ANALYSING THE ALIEN ABDUCTIONSCENARIO .

By

David Calvert.

Typical or Atypical?A typical account of alien abduction sometimes begins with the abductees

experiencing restlessness, anxiety, and a premonition that something strange is about tohappen. In vehicular abduction cases, the individual/s may also experience a subtle urgeor prompting to be at a certain location at a certain time.

The first indication of an imminent abduction often comes with their sighting of aUFO. In British cases it is commonly the black triangular or traditional silver reflectiveflying saucer type.

Through the use of various transportation techniques they are then removed fromtheir terrestrial environment on to the waiting UFO by non-human entities. At this

juncture subjects may experience a loss of memory. Once aboard they are invariablysubjected to various physical tests and procedures, the main thrust of which is in thegenetic experimentation area. The extraction of sperm and ovum are commonly reported,(although over the last few years there has been a noticeable decrease in these

procedures), as are the removal or insertion of implants. Throughout the entire procedurethe abductee/s experience a paralysis, assumed by many to be induced for the benefit of

both parties. One of the beings - commonly reported as appearing taller and more caringthan the others -is often referred to as a leader or liaison.

When the examination is completed they may be given a tour of the ship or attenda conference, in which they are shown cataclysmic images of the Earths destruction anda warning against certain human activities. Others experience being taken on anotherworldly journey and are shown a barren, devastated landscape or view a bright, lushlandscape that seems enclosed or underground.

The departure for many is sudden, again involving a momentary lapse of memoryfor some. Some experience immediate or short-term symptoms in the aftermath of their encounters. These range from irritation of the eyes, to puncture wounds, dehydration and

headaches, whilst others suffer intermediate and long-term after effects involving vagueanxieties, sleep disturbances and, more frighteningly, additional abductions. Only a smallminority of abductees see their encounters as being spiritual.

From the above scenario it becomes abundantly clear that while some cases sharecertain commonalities, all do not. In this sense they are atypical. A closer inspection of

several abduction cases will serve to identify some of these commonalities anddifferences.

CASE HISTORIES

[1940s - 1990s]

Case 1: Antonio Villas Boas

One of the earliest abduction cases reported was that of 23-year-old Brazilian

rancher, Antonio Villas Boas. On October 14, 1957, both he and his brother witnessed astrange light that seemed to follow them around as they ploughed a field late thatevening. Unsettled by the strange light, they gave up their work and went home. Thefollowing night the light returned. This time, Antonio was alone. The light drew closer tohim and hovered. He uncoupled the tractors ploughing gear to head for home but foundthe tractor would not start. Without warning the light swooped to the ground a few yardsfrom him and two small entities, wearing helmeted space suits and breathing apparatus,emerged. They seized him and frog marched him into the UFO.

Once aboard, they stripped him and smeared his body with a clear, odourlessliquid. They then took blood samples from his chin. A quite remarkable event then took

place. A naked female entity entered the room. She was approximately 4 ft. 6 inches tall,had thin blonde hair, slanted eyes, high cheekbones and thin lips. Her seduction of VillasBoas resulted in their having sexual intercourse twice, before a robotic alien intervened.When she was called away, she pointed to her stomach and then the sky. Although heenjoyed the experience, he was somewhat repelled by the guttural barking sounds shemade during the coupling. When his clothes were returned, he dressed and was takenaround the ship and allowed to see what appeared to be a control room. He was later returned back to the farm.

Case 2: Herbert Schirmer.

In the early hours of December 3, 1967, at the junction of Highway 3 and 63 near Ashland, Nebraska, USA, patrolman Herbert Schirmer saw a football-shaped UFO on theground. It was displaying red lights and was supported on tripod landing gear. Followingthe sighting his log showed 20 minutes of missing time he could not account for.

At home a red weal appeared on his neck and he suffered from a headache and a buzzing sound in his ears that kept him awake.

