Alien Abductee Speaks Out
When the tractor beam rudely snatched me from a pleasant slumber, it only took me a startling second to realize what was happening. At that point, the thought that kept reverberating through my brain was, "If they try any of that anal probe nonsense, I'll freaking kill them." Ha. Thinking back, I can't help but chuckle at the ignorance of my presumptions.
For one, did I actually think myself capable of harming the creatures in possession of technology which was presently lifting me out of my bed and into their spacecraft without so much as a whisper, let alone a broken window? And as Creblon remarked when I told him/her of my initial fears, "Why the hell would we even want to do that? I mean think about it. God, you male humans and your homoerotic paranoias."So with misunderstandings clarified, we had a good laugh, drank a couple of their local microbrews and ended the trip back at the time it began so I could still catch some sleep before the morning. Nice guys, those aliens. Lightweights, but nice guys nonetheless.
The only problem was telling people about my experience afterwards. Creblon was right, if it wasn't outright pity for my delusions, it was an endless succession of mostly unfunny anal probe jokes. Thankfully though, a recent string of alien related news has given me reason to hope for a more mature public understanding of my interstellar drinking buddies.
First, there's Edgar Mitchell, the sixth man on the moon, telling media outlets left and right that the Roswell incident was real, aliens come here all the time, and several government officials in the know let him in on it, on account of him going to the moon and whatnot. This guy is the man.
Then there was Nick Pope's New York Times op-ed piece on July 29th urging the U.S. government and aviation officials to take UFO sightings more seriously, if not out of sheer curiosity then at least for the sake of national security. Because what if those things aren't alien spacecraft but actually secret new Chinese/Russian/Iranian flying discs capable of breaching U.S. airspace at whim and delivering a devastating payload of General Tsao's chicken/ Stolichnaya/ kebabs in the heartland of America? Obviously we'd be screwed.And finally, NASA officials announced last week, that yes, by Jove, there is water on Mars, making the notion of life on the planet, past or present, much more feasible. The movie Mars Attacks remains no less absurd, however.

Yes they are absolutely real! When I was a child, a neighbor man and I witnessed one hovering above us in the early evening. We looked up and then just went back to our conversation as if it were the most natural thing in the world. When I looked up again, it was gone. It made a whirring sound and had panel lights on the bottom; and yes, it was an upside down looking saucer! I was about 9 years old. This would have been in the mid-sixties.
I don't believe that God created only one planet in the universe with life; how ridiculous of us to think so. I do believe that some even live here and others routinely visit.
The sad part is that our government is not open or accountable to it's citizens. People are more receptive than our government would like to believe. I, for one, am ready, willing and able to accept an encounter with alien life. We are being deprived of a beautiful and educational learning experience.

I believe I am an abductee. I have vivid memories of hiding from a light trying to find me. I remember hiding in my grandmother's bathroom and stuffing towels in the cracks then hiding behind the shower curtian. I was terrified that if the light found me, THEY would get me.
Now I am 42 years old. I rarely have this nightmare anymor but now I have other experiences like sleep phobia. I am also very psychic. Recently I learned that blood types may have an explaination.
My blood type is O Negative. That mean that I lack the Rhesus factor. hat means that there is NO Genetic Link between me and a rhesus monkey. ( I believe in evolution). Between 3 and 11% of the world population lacks this factor (depending n which report you read). The majority of people have a positive blood type that links them to the monkey.
This "spontanious genetic mutation" accoured about 340,000 years ago and can be traced to Franceand Northern Spain, the Basque people. Their language has no connection to local languages in its history and developement. They also have the highest concentration of Neg blood types (about 45%). The DNA spread through europe and around the world.
Genetic mutations that happen and succeed do so because of the mutation making the species stronger, there is no reason forthis trait to have survived unless it was INTRODUCED DNA.
Now, recent studies have shown that the majority of people who have UFO an abduction experience also happen to have RH neg blood.
How many of you here who have such experiences have neg blood types?

I do believe there is life somewhere out there. At one time, I believed those life forms were visiting Earth. I'm not so sure now. With everyone and their mother having camera phones that not only take pictures but shoot video as well, it looks to me like there would be more pictures of these UFOs in our skies.
I've never witnessed a UFO but I would like to. What I did witness was "Brown Mountain Lights", for those who don't know what this is, look it up, it is pretty freaky.
