, systematically analyzed approximately 200 landing reports from this era, discovering that a small percentage—around 4%—described beings as small men or giants covered in hair. The majority of witnesses, over 75%, reported experiencing paralysis or an inability to move during encounters, often described as a state of helplessness or powerlessness.

Physical effects resulting from these encounters—such as mysterious marks, scars, or implants—have been reported consistently. Despite this, official authorities have frequently dismissed or ignored such physical evidence, often attributing it to natural or psychological causes. Nonetheless, a significant number of abductees have claimed physical examinations, implantations, and other tangible effects that point toward an organized, biological process underlying the phenomena.

Additionally, historical accounts include descriptions of entities resembling “Big Eyes Monsters” (BEMS), which are characterized by large, insectoid, or non-human features. These entities have been documented across centuries, suggesting a persistent motif in human encounters with strange beings. Medieval legends, folklore, and modern eyewitness testimonies depict similar creatures, often associated with mysterious lights or crafts. The evolution of descriptions over time indicates a possible continuity of encounters, with the entities adapting their appearances to fit contemporary cultural or scientific paradigms. These persistent narratives imply that such beings and their behaviors might be part of an ongoing phenomenon that transcends specific historical periods.

In conclusion, the behavior of UFO entities varies from seemingly irrational or animalistic to highly purposeful and organized actions, especially during abductions. Their collective or biological nature, along with historical continuity in descriptions, suggests a complex phenomenon that challenges straightforward explanations. Ongoing research aims to better understand whether these behaviors are driven by extraterrestrial intelligence, interdimensional entities, or other unknown factors, with each perspective offering insights into the mysterious behaviors observed in UFO encounters

ABDUCTIONS BY ALIENS : FANTASY, HOAX OR REALITY - PART II

9. How to Respond to Such Behaviors?

The phenomenon of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and related reports has long been a subject of fascination, skepticism, and scientific inquiry. Despite numerous eyewitness accounts and reports, the scientific community and the media have often approached these phenomena with skepticism or outright dismissal. This paper aims to analyze the behaviors exhibited by various stakeholders—ufologists, skeptics, media, and researchers—and to understand the implications of their responses within a broader scientific and societal context. By examining specific cases and general attitudes, we can develop a nuanced understanding of how these behaviors influence the study of UFOs and related phenomena.

1. Historical Context of UFO Reporting and Skepticism

Historically, reports of UFOs and alien abductions have been met with a mixture of curiosity, skepticism, and outright ridicule. Many ufologists have historically chosen to ignore certain reports or dismiss them as nonsensical, often labeling them as “speculative nonsense” or “stranger than fiction.” Such dismissals are often rooted in a desire to maintain scientific credibility and avoid association with perceived pseudoscience. However, this approach can also lead to the suppression of genuine data, thereby hindering the advancement of understanding in this field.

The tendency to dismiss reports based on preconceived notions or prevailing scientific paradigms reflects a broader issue within scientific inquiry: the challenge of investigating phenomena that do not conform to established theories. For example, some ufologists have historically altered or manipulated reports—such as describing large alien beings as “small green men”—to fit a more palatable narrative or to conform with popular stereotypes. This manipulation demonstrates a lack of objectivity and raises questions about the integrity and reliability of such reports.

2. Case Study: Electromagnetic Anomalies and Witness Testimony

A specific case exemplifies the complexities involved in UFO investigations. Witnesses reported observing an oval-shaped object with approximately ten lights. A skeptical investigator hypothesized that the object was an airplane, citing the alignment of lights along an airport landing route. This explanation, however, was challenged by a seasoned engineer from BUFON who used self-built instruments to detect electromagnetic deviations during the sighting. The engineer’s measurements indicated a significant electromagnetic anomaly coinciding with the observation.

This case highlights several critical issues. First, it underscores the importance of objective, scientifitative frameworks—scientific versus skeptical—can lead to conflicting conclusions. The skeptical investigator’s attempt to discredit the engineer’s findings by questioning his responses to questions about the measuring instruments exemplifies a common tactic used to undermine credibility. Such behaviors can obstruct collaborative efforts aimed at understanding the phenomenon objectively.

3. The Role of Psychological and Cultural Factors

The social and psychological dimensions of UFO reports are significant. Many individuals who report abductions or encounters describe experiences that are often consistent across cultures and historical periods. These accounts frequently involve elements such as feelings of paralysis, contact with extraterrestrial beings, or perceived implants—small objects surgically removed from their bodies.

Skeptics often compare abductees to mystics of earlier centuries, suggesting that both groups believe they have had extraordinary experiences that are denied or dismissed by mainstream society. They argue that such experiences are subjective, rooted in psychological or cultural factors, and lack objective evidence. Skeptics also draw parallels with historical phenomena: medieval monks believed they were seduced by demons; women in ancient Greece thought they had sexual encounters with animals; and later, accusations of witchcraft were common. They claim that these narratives, like modern abduction stories, are influenced by societal beliefs, religious doctrines, and cultural conditioning.

From a scientific perspective, these similarities raise questions about the nature of human perception and cognition. It has been suggested that such experiences may be manifestations of subconscious processes, sleep paralysis, hallucinations, or other psychological phenomena. However, critics argue that dismissing these reports as mere psychological episodes neglects the possibility of genuine encounters or physical evidence, such as alleged implants or scars.

4. Historical Inquisition and Modern Skepticism

Historically, accusations of demonic possession or witchcraft led to brutal inquisitions, where confessions were often extracted under torture, and innocent individuals suffered severe penalties, including death. The analogy drawn by skeptics between these historical events and modern skepticism toward UFO abductions emphasizes a perceived continuity: just as society once persecuted those accused of witchcraft, today’s skeptics sometimes dismiss or ridicule abductees, labeling their experiences as delusions or mental illnesses.

While modern society has abolished physical torture, psychological intimidation and social stigmatization remain. Victims of alleged abductions often face disbelief, ridicule, and attempts to discredit their experiences. Skeptics dismiss physical evidence such as scars or implants as ordinary objects or mundane injuries, disregarding the possibility that such evidence could be genuine. This systematic rejection of testimony and physical evidence contributes to a climate of disbelief and marginalization.

5. Media, Science, and Public Perception

The portrayal of UFO phenomena in the media and the stance of scientific institutions significantly influence public perception. Skeptical narratives tend to dominate, emphasizing natural explanations and dismissing extraordinary claims. The media often reflect and reinforce these attitudes, shaping societal understanding and acceptance of these phenomena.

The scientific community’s cautious or dismissive stance stems from a commitment to empirical evidence and methodological rigor. However, this approach can sometimes border on dogmatism, especially when faced with phenomena that challenge existing paradigms. The tendency to dismiss reports outright risks missing potential discoveries or understanding phenomena that do not fit into current scientific frameworks.

