Horatio: O day and night, but this is wondrous strange!

Hamlet:  And therefore as a stranger give it welcome.
There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

   — Shakespeare,
       Hamlet

Quote (DVD)
While many doubt the reality of alien abductions, even skeptics will be stirred — and disturbed — by the four startling accounts included in this intriguing episode of THE UNEXPLAINED. Using dramatizations to bring these chilling cases to life, and expert analysis to consider their veracity, this riveting release will bring both believers and nonbelievers closer to the truth regarding "close encounters of the fourth kind."
     —Unexplained - Alien Abductions  (A&E Home Video; April 24, 2007)


1.0   Preamble

This web page is about the matter of the so-called Alien Abductions ... which sometimes appear to be emotionally-charged episodes that perfectly ordinary people seems to be experiencing, as the following video clip suggests:

"We are perfectly normal people ..."

Here's a transcript of the narration for the above clip:

We are perfectly normal people ... We are probably your co-workers, your family, or your friends ... and we are having quite extraordinary experiences ... and we're all trying to understand what's happening to us, who's doing it, and why ...

In the www.abduct.com site, under the heading "What is a Contactee, Experiencer, and Participant?", a brief explanation of the terminology about those affected by their Alien Abduction experiences is presented as follows:

Contactee, experiencer, and participant are all terms describing an abductee. However, abductee is the term most recognized by the public. As abductees learn more about their abduction experiences, many prefer to be called contactees, experiencers, or participants.

This shift in terminology often reflects the abductees' change in attitude from fear to acceptance. They accept it because they feel they cannot change the phenomena. They are a product of it and will live with its effects. Or, they may feel compelled to learn more about their abduction experience by meeting with other abductees and working with researchers.

Alien abductions have become commonplace in today’s world. Almost every day, someone in the world reports being abducted by aliens. The usually [sic] statement is that they were sleeping or driving along an abandoned road when they notice a craft hovering. Aliens appear and take the victim on board the craft. People have reported that they are put on a cold flat surface and examined by beings with large eyes and long hands. It is during this time that reports have been made that the abductees were sexually experimented on.

A few people have said that they are forced to crossbreed with an alien. Months later, they are once again abducted and shown their children. Now why would the aliens do this? Some say that this is all an over-active imagination. Yet, the abductees claim this is all real. The theory is that the aliens are trying to create a new race of beings. This subspecies will then be taken to a planet where they will be left free to cultivate and live amongst themselves. Many researchers of this phenomenon believe this is how humans came to be. We could possibly be a subspecies of aliens.

2.0   Alien Abduction - Intro

Just what is this phenomenon called Alien Abduction?

Before delving into definitions and explanations from the encyclopedias and dictionaries, let's have a look at the opening clip of a History Channel documentary, specifically the "Alien Abductions" episode from "The Unexplained":

The Unexplained - "Alien Abductions" - History Channel

Here's a transcript of the narration for the above clip:

Strange lights ... A sense of missing time ... Memories of unearthly beings ...
Claims of alien abduction are one of the more perplexing phenomena of the 20th Century ...
Sometimes called Close Encounters of the Fourth Kind, these experiences are said to involve humans taken aboard UFOs by aliens ...

Skeptic's Dictionary Logo - for www.mysteries-of-the-world.com
In the Skeptic Dictionary (skepdic.com), the following points and ideas are presented:

  • According to a Gallup poll done at the end of the twentieth century, about one-third of Americans believe aliens have visited us, an increase of 5% over the previous decade.

  • [According to UFO/ET believers, the] rise in UFO sightings is due to the 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. ... UFO devotees are also convinced that there is a government and mass media conspiracy to cover up the alien activities ....

  • There is a widespread belief that alien beings have traveled to Earth from some other planet and are doing reproductive experiments on a chosen few. ...

  • Perhaps there are beings who can travel at very fast speeds and have the technology and the raw materials to build vessels that can travel at near the speed of light or greater. Have such beings come here to abduct people, rape and experiment on them?

  • There have been many reports of abduction and sexual violation by creatures who are small and bald or are white, gray, or green; have big craniums, small chins, large slanted eyes, and pointed or no ears.

  • How does one explain the number of such claims and their similarity? The most reasonable explanation for the accounts being so similar is that they are based on the same movies, the same stories, the same television programs, and the same comic strips.

