Alien Society and the Abduction Phenomenon by David M. Jacobs
Speculating about the inner workings of alien society has always been
the special preserve of philosophers, science-fiction authors, and
scriptwriters for motion pictures and television dramas. Their
fanciful depictions are usually imaginative projections derived from
their personal upbringings, their creative powers, and the societies
and technological cultures in which they have lived.
These representations have been fascinating, frightening, and
entertaining. For the audiences, their plots' fictional genesis has
never been in question. The discourse between the audience and the
inventor has been an agreed upon fiction in which aliens are portrayed
according to cultural norms of the times. Aliens are benevolent and
have come to help humans, aliens are malevolent and have come to take
over and/or destroy human society, aliens have come to share in human
society because of their own planetary problems, or aliens are angry
at spacefaring humans whom they wish to destroy to protect themselves.
These ideas have permeated entertainment in the 20th century from the
early pulp science-fiction magazines like Amazing Stories and Galaxy,
to the first alien-themed movies of the early 1950s and to similar
science-fiction television shows of the 1950s and 1960s.
Now, for the first time, another way of constructing an alien society
has developed—one that may be fascinating, frightening, and even, on
some level, entertaining, but not necessarily fictional. I am, of
course, referring to abductee descriptions of aliens and their
interactions aboard UFOs. It is from these descriptions that a picture
of alien society can be drawn that portrays a very different society
than one based on culturally derived fictional representations.
The new authors of these alien accounts are not, for the most part,
professional writers, producers, directors, actors, or others in the
entertainment and literary industry. The vast majority of them are not
prompted to fashion their stories in the hopes of celebrity or
remuneration. Often they are reluctant storytellers who would
sometimes prefer not to tell their accounts rather than either to
confront these stories consciously with their potential psychological
ramifications for the narrator, or to have to suffer the ridicule that
might result for themselves and their families if the stories were to
become publicized. Indeed, many say they have had experiences that
they remember but have no desire to relate them to anyone.
In spite of this, thousands of individuals have come forward to tell
their private stories—although one suspects that the vast majority
have not done so even though they might want to because they have
found no sympathetic and competent listeners. For the ones who have
come forward, their narratives comprise an extraordinary body of
evidence revealing a generally consistent account of alien life that
is on the one hand science-fiction like and on the other hand original
and ingenuous. The distinctiveness of these fantastic stories coupled
with nonfiction makes them striking in their verisimilitude.
Of course, the evidence for their reality is largely anecdotal and
often incomplete, and each account often presents more questions than
it answers, as is to be expected with new and still emerging data that
have not yet been fully analyzed. Using these accounts to generalize
about the kind of society in which extraterrestrials might dwell is
obviously intellectually risky because the information is so
controversial. We are in the position of formulating hypotheses mainly
on accounts derived from memory, often filtered through hypnosis
usually administered by amateurs. It is difficult to imagine a weaker
form of evidence.
Furthermore, abductees, from whose memory our knowledge of alien
society comes, will sometimes confabulate and relate events during
their abductions that either did not happen or happened in very
different ways from the ones they remember. Thus, using this
information to construct an alien society is a difficult and perhaps
even pointless pursuit and presents the danger of being a unique form
of collective science fiction—perhaps a bizarre offshoot of the much-
reviled collective-unconscious theory.
In spite of these problems, the consistency of detail and of narrative
line, and the extraordinary circumstances in which these abductee
stories are fashioned add a sense of authenticity to them that cannot
be matched by fiction authors. With this information generalizations
can be made, although partial, that might give us a clearer view into
the extraordinary world of alien society.
According to my analysis of abductee testimony, the structure of alien
society, like any human society, is complex. Abductees describe a
highly evolved and advanced I technological society that gives the
appearance of a smooth running, hierarchical, technocratically ordered
culture. The beings are obviously very advanced technologically. This
requires a mental capacity (either from biological manufacture or from
evolution) commensurate with the ability to advance science and thus,
in some respects, similar to that of humans. Although their mental
ability is on a par or even higher than humans, abductees give no
evidence to suggest that aliens' physiological mechanisms and the
processes within their anatomical and genetic make-up are the same as
humans.
Abductees have indicated that alien gross morphology is humanlike but
their appearance is nonetheless different. Several varieties of aliens
appear to be involved in the abduction phenomenon. The most common
ones are the . gray aliens who seemingly do the bulk of the abduction
work. They come in two varieties: small and taller. Abductees also
report seeing reptilian beings, insect beings, and human beings.
Little is known about the reptilian-like beings, and I have found
their reporting to be less common than the other types. Human-like
beings are almost certainly adult hybrids, of which more will be said
later. Abductees indicate that the insect-like beings are taller than
the other aliens and at the top of a hierarchical structure of
authority; they give orders, while all others take them. For the
purposes of this article, all aliens, except hybrids, will be
considered as one group.
