This is a last minute addition: We have scheduled Dr. Robert Davis, author of "The UFO Phenomenon: Should I Believe?"

Robert Davis Ph.D tells us "I have appeared on numerous shows including Coast to Coast AM with George Knapp discussing my book, survey results from 1500 people who claim to have had unique ET contact of various kinds, including abductions, among many other topics. The survey was initiated as part of the work by the Dr. Edgar Mitchell Foundation for Research into Extraterrestrial Experiencers (FREE) which may be found at: The Foundation for Research into Extraterrestrial Encounters (FREE)."

His bio:

Robert Davis is an internationally recognized scientist in his field, and served as a professor at the State University of New York for over 30 years. He graduated with a Ph.D in Neuroscience from The Ohio State University. Dr. Davis has published over 40 articles in scholarly journals, presented papers at numerous conferences worldwide, and was awarded several major grants to fund research in the neurosciences. He serves as a member of the Board of Directors, and Research Team of the Dr. Edgar Mitchell Foundation for Research into Extraterrestrial Encounters (FREE). FREE is conducting a comprehensive research study on individuals that have had UFO related contact experiences with a Non-Human Intelligent Being (NHIB). Preliminary results have been obtained from over 2,500 individuals who report conscious recall of contact with UFOs and NIHBs. Dr. Davis has written a book on the UFO phenomenon, entitled "The UFO Phenomenon: Should I Believe?"

He says:

"I firmly believe UFOs exist but UFO investigations over decades have failed to determine the 'who, what, and why's' associated with this topic. I can address these issues and associated theories (e.g., quantum physics, consciousness and telepathy, opinions pertaining to past research and needed future directions, among many other related topics, which I believe your audience will find interesting."

When he uses the word "failed," he's got my attention.

We'll be recording this interview on Thursday, September 1, from 3:00 PM until 5:00 PM Pacific time.

Robert, do you believe that telepathy is caused by atmospheric feedback, or unnatural irradiation?

Have you studied telepathy as a physical circumstance of atmospheric feedback, ie. being irradiated by unnatural converting nuclear wavelengths, feeling the pain caused as a cell change/mind change condition, having the pain recorded by photon interaction and then the information fed back to the mind/physical body due to the status of irradiation, causing the belief that the alien is attacking?

Would you agree that the image of converting matter (alien or artificial nuclear sound imagery) is formed after the interaction, and why the nuclear condition is causing the artificial attacks on life, both as sound and image feedback?
 
Any thoughts on why apparent advanced beings feel the need to wait until people are asleep to perform the abduction, especially as these people are waking up in any case so why wait? Just grab them off the street...
 
Do you think speculation on the who's and why's of the UFO phenomenon is important? Should we instead be focusing on the individual (s) who have the experience? What was happening in the life of the witness before and also after ?
 
  1. What conclusions have you drawn on the Betty/Barney Hill abduction case?
  2. What is your opinion on the Antio Villas Boas case?
  3. What is your opinion on the Travis Walton case?
  4. What do you consider to be the most bizarre case that defies conventional explanation?
  5. Do you lean toward any one explanation (even if it's slightly more probable than others) for those cases that defy conventional explanations?
 
1) Abduction/contact research in general is heavily damaged by methodological problems, rendering possibly everything done up to this point scientifically worthless. Please discuss in detail your knowledge of these problems and why your protocols might do better.

2) As part of your literature review due diligence, can we assume you’ve read The Abduction Enigma: An Investigation of the Alien Abduction Phenomenon? If so, what do think are its strengths and weaknesses?

3) Any investigator into alleged ET contact is aware of the True Believer confabulation phenomenon: People will take anomalous but not high strange data from their external environment, filter it through an idiosyncratic personality seeking validation or mystery or attention, give it meaning and significance cued by UFOs and aliens in popular culture, and out of this construct a largely falsified narrative that nevertheless is told with conviction and with seemingly “authentic” emotional response. How to you control for this?

4) A major methodological problem is that a patently false ET contact story could look identical to one that allegedly isn’t. How can you tell them apart?

5) If these contacts are happening as frequently as FREE might believe they are, then how is it that this hasn’t been captured on camera yet? Alien contact would be the discovery of human history, and yet no one has managed to set up a camera on a tripod to film this? It defies belief. This fact alone would add weight to the view that we’re not dealing with actual contact at all, but rather a complex psychological confabulation process made popular and socially acceptable by mass media and New Age believers. How would you respond?

6) Even supposedly scientifically oriented abduction and contact researchers, at least one associated with FREE, frequently use unscientific language and concepts uncritically drawn from popular religiosity in addition to New Age beliefs. Buzzwords like ‘vibration’, or talk of ‘higher dimensions’ are used with no apparent awareness of how these ideas are understood in mathematics or physics. It’s also common to find abduction/contact researchers who uncritically subscribe to all manner of paranormal and supernatural beliefs like ghosts or reincarnation or angels or biblical mythology or the so-called “astral plane,” etc., etc. Does FREE see this as a problem AT ALL in terms of establishing its own credibility and the credibility of research in general into alleged abductions and alien contact?

7) Is there one, just one piece of material evidence anywhere in existence that could be presented for objective review that would establish that there might be something truly extraordinary and non-human behind alleged abductions and alien contact?

Thank you, Gene and Chris! Warm regards to you both. -Eric
 
Would you consider that occultists who advise us all by their literature want possession of the atmospheric condition/UFO and new collider model, the reason for phenomena itself, as a consideration of pre existing ancient sciences and modern scientific practices?

Would you consider that "abduction" is just a new psyche awareness that by condition and consideration also relate to old occult advice about "possession".

Would you consider that occultists are so evil minded as an organization that they would cause our natural life to be destroyed?

Would you consider that greed and secrecy is the reason why a human would believe in the abduction of another's spirit and then try to artificially emulate the condition for atmospheric ownership?

Would you also consider that if a human once owned an atmospheric interaction and then the mass was lost that their mind would then believe from the loss and physical attack that what they once owned as an interaction was now abducted by the UFO manifestation itself....seeing that the UFO manifestation increased by a huge body witness since new atmospheric experiments?

These are some of the main abduction cases of the last century and this author might provide a new perspective on them. If not, I'm sure he'll move onto something else.

I disagree. Ufology brought up some facts recently about Travis Walton which I didn't know about. I would like to hear Dr Davis opinion on these
 
I look forward to this show, albeit I am little disappointed about not getting to ask any questions. I'm certain it'll be very interesting nonetheless.
 
Some listener questions were asked. @EricTheRed While your Forum and question contributions are really appreciated and a great standard, I'd ask if you could be as brief as possible with question lengths, because when they get read out, slowly and well-pronounced for all to understand, I feel some questions are kinda awkward for the guest to fully ingest and answer. Not necessarily your own questions but often we get 'single' questions that actually ask several distinct questions which really can be difficult to remember, especially as I think most guests are usually trying to keep a number of things they intend saying in the interview, all 'afloat' at once in their heads!

Of course, sometimes a good question simply has to be pretty long and of course such good questions will be asked.

So, just to be clear, no particular complaint against anyone, just try and keep questions coming in the most compact form that is possible while asking the thing you want!

Thanks.
