Types of Abduction Introduction.
The term "abduction" is being used loosely to apply to a variety of distinctly different phenomona. None of the incidents are "abductions" in conventional terms and this misleading term will not be used.
There seems to be an hereditary tendency for it to occur but physical location is a major factor. It is worth noting that "being away", stigmata, visitations by "gods" or "demons" and visions while in a trance state have occurred for centuries, probably millennia.
There is reason to suspect that the efforts to depict "aliens" as cruel and evil may represent an initiative by some government agency to mitigate anticipated public anger as evidence accumulates that persons at the very highest levels ordered that UFO's be attacked and that any captured entities be tortured for information and subjected to experimentation to the point of death. The most likely candidates for involvement in the dissemination of the propoganda are fundamentalist christians who have been actively equating aliens with "demons". If there are Type 2 or Type 3 incidents which involve coercion, fear, pain and needles they may represent real experiences being suffered
elsewhere by entities held captive by humans. If so, they will not cease and may worsen until these beings are safely released. This is only a highly speculative suggestion.
With each "Type" optional explanations for the observations are offered. This material is offered in this form entirely as a basis for debate and makes no claim to being exhaustive or authoritative.
TYPE I Phsyical Encounter. Disc-shaped UFO's may be sighted before or after the encounter by the "percipient" and by others. Sometimes the encounter takes the form of a meeting with a smaller object with lights in an isolated situation. The abductee may be absent for a short period of time - several minutes to two hours. There may be a small wound. It is more likely to happen initially to small children. A strong conditioned response to some attractive stimulus may be later discovered. It can recur, but not often. Type 2 and/or Type 3 encounter experiences may occur and recur after and possibly before the initial Type 1 encounter.
Explanations:
1) no encounter has taken place and the account is based on poor interpretation of circumstantial evidence.
2) the person involved has been attracted, immobilized and perhaps implanted with some device or material.
TYPE 2 Waking Association with Entitites This may be voluntary or involuntary. The entity or entities are usually seen only by the percipient, if at all. They may take many forms. The percipient may happily perform tasks for these entities, such as the sharing of information or the performance of procedures with material objects. The percipient may be chased by entities on repeat occasions. Some such incidents may last only several seconds and be recalled only
as a momentary blackout followed by the strong sensation that complex events over a long period of time have taken place. There is evidence that telepathic communication is involved. Relocation may terminate the experiences.
Explanations:
1) Due to suggestibility or some functional disorder, illusions or hallucinations or ordinary events are misinterpreted.
2) The percipient is interacting with coherent information from an *internal* source and this is perceived as an encounter.
3) The percipient is interacting with coherent information from an *external* source and this is perceived as an encounter.
4) The percipient is interacting with an actual entity who's presence and actions impinge little or not at all on the perception of others.
TYPE 3 Lucent Dreams These may be voluntary or involuntary. The sleeping percipient may interact with the same entities. The "world" in which this occurs is experienced by the percipient as a consistent multisensory series of events which are as detailed and vivid as being awake, if not more so. These "worlds" are internally consistent for each percipient but they may include common cultural elements. Relocation can terminate the
experience or it may profoundly change its nature.
Explanations:
1) The percipient is experiencing vivid dreams perhaps triggered by toxins that result from stress, injury or infection.
2) The percipient is interacting with coherent information from an *internal* source which is perceived as a life-like experience.
3) The percipient is interacting with an external source and this is interpreted as a life-like, explicible experience.
4) The consciousness of the percipient relocates to another site where the stimuli are interpreted as a life-like experience
5) The consciousness of the percipient relocates to another site where real events occur while they occupy another body.
6) The consciousness of the percipient relocates to another site while they occupy a "copy" or "shadow" of their actual body.
My choices:
Type 1 (2). An unknown agency is performing procedures with people.
Type 2 (1) can occur, but where a Type 1 (2) is suspected and where other manifestations are in evidence it could be Types 2 (3) or (4).
Type 3 (1) occurs but significantly does not rule out other options and its presence may in fact support their validity. Type 3 (3) is preferred.