In spite of their anatomical and hierarchical differences, the beings
all have certain common and important ~ characteristics: They are all
seen together on board the same UFOs, they all do more or less the
same procedures, and most importantly, they all appear to be working
together for the same goal. Thus, one can surmise that they all come
from the same society. But they have another aspect in common that
might help to define the society in which they dwell: They all can
communicate telepathically with each other and with abductees.
TELEPATHIC COMMUNICATION
Telepathic communication has been a more or less constant feature of
the abduction phenomenon since the earliest investigations.
Like all consistent aspects of the abduction phenomenon, this is
remarkable. One would expect that in a phenomenon derived from the
human psyche, a wide variety of communication styles would be
reported, which most certainly would involve verbal-aural
communication emanating from the aliens' mouths, being heard through
the abductees' ears, and vice versa. Sign language might be a common
feature of communication that deluded abductees would seize upon.
However, these more commonsensical reports are quite rare. In fact,
the constancy of reported telepathy for over 35 years from all over
the world strongly suggests that it is the normal mode of
communication for all aliens and humans during abduction events.
Abductees inadvertently bolster the idea that telepathy is the main
communication mode by providing indirect evidence that alien
physiology is consistent with mental, rather than spoken,
communication. Their descriptions indicate that insect aliens have no
noticeable mouths or noses, making the aspiration of air difficult if
not impossible. The more commonly reported small and tall gray aliens
appear to have mouth-like structures with no tongues or teeth. Aliens
do not use these structures for sound formation, and the mouths are
almost always closed. There is little evidence that their jaws open
and close (or, indeed, that they have jaws). Although some abductees
report that their mouths are open in a fashion, these accounts are
rare, and because of the confabulation problem, one must be wary of
them. Facial musculature, which would allow for ~ expressiveness, is
not reported.
Finally, abductees do not report anything resembling a respiratory
system, nor do they describe any apparent larynx, esophagus, lung
capacity, or aspiration essential for sound formation for either the
gray aliens or the insect beings. On the receiving end of
communication, the insect aliens do not have ears or any apparent
apparatuses for collecting sound waves. Abductees often see a tiny
hole where the ears should be on the gray aliens. If these are used
for receiving sound, they do not, at least on the surface, appear to
be very sophisticated organs.
As can be expected, sounds emanating from the aliens are not reliably
reported in abduction reports. Without ears, one cannot know the
extent to which the aliens are capable of hearing. That they do hear
something is possible because they apparently discern the direction of
communication. For example, when an abductee physically creates a
disturbance on board a UFO, it attracts the aliens' attention even
when they were not originally looking at the abductee, although it
still is difficult to tell whether the ruckus mentally attracts their
attention or whether the physical commotion causes their notice. Also,
when an abductee speaks, the aliens will frequently turn and face the
one who is communicating. All of this, of course, might well be
consistent with telepathy, and whether the aliens have any sense of
hearing is still unknown.
Although telepathy is the main method of communication, abductees
indicate that the aliens have a written culture as well. For example,
on board a UFO abductees will sometimes see what appears to be reading
material—books, papers, and other graphical representations of
language.
They occasionally describe symbols on the walls and on various
equipment or machines. In some abductions, people have reported being
required to memorize a set of symbols, which they assume to be an
alphabet or pictographs. Thus, although we cannot at this time know
all that occurs within alien society, it is difficult to imagine a
technologically advanced society without a written form of
communication, and, at least for the purposes of their abduction
activity, it seems probable that aliens use primarily both a nonspoken
and graphical symbolic language for their communication.
The reporting of the aliens' unique communication qualities is so
pervasive and consistent that any in-depth study of alien culture must
assume that telepathy is one of the most influential features. A
culture's communication style profoundly influences the type of
society in which its inhabitants live. For example, tribal societies
without written language rely heavily on memory, oral tradition,
storytelling, and demonstration to pass knowledge through the
generations. As a consequence, historical memory plays a much more
important role in cultural transmission than it does in literate
societies. Social relations are often organized around those special
people who are entrusted to keep the memory of the past. This may not
be the case with alien culture, but an examination of the effects of
telepathy and its consequences might yield, along with other known
factors about their behavior, some insight into the kind of society in
which they live.
ACTIVATING TELEPATHIC COMMUNICATION
Researchers do not know how telepathic communication is activated
between humans and aliens. At least three scenarios are possible.