6. Implications for Victims and Researchers

The cumulative effect of skepticism, ridicule, and dismissiveness discourages witnesses from coming forward with their experiences. Many victims fear social stigmatization or professional repercussions. As a result, they may choose to remain silent or seek anonymous platforms to share their stories, often finding solace among peer support groups online.

Researchers who attempt to investigate these phenomena objectively often encounter hostility or skepticism from colleagues and institutions. Genuine efforts to find explanations—whether psychological, physical, or extraterrestrial—are sometimes met with accusations of fraud or mental illness. Such attitudes hinder scientific progress and the development of a comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon.

7. The Ethical and Psychological Dimensions

The debate over how to respond to reports of abduction and other anomalous experiences involves ethical considerations. Dismissing victims’ accounts outright can cause psychological harm, including feelings of isolation, shame, or self-doubt. Conversely, uncritical acceptance without rigorous investigation risks endorsing false claims and diverting resources from legitimate research.

It is essential to approach these reports with sensitivity, balancing skepticism with openness. Psychological support for victims, combined with scientific investigation, can help discern the nature of these experiences. Recognizing the complexity of human perception and the potential for genuine physical evidence is crucial in developing a responsible approach.

8. Conclusion: Toward a Balanced Perspective

In conclusion, the behaviors exhibited by skeptics, media, and some researchers reflect broader societal attitudes toward the unknown and the extraordinary. While skepticism is vital to scientific integrity, it should not devolve into dogmatism or the outright dismissal of unexplained phenomena. Genuine scientific inquiry requires openness to new ideas, rigorous investigation, and a willingness to accept uncertainty.

The study of UFOs and related phenomena remains a challenging field, requiring multidisciplinary approaches that encompass physics, psychology, anthropology, and sociology. Recognizing the limitations of current paradigms and fostering respectful dialogue among believers, skeptics, and researchers can facilitate more productive investigations. Ultimately, a balanced approach—grounded in scientific rigor but open to the unexplained—may lead to meaningful insights into these enduring mysteries.

10. endconclusion - Scientific Inquiry into Alien Abductions: Myth or Reality?

The question of whether alien abductions are genuine phenomena or mere fabrications has long captivated both the public and the scientific community. The debate is complex, involving psychological, cultural, and sometimes even physiological factors. While skepticism remains a dominant stance in many scientific circles, recent developments in research methodologies and the proliferation of anecdotal reports challenge us to reconsider the boundaries between belief and empirical evidence.

1. Understanding the Nature of Alien Abduction Reports

Many individuals worldwide have reported experiences of being abducted by extraterrestrial beings. These accounts often share common themes: inexplicable visits during sleep paralysis, vivid dreams, or hallucinations, and sometimes physical marks or implants. Skeptics argue that such reports can be explained by psychological phenomena such as sleep paralysis, hallucinations, or false memories. For instance, sleep paralysis—a state where one is conscious but unable to move—can produce terrifying hallucinations that individuals interpret as alien encounters. Moreover, cultural influences and media portrayals can shape these narratives, reinforcing the idea that such experiences are extraterrestrial.

2. The Challenges of Scientific Validation

From a scientific standpoint, alien abduction phenomena lack concrete, verifiable evidence. No physical artifacts, such as spacecraft debris or biological samples, have been conclusively linked to extraterrestrial sources. Researchers demand empirical data—observable, measurable, and reproducible—to support extraordinary claims. The absence of such evidence leads many scientists to classify abduction reports as psychological or sociocultural phenomena rather than objective realities.

However, this skeptical stance is not without its criticisms. Critics argue that the scientific community's strict requirements for evidence may dismiss genuine experiences that do not fit conventional paradigms. Furthermore, the reluctance to investigate these reports objectively can stem from biases or the fear of undermining scientific credibility. The article emphasizes the importance of honest and open-minded research, criticizing dismissive attitudes that hinder understanding. It suggests that dismissing all reports outright might be premature and that a balanced approach could lead to new insights.

3. The Role of Psychology and Cultural Factors

Psychological explanations play a significant role in understanding abduction reports. Conditions such as sleep paralysis, dissociative disorders, and suggestibility can produce experiences that are misinterpreted as alien encounters. Cultural narratives also influence perceptions; for example, media portrayals of aliens shape individual expectations and interpretations of ambiguous experiences. Additionally, traumatic events or psychological stress may manifest as vivid, otherworldly memories during therapy or hypnosis.

Some researchers propose that these experiences may be symbolic or metaphorical representations of internal conflicts or fears. The phenomenon of false memories created through suggestive therapy has been documented, raising questions about the reliability of recovered memories of abductions. Nevertheless, for those who genuinely believe they have experienced abductions, these explanations may not be wholly satisfying, and the search for objective evidence continues.

4. The Need for an Open-Minded Scientific Approach

The article advocates for a middle ground in investigating alien abduction phenomena. Instead of outright dismissing reports or accepting them uncritically, a rigorous, open-minded scientific methodology should be employed. This would involve collecting detailed case histories, conducting physiological and psychological assessments, and exploring possible natural explanations without preconceived notions.

Advances in neuroscience and psychology could shed light on the mechanisms behind such experiences, perhaps revealing new insights into human consciousness and perception. Simultaneously, the search for physical evidence should continue, utilizing modern technology such as spectroscopy, DNA analysis, and electromagnetic measurements to detect anomalies that could substantiate claims.

5. The Importance of Sharing Stories and Maintaining Hope

The article underscores the importance of sharing personal experiences via the internet and other media, creating a space where individuals can express their stories without fear of ridicule. This democratization of information fosters a broader understanding and may lead to the collection of data that challenges or confirms existing theories.

While skepticism is essential to scientific progress, the author warns against the negativity that dismisses all reports as mere fantasy. Instead, maintaining hope and curiosity can motivate researchers to explore these phenomena further, fostering a collaborative effort to understand whether alien abductions are fantasies, hoaxes, or phenomena with a scientific basis.

6. Conclusion: Striving for a Balanced Perspective

In conclusion, the debate over alien abductions exemplifies the broader tension between skepticism and open-minded inquiry. While current scientific evidence does not conclusively prove the reality of extraterrestrial encounters, dismissing personal reports outright may hinder potential discoveries. A balanced approach—combining rigorous scientific investigation with respect for individual experiences—may eventually yield a better understanding of this enigmatic phenomenon.

The pursuit of knowledge should be guided by curiosity, honesty, and a willingness to explore the unknown. Whether alien abductions are fantasy, hoax, or reality remains an open question, but the quest for truth continues. Perhaps, as the article suggests, the ultimate goal is to find a harmonious middle ground where science and personal belief can coexist, paving the way for new discoveries and a deeper understanding of the universe—and ourselves.

Aliens: Facts about extraterrestrial life and how scientists are looking for it

By Stephanie Pappas 

Discover interesting facts about where alien life forms are likely to exist, and what they look like.

What might aliens look like?