According to his testimony under hypnosis, he described encountering 4 ft tallentities that emerged from the UFO and surrounded his patrol car. He tried to pull out hisrevolver, but was prevented from doing so by telepathically conveyed command. One of


3/10

the aliens held a device that covered the car with a green light or gas. Another entitytouched his neck, causing him pain. After being questioned by them he was taken aboardthe UFO, which he was told worked by reversible electromagnetism. When he asked hiscaptors if they were responsible for kidnapping people he was told that they had a

programme known as breeding analysis and that some humans were used in these

experiments. This is probably the first overt reference in an abduction case to an aliengenetic programme.According to his testimony the aliens wore close-fitting, hooded, silver-grey

uniforms with boots and gloves. The visible portions of their facial skin was grey-white,the nose flat, and the mouth a mere slit. They had slanted eyes with strange pupils thatopened and closed like a camera lens.

Case 3: Linda Cortile.

At the age of 41, Italian-American, Linda Cortile, a New York housewife, claimedthat at 3am on November 30, 1989, she was approached by a small grey-skinned alien

while she lay in bed. She recalled her body becoming paralysed in the creatures presence, although her recollection of what happened next was vague. She alsoremembered lying on a table having her back examined.

Under hypnosis, she recalled five entities taking her from her bed, describingthem as being short, white and dark, with very intense black eyes that shone. She claimedthey lifted her up and carried her to the living room window, where there was a very

bright blue-white light outside. The creatures then floated her through the locked twelfth-floor window and levitated her into the belly of a waiting UFO, where there began theexamination of her back, and right nostril. Before leaving the examining table she wasquestioned about her family. What makes this abduction experience so different fromothers is the fact that an international diplomat allegedly witnessed it and two USgovernment agents, who saw both her and her abductors float from the twelfth-floor apartment in a foetal position, bathed in a blue light. They then opened into a standing

position, before disappearing into the UFO.A greater revelation was yet to follow when in 1991 the two agents suddenly

recalled being on a beach with Cortile, seconds after she was abducted.In subsequent hypnotic regressions Cortile revealed that the aliens were using her

to explain to the leading politician that humanity was damaging the environment and thatthey were also collecting sand samples for analysis.

Bud Hopkins, the case investigator, received a call from Cortile who claimed thataround October 20, 1991, she awoke to find her face, bedclothes and pillow covered in

blood. Fortunately, one week earlier an X-ray was taken of Cortiles head that revealed atiny, cylindrical, radiopaque object lodged up her nose. A second X-ray was takensometime after her nosebleed and revealed nothing untoward. This led Hopkins tosurmise that the aliens had removed it - hence the bloodstains on her bed.

Case 4: Betty Andreasson Luca.

This case is possibly one of the most important in the annals of the abduction phenomenon, because her experience began in 1944, when she was seven, and have


4/10

continued ever since. Some of the abductions took place while she was alone, othersincluded members of her family, including her husband and daughter. It is also interestingto note that Betty and Bob Lucas abduction experiences have taken place in twodifferent states of being. The first is a normal straightforward abduction. The second in analtered state i.e. Out of Body.

On around 7 p.m., on the night of January 25, 1967, Bettys family home inAshburnham, Massachusetts, was plunged into darkness and a diffuse pink light shone infrom the kitchen window. Betty was already in a state of some anxiety, because her husband was seriously ill in hospital following a car accident. When her father lookedoutside he saw small creatures that looked like Halloween freaks. When one of themturned to look at him, he felt kind of queer and blacked out.

When the lights came back on Betty saw her seven children and parents weremotionless, as if in a trance. She watched, rooted in terror, as four entities, wreathed in ahaze, entered through the locked back door. They were approximately 1.3 metres tall,were all dressed in skin-tight blue uniforms and had bulbous heads with almond-shapedeyes. Around 3 hours and forty minutes later, when the family finally awoke from their

torpor, only Betty and her father had the dimmest recollection of what had happened. Atthe age of forty - some ten years later - she underwent a session of hypnotic regressionand the full story of her encounter and, it emerged, her abduction was revealed.