The first suggests that each human has an innate physiological ability
to communicate telepathically with other humans, and the aliens in
some way tap into that normally unused facility. In fact, it is not
uncommon for ordinary people to claim that they can read people's
minds. Researchers engaged in testing whether extrasensory perception
is genuine have long debated the existence of these abilities. So far
the evidence, while suggestive, is inconclusive, and these claims have
not been consistently validated. If this ability is authentic and all
humans share it even slightly, it would have become a central feature
of human thought, culture, and life. The profound effect it would have
had on almost all human relations would most certainly have made human
history radically different from what it has been. In fact, little
evidence exists that every human has a biological ability to
communicate telepathically. And the majority of humans do not claim to
have innate telepathic powers. Therefore, telepathic communication is
not and has not been a valid and recognized form of human
communication.
If telepathy is not physiologically innate, a second scenario may
apply: Abductee telepathy is artificially stimulated by neurological
manipulations and/or alterations. Thus, aliens provide humans with
telepathic abilities by biologically affecting permanent changes in
brain chemistry. If this were the case, one would expect that this
telepathic ability would continue after abduction events. In fact,
some abductees do claim this happens. They say that after some
abductions they have a gradually decreasing ability to read people's
minds for as long as two weeks afterward.
Unfortunately, virtually no scientific studies have been mounted to
substantiate this, and the abductees have not checked with those
people who are the object of their mind reading to ascertain their
accuracy. But even if this were true, one would expect that telepathic
abilities would last over the course of an abductee's lifetime and not
exist only sporadically.
It is, of course, possible that the biological changes causing
telepathic capacity respond to stimuli only originating with alien
causative factors. This would mean that telepathy could be activated
for an abduction event and then deactivated after. If the deactivation
is in some way incomplete, and a residue of it lingers and wanes,
abductees might gain a sense of telepathic communication with other
humans in everyday life. This could explain the abductee reports of
post-abduction teIepathic abdities.
The third possibility for telepathic response is that it is caused by
manufactured devices implanted into abductee brains. The implantation
of such a device might take place during infancy or early childhood.
It could be activated and deactivated automatically during an
abduction. Sometimes these devices might be faulty in some way and,
like the faulty deactivation of biological changes, cause the
telepathic response to continue for a period after the abduction.
However, researchers have yet to discover any such implant in a
characteristic region of the brain, recover it, and then demonstrate
its function.
Whatever the causative factor, a form of telepathic communication
starts at the very beginning of virtually every abduction event. While
it is not necessarily converted into words, the abductees know what is
conveyed to them. Aliens can initiate this type of telepathic
communication even before the abductees see them. For example,
abductees "know" that they must go to bed, get out of bed, go
downstairs, go outside, drive somewhere, stop the car, or do whatever
activities the nonverbal orders have them do so that the abduction can
begin.
It is important to understand that all reports of personally directed
telepathic communication between abductees and aliens from a great
distance that are not involved with abduction activity are usually
examples of channeling. The evidence strongly suggests that aliens are
not in communication with abductees apart from abductions. Thus,
accounts of people having personalized dialogues in their normal
environments with aliens on a continuing basis are to be taken with
extreme caution. In the same sense, "messages" to abductees should
also be viewed with extreme skepticism.
TELEPATHIC DEACTIVATION
Telepathic communication is deactivated just as mysteriously as it
begins. Abductees do not report procedures whereby the aliens cause
telepathic communication to cease. If this were the case, researchers
would be seeing it at the end of every abduction event. Thus, the
closest we can come to understanding the origin of the implementation
of telepathic communication in the abductee is that it is the result
of some sort of neurological engagement, artificial or biological,
with the aliens. It starts with the alteration of consciousness and
perception that engages neurologically at the beginning of all
abduction events and usually ends when the abduction is completed.
ALIEN-TO-HUMAN COMMUNICATION
When one asks abductees what they mean by "telepathic communication,"
they generally say that they receive an impression in their mind,
which automatically converts into words for comprehension. Reports
from people of different nationalities indicate that the abductees
convert telepathic communication into whatever language they speak.
Thus, and this is important in understanding the global nature of the
phenomenon, the aliens circumvent the problem of having to communicate
in the vast variety of human languages. When in rare instances an
abductee reports that the telepathic communication he or she is
receiving contains an "accent," one can surmise that this has more to
do with the abductee's expectations than with the reality of the
situation (this observation my not apply to hybrid communication).
One of the great problems encountered by abduction researchers is the
way in which abductees recount alien telepathic communication. Not
only can it be very difficult for abductees to remember exactly what
has been "said," but remembrance is also complicated immeasurably by
the problem of the abductee deciding exactly where the communication
originated. Many abductees routinely mistake their own thoughts for
thoughts put in their mind by the aliens.
