Yeah it was s crass little remark but I think you get my point for some reason alien visitation got a little more personal just a few decades ago. This really bothers me in trying to fit it in visitation history. I know it's been brought about that when it comes to this changing scenario the abduction expereince molds itself to the mood of the times, but what is this supposed to mean ? is this to say that while Joe Simonton was enjoying his space cookie and A.V. Boas was enjoying his space nookie (see what i did there  ?) they were actually being violated but given the era they thought they were experiencing something a little more sociable ? Does it mean that whatever could be doing this suddenly decided that were were grown up enough or that we showed our cards when it came to hostility and thereafter decided to let victims experience what was really happening ?

There is just so much noise, so much baggage when it comes to the abduction phenomenon if i were a researcher i would treat this aspect like a third rail. there is so many inconvient things that we have brought up in this forum here i sometimes wonder if maybe the abduction process isn't a distraction meant to knock a researcher off his/her game.

Mind you i don't have a lot wrapped up in this, my interest for some time in this realm has been from a psychological and a sociological point. I don't need to believe nor to find out and i embarce the folklore that goes along with it, but abduction stories really bring out the cynic in me. Mostly because we have all these unanswered questions and the best thing we can come up to explain it to ourselves is our logic isn't necessarily their logic or we can't know their agenda.. RPJ (i think) stated that maybe a traumatic abduction is exactly the point. that it's meant to let us know our place on this planet  and while i can't disavow that as an open minded person if i was trying to get somebody involved in this phenomenon or get a sceptic to open up and that was my best answer i wouldn't be surprised if i was rewarded with a snicker and some eye rolling.

there is an aspect i have heard  in some abduction/contact accounts and that is the distorted perspective that is is reported from people who say that the insides of these vessels they think(?) they are brought aboard appear larger than they do from the outside. the reason why i find this intriguing is that this aspect pops up in my dreams, again and again and again. It's tempting to wonder if there is a connection here. While i wouldn't  necessarily tell a person they were dreaming an abduction expereince i have to wonder what possible connection there could be here. I wonder, is this percieved warped peerspective unique to a dream state or can it come up in a hypnotic regression or repressed memory? 

I have mentioned a few times that if an abduction experience is happening it's because our consciousnesses were being hijacked this seems a reasonable scenario, maybe more so than getting sucked up into a flying disc. But if this was the case if our consciousness was being taken for a ride do you think it would be lucid or would it take on a dream like state quality?