An astonishing story began to unfold in 1977 when Betty underwent her 14sessions of hypnotic regression with Henry J. Edelson, and expert in the field. Accordingto her account, and whilst her family were in a trance-like state, the tallest alien askedBetty to accompany them. She was also told they had come to help the human race,

because they were in danger of destroying themselves. Then she was floated outside,where an odd looking oval craft with a raised central console was waiting. Once aboardthey began their examination of her and noticed that some of her body parts weremissing; an observation she presumed referred to a hysterectomy she had undergone. Acurious machine, like a cross between a camera and an eye, then began to examine her and a needle was inserted into her navel. She became acutely distressed. The tall alienapparently laid his hand upon her forehead and the pain was relieved. A device was thenused to remove a tiny spiked ball from her nostril. It later emerged under hypnosis thatBetty had, in fact, been abducted on several previous occasions and that the object wassome kind of implant.

Following her examination she was removed to a cylindrical room where shewas put into one of eight seats resembling armchairs. Tubes were inserted into her mouthand nostrils and a translucent canopy was lowered over her. A grey liquid then floodedthe capsule and she felt a spoonful of thick, sweet liquid being injected into her mouth,which had a tranquilising effect on her. She then experienced a series of pleasantvibrations and a temporary heaviness, as if the vessel was accelerating.

When she emerged from the capsule a short while later, two hooded humanoidstook control of her and floated her along a black track through a series of dark interconnecting tunnels. They eventually came to a mirrored wall and Betty, thinking theywere about to collide with it, braced herself for the impact. Incredibly, however, there wasno collision. When she opened her eyes she discovered the ambient air was vibratingred, as if she was being bathed in infrared radiation. Her journey took her passed strangelooking buildings, across which clambered thin, ape-like creatures with suckers for


5/10

fingers and two large eyes atop stalks rather than heads.Soon after, she was taken into a place that she described as beautiful and green,

like Earth. In the distance she could see cities with mighty domes. As bizarre as her encounters had thus far been, they were nothing in comparison to what next befell her.Directly ahead a large object came into view, which was silhouetted against a bright light.

As it drew closer she realised it was a 4.5 meter tall statue of an eagle, which suddenly burst into flames. From the ashes arose not a fledgling phoenix but a thick, grey wormthat communicated telepathically with her, saying, You have seen and you have heard.Do you understand? She replied that she could make no sense of it all. Again the voicespoke in her head; I have chosen you I have chosen you to show the world.

Another witness emerged in the early investigative stages of the affair. It wasBettys daughter, Becky, who claimed that when the aliens arrived at their home she had

briefly managed to shake off her trance and had glimpsed the visitors. She described themas being hairless, with pear-shaped heads, almond eyes, orifices rather than external noseand ears, and a slit-like mouth typical of the Grey. Other features however did not fitthis stereotype; the creatures skin was clay-like, not scaly and instead of four long

fingers they had three thick ones that were attached to club-like hands. They differedfrom Greys in other respects too. Bettys physical examination, for example, wasconducted without the disregard for pain, traditionally shown by Greys.

Listed below are just a few examples of the amazing account recalled by Bettyand Bob Luca.

1949: Five years after her first encounter, Betty experiences meeting an alien in somewoods. The ball of light she experience in 1944 were also present in the encounter.

1950: Here she was abducted from a field and taken to an underground area, where her eye was examined and removed. Eleven years later, 1961, she was drawn to some woodswhere she met an alien with a message.

1967: See above detailed account.

1973: During this abduction Betty witnesses alien technology and the birth of a foetus.Four years later an alien warns her of the impending death of two of her sons.

1978: Both Bob and Betty are abducted from their car via an out-of-body experience, inwhich Betty is turned into a being of light and Bob is given information on life and death.

1984 -89: Further out-of-body and physical abductions take place. In the latter state istaken by a UFO to a place described as the crystal forest. From this place she is taken toa huge UFO above the Earth. Aboard this craft she witnesses, among other things, anoperation to replace a Greys eyes. There are also Nordic-type aliens aboard the craft for whom, it is explained, the Greys work.

During a further OBE abduction she sees her daughter aboard the alien craft. Sheis apparently under instruction.

Bob is abducted and is put on a table. A device is fitted to his head and he seessymbols in his mind.

1992: Bob sees an alien Grey in their house.

Case 5: Carlos Manuel Mercado.

In his home in Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico, Carlos Manuel Mercado claimed to have been visited by three aliens he described as being like the traditional Greys, except theyhad bumps on their facial skin. They wore one piece, tightly fitting, sandy colouredfitting suits and communicated with him via telepathy. The year was 1988.