The question is, how does one distinguish between hearing impressions
from the aliens, or hearing one's own thoughts? This problem, akin to
channeling, has provided the rocks upon which many inexperienced
abduction researchers have foundered. Mistaking human thought for
alien communication, researchers have often developed poor and
misleading data. Because of the human origination of this
communication, channeled messages of societal concern and benevolence
often make their way to the public and cause confusion among abductees
and researchers alike.
Most of the time, abductees have no difficulty identifying and
understanding alien communication, although they often have problems
describing accurately that conversation for the researcher. Because of
trouble converting the communication back to spoken or written
language when remembering it, they generally add the phases, "or .
something like that" and, "or words to that effect," to indicate that
they cannot translate the telepathic dialogue with total accuracy.
Therefore, some imprecision, at least in recall, might be a somewhat
constant feature of alien-to-human communication.
Although the aliens are generally not forthcoming about their goals
and purposes, in some instances conversations take place with
abductees in which the aliens are more substantive and focus on those
issues. These conversations are infrequent, but when they occur, they
can be significant, giving insight into the abduction program as a
whole. However, the majority of the aliens' conversations with
abductees are either directive or palliative. They tell the abductee
to remove his clothes, to get up on a table, to follow them, to get
dressed, that it is time to go, and so forth. They tell the abductee
that he will not be hurt, or that he will not be there long, that
everything is going to be all right, to calm down, and so forth.
HUMAN-TO-ALIEN COMMUNICATION
Humans communicate with aliens in much the same way as the aliens
communicate with them. Abductees report that they were unable to
fashion words with their mouths. They indicate that they were
paralyzed and could not speak even if they wanted to. Just as often
they say that it does not even occur to them to use their voices.
But in order to engage aliens in conversation, they know that it must
be accomplished from mind to mind. Usually, humans report
communication with aliens that relate to their situation on board the
object: the purpose of procedures administered to them, how long they
will be there, and if others abducted with them are all right. They
might even ask general questions about the purposes and meaning of the
abduction program, although this is not usual.
Asking questions, however, does not mean that the aliens will answer;
the question does not necessarily provide psychological pressure for
an alien to answer. If they i answer at all, it is often with vague
generalities. Thus, responding to a question does not necessarily mean
that valuable information will be imparted, although it sometimes does
occur.
Although virtually all communication is telepathic, abductees report
that at times they find that they can verbalize. Usually this comes
out in the form of shouts, cries, moans, and other vocalizations. It
is sometimes a shock for an abductee to hear the silence pierced by
the screams of another abductee on board a UFO. Therefore,
vocalization is possible at times, but word formation is not.
ALIEN-TO-ALIEN COMMUNICATION
In order to develop and maintain a scientifically advanced society,
alien-to-alien telepathic communication must, by logic and necessity,
be precise. The aliens must be able to convey advanced scientific
concepts and mathematical equations on a sophisticated level.
Accuracy, clarity, and flexibility in communication would be essential
for their accomplishments. Thus, sophisticated "intra-communication"
between aliens is critical. And it parallels the requisites that human
languages possess.
Aliens are often seen communicating with each other in private
conversation, and they are seen in group situations in which all
participants are communicating. How rich their communication skills
are is unknown, but they are able to convey all that is needed to
create their civilization.
The aliens' logical minds suggest that the interactions and thought
processes with abductees are quite similar to those of humans. We are
able to understand their commands, their desires, their motivations,
and their procedures. Most areas of alien life are still mysterious,
but the evidence suggests that given enough information, everything
they do is amenable to human understanding, both through direct
communication with abductees and by deduction afterward by
researchers.
HUMAN-TO-HUMAN TELEPATHY
Abductees can sometimes carry on conversations with other abductees
whom they encounter on board a UFO. Human-to-human communication can
either be by telepathy or by voice. When talking to another human, the
abductees do not consciously chose telepathy or voice. They simply do
one or the other. Why humans can communicate aurally with one another
is a mystery, given that it is apparently very difficult in other
abduction contexts. It is possible that they only think they are
talking normally but they are actually communicating telepathically.
When humans converse with one another, their conversations typically
often focus on how they can escape from the UFO or what the aliens are
going to do to them. Often one abductee tries to calm or reassure
other abductees, saying that the aliens will not hurt them and they
will be leaving soon.
In effect, they do the aliens' work for them. Whether this is because
of alien design or because it stems from human compassion remains to
be seen. Although these types of conversation seem reasonable on the
surface, in fact they are somewhat frustrating for the researcher.
Only rarely will the abductees exchange their names and addresses.
They seem unaware that they will most likely forget the experience
directly afterwards, and it does not occur to them that it might be
important to locate the person whom they saw on board for verification
of their experience. Much of this has to do with the aliens' abilities
to neurologically alter the mechanisms of memory and consciousness
that is beyond the scope of this discussion.
