Ok, so what is with all of these people claiming to have been abducted
by a UFO? Are they for real? Do they need serious psycological
help? Are they lying for attention? Maybe they really did visit
a UFO!
While I know that there are lots of people who make up or fantasize about
being abducted, there are enough people who genuinely believe that they
are abductees to make this worth a closer look. Often, these people
are respected in their community and have no history of mental illness.
They are not known to be liars or stretchers of the truth. In fact,
a lot of them seem as confused as the rest of us, and they seem to be almost
embarassed by their experience.
It is these people, and not the weirdos, who I want to look at and theorize
about. Actually, it's not my theory. It's one that I saw on
TV, but unfortunately, I don't remember the show. (If anyone knows,
please e-mail me!)
But anyways, the theory is that shifting plates in the earth spark off
electromagnetic energy which induces a trancelike state, complete with
halucinations, and this is the source of the "abduction." This theory
notes that the largest numbers of abductee stories occur where there is
also a high amount of tetonic plate movement. In fact, they even
showed a laboratory experiment in which the subject's brain was stimulated
with electrical shocks designed to simulate those associated with plate
movement. He ended up going through a typical abduction scenario,
even though he never left the laboratory! It may all sound a little
odd, but it makes a heck of a lot more sense than being taken aboard a
flying saucer!
Of course, there's always my "secret government experiment" theory.
Perhaps the government captures people, performs unspeakable experiments
on them, then through drugs and hypnosis convinces them that they were
abducted by aliens. Yeah, I'll stick with the EM theory, too.
If anyone has any more
information about this theory, or knows of any resources about it, please
e-mail me. Thanks!