He was abducted from his home onto a domed, disk-shaped craft in which he sawmore smaller beings and a taller entity, approximately 5 ft. 9 inches tall. This entity wasdressed in a white robe and looked a little more human than the others. After he assuredCarlos that he would come to no harm, the craft took off and headed toward SierraBermeja, a few miles distant. As he watched through the portholes he saw they wereapproaching the El Cayul Mountain. He then saw a brilliant light when something openedup and the craft went inside through a kind of tunnel and into a large cavern that was

brightly lit and appeared to be constructed of aluminium.After disembarking from the UFO, Carlos was told by the tall alien that he wasgoing to show them how advanced they were. He saw a barrack-like structure, hundredsof aliens assembling machines, and many crafts of varying design. As you can see, thetall entity told him, We have a base here for the maintenance of our crafts systems. Wehave been here for a long time and dont intend to leave. Carlos was also told that theymeant no harm to Earth people and that they were not here as conquerors. They merelywanted to reach out to establish a direct relationship that would be beneficial to both

parties. Carlos could not understand why he had been chosen, as he was a simple man,whom no one would believe. The tall alien replied, People will hear you, as well asmany others we are contacting and bringing here to show them the same. When(educated) people hear what simple people - as you call yourself - are saying they willknow that you are telling the truth. He was then returned home.

Author, Timothy Good also relates a story of someone taken to the alien facility.In this instance he was a high-ranking military officer. Interestingly, everything theofficer said corroborated the details given by Mercado.

Common Themes and DifferenceOf Purported ET Abduction.

Alien Types.

In seeking to categorize the phenomenon, Thomas Bullards classification scheme(1995) shows a divergence in the descriptions offered by abductees of their non-humancaptors, who range from short grey (standard) humanoids to apes, robots, Nordic-types,and other assorted oddities. These we find in abundance in the previously cited cases.Some, as in the Luca case, are exotic in the extreme and do not even appear in Bullardsclassification.


7/10

Even the traditional Greys appear to display disparate features. Some are reportedas having intense, black eyes that shine (Cortile). Others posses almond-shaped eyes(Luca), whilst others have slanted eyes with odd pupils that open and close like a cameralens (Schirmer).

Becky Luca, we may recall, also described features that did not fit the Greys

stereotype; their skin texture and the numbers of hand digits being appreciably different.In a later abduction her mother, Betty, also reported seeing Nordic - type aliens.The so-called Greys in the Mercado case were also unusual in that they had

bumps on their facial skin. He also reported seeing a taller entity dressed in a white robe.A Nordic type perhaps?

Antonio Villas Boas was unable to offer a detailed description of his captors, because they wore helmeted space suits with breathing apparatus, suggesting aninability to breathe our atmosphere. Yet, the naked female he encountered wore no such

breathing apparatus. Nor did the Schirmer, Cortile, Luca and Mercado entities, thoughthey did wear similar outfits. Of the five cited cases, only Boas describes a robotic alien.

Abduction Methodology

In 1995, 57% of abduction cases reportedly took place from bedrooms, whereasreports of abductions from vehicles were 26%. Whatever the location, the transferencemethods employed suggest different technological skills and capabilities. In the case of Betty Andreasson Luca, a beam floated her to the waiting craft. This also happened toLinda Cortile who, like Luca, also experienced the nullification of the nuclear repulsiveforces when she was physically passed through a locked window.

Villas Boas was physically manhandled into a UFO and it can be reasonablyassumed - given Schirmers description of an open hatchway - which he too entered in asimilar fashion. The use of such disparate technologies and alternate abductionmethodologies can hardly be described as typical; especially the Out of Body (OOB)abductions experienced by Betty Luca.

Communication and Behavioural Patterns.

Bullards classification table shows telepathy to be the favoured method of communication, showing little deviation over an eight-year period from 1987 - 95. This iscertainly true in the Schirmer, Luca, and Mercado encounters. In the case of Villas Boas,however, who claimed to have had a sexual encounter with an alien female,communication allegedly took place via hand gestures, barks and yelps.