INDIRECT HUMAN-ALIEN TELEPATHY
Frequently abductees report that they can tap into communication
between two or more aliens and between other humans and other aliens.
Although it is difficult for them to be precise about everything the
aliens say, they generally comprehend the context of the discussions,
which often involve mundane exchanges about the best way to go about
performing a procedure upon the abductee, the nature of the next
procedure to perform, or aspects of the abductee's physiology.
Sometimes abductees can be quite specific, detailing what each alien
said. Therefore, aliens and humans in proximity to hear telepathic
communication can receive at least some of it. It is not known if the
aliens can privatize their communication by whispering or by in some
way preventing others from hearing their thoughts.
As yet, I and other researchers have found no evidence to suggest that
abductees can hear or monitor alien thought processes apart from those
specifically employed for communication. They cannot listen in on the
private mental world of thoughts that the beings might possess.
Abductees are unaware of the ideas that lurk behind the aliens'
conversations directed at them. Thus, the abductees probably have only
limited abilities to listen to the aliens' thoughts. But testimony
exists to suggest that the reverse might be true— aliens can
understand what abductees are thinking privately.
For example, when one abductee was forced to hold a hybrid baby, she
threatened to throw it to the floor. She said, however, that the
aliens knew she did not mean it. Similarly, when an abductee is
worried about another family member abducted with him, the aliens will
tell him that the relative will be all right, even though the abductee
did not directly address the alien about his fears. When abductees are
becoming frightened just before a procedure is administered, the
aliens will sense the anxiety and take measures to calm him. Abductees
appear not to have these abilities, and therefore the aliens might
well have stronger powers of telepathic communication than abductees
possess.
CONSEQUENCES OF ALIEN COMMUNICATION
The evidence suggests at least two possible scenarios for the
character of alien society. The first is based on the idea of total
telepathy: All aliens can monitor all other aliens' thoughts. There
are no barriers or limitations. The second is based on limited
telepathy: Aliens can monitor only selected (filtered) thoughts. The
second scenario suggests that the aliens have a choice about whether
or not they desire to have all thoughts open to monitoring. The two
scenarios reflect societies that might differ in the degree of
personal privacy allowed, but are nonetheless still extremely
dissimilar to human cultures.
The totally telepathic society, while having logic and rationality in
common with human societies, would, by ' necessity, be profoundly
different. Although an uncontrollable full exposure of all thoughts
would be considered horrifying in most human societies, it could be
the norm for a totally telepathic society, and its consequences would
be enormous. In effect, one would be forced to share one's innermost
private life with all others, and therefore individual freedom of
thought would be diminished or even nonexistent.
In this type of society, uniqueness and individuality could be
significantly curtailed. Special characteristics of physiology,
clothes, affect, and expression, which can be important for human
expression of individuality, would have little, if any, use in a
society where individual identity .~. is severely diminished or
altogether unnecessary. In human .r prisons and other institutions an
inmate's identity is systematically stripped away so that the
controlling powers can rebuild the member's identity to control him
psychologically and to satisfy the needs of the organization.
Prisoners are given numbers instead of names, they wear uniforms
instead of freely chosen clothes, they eat the same food, they sleep
in the same quarters, and most other areas of choice are severely
limited.
In an alien society this rebuilding would not be necessary. The
inhabitants would be born into a public, or even corporate (rather
than private) culture. The aliens' identity would be reflective
primarily of that society's needs and of the specific function that
they must perform within it. Individuality would not be deemed a
functional operative within this system.
Abductee reports appear to bear out the diminution of individual alien
identity. The gray aliens seem to have no names or personality
characteristics that separate them r from the others. Outwardly, they
look alike, dress alike, act alike, and, most probably, think alike.
They appear to have few activities that would give them personal
satisfaction— they do not joke with abductees, engage in dialogue
about themselves, ask personal questions for their own satisfaction,
and so forth. All personality and individual activity is directed
toward the abduction goal in a clinical and dispassionate way.
Because personal uniqueness, individuality, and one's r sense of self
would be significantly altered, a hive mentality would ensue as
function and performance become more important than creativity and
initiative. The group rather than the individual becomes the most
important social unit, as the alien is less a private than a public
being. In effect, the government or the hierarchy of authority becomes
paramount as the individual is subordinated to group needs. In this
atmosphere, harboring thoughts opposed to the group's prevailing norms
and viewpoints might be undesirable and perhaps even unthinkable. The
beings would have little or no ability to become rebels or to struggle
significantly against the societal grain. Conformity and rigid truth
would be the norm regardless of nuance or the little white lies of
normal discourse that allow for human society to proceed smoothly and
humanely without injury to others' feelings. In such a society, good
or evil do not exist, only function and compliance.
