Alien Abductions

Since the beginning of time humans have been fascinated by the heavens. We have based entire religions around it; we depend on its stars for life. We've spent years perfecting the art of flying just so we could brush across the impassive face of it, closer than we were ever meant to be. We glance up into the night sky, and we ask ourselves, 'How was this made? Why? Is there an end to it? What is its purpose, its secrets?' and most often of all, 'Out of all the billions of galaxies, and planets, are there others out there? Are we truly alone?'

According to motion pictures, ET fanatics, and even some scientists and astronomers, earth not only has neighbors flying around, but these neighbors have been making a habit of dropping by for a visit. But instead of borrowing a cup f sugar or some other necessity that could have been bought at the dollar store for a handful of change, Aliens seem to have an unquenchable interest when it comes to their human counterparts.

Since 1966, there have been 120,000 reported incidents of alien abduction. Professor Richard McNally, from Harvard University, told the BBC,

"I have found that many of them share personality traits and sleep disorders. Most of them had pre-existing new-age-beliefs - they were into bio-energetic therapies, past lives, astral projection, tarot cards, and so on," he said. "Second, they had episodes of apparent sleep paralysis accompanied by hallucinations." So if Professor McNally is to be believed, then anyone who claims to have made contact with aliens isn't anyone that the government or even the public would view as a reliable witness. A crackpot, for lack of a more PC term.

However, if it were only the 'crackpots' who were claiming to be abducted, then the theory that Aliens existed would have had much less weight behind it.

In 1961 Betty and Barney Hill, forty-one and thirty-nine respectively, were on the road to Canada for their vacation. At 10:00 pm on September 19^th, while on their way back home, Barney, who was driving, looked into the sky and saw what appeared to be an erratically moving star. Just north of Woodstock, amazed at the increasingly odd behavior of the 'star' the Hill's stopped their car and got out to take a closer look. Looking through binoculars, Barney realized that what he had believed was a star was actually an unidentified object. He could make out different colored lights and back-lighted against several rows of windows, he could also make out what looked like people inside.

The next thing the Hill's remember is being frightened by the UFO and getting into their car to drive away. As they sped off down the highway the Hill's say that they began to notice a consistent beeping sound. It was their gas hand. Though full before, it was now almost empty. Though they only remember driving for a few minutes the Hill's were actually 35 miles down the road. They'd lost over two hours of time.

The next morning, after her sister convinced her to all and report the incident to their local Air Force base, Betty learned from Major Paul W. Henderson that radar had confirmed the presence of a UFO.

Though they tried to put the incident behind them, soon Betty began to have nightmares about her and her husband being physically forced into a strange aircraft. Because of the desire to know what, if anything had happened during their missing time, the Hill's decided to contact a psychiatrist by the name Dr. Benjamin Simon.

After six grueling months, with the aid of regressive hypnosis, the Hill's were able to put together everything that had happened that night. After jumping back into their car their car had stalled. The UFO had landed in the middle of the road, blocking in the Hill's and aliens came to their car and carried both Betty and Barney onto the ship. Betty struggled and in the struggle her dress was ripped.

This report is fairly important because it's one of the few alien abduction cases in which physical evidence could be gathered. I.E the ripped dress, which experts say had its seams stretched to the point of breaking, as if it were indeed ripped apart, and covered in strange pink dust. The UFO Hunters, whose show can be seen every Wednesday on the History Channel, ran tests on Betty's now forty-year-old dress in March of this year. The tests were inconclusive. The pink powder was unidentifiable so there was no proof that the Hill's had really been abducted. And yet there is no proof that they hadn't been either. After all, what reason would the Hill's have had to lie? They weren't receiving money for it; the constant attention bothered them so that they tried their best to stay out of the public eye, and both of them were, by all appearances, mentally, and emotionally stable individuals.

There are thousands of cases that resemble the Hills'. A woman with seven children recalls being put into a 'trance-like state' when alien visitors came into her home one night. A 17-year-old boy claims to have been snatched from his field as he worked and put through a series of tests, the results of which had him diagnosed with severe radiation poisoning over the next few days.

On July 23^rd, 1992 Peter Khoury, while in bed due to a work injury, claimed to have been visited by two women: A blond and a brunette, whom, according to Khoury, didn't look completely human. Their faces were somewhat odd - not unattractive, but too chiseled, with very high cheekbones and eyes that were two or three times larger than normal. Khoury took special notice of the blond whose face he felt was much too long.