Wikipedia Logo - for www.mysteries-of-the-world.com
Wikipedia, the free, user-editable, online encyclopedia, writes about the abduction phenomenon, as follows:

The term "abduction phenomenon" describes claims of non-human creatures kidnapping individuals and temporarily removing them from familiar terrestrial surroundings. People alleged to have been abducted are called "abductees" or "experiencers". The abductors, usually interpreted as being extraterrestrial life forms, are said to subject experiencers to a forced medical examination that emphasizes the alleged experiencer's reproductive system. Some aspects of the phenomenon are more benign, however, as the alleged entities often warn against environmental abuse and the dangers of nuclear weapons, consequently, while many of these purported encounters are described as terrifying, some have been viewed as pleasant or transformative.

Crystalinks Logo - for www.mysteries-of-the-world.com
A website known as crystalinks, explains alien abduction in this way:

The abduction phenomenon is an umbrella term used to describe a number of hypotheses, claims or assertions stating that non-human creatures kidnap individuals, sometimes called abductees, usually for medical testing or for sexual reproduction procedures. Many such encounters are described as terrifying or humiliating, but others describe them as transformative or even pleasant. Reports of the abduction phenomenon have been made from around the world, but have perhaps seen most mainstream attention in the United States. Most abduction cases show these patterns:
  • Capture (Abductees taken from room/area and find themselves in the "ship")

  • Examination (Probes inserted in different areas, etc.)

  • Communicate ("Aliens" speak with abductees)

  • Tour (Not always described but some abductees claim to be shown the ship)

  • Missing Time or Loss of Time (Many abductees suffer from periods of time removed from their memory, often coming back to them later)

  • Return (Returned, sometimes with environmental changes)

  • Aftermath (Sickness, new phobias, ridicule, etc.)

Such alleged abductions are often closely connected to UFO reports, and are sometimes supposedly conducted by so-called Greys: short, grey-skinned humanoids with large, pear-shaped heads and enormous, dark eyes.

3.0   Betty & Barney Hill

Betty & Barney Hill Alien Abduction case - for www.mysteries-of-the-world.com

The original Alien Abduction case, of course, involved the Hills, i.e., Betty & Barney.

The Skeptic's Dictionary says that:

The alien abduction story that seems to have started the cult beliefs 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. Betty first "remembered" her abduction during a series of nightmares, which she told Barney about. Barney claims the aliens took a sample of his sperm. Betty claims they stuck a needle in her belly button. She took people out to an alien landing spot, but only she could see the aliens and their craft. The Hills recalled most of their story under hypnosis a few years after the abduction. Barney Hill reported that the aliens had "wraparound eyes", a rather unusual feature. However, twelve days earlier an episode of "The Outer Limits" featured just such an alien being .... According to Robert Schaeffer, "we can find all the major elements of contemporary UFO abductions in a 1930 comic adventure, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century."

The Hill's story has been repeated many times. There is a period of amnesia following the alleged encounter. There is then usually a session of hypnosis, counseling or psychotherapy during which comes the recollection of having been abducted and experimented on. The only variation in the abductees' stories is that some claim to have had implants put in them and many claim to have scars and marks on their bodies put there by aliens. All describe the aliens in much the same way.

Wikipedia says that:

The first alien abduction narrative to be widely publicized was the Betty and Barney Hill abduction in 1961 [in the US]. Reports of the abduction phenomenon have been made around the world, but are less common outside of English speaking countries, especially the United States. The contents of the abduction narrative often seem to vary with the home culture of the alleged abductee.

In a 10 Jun 2001 article entitled "A Scientific Explanation of the UFO Mystery", collated on the iwasabducted.com website, the author of the article, Arnold Carbajal, mentioned briefly about the Hills' abduction:

Referring to the Barney and Betty Hill abduction case: The alien told Betty that they had trading routes between stars that were about 37 light years apart; they probably move much faster than light speed to make this trading profitable.
... while in another article, "The Russell Park Incident", also collated on the same website, the article writer, Paul M. Davis, writing about his own alien/UFO encounters ("I have been interested in the subject of aliens, UFOS, and high technology since my first multiple witness flying saucer sighting in 1984." - Davies) mentioned the Hills three times in his article, first in connection with an alien/UFO encounter in which Davis briefly compared the experience to that of the Hills', secondly about the reptoid/reptilian aliens that the Hills encountered during their alien abduction, and thirdly implying that there are aliens who communicate without speaking with their mouths unlike the aliens that the Hills encountered ...
  1. Once you get something inside your head you may not get it out. While my encounter with the aliens was not too bad compared to other well known documented alien abduction cases such as Betty and Barney Hill or Travis Walton or the Alagash Incident, it did frighten me nonetheless. I just couldn't believe I was there. I touched the wall of the craft and felt a lot of heat but the inside of the craft was cold. I have training in martial arts and guerrilla warfare since the age of 14, but nothing could help me that night, except for prayer. I am now 31 years old.