The second scenario suggests that alien society might be based on a
reduced, or partial, telepathy. In this type of telepathic society it
is probable that the aliens would have r, more control in their
ability to be telepathic. It is difficult to imagine a functioning
society in which every thought is open to everyone else (as noted in
the first scenario). For example, the noise of other beings' thoughts
impeding upon one's mind would be detrimental to accurate
communication and possibly imperil survival. Without the critical
capacity to filter out what is not wanted, one's ability to perform
tasks accurately and efficiently would be impeded. Therefore, it is
probably necessary for the beings to have a mechanism to turn aspects
of telepathy on or off or at least increase or decrease its intensity.
It is highly likely that they employ a filtering method for clarity of
communication, and thus telepathy might very well be limited to
purposeful communication.
Nevertheless, the ability to tap into another being's thoughts on any
level would significantly diminish the concept of privacy. Although
the aliens would have a more private inner life, their sense of self
and their ability to express individuality would be severely
compromised. The salient factor would still be the inner, rather than
outer, mode of expression and communication, and that might well have
almost as severe a set of consequences on group versus individual
norms as total telepathy would have, and it would still be consistent
with abductee descriptions of their interactions.
Whatever the degree of telepathy, the chances are that it actively
contributes to a society that is more communal than private, more
conforming than individual. It is unknown to what degree the aliens
can employ and manipulate telepathy, but regardless of the degree of
this method of communication, it suggests even more profound
differences between alien and human society.
ALIEN AND HUMAN SOCIETAL DIFFERENCES
In human society, much of the quality of life is dependent upon the
hearing mechanism. In a society based on telepathy, it must not be
assumed that the aliens have lost their ability to hear through eons
of evolution; their communicative abilities might well have evolved
and developed as a normal part of their genetics (if, indeed, they
have genetics). Thus, the nonhearing society would not have the
benefit of the aesthetic world that comes with hearing. All music (and
perhaps dance), which enriches and fulfills our lives in innumerable
ways and which are some of the earliest and most important art forms
for all human societies, would be nonexistent in a telepathic society.
It also implies that the aliens might have no genetically determined
aesthetic sense and/or inner emotions satisfied by rhythmic and
melodic notes produced by patterned tones and beats.
The normal visual cues that both deaf and hearing humans rely upon for
complete communication are, in telepathic communication, not present.
The aliens do not use their hands to gesture expressively. The subtle
and wide range of expression that humans can use—cynicism, irony,
sarcasm, drama—seem to be limited for the aliens, and the range of
communicative expression that comes from subtle facial movements is
almost nonexistent. Abductees do not report the use of body language
to communicate subtleties and nuance, although it is possible that
aliens may have incorporated this into their telepathic communication
without abductees being able to recognize it.
EMOTIONS, TELEPATHY, AND VISUAL ARTS
Abductees report that alien emotional range seems to be greatly
circumscribed. Possibly, telepathy restricts the range of emotions
that can be transmitted and/or received. Whatever the reasons,
abductee narratives suggest that aliens' emotional life falls within
narrow parameters. That they do have emotions is widely reported. They
seem to display satisfaction, excitement, a limited form of happiness,
and even a limited form of fondness. Conversely, they can become
frustrated, annoyed, surprised, peeved, and even irritated. Abductees
sometimes describe aliens as having an extremely rudimentary sense of
humor, especially when dealing with human children.
Although aliens obviously possess emotions, their feelings are not
variable and expansive enough to encompass what humans rely upon for a
normal quality of life. In general, abductees do not report instances
when they see aliens laughing, crying, becoming enraged, expressing
sincere love, unrestrained joy, feeling jealousy, or having their
feelings hurt. In general, they do not display a deep sense of humor,
and abductees rarely report that they are laughing. Virtually every
emotion seems to exist within a narrow range. It is conceivable that
these emotions are present but the aliens hold them rigidly in check.
However, with the extremely wide range of abduction accounts now
available, this seems unlikely because abductees almost never report
seeing slip-ups in which the aliens exhibit wider limits of their
emotions. Abductees have reported that they can telepathically sense
this limited range of emotions even under the most trying times when
they have physically attacked aliens, refused to cooperate with them,
actively resisted them by running, flailing, and so on. Under these
trying circumstances, one would expect a wider assortment of alien
emotional reactions, but none is forthcoming.
If the aliens actually have this restricted emotional sense, it has
profound implications for the telepathic society in which they live.