What aliens would look like would depend on where they came from. For example, on the icy moons in our solar system (Jupiter's Ganymede and Europa, and Saturn's Enceladus), life could thrive around hydrothermal vents in the oceans under the ice. This life might look like the weird creatures of the deep ocean seen on Earth. There could be primitive microbes, like Earth's single-celled Archaea. There might be relatively simple creatures with many cells in their body, sort of like Earth's tube worms, which live off chemicals from the vent fluid.

Earth formed about 4.5 billion years ago, and we think the first life existed by about 4.2 billion years ago. But life on Earth started simple and stayed that way for a long time. The first microbes that produced carbon evolved at least 3.7 billion years ago. (Carbon is an element that is a part of all known life.) But the kind of cells that gave rise to animals, plants and other complex life-forms didn't evolve until between 2.7 billion and 1.8 billion years ago. Life-forms made of many cells didn't show up until 600 million years ago. And modern humans came on the scene only around 300,000 years ago.

That means that, if other planets with life are like Earth, the time period in which they might host intelligent life (or even something as cuddly as a koala) is pretty brief. But there's a good chance that human life might overlap with microbial life on another planet.

Scientists do think that life on other planets would be driven by the same processes as it is on Earth, namely evolution. Changes to the environment drive living things to change, leading to new and more complex species. So a planet out in space that is like Earth and has been through many changes in its surface, rocks and climate would probably have complex life, too. In that case, aliens might face similar challenges and needs as here on Earth, and thus might evolve similar features. Eyes, for example, have evolved independently dozens of times on Earth, and they might evolve in life on other planets, too.

Where might aliens live?

Some scientists still hold out hope that life exists elsewhere in our solar system. If it does, it's probably on one of the these moons:

• Ganymede: Jupiter's largest moon is bigger than Mercury and hides a giant ocean under its icy surface.
• Europa: Another moon of Jupiter with an ice-bound ocean, Europa has liquid water, heat generated by the pull of Jupiter's gravity, and chemicals that are the building blocks of life.
• Enceladus: This Saturn moon spews water vapor that contains carbon compounds from its surface. One of these compounds, hydrogen cyanide, is important for the origin of life.
• Titan: This moon of Saturn is very cold, but it does have carbon-rich liquid on its surface. Any life found on Titan would have to thrive in conditions not seen on Earth.
• Triton: Neptune's moon Triton is very, very cold, but it might have an ocean under its surface layer of ice. It also has geological activity in the form of geysers that erupt when the sun heats the nitrogen ice on the planet's surface.

And our next-door neighbor, Mars, may have hosted life in the past, because it used to have liquid water and an atmosphere. Today, any life would have to persist in deep pools of water below the Red Planet's surface.

Outside the solar system, scientists are continually discovering new exoplanets. They can learn things about these planets' atmospheres by studying the types of light waves they see using superpowerful telescopes. One promising exoplanet for life is called K2-18b. This world is too far for humans to visit, but the light from the planet has reached Earth. This light tells us the planet has an ocean. Scientists think they've detected some chemicals in K2-18b's atmosphere that could be made by marine life, but they don't know for sure.

How are scientists looking for aliens?

Scientists look for aliens in a few different ways.

First, they listen for alien signals. This is called "passive SETI," for "search for extraterrestrial intelligence." If aliens are smart like we are, their technology might send signals into the cosmos. On Earth, for example, all of the radio waves from our phones, satellites and TV station communications "leak" into space, and these leaking radio waves could be picked up if anyone were listening. So Earthlings use telescopes designed to pick up radio waves from space, hoping to find extraterrestrial signals.

That only works for tech-savvy aliens, though. Scientists also use light to look at the kinds of molecules that are present on far-off planets and moons. On Earth, some molecules are usually or always made by living things, so if those molecules are found elsewhere, they could be a sign of life. This kind of research lets scientists look for hints of life on exoplanets that are too far away to reach with a spacecraft.

Scientists also send spacecraft to the nearby places where life might exist. The Mars rovers, for example, collect rock samples that could contain evidence of fossilized ancient Martian microbes. (They haven't found any yet, but you never know!) NASA is planning to send a drone with propellers, called Dragonfly, to Saturn's moon Titan in 2028. Dragonfly would reach Titan by 2034 and search for chemicals tied to life. The European Space Agency would like to send a mission to Enceladus, also to search for signs of past or present life.

Are UFOs aliens?

Unidentified flying objects (UFOs) are things in the sky that aren't explained. The first modern UFO sighting goes back to 1947, when a U.S. fighter pilot reported seeing flying saucers in Washington. Not every UFO sighting can be explained, but many turn out to be events with an Earthly origin. For example, the famous "UFO crash" from Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947 was actually debris from an experimental military balloon that was supposed to pick up sound waves from atomic bomb tests in the Soviet Union.

More recently, strange videos have shown seemingly quick-moving, hovering objects. These "unidentified aerial phenomena" (UAPs) don't have an official explanation. However, they could be normal objects that seem to be moving quickly due to optical illusions, or things that aren't what they appear to be. The pilot who took the videos might have been seeing drones, weather balloons or even birds.

Any alien civilization with the kind of technology to build spacecraft has to be an enormous distance away, given that the closest exoplanet that has the right conditions for life is Proxima Centauri B, which is 24 trillion miles away. Proxima Centauri B isn't very close, and it might not have an atmosphere. So it might not have life at all, much less life that could travel to us. And we would need some seriously advanced way to get there: With current Earth technology, it would take 6,300 years for a spacecraft to travel from Earth to Proxima Centauri B.

In other words, no, UFOs probably aren't aliens. An alien civilization could send a spacecraft to our planet, but it would mean the aliens who sent it in the first place — and their kids, grandkids, great-grandkids, great-great-grandkids and so on — would probably be long dead before the craft reached us. So it's a lot more likely that UFO sightings are cases of mistaken identity.

Alien pictures

The Golden Record

When NASA launched the Voyager spacecraft in 1977, they included these Golden Records, which contain images and sounds from Earth. These include greetings in 55 languages, music and pictures of life on Earth. The idea is that if aliens ever encountered them, they would understand what human culture was like.

Ancient Mars water

Landscapes like this one suggest Mars once had a wet surface. Here, a track cut by water in Jezero Crater ends in a fan of sediment that has likely been chemically changed by water.

Jupiter's moon Europa

Jupiter's moon Europa might harbor life beneath its icy surface. This moon has a deep ocean beneath a shell of ice, and perhaps hydrothermal vents where life could evolve.

Alien world?

This artist's conception shows the exoplanet Kepler-1649c. This planet is similar to Earth in size and temperature and is in its star's habitable zone, the distance where liquid water could exist on the planet's surface.

Alien life may not be carbon-based, new study suggests

In the new study, researchers searched for autocatalysis beyond organic compounds. They reasoned that autocatalysis could help drive abiogenesis — the origin of life from lifelessness.

