        The UFO/Alien/Abduction Phenomenon And

                       The Spiritual Connection


The year 1947 marked the beginning of the modern UFO era, as that's when the 'flying saucer' mystery first came to the notice of the public. As the next millennium is rapidly approaching, and after 50 years of research, as well as millions of sightings all over the world (from all walks of life), UFOlogists and abduction researchers have replaced the question of, "are they real?", with, "what are they, and where do they come from?"

 Quite a few (but not all) UFO researchers believe that they are extraterrestrial in origin, and by the time the 1970s rolled around, a special classification system was established, since the sightings had increased at a more rapid rate. There are also more subdivisions, but the most important ones are as follows:

CE-1 (Close Encounter Of The First Kind) - An unidentified object seen in daylight conditions, or anomalous lights seen in conditions of darkness.

CE-2 (Close Encounter Of The Second Kind) - An unidentified object that leaves physical evidence such as indentations or patterns on the ground, broken or burned tree limbs, etc. Physical evidence may also be in the form of interference or disruption of electrical equipment in the vicinity of the sighting event.

CE-3 (Close Encounter Of The Third Kind) - A sighting in which some kind of occupants are observed in or around the UFO.

CE-4 (Close Encounter Of The Fourth Kind) - A sighting in which the witness reports being abducted and taken aboard the UFO by its occupants.

 CE-5 (Close Encounter Of The Fifth Kind) - A sighting event in which the witness is either hurt or killed during the course of the event.

After many years, as well as many more sightings, the question of what they really were, let alone, where their source of origin lies, still remained unanswered. One significant and consistent pattern that arose, was the ability of many UFO's to shape-shift and/or appear and disappear (as opposed to flying in and out of the sighting area). This ability absolutely transcends the physical or natural realm, and enters the supernatural realm.

Two prominent UFO researchers; Dr. J. Allen Hynek and Dr. Jacques Vallee, had mentioned this characteristic in their book, "The Edge Of Reality". The following is an excerpt from their book: "If UFO's are, indeed, somebody else's "nuts and bolts hardware", then we must still explain how such tangible hardware can change shape before our eyes, vanish in a Cheshire cat
manner (not even leaving a grin), seemingly melt away in front of us, or apparently "materialize" mysteriously before us without apparent detection by persons nearby or in neighboring towns. We must wonder, too, where UFO's are "hiding" when not manifesting themselves to human eyes."

The year 1961 brought us the first abduction case to have been thoroughly investigated: The Betty and Barney Hill abduction case, which had gained World-Wide attention. Back then, anyone who believed in "flying saucers" was considered to be on the 'fringe', and, the few UFO researchers out there had to work very hard at establishing some modicum of credibility. It would take several more years before the concept of "Space Brothers" would gain acceptance. "A majority of the public and practically every scientist has thought UFO's were nonsense, and that is why there are few UFO detectives. Now things are changing. So many people have seen strange phenomena that a new belief has been born...Unfortunately once disturbed from its comfortable position of rest, the public will shift to the other extreme and start believing in space visitations." -- Jacques Vallee, "Messengers of Deception".

It wasn't until the Betty and Barney Hill incident, that the abduction phenomena took a sinister turn. Since the dawn of abduction research, and thousands upon thousands of cases later, many reports showed strange yet similar characteristics. Supposedly, these so called "aliens" were randomly (or selectively) abducting certain people so that they could perform medical experiments, as well as convey a message, such as: "We are here to help you", and "Humanity is in trouble". etc.

Here are some interesting observations from the late Dr. Karla Turner, who was a researcher as well as an experiencer (herself). Taken from, "Aliens - Friends or Foes?" -- by Dr. Karla Turner:

- Aliens can alter our perceptions of our surroundings.
- Aliens can control what we think we see. They can appear to us {in} any number of guises and        shapes.
- Aliens can be present with us in an invisible state and can make themselves only partially visible.
- Abductees receive marks on their bodies other than the well-known scoops and straight-line scars. These other marks include single punctures, multiple punctures, large bruises, three and four fingered claw marks, and triangles of every possible sort.
- Female abductees often suffer serious gynecological problems after their alien encounters, and sometimes these problems lead to cysts, tumors, cancerof the breast and uterus, and hysterectomies.
- A surprising number of abductees suffer from serious illnesses they didn't have before their encounters. These have led to surgery, debilitation, and even death from causes the doctors can't identify.
- Abductees often encounter more than one sort of alien during an experience, not just the greys. Every possible combination of grey, reptoid, insectoid, blond and widow's peak have been seen during single abductions, aboard the same craft or in the same facility.
- Abductees report being scoffed at, jeered at, and threatened by their alien captors. Painful genital and anal probes are performed...Unknown fluids are injected into some abductees.- Abductees ("virgin cases") report being taken to underground facilities where they see grotesque hybrid creatures, nurseries of hybrid humanoid fetuses, and vats of colored liquid filled with parts of human bodies.
- Abductees report seeing other humans in these facilities being drained of blood, being mutilated, flayed, and dismembered, and stacked, lifeless like cords of wood. Some abductees have been threatened that they, too, will end up in this condition if they don't cooperated with their alien captors.
- Aliens come into homes and temporarily remove young children, leaving their distraught parents paralyzed and helpless. In cases where a parent has been able to protest, the aliens insist that "the children belong to us".
- Aliens have forced their human abductees to have sexual intercourse with aliens and even with other abductees while groups of aliens and even other abductees observe these performances. In such encounters, the aliens have sometimes disguised themselves in order to gain the cooperation of the abductee, appearing in such forms as Jesus, the Pope, certain celebrities, and even the dead spouses of the abductees.
- Aliens perform extremely painful experiments or procedures on abductees, saying that these acts are necessary but give no explanation why. Painful genital and anal probes are performed, on children as well as adults.
- Aliens make predictions of an imminent period of global chaos and destruction.They say that a certain number of humans...will be "rescued" from the planet in order to continue the species, either on another planet or back on earth after the destruction is over. Many abductees report they don't believe their alien captors and foresee instead a much more sinister use of the
"rescued" humans.

"In every instance from this list, there are multiple reports from unrelated cases, confirming that such bizarre details are not the product of a single deranged mind. These details are convincing evidence that, contrary to the claims of many UFO researchers, the abduction experience isn't limited to uniform patterns of events. This phenomenon simply can't be explained in terms of cross-breeding experiments or scientific research into the human physiology...Before we allow ourselves to believe in the benevolence of the alien interaction, we should ask, do enlightened beings need to use the cover of night to perform good deeds? Do they need to paralyze us and render us helpless to resist? Do angels need to steal our fetuses? Do they need to manipulate our children's genitals and probe our rectums? Are fear, pain, and deception consistent with high spiritual motives?"

The above are some extremely important questions, as well as fair questions; and ones that need to be honestly asked by anyone and everyone involved in the UFO/Abduction arena, whether they are abductees (experiencers), researchers, or just merely curious.

The UFO/Alien/Abduction Phenomenon & The Spiritual Connection

 (Part two.)

More than fifty years later, and after millions of eye-witness accounts, as
well as many photographs and video clips, we still are left without one
solitary shred of physical proof -- only question marks! So, what is really
going on here, and what can we deduce from all of this extensive research so
far? The research to date, strongly suggests that UFOs and "aliens" are
spiritual and not physical manifestations. The data also reveals that the
phenomena displays a highly deceptive nature as well.

"Because they are now appearing in a new, modern guise should tell us
something about their purposes. Man was not so ignorant in the past that he
could not accurately describe a "flying saucer". Rather, the "flying
saucers" appeared in different forms in the past. The fact that they have
appeared in different forms over the centuries reveals their purpose:
deceiving men in the historical context of the day in which they appeared.
Real aliens from a far away world would not need to trick people by appearing
in different guises. Deceptive demonic entities would certainly do this."
 

-- "UFO End-Time Delusion," David Allen Lewis & Robert Shreckhise, New Leaf  Press, 1991, p. 120.

The following are pertinent quotes from various UFO writers/researchers
regarding their views on the beguiling nature of UFOs and "aliens":

"I became entirely given over to extreme dread. The fear was so powerful
that it seemed to make my personality completely evaporate... 'Whitley'
ceased to exist. What was left was a body and a state of raw fear so great
that it swept about me like a thick, suffocating curtain, turning paralysis
into a condition that seemed close to death... I died and a wild animal
appeared in my place."
-- Whitley Strieber, "Communion", p. 25-26

"Increasingly I felt as if I were entering a struggle that might even be more
than life and death. It might be a struggle for my soul, my essence, or
whatever part of me might have reference to the external. There are worse
things than death, I suspected ... so far the word demon had never been
spoken among the scientists and doctors who were working with me... Alone at
night I worried about the legendary cunning of demons... At the very least I
was going stark raving mad."
-- Whitley Strieber, "Transformation", p. 44-45

"Why were my visitors so secretive, hiding themselves behind my
consciousness. I could only conclude that they were using me and did not
want me to know why... What if they were dangerous because I was playing a
role in acclimatizing people to them."
-- Whitley Strieber, "Transformation", p. 96

"I wondered if I might not be in the grip of demons; if they were not making
me suffer for their own purposes, or simply for their enjoyment."
-- Whitley Strieber, "Transformation", p. 172