Aliens obviously have the sense of sight, but without the emotional
range to gratify the senses visually, it is doubtful whether they have
developed an art form based on vision. Thus, paintings, drawings, and
graphics
are conspicuous by their absence within the interior of UFOs. Strong
color, which causes emotional reactions in humans, is almost
nonexistent on the walls of UFOs. In fact, abductees report little
aesthetic sense whatever in their surroundings on board the UFOs. The
rooms, equipment, hallways, and most apparel are functional, clinical,
and devoid of artistic expression. The small gray aliens and most of
the taller gray aliens dress alike (if they wear anything at all), and
fashion design does not appear to be important. The exception to this
is the insect-like beings who sometimes wear robes with high collars
(some abductees have reported robes with a simple hem design on them).
Abductees also report that these beings will sometimes also wear an
amulet around their neck with a design on it. Whether the design or
amulet is for decorative purpose or for another, perhaps political,
social, or technological purpose is unknown.
The aliens' lack of a nose and mouth (and with evidence of obtaining
nutrition by absorption) suggests the absence of the entire range of
sensory satisfaction in which humans indulge through the preparation
and ingestion of food. The great cuisine’s of the world and all the
lore, mythology, and day-to-day enjoyment of eating would not be a
factor in the aliens' society. Fragrances by themselves would have
little or no meaning. For example, freshly mowed grass, flowers, and
the entire range of earthly and animal scents would be lost on aliens.
With a restricted range of emotions—coupled with their lack of ears,
noses, or mouths—their society would be less colorful than ours. One
would expect that the range of emotion-based interactions between the
aliens would be limited; events that generate enjoyment, laughter,
awe, thrills, and so forth, would be either severely restricted or
nonexistent. In this dull world, the texture of alien society would be
flatter and emptier than that of human society and hence far less
stimulating.
The paucity of aesthetic sense means that the world of human art and
design with all its branches is unknown to the aliens and perhaps not
understood. It also means that they probably do not understand the
role that aesthetics plays in human life. This suggests that a
complete understanding of human psychology may be beyond their grasp.
They might remain forever outsiders, partially grasping human
motivation, but unable to fully comprehend it. (But they can still use
human emotion for their own purposes as they have done so effectively
in their neurologically based staring and visualization procedures.)
Thus, the world of art and aesthetics that occupy the lives of so many
humans is nonexistent in an alien society. It is entirely possible
that there are no art forms like painting, drawing, photography,
literature, drama, and performance art. The passionate and complex
world of theater, entertainment, sports, or any other area depending
on the highs and low of human emotions does not exist in their world.
If this were true, they would live in a dull, joyless society focused
on work, obedience, subservience to the
group, and obedience to an authoritarian hierarchy.
TELEPATHY AND ALIEN EMOTIONAL LIFE
In a society based on telepathy and restricted emotional range, it
might be difficult to experience what we would call ~ love. Without a
sense of self-love that comes from a sense r of individuality, the
aliens might have a diminished capacity to have these feelings. They
certainly have the ability to elicit feelings of love and affection in
abductees through neural stimulation, and abductees often make the
mistake of assuming that those feelings are reciprocal. Although a
taller alien being might show a sense of friendship or even intimate
that he likes someone, there is little evidence that he has any
capacity to love in the human sense.
The aliens' inability to love also suggests that theirr sense of
morality and conscience might be different. This complements their
apparent lack of individual personality, attributes, especially in the
smaller beings, and the steady pace of cooperation that abductees
report. It also allows for their apparent lack of moral qualms when
they abduct people. For them, the ends justify the means, and the
concept of conscience does not seem to play an important role in their
abduction program.
Rationality and logic play a far more important role in r their
society than emotion, empathy, and sympathy. Thus, the human
connection that one expects in all human societ-, ies would be absent
in alien society. When this connection is lost and the dominant group
identifies the other as the enemy or the lesser species, it becomes
easier for that group to subjugate or even eliminate the subordinate
group. The history of genocide in the world amply displays the
consequences of the objectification and demonization of the' other.
The aliens' activity in relation to the abduction and r exploitation
of humans could well be an indication of this mode of thinking.
TELEPATHY AND HYBRIDS
One aspect of alien society is especially important and deserves
mention. Significantly, hybrids appear to bridge the gap between alien
and human both in appearance and in communication. While the ones that
look more alien (early- r stage) communicate telepathically, the ones
that look more human (late-stage) can communicate both telepathically,
and orally. When the late-stage hybrids speak through their mouths,
they are more communicative and more expressive than the aliens. One
can speculate that the more human they appear, the more they display
oral communicative abilities.
The hybrids live in the alien-dominated society, and their lives are
ruled by that dominant culture. When abductees describe disagreements
and clashes between aliens and r hybrids, the differences between a
subordinate society with more complete humanlike sensory abilities—
hearing, tasting, smelling, and so on—and thus a fuller emotional
range, and the more restricted nonhearing alien society are brought
into sharp relief. For example, on one occasion a hybrid was engaged
in an argument with an alien over using an abductee as a special
project. The hybrid was anxious, angry, animated, and stubborn. The
alien was cool, logical, unruffled, and in control.
