"This doesn't look like Kansas Toto" |
After years of fascination with UFOs and abductions, I'm still waiting for humanity to discover the presence of aliens. I can't wait to watch us freak out, but now-- I'm not so sure that's a good idea.
Let's start with the premise that aliens have been visiting us for some time as some postulate. The UFO phenomenon I've noticed, tends to make the people studying it crazy. We're not good at dealing with the unknown.
Despite centuries of alleged visitations, the aliens seem to have a poor grasp of how we function. Bud Hopkins author of Intruders, who hypnotized dozens of abductees, felt the same way. "The UFO occupants with their hypnotic ability to frame and control at least our short term behavior seem, at the same time, to understand almost nothing about basic human psychology." Like humans studying dolphins, they really don't understand us at all.
The lack of understanding is revealed in encounters that range from mere observation to real fear. Some interactions are more or less friendly where they are inclined to pompous lectures about taking better care of the Earth-to no avail. The scary ones come from uninvited examinations, where we are inspected like lab rats and probed for genetic material to be extracted.
The concern of the aliens only extends to keeping abductees calm and alleviating their physical pain much like a visit to the dentist.
A famous incident involved Antonio Villa-Bois, a farmer inexplicably plowing his field late at night, who was picked up by barking aliens in weird space suits then had sex with a naked female. The fellow was led from the glowing ship by a thin ladder, confused and embarrassed.
Jacques Vallee author of numerous books on the subject, is skeptical that many cases "involve highly implausible scenarios with specific elements that can hardly be expected of intelligent interstellar travelers with superior technologies." You mean like using a swimming pool ladder to get out of a ship? We're primitives to these beings, of course the encounters are going to be simplistic.
Take the case of Carl Hingdon. The aliens rejected him when they discovered he had a vasectomy then unceremoniously dropped him to the ground from several meters up injuring him like the deer they also picked up. Advanced? please.
The big question is if they are here why don't they show themselves? The answer is obvious-- because we're crazy dangerous. You don't walk up to a wild animal and say hi. Read the news. Listen to the wackiness of Coast to Coast, watch The Day the Earth Stood Still, you'll see.