A further distinction is evidenced in the manner abductees are treated by their non-human abductees. Some report them as being warm and considerate, as in theMercado and Luca abductions, whereas Boas - who was frog marched into the craft -experienced a military-like protocol. They were also cold and, as with Linda Cortile,

behaved in a business like way towards him. Schirmer found them to be coercive andcontrolling and believed them to be insincere and uncaring, one of his captors going sofar as to cause physical pain and injury to him.


8/10

A common theme that runs through many abduction cases is that of memory loss.The Luca familys conscious memories of the events were fragmented and made littlesense until they underwent regression hypnosis and began to recall in greater detail their abductions. The same appears to be true of Linda Cortile, Herbert Schirmer and VillasBoas. Had they all been given instructions by their captors to forget?

It is worth noting at this juncture that many ufologists distrust hypnotic regressionas a tool for eliciting memory because of the highly suggestible state the patient is placed in. What may have been a dream or a temporary mental aberration can become a

subjectively real occurrence in the mind of the patient in their altered state. It is of vital importance that the practitioner be fully qualified in this discipline when dealing in casesof supposed abduction so as not to create a false memory.

The Medical Examination.

In 1995 it was reported that 68% of abductees undergo a standard medical

examination which may or may not involve blood being taken; samples of geneticmaterial being removed; a reproductive examination; and the removal or insertion of implants. Given that these procedures do occur, they are by no means a guaranteedfeature as the Boas, Schirmer, and Mercado contactee cases demonstrate, although Boasand Schirmer do seem to have been involved in some kind of breeding and breedinganalysis programmes.

Conversely, Linda Cortile and Betty Luca do undergo medical examinations. InCortiles case her back and right nostril is examined. This was done manually, as reported

by 42% of abductees in 1995. In line with 24% of reported medical examinations done byaliens, Luca is given a reproductive examination and, as with Cortile, a probe is insertedup her nose. Seventeen years previously her eye was also examined and removed. In1987 Bullards classification table reported that 49% of abductees were examined by aneye-like device, a procedure also experienced by Luca. However, it was in 1989 thatBetty witnessed the most unusual medical procedure. It was performed not on herself buton a Grey, who had its eye replaced.

We can only speculate as to why diverse and intrusive medical procedures are being performed. However, it is worth noting that reproductive function and developmentis of particular interest to these creatures. Why else would they extract sperm and ova or retrieve developing foetal material?

The Tour.

According to Joe Nyman this is the most variable of all abduction stages.Of the above-cited cases only one, Cortile, isnt given a tour. Boas and Schirmer

tour their captors ships and witness various technological devices. Similar events werelikewise reported by 28% of abductees in 1995. Carlos Manuel Mercado visits anunderground alien facility where he sees hundreds of aliens maintaining crafts of variousdesign.

The Betty Andreasson Luca case is, however, the most intriguing of all. Over several alleged abductions she has witnessed alien technology and the birth of a foetus,


9/10

claims to have gone on two otherworldly journeys in 1967 and 1989; and even allegesabduction in an Out-of-Body state.

The latter notwithstanding, the tours in themselves are a relatively commontheme. But it is in their content and the messages they purportedly convey thatdisquieting differentiations are to be found. These might or might not be the result of

wholly separate extraterrestrial agendas.

After-effects.

In 1987, 71% of abductees reported experiencing after-effects on a short-term,intermediate-term, and long-term basis. Interestingly, Mercado and Boas did not.Although a medical examination of the latter did show that he had been exposed toradiation, he merely told his story and retreated to his daily life.

Herbert Schirmer showed both short and long-term after-effects, the latter takingthe form of severe headaches.

Linda Cortile was suspected as having undergone a further abduction to removean implant when she awoke one morning to discover dry blood on her face and

bedclothes.Betty Andreasson Luca is experiencing on-going abductions and has developed

physical scars, thought by some to be due to cell sampling carried out by her abductors.She continues to regard the abductions as spiritual experiences.

Whether such abductions are real, imagined or are the product of mentalaberrations, it is still hotly contested in ufological circles and will continue to be so in theforeseeable future. One thing they are certainly not is typical.