If late-stage hybrid emotions run the gamut from love to hate, they
can present special difficulties for the aliens. In one abduction
event, an alien told the abductee they were having difficulty
controlling the hybrids because their emotional needs constituted a
serious problem that the aliens had not fully understood before they
embarked upon their reproductive program. If this is true, the role of
hybrid emotions looms as a significant problem for the aliens. What
the final results will be of the mixing of these two types of beings
is unclear.
CONCLUSION
The aliens (insect and gray) most likely represent a society based on
different sensate determinants than those of human societies. Their
society appears to be group- and work- oriented. They live in a
colorless society, both literally and figuratively. It has fewer
diversions and entertainments, and less aesthetic content than human
society. On board a UFO, it is apparent that the aliens lead a life of
service and work in which individuality is subordinated to the group.
Their form of communication plays a significant role in the ordering
of their lives and culture. Privacy and individual expression are
either nonexistent or severely truncated. Telepathy both isolates and
joins the aliens together in ways that are very different than in
human societies. The quality of the aliens lives and the shape of
their society as a whole is significantly formed by the role that the
interplay between telepathy and a restricted neurology of the senses
plays. It is a society in which humans would feel quite alien. --

ALIEN PLAN FOR HUMANS - Information from Abductees by George A. Filer
Michael Menkin’s website contains the following remarkable information
from abductees that is worth considering: There will be some kind of
final event or invasion. Many abductees will participate in the event
and perform tasks that the aliens have trained them to do. According
to one abductee, it takes two pilots to control one alien spacecraft.
The aliens are short on pilots so they are training abductees to pilot
their spacecraft during the final event! One abductee, a woman in her
mid fifties, is being trained to rescue aliens on the ground during
the event, so the aliens must be considering that they will meet
resistance for whatever they plan to do. An abductee in England
reported that large groups of abductees are taken to some kind of
meeting center and receive a presentation about the aliens’ plans for
the future, which includes a climatic event. Aliens will take all of
the children they are working with at their final act. The parents of
several child abductees reported this information. Heren’s what an
alien/human hybrid telepathically told an abductee as reported in his
book, The Threat by David M. Jacobs, Ph.D.
“And he’s saying to me that, ‘You know how you have memories?’
And I’m saying like, ‘What do you mean, memories?’ He’s saying, ‘You
know how you remember your father, your mother, your sister, the
birthday parties?’ I think he’s giving me an example and I’m saying
yes. And he goes, ‘Someday people who are like you will not have
those memories either. They’ll be like me.’ Like him meaning. And I’m
saying, ‘What do you mean by that?’
He’s saying, ‘Don’t you understand that?’ I said no, or rather, I
don’t say no, I just shake my head. And then again he tells me to
listen.
He says, ‘There will be only one purpose for you. You won’t have
memories like you do now.’
I’m asking him like, ‘You mean me?’ He goes, ‘No, the people who will
come after you.’
I don’t know what he means by that.
He’s asking me, ‘Are you understanding?’ I’m shaking my head like I
don’t. I’m asking him, ‘They’re not going to take me away, are they?’
And he’s saying, ‘They don’t need to take you away. They will come.’
I don’t know what he means by this. Again I ask him what are they
doing.
He looks down and he looks up at me again and he lifts his arm up. He
is saying something like, ‘Do you see this?’ And I say, ‘What, your
arm?’
He goes, ‘Never mind.’
I said, ‘No, tell me. Tell me. What are the aliens doing?’ And he’s
saying all they’re interested in, that no matter what happens at all,
is that they control.”
CONJECTURE FROM UFO SOURCES
There will be a world wide blackout which will paralyze every
industrial country in the world. The blackout will last for days.The
aliens will accomplish the blackout by transmitting large amounts of
electricity into power relay stations and blowing out their circuit
breakers.The aliens developed this technique in the 1960’s as
documented in the book, Incident at Exeter by John G. Fuller. This
scenario was also confirmed by an abductee who was taken during a
blackout in the 1960’s.
Every country’s defenses will be disabled. Aliens have disabled ICBMs
in their silos, missiles in flight as recorded by Air Force motion
pictures, missile defenses in the US, Russia, and other countries.
Aliens have flown over and tested the defenses of many military
installations around the world as described in Timothy Good’s book,
Above Top Secret, The Worldwide U.F.O. Cover Up. For information on
UFO encounters with our defenses see the books of U.S. Marine Corps
Major Donald E. Keyhoe and Richard Dolann’s book, UFOs and the
National Security State.
