[NOTE: I don't believe #2 below, I believe most people who believe they've been abducted are no more or less emotionally stable as society at large; there DOES seem to be a focus on sexuality, and an interest in homosexuality in some abductees. But I object to the grouping of homosexuality with 'other serious problems causing emotional instability'...] ----- Original Message ----- http://www.martiansgohome.com/smear/v47/ss000315.htm Amazingly, CSICOP reviewed "The Abduction Enigma" favorably, and was so taken by the anti-abduction theme that they were apparently willing to overlook the fact that these guys are Believers! Enigma" makes so many important points that we can only summarize a few of them here: 1. About half of all abduction experiences are merely sleep paralysis. (Your editor had a mild experience with this as a teenager.) 2. A disproportional number of abductees are homosexual, hypersexual, sexually disfunctional, or have other serious problems causing emotional instability. 3. "The abduction phenomenon is an outgrowth of what the researcher expects, rather than what the abductee experienced." (Page 171) Abductees don't lie; they are honestly mistaken, and the researchers often just make their delusions worse. 4. Hypnosis, improperly used, reveals false memories rather than real ones. This has occurred not only in abduction research but more tragically in regard to tales of sexual and Satanic abuse. 5. "It has become painfully clear that sexuality is a major part of abduction." (Page 91) But because of our prudish society, most abduction researchers have deliberately played down the sex angle. However, after reading this book, we realize that the interdimensional adventures of David Huggins are not at all unusual. On Page 97 the authors tell of a female abductee called Leeza who was lying on a metal table surrounded by aliens, one of whom mounted her and was heard to say, "What you need is a good fuck." 6. Chapters are devoted to each of the leading abduction researchers, the worst of whom, in regard to leading his patients and sexual overtones, must be Dr. Richard Boylan. His "hot tub" episode with a female abductee was one of the reasons his license in California was recently revoked. It is not well known that Boylan himself is an abductee and also a former Catholic priest. (No, we won't say anything bad about Budd Hopkins this time - nor will we say anything good.) 7. Scars, implants, and missing fetuses are irrelevant or unproven. Indeed, there is no scientific proof that any abduction has ever taken place. The only exception would be if these events are "4-D" in nature, i.e., extrasensory. We agree. This is an exceptional book. We have actually read (almost) all of it. Whatever your ufological views may be, there is a lot to learn here.
