Are alien abductions a figment of collective imaginations?

Let’s take a look at this possibility. Each year thousands of new abductions are reported. The reports come from people in all walks of life, different parts of the country, each giving the exact same details of being abducted and subject to a medical examination. People who don’t know each other and have never read about or investigated alien abduction because it was a foreign strange tabloid type story. It is a fact though, that unrelated people often come up with the similar creative ideas at the same time. Could alien abduction be such an idea?

Flights of fantasy don’t leave physical evidence behind.

The discoveries of alien implants or physical scars produce some of the most convincing evidence that an abduction has taken place. Alien implants have been extracted and examined, most mysteriously disappear. Some are made of materials unknown to man, and have strange markings, while others have been identified as common earthly materials such as tiny glass shards.

The reality of what happens to an abductee is something they are forced to come to grips with overtime. Usually a break through memory, a recurring dream, finding odd healed over scars, nose bleeds, or ringing in their ears prompt victims to investigate the possibility that they have been abducted.

Many abductees do not want their story told.  Why would they tell the world something that would label them as odd, strange or crazy? They know that’s how they will be perceived. What they once believe was a flight of fantasy created by the delusional, has now become their reality. Abductees are often shocked, frightened, angry, and driven to find out more about what happened to them and why. They are not looking for fame of recognition—just answers.

Alien abductions continue to be reported. For some it is a reality, while others believe it is a loss of mental control, a psychotic event, or some type of sleep disorder. For the abductees it is their new reality.

Hard evidence like implants and scars are still under investigation so we are left with abductees’ testimonials.  Where do you stand on alien abduction? Do you side with the abductees or the skeptics? I would love to hear your opinion.

The belief in the existence of UFOs and alien beings was considered irrational a few short years ago, but is now an accepted possibility by a large majority. Sightings are frequently reported by far more witnesses then ever before. The addition of cell phone photos and video allows far more sightings to be captured as evidence.

The United States first became aware of alien abductions with the Betty and Barney Hill case reported in 1961. Since then, millions of reported abductions have taken place throughout the world. Many of the abductees are professional businesspersons, students, doctors, lawyers, authors, and even police officers – people not prone to fantasy. The popular TV series the X-Files explored a possible conspiracy theory of government involvement with aliens. This theory is echoed by several alien abduction reporting sights.

Astronauts, sworn to silence in the past, have revealed their secrets in recent years: Major Gordon Cooper, Donald Slayton, Major Robert White, Joseph A. Walker, Commander Eugene Cernan, Ed White, James McDivitt, James Lovell, Frank Borman, Neil Armstrong & Edwin Aldrin, Scott Carpenter, and the list is growing.

Maurice Chatelain, a former chief of NASA Communications Systems, revealed in 1979 that during a lunar exploration, Armstrong reported seeing two UFOs on the rim of a crater.

United States presidents have also witnessed UFOs. President Ronald Reagan, then governor of California, instructed his pilot to follow a UFO for several minutes until it ultimately shot into space over Bakersfield CA. President Jimmy Carter as part of his campaign trail message claimed he would make all documents on UFOs public. Why? Because in his own words, “I don’t laugh at people any more when they say they’ve seen UFOs. I’ve seen one myself.”

Former USSR Leader Mikhail Gorbachev stated, “The phenomenon of UFOs does exist, and it must be treated seriously.”

In 2008 a Vatican spokesperson, Rev. Jose Gabriel Funes, the Jesuit director of the Vatican Observatory stated in an interview by the Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano, “How can we rule out that life may have developed elsewhere? Just as we consider earthly creatures as ‘brothers’ and ‘sisters,’ why should we not talk about an ‘extraterrestrial brother’? It would still be part of creation.” He also stated that believing aliens exist “doesn’t contradict our faith.”

Also Monsignor Corrado Balducci, a Vatican theologian, revealed, “Extraterrestrial contact is a real phenomenon. The Vatican is receiving much information about extraterrestrials and their contact with humans from its embassies in various countries, such as Mexico, Chile, and Venezuela.”

With such growing acceptance and proof, why is our government so secretive regarding their existence? While our Government would have us ignore the possibility, we have a history of proof that aliens exist, some say to ‘prevent panic’, they openly exploit and hype global warming, weather changes, and possible global pandemics, instilling fear for political purposes.

As a true believer in aliens, in the Gray Guardians series I explore whether UFOs transport benevolent or deceitful aliens who are bent on destruction of the human race or offer a possible future for our Earth.

Earth itself is a wondrous planet, which from space is a brilliant blue gem within our solar system and is nothing short of a cosmic magnet to alien entities. Humans, and all their faults have crafted glorious creations and are advancing into space, which would surely draw close scrutiny from advanced space travelers.

We may never know why extraterrestrials have observed us throughout our history. Earth’s Ultimate Conflict offers an explanation and chance to wonder whether we can heed the warning or succumb to our fate–you decide.