The scientists focused on what are called comproportionation cycles, which can generate multiple copies of a molecule. These products can be used as starting materials to help these cycles happen again, resulting in autocatalysis.

"Comproportionation is arguably unique because it is a single reaction that produces multiples of an output — it looks a lot like reproduction," study lead author Zhen Peng, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, told Space.com.

Inside the Stargate Program: Remote Viewing, UFO Bases & the Secrets of Consciousness

Dr. Paul H. Smith, a former U.S. Army intelligence officer and one of the original participants in the top-secret Stargate Program, has long stood at the crossroads of military-grade psychic research and consciousness exploration. In a recent in-depth conversation, he peeled back the layers on hidden UFO bases, the evolution of remote viewing (RV), and what it means for our understanding of human perception and non-local consciousness.

From Intelligence Officer to Psychic Spy

Dr. Smith’s entry into the world of psychic intelligence began in the early 1980s when he was recruited under mysterious circumstances while stationed at Fort Meade. With a background in Middle Eastern analysis and linguistic proficiency, Smith had no idea that his next assignment would involve learning how to transcend space and time to gather intelligence using only his mind.

After passing a series of psychological and personality tests, he was introduced to Coordinate Remote Viewing (CRV), a structured technique originally developed by artist and psychic Ingo Swann and physicist Hal Puthoff at Stanford Research Institute (SRI). The methodology allowed individuals to “view” distant targets by accessing information beyond ordinary perception — a concept once relegated to science fiction.

Stargate, Soviet Threats, and the CIA’s Role

The military’s interest in remote viewing began during the Cold War when U.S. intelligence agencies learned that the Soviets were investing millions in psychotronic research. The CIA, initially skeptical, began supporting experiments at SRI after Swann successfully influenced a shielded device in a lab — an event that reportedly defied conventional explanation.

Dr. Smith explains that remote viewing was formally integrated into U.S. Army intelligence operations in the late 1970s. The Stargate Project became a classified unit tasked with gathering actionable intelligence, ranging from hostage situations to potential foreign threats — sometimes including unconventional targets like hidden underground facilities.

The Typhoon Submarine Case: Proving It Works

One of the most compelling examples of RV’s success was the prediction of the Soviet Typhoon-class submarine. Remote viewer Joe McMoneagle, working blind, described a massive submarine under construction with missile tubes located in front of the conning tower — a design detail that contradicted naval norms.

The National Security Council initially dismissed the session, but months later, the Typhoon sub was launched — exactly as described. Ironically, this success was not officially acknowledged, contributing to the misconception that remote viewing had no real-world impact.

Pat Price, Hidden UFO Bases, and a Mysterious Death

Another central figure in remote viewing lore is Pat Price, a former police commissioner turned psychic. His sessions — particularly those involving four suspected alien bases (Mount Hayes, Alaska; Australia; Africa; and Spain) — remain controversial. What’s extraordinary is that multiple remote viewers, including Dr. Smith himself, unknowingly corroborated Price’s earlier findings when tasked to view Mount Hayes years later.

Price described alien-like entities operating underground facilities, and even sketched craft eerily similar to what modern witnesses call “Tic Tac” UFOs. He later died suddenly under suspicious circumstances. According to Price’s daughter, he had warned that if anything happened to him, it would be the KGB — a plausible theory given that there is no known method to shield against psychic surveillance, making psychic operatives like Price high-value targets.

Consciousness as a Non-Local Phenomenon

For Dr. Smith, the implications of remote viewing go far beyond espionage. The practice suggests that consciousness may be non-local, capable of existing independently of time and space. This idea has philosophical and metaphysical ramifications, challenging materialist assumptions and opening new doors into the study of mind and existence.

Remote viewing has produced results that imply the viewer can “bilocate,” experiencing presence both in the viewing room and at the distant target — including locations as extreme as the far side of the Moon. In one such case, Smith and other trained viewers described an artificial underground cavity on the Moon containing manta-ray-shaped craft, potentially biological in nature and seemingly aware of being observed.

Psionics, Classified Programs, and the Future of Human Potential

As new whistleblowers like David Grusch and Jake Barber come forward, alleging the existence of recovered alien craft and so-called “psionic assets,” Dr. Smith remains cautiously open. He draws parallels between these new terms and the military’s older term psychoenergetics, which encompassed remote viewing and similar phenomena.

While the Stargate program was officially shut down in 1995, Smith and others believe interest in consciousness-based intelligence gathering never truly ended. Some former insiders, like Skip Atwater, have hinted at the existence of successor programs.

Dr. Paul H. Smith remains one of the most grounded and credible voices in the world of psychic phenomena. His experience spans not only military intelligence but also deep philosophical inquiry into the nature of mind, space, and perception.

If the implications of remote viewing are real — and according to Smith, they very much are — then humanity is only beginning to understand its own untapped potential. Whether for intelligence gathering, interstellar exploration, or expanding our comprehension of consciousness itself, remote viewing stands as one of the most fascinating and misunderstood tools of the modern age.

What would you do if you suddenly felt an unseen presence, turned around—and found yourself face to face with a seven-foot-tall, insect-like entity? Since 2006, anglers along New Jersey’s Musconetcong River have reported startling encounters with just such a being: a towering, humanoid creature that closely resembles a praying mantis. 

But these aren’t just fleeting sightings. Witnesses frequently describe deeply unsettling experiences: telepathic communication, a sense of their thoughts or memories being accessed, and profound physiological effects. Consistent patterns emerge—electronic devices glitch, the surrounding forest falls unnaturally silent, and a strange, low-frequency hum seems to vibrate through the air. 

More intriguingly, these mantis-like figures aren’t limited to modern encounters. Strikingly similar forms appear in ancient art across the globe, from 8,000-year-old cave paintings to references in Egyptian iconography. Could these entities have been with us since the dawn of civilization? 

Theories vary widely. Some suggest these beings are an advanced species of insectoid extraterrestrials, possibly master geneticists overseeing hybridization programs involving humanity. Others propose a more Earth-bound origin, perhaps they’re a secret lineage of evolved terrestrial insects, hiding in the shadows of time. 

And then there’s the interdimensional hypothesis: that these creatures aren’t physical in the way we understand, but exist in a parallel state of reality, occasionally phasing into ours. 

Some researchers have even speculated that geological fault lines, like those beneath the Musconetcong River, could serve as energetic gateways, allowing these entities to cross between dimensions. 

One thing is clear: the Mantis beings are watching and they may have been here far longer than we’ve dared to imagine.

Aliens Among Us? 5 Scariest UFO Encounters Shared on Joe Rogan

5 Scariest Alien Stories Ever Told on the Joe Rogan Podcast

The Joe Rogan Experience has become a modern hub for controversial topics and mind-bending interviews—but few themes have captured attention like the chilling stories of alien encounters. Across several episodes, guests ranging from documentary filmmakers to Navy pilots have shared their firsthand experiences or investigations into unexplained phenomena. Here are five of the most frightening and compelling alien stories ever told on Joe Rogan’s podcast.

