During the 1950s, UFOs were still a relatively new phenomenon that many people thought deserved to be investigated impartially and scientifically. However, where some people saw scientific opportunity, others saw an as-of-yet untouched gold mine. These people were the "contactees." They're called contactees because their stories are always happy, or at the very least voluntary, as compared to the modern "abductees" who are "spacenapped" and usually the subject of some terrible experiment. Though I'm appalled at the damage they did to science, I have to admire at least some of the contactees. They saw a big fat cashcow and they milked it for all it was worth.
Basically, contactees all have the same story. After a lifetime of mild "paranormal activity," space aliens introduce themselves to the contactee. They have chosen him or her, they explain, because their "unique brain waves" will make them more receptive to contact. They have a message they want to tell the world, but don't want to do it themselves, because they are afraid of our nuclear weapons and short tempers. They then give the contactee a ride in their spaceship, showing him their home planets (usually within our solar system), which are veritable utopias. They then send the contactee back into the world to preach their message.Very little about this story varied; it wasmostly details as to the name of the alien homeworld, the length of time that they'd been among us, so on and so forth. In the 1950s, though, the message was always the same; the aliens want to make peaceful contact with us and share their utopian ways, but hesitate to do so since we're basically gorillas sitting on piles of atom bombs. Therefore, they need to use the contactee as a go-between.George Adamski and George Van Tassel were the two most successful of the contactees. They eventually had thousands of followers and adherents to their "faith of space-brotherhood." The books they wrote, which are at best grammatically poor and philosophically weak, sold out time and time again. They managed to bilk piles of money; what in....

The strange history of "alien abduction" began in 1966 with publication of John G Fuller's The Interrupted Journey, about the 1961 encounter in New Hampshire of Betty and Barney Hill. The couple said they had been taken aboard a spacecraft and subjected to detailed anatomical examinations by alien beings. The book was a best-seller, not least because a highly esteemed Boston psychiatrist used the then new technique of regressive hypnosis to uncover the Hills' buried me...Alien abduction real even if imagined
There are some people in the world who believe without the need for provable facts, and hold to the idea that aliens kidnap people from time to time, maybe though not necessarily counting themselves among those who have gone into space when they thought they were going to bed or for a walk in the woods. The belief in, and experience of, alien abduction is not too far removed at all from spiritual ideas and experiences of all kinds. It is essentially benign.When you consider that there are some t...The abduction quandary
RRRGroup: We won’t rehash the abduction phenomenon except to say that the “experience” hasn’t been researched as thoroughly as it should be. For instance, one has to ask why an alien culture (intergalactic, inter-dimensional, subliminally Earthian, or whatever) would resort to interacting with persons who are in a normal state of being (sleeping, in their cars, and otherwise occupied with mundane activity) when there are so many available humans in precarious situations, alone in remote areas, a...Alien abduction reports on the increase

Life is not all plain sailing for Kirsan Ilyumzhinov, the flamboyant leader of the Russian republic of Kalmykia. For a start, his Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit II needs constant repairs thanks to the rutted roads of his impoverished fiefdom. And then there is the danger of alien abduction. He has already been pressganged into one trip on a UFO - seven years ago when he was on a business trip to Moscow. "They took me from my apartment and we went aboard their ship," he says, sitting in hiso...Do false memories explain alien abductions ?
Do you have memories of being abducted by aliens and whisked away in a spaceship? You wouldn't be alone. Several thousand people worldwide claim to have had such close encounters, researchers say. But in a new study, a psychology expert at London's Goldsmiths College says these experiences are proof of the frailty of the human memory, rather than evidence of life in other galaxies. "Maybe what we're dealing with here is false memories, and not that people are actually being abdu...Lawyer pursues alien abduction claims
A German lawyer hopes to drum up more business by pursuing state compensation claims for people who believe they were abducted by aliens. "There's quite obviously demand for legal advice here," Jens Lorek told Reuters by telephone on Thursday.

He details how the encounters grew in intensity and how he began to realize he was dealing with humanoid beings withamazing abilities. Gradually, he began to hear their voices an...Abductee Betty Hill Dies, Aged 85

She was 85. On a return trip from Canada, the Hills said they were abducted for two hours by a UFO on Sept. 19, 1961. After going public with their story, the two gained worldwide notoriety. Their story became the subject of a book and later, a made-for-TV movie starringJames Earl Jones and...
