January/February, 2008, "What the aliens said..."

©2008 by Craig R. Lang, MS CHt

In early January, I presented a talk at the Minnesota Theosophical Society, in which I discussed the powerful effects of close encounters on the experiencer. In the second half of the talk, I looked at the overall effects of contact in a more global sense. What might be the alien agenda? Do we see any suggestions of this in the UFO/CE4 phenomenon? During the talk, one person asked me a question that repeatedly arises. Where do I get my material? While I think that I have a pretty good answer to this question, it got me to thinking once again – just exactly what IS the nature and source of our research material?

I heard this question posed most effectively from an internationally noted UFO researcher, following publication of my article on The Indigo Hypothesis in the MUFON UFO Journal, a few years ago. He called me long distance from Australia and grilled me on whether I had a background in genetics, access to genetic testing facilities, etc. In the end, he verbally concluded that my information was based merely upon what the aliens told abductees. He then hung up the phone before I could respond. My caller’s conclusion was not correct. However, it brings up the question of how information available to abduction researchers is derived.

The core of abduction research is primarily based upon accounts related under hypnosis. Thus, we all understand that hypnotic regression has to be conducted very cleanly - in (as much as possible) a non-leading way. While it can provide a window into the experiencer's subconscious, and thus into their memories, it also allows for metaphorical and creative material, in addition to biographical recall. Often, it is not easy to tell the difference between such material and thus, it is necessary to treat any information derived with discernment.

Often during regressions, we hear information about the "alien agenda," either from something the aliens have said, or from observations by the experiencers themselves. When we do, it is important to understand the circumstances surrounding it. How was the information obtained? What is the context of the information? Does such information square with other things we have heard? All of these questions need to be considered before any degree of truth value can be assigned to what we have learned.

As an example, during a regression, one experiencer described being aboard a large UFO, where he was taken to an amphitheatre-style room. There he was ushered to a seat and shown a "movie" of the future of Earth. It showed apocalyptic catastrophe, in which California was submerged into the ocean, and the entire southwestern USA was in severe drought conditions. As he relived this UFO experience, at one point he exclaimed, "Oh, I get it, it's an education ship." Apocalypse scenarios, such as the one presented to this experiencer, are common. They nearly all have the theme of soon-to-come disasters. They frequently make distinct predictions about near-future events. However such scenarios are seldom consistent with each other. And in nearly every case, events fail to occur as predicted. Thus, in my view, we can not take such alien-derived scenarios literally. Yet the experiencer’s observation that the purpose of this ship appeared to be to educate (indoctrinate?) experiencers seems to be extremely valid.

Another example of unreliable alien-derived information is the alien response to the frequently asked question, "where are they from?" Nearly always, they reply with nonsense, platitudes, or blatant falsehoods. I hear experiencers tell me of responses such as The Pleiades, Andromeda, Mars, and numerous other astronomical locations – or simply, "you wouldn't understand..." Again, the responses are seldom, if ever, consistent, and are sometimes illogical (the best I've heard is a response described in one of Budd Hopkins' cases in which the alien leader said they were from "a small galaxy near Neptune").

As seen above, alien-derived information seems largely useless if we consider only its literal content. Yet we can learn a lot from the context in which alien information is given - and this, I think, is where its value lies. Why did the aliens say what they did? Who or what was present when it was given? How was it imparted – in writing, verbally, telepathically, etc.? Was it in the context of an abduction, a contact, a channeling? In short, we can learn a lot from what the aliens say, even if its truth value is zero.

We can draw the best conclusions about the encounter process from the experiencer's observations, themselves - and thus, in this way we may be able to get a more reliable picture of the alien agenda. Abductees often describe a consistent sequence of events, a consistent set of surroundings, and consistent interactions between themselves and the aliens. Assuming the hypnotic regression is clean, this information can be quite reliable. It is not derived from the aliens, but from the abductee, and is sometimes obtained in spite of the aliens. Thus, we can treat this with considerably higher truth value.

A third level of information is that from the investigator him/herself. Investigators frequently note patterns, and nearly always make contextual observations when interviewing witnesses. These form the context for the accounts which the witness relates, and afford this information a very high level of reliability.

In UFO research in general, it is necessary to have a powerful discernment filter. We need to be empathetic and accepting of what the experiencer is going through, and seriously consider the information that comes from their interactions with the Visitors. However, acceptance does not mean belief. It is necessary to take all information, including that which is "alien-derived," in context, and when doing so, we can learn a lot. If we can more clearly understand the context of such alien "revelations," it might allow us to more clearly understand what our Visitors are doing, including the meaning of "what the aliens said..."