1. The Zimbabwe School Encounter (1994)

Guest: James Fox | Episode #1574

In a remote village in Rua, Zimbabwe, 62 schoolchildren aged 6 to 12 claimed they saw a silver, disc-shaped craft land near their school playground. Several described small humanoid beings with large black eyes and shiny black suits. Strangely, the beings were said to communicate telepathically, warning the children about environmental destruction.

Documentary filmmaker James Fox, initially skeptical, later worked on a film investigating the incident. He interviewed the now-adult witnesses—many of whom had never shared their stories due to fear of ridicule. Their detailed consistency and emotional reactions decades later offer one of the most credible UFO mass sightings in history.

2. Brazil’s Roswell: The Varginha Incident (1996)

Guest: James Fox | Episode #1976

Over a period of several days in January 1996, residents of Varginha, Brazil, reported seeing cigar- and disc-shaped objects flying erratically. But the most terrifying account came from three young women who claimed to encounter a strange creature with oily brown skin, red eyes, and a pungent odor of sulfur.

Witnesses say the Brazilian military captured the being and transferred it to a hospital, where secrecy intensified. A military officer who allegedly touched the being died weeks later from an unknown infection. Fox described firsthand testimonies, including one from a man who transported the entity—saying the encounter ruined his life due to threats and surveillance.

3. Travis Walton’s Alien Abduction (1975)

Guest: Travis Walton | Episode #1597

Travis Walton was part of a logging crew in Arizona when he disappeared after being struck by a beam from a hovering UFO. He reappeared five days later, confused and frightened. He later recalled waking inside an alien craft, surrounded by beings with large eyes and no facial expressions. After attacking them, he met tall, humanoid figures before blacking out.

Walton and his coworkers all passed polygraph tests, and Walton has maintained his story for over 40 years. The physical, psychological, and testimonial evidence surrounding this case continues to challenge skeptics.

4. Joe Rogan’s Visit to Skinwalker Ranch

Guests: Jason Sans & Lenval Logan | Episode #2264

Skinwalker Ranch in Utah has long been a magnet for paranormal activity. Joe Rogan recounted a visit during which he interviewed locals who had experienced bizarre events. One man described a glowing orb entering his house, seemingly communicating telepathically before disappearing through a wall. Other cases involved orbs appearing in doorways and even being caught on camera.

These phenomena tie into a broader pattern of electromagnetic disturbances, unexplained illnesses, and military-level secrecy at the ranch—fueling theories that it sits at a convergence point of interdimensional activity.

5. Navy Pilot Witnesses UFOs Regularly (2014–2015)

Guest: Ryan Graves | Episode #1883

Navy pilot and aerospace engineer Ryan Graves revealed that during training missions off the East Coast, he and fellow pilots routinely saw unidentified flying objects on upgraded radar systems. These craft could hover motionless in 140-mph winds and then accelerate to hundreds of miles per hour in erratic flight paths.

One incident involved a UFO flying directly between two fighter jets. The object was described visually as a dark cube suspended inside a translucent sphere—matching other civilian reports across the U.S. These objects defy known physics and remain unexplained.

Final Thoughts

These five stories highlight a common thread: consistency across witnesses, physical evidence, and long-term psychological impact. Whether you’re a skeptic or a believer, the accounts shared on the Joe Rogan Experience make it hard to ignore the possibility that we are not alone—and that some of them may already be here.

Achter het bericht dat 50 jaar geleden naar buitenaardse wezens werd gestuurd

Achter het bericht dat 50 jaar geleden naar buitenaardse wezens werd gestuurd

In november 1974 reikte de mensheid voor het eerst opzettelijk uit naar de kosmos met een interstellaire boodschap. De gecodeerde transmissie, zorgvuldig, nieuwsgierig en met een vleugje durf gecreëerd, heeft zijn bedoelde bestemming nog niet bereikt. Toch is deze baanbrekende daad een waar symbool van ons verlangen om in contact te komen met intelligente buitenaardse levensvormen. Decennia later blijft het Arecibo-bericht een hoeksteen van de zoektocht van de mensheid naar leven in de kosmos.

Waar stuurden wetenschappers dit bericht naartoe? Wat hebben ze er precies in gezet? En kunnen we een antwoord verwachten? Klik door deze galerij om het te ontdekken.

©Getty Images

Een gedurfde oproep
Het Arecibo-bericht werd op 16 november 1974 de kosmos ingestuurd vanaf het Arecibo-observatorium in Puerto Rico. Het was niet meer dan een korte stroom van binaire gegevens, verzonden als een langeafstandsgroet ("hello") naar onbekende kosmische buren.

©Getty Images

Geboorteplaats
Op het moment dat het bericht werd verzonden, was het Arecibo-observatorium het meest gevoelige instrument voor het verkennen van het universum. Het duurde drie jaar om het te bouwen, en het opende zijn deuren in 1963.

©Shutterstock

Een indrukwekkende constructie
De gigantische komvormige radiotaartschaal van het observatorium werd gebouwd in een natuurlijke zinkgat. Het stalen platform dat er boven werd opgehangen, woog maar liefst 900 Amerikaanse ton (816 metrische ton).

©Shutterstock

Een technologische sprong
Het Arecibo-bericht markeerde de ingebruikname van de krachtige nieuwe transmissiemogelijkheden van de telescoop, waarmee het signalen met ongekende reikwijdte en kracht kon uitzenden. In feite was het in staat om signalen uit te zenden met een vermogen dat twintig keer groter was dan de gecombineerde output van alle elektriciteitscentrales op aarde op dat moment.

©Getty Images

Visie op verbinding
Astronoom Frank Drake (beroemd om de Drake-vergelijking, die wordt gebruikt om het aantal buitenaardse beschavingen in de Melkweg te schatten) ontwierp het bericht dat verzonden zou worden. Zijn innovatieve benadering presenteerde de poging van de mensheid om met buitenaardse wezens te communiceren in de eenvoudigste vorm: de binaire code.

©Shutterstock

Enen en nullen
Binaire code, die bestaat uit niet meer dan enen en nullen, werd gebruikt in het Arecibo-bericht omdat het een eenvoudig en universeel systeem is dat begrepen kan worden door elk wezen dat in staat is tot basis wiskundig redeneren.

©Shutterstock

Een teaminspanning
Afgestudeerde studenten aan de Cornell University hielpen bij het verfijnen van Drake's ontwerp en droegen belangrijke elementen bij aan het bericht dat uiteindelijk verzonden zou worden.

©Public Domain

Formaat
Het uiteindelijke bericht bevatte 1.679 bits (de afkorting van 'binaire cijfers') die waren gerangschikt in een raster van 73 rijen en 23 kolommen. Het bericht bestaat uit zeven delen die verschillende informatie over de mensheid coderen.