"I felt an absolutely indescribable sense of menace. It was hell on earth to
be there [in the presence of the entities], and yet I couldn't move, couldn't
cry out, couldn't get away. I'd lay as still as death suffering inner
agonies. Whatever was there seemed so monstrously ugly, so filthy and dark
and sinister. Of course they were demons. They had to be. And they were
here and I couldn't get away."
-- Whitley Strieber, "Transformation", p. 181

"The 'medical examination' to which abductees are said to be subjected, often
accompanied by sadistic sexual manipulation, is reminiscent of the medieval
tales of encounters with demons. It makes no sense in a sophisticated or
technical framework: any intelligent being equipped with the scientific
marvels that UFOs possess would be in a position to achieve any of these
alleged scientific objectives in a shorter time and with fewer risks."
-- Dr. Jacques Vallee, "Confrontations", p. 13

"Human beings are under the control of a strange force that bends them in
absurd ways, forcing them to play a role in a bizarre game of deception."
-- Dr. Jacques Vallee, "Messengers Of Deception", p. 20

"The symbolic display seen by the abductees is identical to the type of
initiation ritual or astral voyage that is embedded in the [occult]
traditions of every culture... The structure of abduction stories is
identical to that of occult initiation rituals...the UFO beings of today
belong to the same class of manifestation as the [occult] entities that were
described in centuries past."
-- Dr. Jacques Vallee citing the extensive research of Bertrand Meheust,
Science-Fiction et Soucoupes Volantes (Paris 1978); "Confrontations", p. 146,
p. 159-161

"We are dealing with a multidimensional paraphysical phenomenon which is
largely indigenous to planet earth."
-- Brad Steiger, [cited in] Blue Book Files Released in Canadian UFO Report,
Vol. 4, No. 4, 1977, p. 20

"We are part of a symbiotic relationship with something which disguises
itself as an extra-terrestrial invasion so as not to alarm us."
-- Terrence McKenna, [taken from a lecture].

"One theory which can no longer be taken very seriously is that UFOs are
interstellar spaceships."
-- Arthur C. Clarke, New York Times Book Review, 7-27-75

"There seems to be no evidence yet that any of these craft or beings
originate from outer space."
-- Gordon Creighton, Official 1992 Flying Saucer Review Policy Statement

"UFO behavior is more akin to magic than to physics as we know it... the
modern UFOnauts and the demons of past days are probably identical."
-- Dr. Pierre Guerin, FSR Vol. 25, No. 1, p. 13-14

"The UFO manifestations seem to be, by and large, merely minor variations of
the age-old demonological phenomenon..."
-- John A. Keel, UFOs: Operation Trojan Horse, p. 299

"A working knowledge of occult science... is indispensable to UFO
investigation."
-- Trevor James, FSR Vol. 8, No. 1, p. 10

"Studies of flying saucer cults repeatedly show that they are part of a
larger occult social world."
-- Strupple & McNeece, 1979 MUFON UFO symposium Proceedings, p. 49

"But the UFO phenomenon simply does not behave like extraterrestrial
visitors. It actually molds itself in order to fit a given culture."
-- John Ankerberg, The Facts on UFOs and Other Supernatural Phenomena, p. 10

"These entities are clever enough to make Strieber think that they care about
him. Yet his torment by them never ceases. Whatever his relationship to the
entities, and he increasingly concludes that their involvement with him is
something 'good', he also remains terrified of them and uncertain as to what
they are."
-- John Ankerberg, The Facts on UFOs and Other Supernatural Phenomena, p. 21

"I've come away from this experience convinced of one thing: if there aren't
any demons out there, there might as well be, because these guys are
indistinguishable from demons. Indistinguishable. To see them, to look into
their eyes, is to be less forever........"
-- Whitley Strieber, MUFON Journal, September 1993

What exactly is it that we're dealing with? Amidst the highly elusive nature
of this whole enigma, many contactees/abductees/experiencers have had various
'prophesies' delivered to them by these so-called 'aliens' since the 1950s
and up to the present; many of which neglected to come true, or were on the
order of total disinformation or just plain utter nonsense. Quite a few of
the messages were/are in reference to warnings of impending cataclysms (which
the aliens will help/save us). Messages of false hope, so that they can gain
our trust in return?

So, what is going on? New Age aliens razzling and dazzling us with a promise
of a shiny bright new millennium, or something far more sinister, such as a
well designed plan to control undiscerning minds? The confirmation seems to
point to the latter. If we don't exactly know who/what it is that we're
dealing with, isn't it far better, then, to err on the side of caution? Our
mental and emotional survival may depend upon it.
