"...despite the fact that we humans are great collectors of souvenirs, not one of these persons [claiming to have been aboard a flying saucer] has brought back so much as an extraterrestrial tool or artifact, which could, once and for all, resolve the UFO mystery."
- Philip Klass
The alien abduction story that really ignited the cult about alien visitation and experimentation is
the Betty and Barney Hill story. The Hills claim to have been abducted by aliens on September 19, 1961.
The rise in UFO sightings is, of course, attributed to an increase in alien activity on Earth. The aliens are abducting people in larger numbers, are leaving other signs of their presence in the form of so-called crop circles, are involved in cattle mutilation, and occasionally provide revelations such as the Urantia Book to selected prophets.
According to a Gallup poll done at the end of the twentieth century, about one-third of Americans believe aliens have visited us.
In the body of alien lore, The Greys are interstellar pirates, marauding in from Zeta Reticuli. Their victims include a number of outcast (when they go public) human beings who insist they've been shanghaied by these visitors. These alleged abductees are considered crackers; bull-goose looney.
Tales of UFO contacts have become commonplace, but contact with The Greys themselves is highly suspect, and talking about it is tantamount to saying you're ready for a long rest stay at the laughing academy.
One of the main theories of alien abduction centers on the notion that Greys are clones, and like mules, or clones we have created, are incapable of reproducing. I guess it sounds kind of racist, but, they might be clones. The Greys all look alike!
The Greys abduct human males and females to extract sperm, ova, and other samples of our genetic sequences for reasons unknown.
The Heisenburg Uncertainty Principle (referring to quantum mechanics and the uncertainty of the location and momentum of an electron in orbit) postulates that genetic sequences break down and begin to have errors in the sequence after several generations of continuous cloning. This, they say, is what happened to The Greys.
Cloning from clones, after several generations, is equivalent to living in say, Bugtussle, Arkansas, where errors in the code accumulate due to to intermarriage within too small a genetic pool--not unlike the chinless wonders that still inhabit some of Europe's thrones. The Hapsburg's may be gone, but you can certainly see the effects of too tight a gene pool in the very visages of the horse-faced Windsors. Prince Charles' sons, to some extent, escaped that fate, having an infusion of their mother's gene sequences. But this is digressing pretty far from The Greys' genetic issues.
DNA looks pretty digital to me, but apparently, cloning is similar to to the analog duplication of an audio or video cassette from another recording (like some of those fourth generation Grateful Dead shows I used to have). As copies are copied, the overall fidelity and quality decreases. Therefore the Greys need to frequently freshen their code.
Human mutations from one generation to the next increase diversity. The mutations created don't involve the function of major systems of the body. With clones, however, the mutations are copied from one generation to another, and as the number of mutations accumulate, the chance of a fatal or highly defective mutation increases rather than decreases. In a closed system clones like this Mutation=Mutilation.
While the Greys allegedly successfully cross-breed their genetic material with that of humans, their actual knowledge of truly advanced genetic engineering appears slim and the Greys have little control over the genetic code of the hybrids. Thus, cloning eventually becomes fatal to the Greys, and has left them racially impure, since much of their population are now hybrids.
Abductees often experience memory loss and "missing time". Some of them have been able to recall their abductions from memory and others have recalled their abductions by the aid of hypnosis (Betty Hill for one). Often these encounters involve being taken aboard an alien craft and examined by the Greys and put through a variety of physical and mental procedures. Naturally, many of these experiments involve sex and reproduction. When the individuals are returned, they become, as Dark Skies termed it throwbacks. Many of the abduction victims are reported to show signs of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.
A 1992 Roper Poll tells that one in fifty people believe they have had these experiences. If it is true then it is also possible that what is occurring with abductees may be the beginning of something much larger.
There has been some material evidence of Alien contacts. There have been markings and injuries on abductees, including scoop-marks in the flesh, incisions, burns, apparent radiation exposure, bruises, inflammation, etc. Skeptics believe these marks are self-inflicted.
Recovered implants are yet to be identified as alien in nature. They could be similar to the stones that are found in kidneys which are normal concretion, usually composed of mineral salts, occurring chiefly in the hollow organs of their passages.
No one seems to have staked out, or performed long term observation on abductees who claim to be visited by their alien raptors on a regular basis. Professor David Jacob's book
The Threat says "Training a video camera and recorder on an abductee every night has produced limited results. Some abductees report a dramatic decrease in abductions. Most report that the frequency of abductions tends to decrease only a bit. So far, no abductions have been videotaped. Rather, tapes reveal people getting up and inexplicably turning off the VCR, or unusual power outages during which the camera turns off, or the camera simply goes off mysteriously." Of course, anyone with the ability to travel in space ships at the speed of light, communicate telepathically, and stealthily conquer earth, might also be able to shut off a camera without being seen.
This is all basically hot-air until we capture an alien in the act,
in flagrante. . .but as fantastic as the story is, it has become an accepted part of the lore of UFOs and alien contact.