©Public Domain

1. Getallen
Het eerste gedeelte van het Arecibo-bericht toont de nummers van één tot tien in binaire code. Dit dient als een basis voor het bericht, waarbij aan buitenaardse wezens het concept van tellen en binaire representatie wordt getoond, wat begrijpelijk zou moeten zijn voor andere geavanceerde wezens.

©Public Domain

2. DNA-elementen
Dit gedeelte gebruikt de getallen één, zes, zeven, acht en vijftien, die de atoomnummers zijn van waterstof, koolstof, stikstof, zuurstof en fosfor. Deze elementen zijn fundamenteel voor het leven op aarde en vormen de bouwstenen van DNA.

©Public Domain

3. Nucleotiden
Het derde gedeelte geeft de chemische formules weer van 12 organische moleculen (of nucleotiden) die DNA vormen. Alle levensvormen op aarde zijn opgebouwd met hetzelfde genetische raamwerk, en dit gedeelte toont hoe dat raamwerk eruitziet door middel van atoomnummers van elementen.

©Public Domain

4. Dubbele helix
Dit gedeelte stelt grafisch de iconische dubbele-helixstructuur van DNA voor, met lijnen die de componenten met elkaar verbinden. Het bevat ook het getal 4.294.967.296 in binaire code, wat het geschatte aantal baseparen in menselijk DNA vertegenwoordigt.

©Public Domain

5. Mensheid
In dit gedeelte staat een menselijke figuur in het midden, vergezeld van een verticale lijn aan de linkerkant om de gemiddelde hoogte van mensen aan te geven (ongeveer 1,75 meter, gecodeerd met de golflengte van de transmissie). Aan de rechterkant is de menselijke bevolking van de aarde (ongeveer 4,3 miljard in 1974) gecodeerd in binaire code.

©Public Domain

6. Planeten
Het zesde gedeelte van het bericht is een grafische weergave van het zonnestelsel. De Zon en de negen planeten (inclusief Pluto op dat moment) worden afgebeeld, waarbij de aarde omhoog is verschoven om de oorsprong van het bericht aan te geven.

©Public Domain

7. Telescoop
Het laatste gedeelte toont de Arecibo-radiotelescoop als de bron van de transmissie. De vorm ervan wordt in binaire code weergegeven, samen met de geschatte diameter van 306 meter. De letter 'M' is toegevoegd om aan te geven dat de kromme lijn een concave spiegel is.

©Shutterstock

Kosmische nederigheid
Het bericht, dat drie minuten lang werd uitgezonden op een frequentie van 2380 megahertz, was niet bedoeld om een antwoord te verwachten. Het was niet alleen de manier van de mensheid om te zeggen: "We zijn hier", maar het demonstreerde ook ons potentieel voor interstellaire communicatie.

©Shutterstock

Een lange afstand
De gecodeerde transmissie werd gestuurd in de richting van Messier 13, een enorme sterrenhoop in het sterrenbeeld Hercules, op ongeveer 25.000 lichtjaar afstand.

©Shutterstock

Niet-responsief
Gezien de afstand van Messier 13 tot de aarde, zou een antwoord ongeveer 50.000 jaar kunnen duren. Het experiment was minder bedoeld als een gesprek en meer als een manier om de mogelijkheden van contact over ruimte en tijd voor te stellen.

©Shutterstock

De donkere kant
Critici hebben gewaarschuwd dat het uitzenden van de locatie van de aarde gevaar zou kunnen aantrekken. Dergelijke kritieken baseren zich vaak op speculatieve theorieën zoals het Donkere Woud, waarin beschavingen zich verbergen om te voorkomen dat ze vijandige krachten aantrekken.

©Getty Images

Een waarschuwend verhaal
Tegenwoordig moedigen internationale protocollen, zoals die van het SETI Instituut, bredere discussies aan voordat interstellaire berichten worden verzonden, met nadruk op inclusiviteit en ethische verantwoordelijkheid bij het opstellen van toekomstige communicatie.

©Shutterstock

Concurrerende signalen van de aarde
Hoewel het Arecibo-bericht opzettelijk werd verzonden, lekt de aarde voortdurend signalen de ruimte in via tv-uitzendingen en radiogolven. Deze emissies maken ons bestaan detecteerbaar voor elke geavanceerde buitenaardse luisteraar.

©Shutterstock

Getransformeerd door ontdekking
Sinds het bericht werd verzonden, zijn er meer dan 5.000 exoplaneten geïdentificeerd in de kosmos, waaronder mogelijk bewoonbare. Ons begrip van waar leven zou kunnen bestaan in de kosmos is aanzienlijk verdiept.

©Getty Images

Het schatten van het eerste contact
Wetenschappers schatten dat vier sterren het Arecibo-bericht zullen ontvangen binnen de eerste 500 jaar van de reis, te beginnen met een ster die bekendstaat als Gaia DR3 1328057940089589376, gelegen op ongeveer 395 lichtjaar afstand.

©Getty Images

Een nieuw bericht
In 2018 organiseerden wetenschappers van Arecibo een wedstrijd om een bijgewerkte transmissie te maken. Studenten van de Universiteit van Mayagüez in Puerto Rico stelden een gedetailleerder bericht op, dat een galactische kaart, fysieke constanten en schema-updates bevatte.

©Public Domain

Het eren van het originele
Het nieuwe ontwerp was een echo van de versie uit 1974, met behoud van binaire code en schematische eenvoud, terwijl het details moderniseerde, zoals het uitsluiten van Pluto en het toevoegen van belangrijke kosmische herkenningspunten zoals de ringen van Saturnus. Interessant is dat de biologische gegevens van het leven op aarde werden weggelaten.

©Shutterstock

Een dichterbij gelegen doel
Teegarden's Star, op slechts 12,5 lichtjaar afstand, werd geselecteerd als de bestemming voor het bijgewerkte bericht. Met mogelijk bewoonbare planeten zou een antwoord uit dit systeem binnen 25 jaar kunnen aankomen.

©Getty Images

Instorting
In 2020 stortte het Arecibo-observatorium in vanwege structurele schade veroorzaakt door orkaan Maria. Het verlies van het observatorium markeerde het einde van een tijdperk voor radioastronomie en interstellaire communicatie.

©Getty Images

Het behouden van een wetenschappelijke erfenis
Voor Puerto Ricaanse wetenschappers en studenten was Arecibo een toegangspoort tot de sterren, en de instorting ervan verstoorde een wetenschappelijke hoeksteen van de gemeenschap. Er zijn echter plannen in de maak om de locatie van Arecibo om te vormen tot een educatief centrum, zodat de bijdragen van het observatorium aan de astronomie en wetenschap toekomstige generaties zullen inspireren.