"I've never seen a human looking like that," he said, "and there was something stiff, almost blank, in their expressions."

Khoury claims that a brief struggle ensued with the women (after the pre-requisite seduction and foreplay of course), during which he was able to injure the blond.

"I don't know why I bit her, but even after I had and a piece of her nipple came away in my mouth, she did not cry out. But the expression on her face was like, 'this isn't the way it's supposed to happen.' In a way it was like she was just shocked or confused.

Khoury later found a single strand of long blond hair wrapped around the head of his penis and after removing it he put the two strands into plastic bags.

"The reason I did that was because I knew that there was no way, no way at all, that a hair that size and wrapped around the way it was should have been there...Thinking of these women...something bizarre had just happened."

According to a report given by Bill Chalker from an edition of the 1999 International UFO Reporter (CUFOS quarterly);

"The pieces of hair, carefully stored away since the encounter, became the subject of the first openly-reported scientific DNA test on a possible abduction-related sample. The blond hairs were extremely thin and almost clear in color. It was determined that the hair was not chemically treated, because if it had been, little o r no mitochondrial DNA could have been recovered. However, using the PCR 9polymerase chain reaction) process, good quality DNA could have been recovered.

For comparison, samples were also taken of Peter Khoury's hair and that of his wife Vivian. After thorough testing of the hair samples, the scientists of the Anomaly Physical Evidence Group arrived at a startling conclusion. The thin blond hair, which appeared to have come from a light-skinned Caucasian-type woman, could not have come from a normal human of that racial type. Instead the hair showed five distinctive DNA markers that are characteristic of a rare sub-group of the Chinese Mongoloid cultural type.

A detailed survey of the text on variation is Mitochondrial DNA, comprising tens of thousands of samples, showed only four other people on record with all five of the distinctive markers in the blond hair. All four were Chinese, with black hair."

Khoury had been the victim of several alien encounters prior to this, one of which involved his father and brother and another with his wife.

Most all of these cases have been looked over carefully. Victims have been subjected to polygraph tests, psychological studies with licensed doctors and in some cases CAT scans and drug tests. Because of these tests scientists have been forced to conclude that some abductees have been telling the truth.

So, are we alone in the universe? Let's recap. First off we have implants, which are small piece of metal that are not only magnetic, but which also emit high frequency signals. Something that is usually only found in long distance radio waves and the frequency used for sending and receiving messages from satellites. Doctors have found that in some cases, the bits of metal will stop emitting this frequency once they are removed from the body.

According to UFO Hunters, there's a case concerning one man whose chip was buried under a mass of nerves with tissue growing around it. The man's body had accepted the chip when logically it should have rejected it. Doctors attempted to remove the chip using arthroscopy, a procedure in which surgeons insert a pencil-thin device that contains a small lens and lighting system to magnify and illuminate structures inside the joint. By attaching the arthroscope to a miniature television camera, the surgeon is able to see the interior of the joint through a very small incision rather than the larger cuts normally needed for surgery. However, during this particular case, the surgeon noticed that every time he attempted to cut the metal piece out, it moved away.

"The chips was moving through his body as if it were swimming in water rather than nerves and tissue. There was no liquid where the chip was located so it shouldn't have been moving as it was."

Are we alone in the universe? For thousands of years and reported from every place on earth, there have been sightings of crafts in the sky. They don't move like our airplanes or jets. They emit strange colored lights. Sometimes they even dance for us.

During the 1991 solar eclipse in New Mexico, over 15,000 people witnessed UFO's hovering over the buildings and flying in odd patterns. There were at least three of these unidentified crafts and videos taken from the incident show that the crafts were disk shaped with domes on their tops. Video clips featuring the footage can be viewed on YouTube.

One of the more recent episodes of alien contact happened just last year. A brief mention was made of it in the news and then nothing else was heard about it. Apparently NASA received a signal from space. Signals that created an obvious pattern. The message was asking for future contact. At the time congress was debating on whether or not the message should be answered and as far as I know they have yet to respond. Are we alone? I want you to consider the evidence. Look at the facts supporting and refuting the theory and ask yourself, 'How could we be?'
