Are Alien Abductions Real Occurrences or Extremely Clever Hoaxes?
What are your thoughts on alien abduction? By nature people love to be afraid. Think about haunted houses, an interest in all things macabre, and horror movies. The more frightening it is the more popular. That leads us to the question at hand – are alien abductions real or are they simply a work of our own overactive imaginations at work? Let’s look at some of the things that point the answer to yes, alien abductions do happen, and often.
Close Encounters of the Third Kind
There is a book entitled “The Evidence For Alien Abductions” that was published in 1984 and written by John Rimmer. It gives details about an experiment involving alien abduction performed by Alvin Lawson and William McCall. The two men used hypnosis to try and distinguish real alien abductions from hoaxes. What they found in their studies were that between the two groups of people there was little difference between the stories, even down to the tiniest detail. It is very unclear how they determined the ‘real’ cases from the hoaxes beforehand, so this should be taken with a grain of salt. Assuming the test was performed perfectly the conclusion could be one of two things: either everyone is making up alien abductions with their extremely active imaginations in sync or there are more people that have been abducted than know about it.
There have been numerous people have been polygraphed to determine if they were lying about their abduction stories. The shocking conclusion is that the majority of these people’s polygraph results come back as not deceptive. The findings of several tests over 25 years of the accuracy of polygraph test concludes that they are almost 100% accurate every time. So how could so many people lie and pass an almost 100% accurate lie detector test? Did they all get together beforehand and make themselves believe it to be true? That is not plausible in the least.
You will find a virtual plethora of videos online that claim to prove the existence of alien life. You can’t trust any of these. Almost every single video has been cleverly photoshopped or edited to make it seem real. There are videos online that can make the hair on the back of your neck stand on end, but they are not real. They are simply great works by great artists.
It could be argued that we are under constant scrutiny from higher lifeforms, watching us as we watch ants in an ant-farm. Why is that not possible? It’s completely possible because there isn’t a single person in the world right now that has an overall picture of what life is all about. We have ideas and beliefs. No solid proof at all can be found of what our existence means. We could be the pets of something much smarter and far more advanced than we will ever be. It may not be abduction so much as science experiments on pets. Who are we to say that it isn’t real when millions and millions of people report alien abduction each and every year. There could even be more unreported cases because the subject is so taboo. Perhaps one day we will have a solid answer to the question at hand.