Een blijvende hoop
De erfenis van Arecibo en zijn bericht is werkelijk een treffende weerspiegeling van het diepe verlangen van de mensheid om onze plaats in de kosmos te begrijpen. Terwijl technologie, creativiteit en verbeeldingskracht op aarde blijven bloeien, kunnen we alleen maar hopen dat onze kosmische buren bereid zullen zijn om op hun beurt "hallo" te zeggen.

In a groundbreaking development, advances in quantum data analysis have led to a discovery no scientist could have foreseen. NASA’s deep space monitoring system, upgraded with a quantum processor designed to filter cosmic noise and decode interstellar signals, produced something startling: an image.

A conceptual interpretation of the Voyager 1 image.

But this wasn’t an input, a simulation, or a product of algorithmic imagination. It wasn’t the result of random noise or a misfired pattern recognition process. The quantum system returned a coherent, structured, and symmetrical image, undeniably artificial. And the data it derived from? None other than Voyager 1. 

Renowned physicist Michio Kaku addressed the anomaly in a recent interview: “We may be witnessing the first whisper of a new intelligence, something not man-made, not terrestrial, and certainly not random.” 

The image, reconstructed via entangled qubit networks, depicted a figure: humanoid in silhouette, yet composed of geometric segments that defied any known biological or mechanical blueprint. It seemed deliberately crafted to challenge human comprehension, alien, yet eerily familiar enough to spark recognition.

Not long ago, NASA pushed the boundaries of computation by launching an experimental quantum computer, capable of processing vast, multidimensional data streams. But after this revelation, NASA abruptly shut down the system following the unexpected and unsettling incident, in 2023, though some believe the research continued in secret. 

Meanwhile, Voyager 1—the most distant human-made object in space, still traveling beyond our solar system after 45 years—has been transmitting strange, inexplicable data. According to NASA engineers, the spacecraft’s Attitude Articulation and Control System (AACS) began sending signals that “do not reflect what’s actually happening onboard.” 

Instead of useful telemetry, Voyager 1 has been broadcasting a puzzling sequence: a repeating pattern of ones and zeros. Initially dismissed as a glitch, engineers traced the anomaly to the Flight Data Subsystem (FDS), pinpointing a malfunctioning chip. Yet, despite their efforts, the signal persisted, a digital enigma from 24 billion kilometers away. 

Is this merely a failing system showing its age? Or is something, or someone, intentionally altering the data? 

What if this “error” is a message? And if so, who’s sending it?

This Woman Found Alien Creatures Show Very Disturbing Interest Human Soul

This woman researched alien abductions and found that aliens manipulate perception, control consciousness, cause unexplained illnesses and mental decline, and engage in gruesome activities in underground facilities. Her work showed that alien encounters could cause serious physical, emotional, and spiritual harm, making people question what aliens really want.

Dr. Turner was a brave activist for human rights and an investigator of alien abductions. She had a background in Old English studies and used to teach at a college. She wrote three books about alien abductions: Into the Fringe (1992), Taken (1994), and Masquerade of Angels (1994), which she co-wrote with a psychic named Ted Rice. Through her work, she asked important questions about whether aliens were truly friendly.

She started studying alien abductions in 1988. In her books Into the Fringe and Taken, she shared her own experiences and those of others who had been abducted, showing how frightening these events were.

In Masquerade of Angels, she wrote about Ted Rice’s experiences. At first, Rice thought the aliens were good, but he later realized they were dangerous. One disturbing story he told was about seeing his dead grandfather turn into a reptile-like creature who behaved in a threatening way. This event was followed by the sudden death of Rice’s grandmother.

Sadly, Dr. Turner died from breast cancer in 1996. After her death, more of her work was published, including stories about her own family’s encounters with aliens. She also believed that people who were abducted were targeted on purpose, not randomly chosen. Dr. Turner thought the military was secretly involved, targeting people who reported alien experiences.

In her 1995 lecture at the MUFON Convention, Dr. Karla Turner introduced herself as an abductee, using that term because she had been taken and controlled by non-human entities.

She explained that this was a form of alien abduction, something that she and her family had experienced, and she had documented these events in her book Into the Fringe, published in 1992.

Her book focuses on the period between 1987 and 1990, when she and her family became consciously aware of their alien encounters, which had been happening since childhood.

In her view, the nature of alien activity is deliberately designed to prevent humans from collecting solid proof.

According to Dr. Turner, this makes it difficult to feel confident about many of the “facts” in the field. She explained that, based on everything she had learned, there were very few things she felt comfortable calling facts, and that list was very short. Instead of presenting case reports, photos, body markings, or drawings of aliens and spacecraft, as she had done in the past, she chose to take a different approach in this lecture.

Before her death, Dr. Karla frequently spoke at UFO conferences in the United States and other countries, urging people to take action. She claimed that aliens were manipulating our perceptions and spreading disinformation to weaken us and deceive us into thinking they cared about us, when in reality, their intentions were self-serving and disregarded our well-being. Turner emphasized the need to regain control over the situation and confront these aliens.

Dr. Karla Turner listed the fact: We do not know for certain what these entities are. They could be extraterrestrial, interdimensional, or even from Earth, or they might be something we haven’t imagined yet.

She explained that while some abductees have reported the aliens describing themselves as coming from various origins, we cannot verify these statements, so we can only speculate. For convenience, she used the term “alien,” but she didn’t necessarily believe they were from another planet.

The second fact she shared was more critical: she believed that some of the aliens were liars. Over the decades, aliens had made predictions and promises that did not come true.

Dr. Karla emphasized that, based on the historical record of these encounters, very few of these predictions had come true, and none of great significance. She illustrated this with a personal st

She recounted the experience of a young man named James, whom she had known since he was 11 years old. James had been through a series of intense encounters and abductions, particularly in 1987 and 1988.

One of the entities he frequently encountered described itself as an interdimensional being, claiming to be from the 10th dimension and aware of the 11th. This entity would appear in different forms—sometimes a nebulous shape, sometimes a human woman, or even just parts of her, like her head or hands.

Dr. Karla shared a story about a young man named James. James had met a woman who gave him detailed information about events happening several states away, which he was able to check and found out were completely true. This made him a believer in what the woman told him.

He was an outstanding student, a valedictorian at a prestigious private school, with a bright future ahead. However, the woman warned him that in five years, he would be “turned on” to do a specific job, no matter where he was or what he was doing, and he would know it when it happened.

This warning had a powerful effect on James. Instead of continuing his promising life, he dropped out of college, abandoned his career plans, and stopped caring about personal relationships.

He decided he only had five years left before losing control of his life, so he spent his time partying and making just enough money delivering pizzas to enjoy himself before “they” took him over. In reality, none of the predicted events happened.

Five years later, in August 1993, he and others were still living their normal lives. James’s life, however, had been badly damaged by believing these lies.

Dr. Karla pointed out that the best way to make someone believe a lie is to sandwich it between two truths, which is what the woman did.

