Responses and Credibility

3 Alien Myths - Coping Responses and Credibility  by John Carpenter

Myth #1
"Aliens always abduct mentally stable people."

Aliens aren't abducting anyone.  The aliens don't need to perform
experiments on human beings.   Only the CIA abducts people and uses illegal
mind control experiments under the guise of alien abduction..

  The notion that alien life forms could possibly detect in advance
how psychologically sound any individual is,  and to be able to make
an accurate selection  every time, is an extraordinary concept.  For
an otherworldly being to always be able to predict how any human being
is going to react emotionally or choose to cope is highly unlikely.
Research into UFO abductions has indicated that there are frequent
reports of "tests" or "staged events" to elicit emotional responses

>from abductees.  When these abduction participants react, there is

frequently a subtle acknowledgment that the subjects did well by just
responding with intense emotions.  This implies that they have not
understood our human emotions well and have undertaken a study of this
unexpected or less know variable--as any sensible scientist would--if
indeed this is the assumed logic of their actions.  There are many
abduction accounts in which the little grays have reacted with
apparent surprise at sudden emotional displays made by captive
humans.  The creatures tend to "stand back" or simply leave at such
moments; they do not challenge the feelings.  It therefore seems
unlikely that they could be superior in the emotional assessment of
humans prior to an abduction.

  As researchers and mental health professionals we have constantly
stressed our assessments of sanity and normality among abductees to
establish credibility for the phenomenon.  However, how many
experiencers have not coped well and lapsed into dysfunctional coping
behavior such as alcoholism, drug abuse, delinquency, overeating,
gambling, or explosive and detrimental displacement of anger?  How
many have buried their confusion, anxiety, anger, and fear in these
ways for years without knowing the source of their irritations?  How
many personalities have been shaped by years of silent intrusion upon
the mind and emotions of these humans?

  Will these unfortunate people be judged as having less credible
encounters because they are alcoholics or poorly coping individuals?
We cannot judge the nature of their original incidents by simply
assessing their present level of functioning.  Researching the
encounters may be next to impossible due to dysfunctional behavior and
fragility in coping ability.  But we should not conclude that their
encounters are created by their present-day coping deficiencies.
Skeptics will claim that the alcoholism, for example, manufactured the
anomalous event.  In fact, the opposite is more believable--that the
bizarre experience led the witness to drinking excessively as a
dysfunctional method of coping.  Nor should we conclude--without a
careful investigation of the facts--that their experiences are
imagined or self-serving.  We would be naive to assume that all
abductees will cope well, given time--and that all would even make the
revealing connection to UFO's in order to begin appropriately
processing their unresolved feelings, phobias, and non-productive
behaviors.

Myth #2
"Abductees that cannot withstand public scrutiny are less credible."

All of the CIA mind controlled "abductees", with their CIA propaganda, have
gone public.

   The second line of trouble is the public ridicule, debunking, and
disbelief that overwhelms the experiencer who may be barely managing
their emotions under such pressure.  We have seen some publicized
cases break down certain witnesses into psychotic episodes, erratic
behavior or claims, and depression with withdrawal into seclusion.
The skeptics gleefully make their claims of "hoax' or "insanity" as
these witnesses crumble under the intense weight of public scrutiny.
Can we even begin to know how that pressure would feel?  Are we to
conclude that their encounters are not real just because they fail to
survive these kinds of pressures?  The public typically makes an
instantaneous assessment based on a media critique or brief witness
interview (shaped by editing, of course.)  Those words, and images are
unlikely to represent the individual's entire experience and full
range of emotions, but like a timely snapshot, this is what will be
recalled.

Myth #3
"All abductees who speak on TV, at conferences, or sell books have not
suffered badly and just like attention."

No, they're just CIA assets.  The CIA wants them to write books and go on TV
so they can spread their alien propaganda.

  On the other end of this discussion are those experiencers who are
seen and assessed by the public--even the UFO community--as "coping
too well to have been genuine abductees."  Judged as attention-
seekers, book peddlers, or New Age "Crusaders," these individuals are
often only seen and known to the public in the latter stages of their
years of coping.  Coping is a process.  Many of these same abductees
struggled for years, privately, trying desperately to comprehend the
confusion, mixed feelings, and anguish of having their perception of
reality shattered forever.  Documenting their experiences and personal
growth in book form has become a therapeutic catharsis--a way of
organizing, releasing,. and gaining some form of control over their
feelings, while hopefully helping someone else out there with their
private disclosures.

    This handful of advocates, bravely speaking publicly to sincerely
promote the existence of this widespread mystery, are doing what they
believe is important.  For most it is a peak in their adjustment to a
new reality--to take great personal risk in order to speak from the
depths of their feelings in hopes of helping others.  To fairly assess
them one must know of their complete journey through fear, pain,
confusion, self-doubt, and terror--not just what you observe in a few
public moments at the finish.
