Book excerpt: They are tiny. They are tall. They are gray. They are green. They survey our world with enormous glowing eyes. To conduct their shocking experiments, they creep in at night to carry humans off to their spaceships. Yet there is no evidence that they exist at all. So how could anyone believe he or she was abducted by aliens? Or want to believe it? To answer these questions, psychologist Susan Clancy interviewed and evaluated "abductees"--old and young, male and female, religious and agnostic. She listened closely to their stories--how they struggled to explain something strange in their remembered experience, how abduction seemed plausible, and how, having suspected abduction, they began to recollect it, aided by suggestion and hypnosis. Clancy argues that abductees are sane and intelligent people who have unwittingly created vivid false memories from a toxic mix of nightmares, culturally available texts (abduction reports began only after stories of extraterrestrials appeared in films and on TV), and a powerful drive for meaning that science is unable to satisfy. For them, otherworldly terror can become a transforming, even inspiring experience. "Being abducted," writes Clancy, "may be a baptism in the new religion of this millennium." This book is not only a subtle exploration of the workings of memory, but a sensitive inquiry into the nature of belief.

Download or read book Top Secret Alien Abduction Files written by Nick Redfern and published by Red Wheel Weiser. This book was released on 2018-11-01 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why and how the government monitors those who have been kidnapped by strange, unearthly beings with even stranger agendas, from the author of Final Events. For decades, people have reported close encounters with extraterrestrial entities. Witnesses describe being kidnapped by large-headed, black-eyed creatures from other worlds. Those same creatures have become popularly known as “the Grays.” There is, however, another aspect to the alien abduction controversy. Abductees very often report being followed and spied upon by military and government personnel. It is typical for abductees to see black helicopters hovering directly over their homes in an intimidating manner. Phone calls are monitored. Emails are hacked into. Strange men dressed in black suits are seen photographing the homes of the abductees. All of this brings us to the matter of what have become known in the domain of alien abduction research as “Military Abductions,” or “MILABS.” According to numerous abductees, after being kidnapped by aliens they are kidnapped again . . . by the government. These follow-up events are the work of a powerful group hidden deep within the military and the intelligence community. It is the secret agenda of this highly classified organization to figure out what the so-called Grays are really up to. And, the best way for the government to get the answers is to interrogate those who have come face-to-face with the UFO phenomenon: the abductees. Why is the government secretly compiling files on alien abductees? Is the alien abduction issue so sinister that it has become a matter of national security proportions?

Download or read book Abductions and Aliens written by Chris A. Rutkowski and published by Dundurn. This book was released on 1999-09-01 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We can't escape them; aliens are everywhere. They sell us soft drinks and star in their own sitcoms. But to the many people who believe they have been abducted aboard strange crafts, aliens are a very serious reality. Stories of these encounters, taken from investigators' files, have been vividly depicted in television specials and motion pictures. Despite their predominance as a cultural phenomenon, experts offer drastically conflicting opinions: aliens are harmless creatures whose aim is to better understand humans; aliens are angel-like entities here to enhance our spiritual awareness; aliens are conspiring with the government in a plot to enslave humans; and aliens are genetically breeding with humans to create a new race of hybrids. But, what is really going on? Are aliens abducting thousands of unsuspecting people each year? Are they then inserted with tracking devices and monitored? Based on his own investigative files and almost twenty-five years of research, science writer Chris Rutkowski asks hard questions, looking critically, yet compassionately, at the stories of abductees. He is an astronomer, educator and published commentator within the area of study known as "ufology." Rutowski presents case histories of many abductees, showing both their diversity and similarities, and examines how our understanding is shaped by media, by science, and by society itself.

This book was released on 2018-11-17 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Are we alone in the universe?' This is a question that mankind has pondered for many millennia. There are over two-hundred-and-fifty-billion stars within our Milky Way galaxy alone; and there are at least one-hundred-billion galaxies in the observable universe. Considering the sheer magnitude of these numbers, one must conclude that there must be trillions upon trillions of planets within our universe. It would then seem logical, that a percentage of these trillions of worlds must contain intelligent life.So, the real question that mankind should be asking is not, 'Are we alone in the universe?', rather we should instead be asking, 'How long will it be until humanity finally meets its interstellar alien neighbours?'Of course, there are those who claim that this meeting between human beings and alien beings has already taken place.In Volume Two of Duncan Murphy's 'Close Encounters', we will explore five true cases of people who claim to have encountered UFO's and have been abducted by aliens. -The Charles Hickson & Calvin Parker Abduction: More commonly known as 'The Pascagoula Abduction'. A simple fishing trip becomes a harrowing experience for two fishermen when they unexpectedly encounter a UFO and its strange occupants. -The Longley Abduction: A happy family traveling along a quiet rural road in Australia suddenly find themselves being taken by otherworldly beings.-The Linda Cortile Abduction: In the bustling city of New York, aliens snatch a woman from her bed in the middle of the night; An incident with many eyewitnesses. - The Betty Andreasson Abduction: After being taken from her home by alien beings, a woman is surprised to discover that she has repressed a lifetime's worth of memories involving previous abduction experiences and strange alien experimentation.-The Kelly Cahill Encounter: A deeply terrifying incident involving a young woman, her husband, a UFO, and a possible link to the truly frightening paranormal phenomenon, 'Shadow People'. It doesn't matter if you are a believer, a skeptic, or are simply uncertain; the concept of alien abduction is simply fascinating, and Volume Two of 'Close Encounters' by Duncan Murphy takes readers on an informative journey into this fascinating topic.

Book excerpt: New Hampshire couple Betty and Barney Hill provided Americans with what is essentially the original alien abduction story. Since their story became public in the early 1960s, many thousands of Americans have likewise come forward with similar stories of traumatic experiences. Sometimes the abductee has little conscious recollection of these events, but through nightmares, dreams, flashbacks and hypnosis they eventually learn more. Sometimes the participants are bewildered. To get a better understanding of the opposing viewpoints of skeptic and believer, the Betty and Barney Hill case is used to examine the wider context of such encounters, their historical origins, media influences and the latest extraterrestrial, psychological, paranormal, conspiracy and sociological theories that surround them.