She explained that during alien encounters, not only are human perceptions controlled, but so are memories and emotions. Researchers like Budd Hopkins and David Jacobs have talked about “screen memories,” where abductees remember seeing something ordinary—like a deer or a rabbit—when in fact something alien had happened. But Karla said the manipulation went much deeper than just those quick screen images.

She said that during encounters, aliens could control pain, pleasure (including sexual pleasure), and emotions. In every encounter, the abductee is under some level of control, often much more than they realize.

Another important point she made was that false memories could be implanted over real events, making abductees remember things that never actually happened. Even under hypnosis, these implanted memories could sometimes stay in place unless special techniques were used to break through them.

Dr. Karla Turner shared a story about a woman named Joy who had an unusual experience. Joy found herself in a room, much like the lecture hall they were sitting in, standing at a podium.

Joy believed she had a beautiful spiritual experience where she read messages from a strange book to a group of smiling grey aliens, feeling deep love and acceptance.

But under hypnosis, it was revealed that this memory was a false illusion. In reality, she was naked, suspended in a beam of light, and used by aliens for medical examinations and sexual abuse. She cried out to God for help, but none came.

The trauma from this real event deeply changed her life, affecting her faith, her sexuality, and her emotional well-being for the next 20 years, even though she didn’t consciously remember the true event until much later.

Dr. Karla then explained an important point: abductees, even though they report their experiences honestly and sincerely, are actually reporting what the aliens want them to perceive.

What abductees see, feel, and remember is heavily manipulated. She emphasized that while abductees are truthful in their reports, their memories are often filled with illusions, false emotions, and distorted perceptions created by the aliens.

She highlighted that human involvement is also a real part of the abduction phenomenon. Besides alien interactions, many abductees report being monitored and harassed by human agents, such as through helicopter surveillance or military interventions.

Dr. Karla shared that her husband had been abducted and interrogated by a military group in 1988, an event she hadn’t even heard of happening to others at the time and which disturbed her even more than the alien encounters.

Dr. Karla Turner explained that in her book Taken, she included four more accounts of women whose lives had been interfered with by what appeared to be military or human forces, not just aliens.

Although she couldn’t publicly share all the hard evidence because of confidentiality, she was convinced by the information they had — names, dates, places, and military bases were all documented. She emphasized that it was not just an alien trick; it was very real.

She went on to say that whatever the alien abduction agenda really is, it clearly involves very physical actions and procedures. These actions suggest the aliens’ goals are not purely spiritual. Much of what happens during abductions seems to go far beyond just creating hybrid babies.

She pointed out that if aliens were only interested in breeding hybrids, then people would have to explain why there are so many other strange procedures being done.

For example, implants are inserted into many parts of the body — the brain, ears, neck, spine, legs, hips, and even, in one notable case, into a man’s penis. Some implants have been seen on x-rays, CAT scans, and MRIs, while others do not show up at all. A few implants have been physically removed, but according to Karla, no tests have yet revealed what they really are or what they do inside the human body.

She also described other disturbing procedures like the insertion of wires and tubes into people’s chests, kidneys, ovaries, knees, and feet. Aliens have been reported taking bodily fluids and injecting unknown substances into different parts of the body. Brain surgeries were also frequently reported by abductees, with many saying it felt like their heads were opened and their brains removed.

Dr. Karla talked about deliberate pain experiments where abductees were tortured to study their reactions, and possibly even for the aliens’ amusement.

She mentioned bizarre procedures, such as abductees being immersed in liquid and forced to breathe it, a method now often mentioned by other researchers like Budd Hopkins and David Jacobs.

Dr. Karla questioned what breathing liquid had to do with crossbreeding. She also described cases where abductees were forced to drink or eat unknown substances that had strange effects, like making them passive or hypnotized. One woman, Angie, was given a bitter red liquid that made her pass out, after which she was interrogated by several beings.

Dr. Karla also talked about the topic of cloning. She said she wasn’t just referring to the idea that the small gray alien workers were mass-produced like cars in a factory. She was also talking about the cloning of human bodies.

Sometimes abductees are shown bodies that are exact copies of themselves. Other times, they see many identical human bodies that are just lying there, lifeless.

In one case, a man was taken to a place where he saw about 40 human bodies—20 males and 20 females. All the males looked exactly alike, and all the females looked exactly alike. They were all young, blonde, and very healthy-looking.

Karla questioned what all of this cloning and body production had to do with the alien agenda, especially the crossbreeding program. She pointed out that the aliens’ goals weren’t only physical. They also focused on long-term psychological programming of abductees. The aliens seemed to target people’s personal relationships, their views on sex, their political beliefs, and their religious ideas.

For example, many abductees reported becoming highly suspicious of their government after their experiences. Some even felt paranoid around others, both inside and outside of the UFO community.

Dr. Karla shared that one woman named Jane, who was featured in her book Taken, said that the aliens made her distrust the government. Similarly, abductees often found their spiritual beliefs changed.

Dr. Karla said aliens can create virtual reality experiences that seem completely real to abductees. She shared a case of Ted Rice.

In the early 1990s, Ted was visiting friends in Florida when something strange happened. One night, he heard his hostess, Marie, screaming for help. When Ted ran to her room, he saw a blue glowing sphere around the bed where another guest, Frances, was lying. Frances was frozen, unable to move, and seemed to be having a conversation with things that no one else could see.

Frances later described how she heard what sounded like a helicopter overhead. She looked up and saw the ceiling dissolve, revealing a strange craft above the house. Two alien beings came from the craft and communicated with her. Ted and Marie, outside the blue energy sphere, only saw the light and could not hear what Frances was experiencing. If they hadn’t been there to witness it, Frances would have believed she had a completely real encounter. This case, Karla said, proved that aliens can create incredibly convincing illusions.

Karla also brought up a troubling fact: aliens seem to have a mysterious interest in the human soul. Even though this isn’t talked about much publicly, she emphasized that many abductees report experiences related to souls.

For example, a young girl was asked by aliens if they could “borrow her soul.” Two different abductees from St. Louis both described being shown a huge metallic sphere in space, which they were told was a “soul recycling center.” Others have memories of living past lives in alien bodies. One man even recalled seeing his young human body die, his soul being captured, and then inserted into a new body with the help of alien technology.

Dr. Karla defined propaganda as any organized effort to spread a specific belief or idea. In her view, aliens are using propaganda on abductees. They shape what people believe about them by using their ability to create illusions and virtual realities. Sometimes they appear as familiar faces, like dead relatives or even celebrities, to make abductees more compliant during encounters. In many cases, they even appear as religious figures like Jesus, always with specific features, such as blue eyes and blonde hair.

Dr. Karla explains that aliens seem to encourage humans to believe they are beautiful and compassionate. They do this by showing themselves as attractive beings, knowing that humans often wrongly associate beauty with goodness. She warns that this manipulation plays on our emotions rather than on any real proof of their true nature.