  2. ... the gray aliens seen [sic] to be the more malevolent beings then the full size reptile-like aliens that Betty and Barney Hill spoke to.

  3. ... the aliens I saw were not like one ones Betty and Barney Hill told about in their story. Those aliens were said to have spoken using their mouths.

Four Points to Note

  1. Recently, we added a simple blog so that you know the latest changes. To get the updates automatically, CLICK HERE to subscribe to our RSS (you will get a new window or 'tab'). Thanks and cheers!
  2. Please do not assume or conclude that, just because I present many views (in the form of textual notes and video clips) on this website, it means that I am in agreement with or that I believe in the views offered-proferred ... That would be displaying such a parochial and provincial attitude, towards this website and towards me as well!

    As an ex-military officer, I assure you that I am in the habit of reading, viewing and digesting lots of stuff that I don't necessarily believe in ... We call all the stuff we read, view and digest, 'military intelligence' ... The same applies with 'business intelligence' in the business world, of course.

    Our aim, as usual, is to find out what others (including our friends, enemies, competitors, suppliers, strategic partners, business partners, etc.) believe in ... In order to do that effectively, we have to 'get out of the way', so to speak ... we have to remove our humongous ego! ... else we will never ever really have gotten started in our journey of exploration and discovery of the Mysteries of the World .

  3. Here is a sentiment that I am wholeheartedly in agreement with ...
    As I sit down to redo this book for an American audience, what rises before me is last night's dream: I'm in a broad and beautiful land among many trees. It's night. I look up at a huge old tree that's dark against the starry sky in its detail of twig and branch. There is room enough here for all of us, I realize, here in this big, intricately textured park. But I see that some want to cut down the trees and level it out, so huge throngs of people can gather to gaze up at the sun's glare. I watch dark twigs fingering the remote, untouchable stars. A voice speaks: "Don't turn this into a Copernican Garden."

    Waking up, I remember that I went to sleep wondering how to put this book together. And I take "Copernican Garden" to mean a parking lot vista where masses gather to honor the bright sun of traditional science with its old rules as the center of the universe.

    So I will not cut down the trees and level this book out. It is between you and me [or you and I], a conversation as we stroll along in a moonlit fractal garden past webby connections of thought that merge to patterned insight. Here hidden delights nestle in scaling patterns of self-similar but never quite repeating beauty. Here the tree of life hold stars in its branches. No matter how huge, this garden stays human-sized because we have a place in it, you and I. No need to cut down the connective forest and level things out for that bright Sol [sun] of left-brain logic whose daytime dazzle — so close and glaring — can blind us to the myriad constellations beyond.

    [...]

       — Katya Walter, Tao of Chaos
            Sub-title: Merging East and West
            (1994, 1996)

  4. Here is an observation (adapted) made in the Acknowledgement page of a book ...
    It takes many minds to produce a book [including an e-book, of course]. Although most authors [especially of non-fiction books and articles] would prefer not to admit this fact, fundamentally they are merely 'synthesisers' of accumulated knowledge.

    The process of synthesising may unveil a new reality map, or paradigm, which, in due course, will be used by future pioneers to unveil further paradigms.

    This principle was summed up by Sir Isaac Newton when he remarked: "If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants".

    [...]

            (2005)

As stated in our Mysteries Blog , the 'Mysteries of the World' Website does NOT aim to sensationalize any particular 'Mystery', although we will examine and explore all possible viewpoints pertaining to each 'Mystery' — including the fringe AND the mainstream.

We will, of course, come to a conclusion (eventually!) about each 'Mystery' ... even if that conclusion may eventually turn out to be 'as yet unresolved' or 'unexplained to our satisfaction'.
