Ipropose:that the UFO we see is, among other things, a device which

creates a distortion of the witness's reality; that it does sofor a purpose,

which is to project images or fabricated scenesdesigned to change our

belie/systems; and that the technology we observe is only the incidental

support for a worldwide en terprise of sublim inal seduction!

&a'e "e allo"ed o!r need for rationalism to become so m!ch

The Case Against the Spacecraft 29

Now, this last figure does not begin to approximate the actualnumber ofevents,because weknow from many independent studies

Ihat only one case in ten ever gets reported. Then we should have

uor 3,, but 3, cases in our files!"ut this still isn#t the

whole story$ most landings occur in unpopulated areas, away from

dwellings.# %fthe &arth#s population were distributed evenly instead

of being concentrated in city areas, how many reports would we

have' Again, taking a conservative multiplying factor of ten leadsus tothe staggering conclusion that the ()*s, if they are spacecraft

engaged in ageneral survey of our planet, must have landed here no

f+.#werthan three million times in two decades!

This is one of the littlerecogni-ed facts of the ()* problem

Ihat any theory has yet to explain. The theory ofrandom visitation

does not explain it. &ither the ()*s select their witnesses, or they

are something entirely different from space vehicles. %n either case,t hei r appearances are staged!

TheStrange hysics of the ()*s

#%he following unexplained sightings have been extracted from

do-ens ofsimilar cases in my files.March /012,Santa Maria,Brazil. Aman observed twooccupants

of a footballshaped craft who spoke in a strange language. The

craft vanished silently and instantly.

June /04, Verona, Italy. )ollowing a ()* observation, a

woman was awakened by a feeling of intense cold and saw a being

with abald head near the house. She called other witnesses, and all

saw the apparition shrink and vanish on the spot 5like aT6 image

when the set is turned off.5

October /03, Whidbey Island, Washington State. A middle7

aged woman saw a strange craft with three figures inside. %t

tilted. partially sank into the ground, grew in si-e, and departed

with a flash.

Itook pictures with and without the crystal at several

places that resembled the description of the "node" given in the

r 1'0 1nscript. Igot only pictures of the blurred landscape with its

rwisred bushes and rock piles but ! came close to eperiencing

the feeling of anticipation and ecitement that gets hundreds

uf people to drive out into the hills and the desert in search of.##ientruths.

$ur epedition was not without its minor mystery. %riving

higher into the hills overlooking &arlock we found a mine

entrance sheltered from the great desert wind. There wediscussed

thepossible meaning of all this and the remote chance that the

!nessagemight come from some real alien source. The most likely

eplanation of course was that it simply came from our guide's1Inconscious( most automatic writing can be shown to have a

purely psychological eplanation. At that moment there was the

sharp sound of a minor eplosion behind me like the popping

ofa flash bulb being crushed. There were only two of us in the

entrance to the mine at that moment and nothing was found

that could eplain the noise As a mystery it did represent )uite

an anticlima after hours of climbing and driving and pickingup rocks and scrutini*ing the sky and the barren hillsides.

smallest incident into asign leading toother signsand feeding the

imagination until it constructed vastspace,operas.

The Case Agai n st the Spacecraft 47

safelyto the normal world, and thought about the wayin which the

sighting had affected them.

The results of the experiments were shattering. Not only did

these "imaginary abductees" provide what Dr. awson calls "a

coherent, intriguing !# abduction narrative," but their stories

weresurprisingly similar to the most classic !# abduction cases,

li$e those o f %etty &ill or Charlie &ic$son. 'hen the hypnosis

transcripts were closely compared with those from "real" !#cases, the parallels became even more stri$ing(

Allof the imaginary sub)ects described many details which

are identical to ones found in the literature. These patterns

range from the obvious *"saucer+shaped" to rare and even

obscure though well+established details of high strangeness.-

The study does not demonstrate that !# abductions are

imaginary, or that hypnotic regression of witnesses is always

worthless. %ut it does show that many aspects of the experience

may originate in the witness-s mind.

These remar$able experiments cast serious doubt on the

validity ofthe hypnotic regression to which many over+enthusiastic

investigators have sub)ected !# witnesses."%ut the lie+detector tests tell the whole story," answer the

spacecraft believers. After all, what could be more scientific and

reliable than a "psychological stress evaluator" #f a polygraph

operated by trained personnel, certified by an accredited

professional organiation/

%efore accepting such statements as "evidence," ufologists

should get better information on the reliability of lie detectors, forexample, by reading the report by the Committee on 0overnment

#perations entitled "The !se of 1olygraphs and Similar Devices

by ederal Agencies." Testifying before Congress, experts from the

Department of2 usticeexplained why !.S. attorneys were instructed

"not to see$ the admission in evidence ofpolygraphic examinations
