I had something shoved at my nose. 8 00:00:32,480 --> 00:00:37,640 Witness their moments of anguish relived through hypnotic regression. 9 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:44,640 Coming towards us, I don't know what it's gonna do. It makes me feel like I'm flying apart. 10 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:49,640 I'm scared. I'm alive. 11 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:57,640 Without case studies, you'll hear the stories of people whose lives have been forever changed. 12 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,640 All of a sudden I feel like my whole body is on fire. 13 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,640 Every inch of my skin is burning and I realize I couldn't move. 14 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:10,640 The researcher who thinks he's discovered an alien agenda. 15 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:14,640 There's a very great interest on the part of the UFO occupants in human reproduction. 16 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,640 They do need our genes to propagate their own species. 17 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:23,640 The abductee who claims he's been forced to breathe with his captors. 18 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:30,640 I was with an alien. That wasn't totally at will. It's hard to explain. 19 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:35,640 The survivors who struggle to cope with the aftermath of their ordeals. 20 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:40,640 I know how crazy it sounds for a woman to say she's been implanted with an alien fetus. 21 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,640 But I'm sorry. It's the truth. 22 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,640 The experts who believe the shocking accounts. 23 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:52,640 These people have been traumatized by a very real and present experience in their lives. 24 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:57,640 And the skeptics who say it's all a figment of the imagination. 25 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:02,640 They can't tell the difference between whether it was a memory or real or myth. 26 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:09,640 And you'll see our final analysis of all the evidence in our UNEX report. 27 00:02:09,640 --> 00:02:16,640 As we uncover the facts about alien contacts on unexplained mysteries, 28 00:02:16,640 --> 00:02:19,640 Taken the Abduction Phenomenon. 29 00:02:20,640 --> 00:02:27,640 Over the past three decades, the number of reported alien abductions has skyrocketed. 30 00:02:28,640 --> 00:02:33,640 Men and women claim to have been taken by extraterrestrials 31 00:02:33,640 --> 00:02:38,640 and transported on beams of light into spacecraft. 32 00:02:39,640 --> 00:02:47,640 In order to unlock these incredible stories, experts have experimented with regressive hypnotherapy. 33 00:02:47,640 --> 00:02:53,640 Over and over again, we get these hidden consistencies in abduction reports which come out through hypnosis. 34 00:02:53,640 --> 00:02:57,640 These individuals report this experience as real. 35 00:02:57,640 --> 00:03:02,640 It is not dream, it is not fantasy, it is not delusion. 36 00:03:02,640 --> 00:03:08,640 Abductive accounts revealed under hypnosis are shocking in their consistency. 37 00:03:09,640 --> 00:03:14,640 And this is when I saw this spotlight then was doing this like a beam. 38 00:03:14,640 --> 00:03:16,640 Once the beam of light hit me, I was paralyzed. 39 00:03:16,640 --> 00:03:20,640 And at that moment, that's when I was on the craft. 40 00:03:20,640 --> 00:03:22,640 They were about three feet tall. 41 00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:23,640 Maybe this high. 42 00:03:23,640 --> 00:03:26,640 Their skin looked like it was made of marshmallow. 43 00:03:26,640 --> 00:03:28,640 White pale color. 44 00:03:28,640 --> 00:03:31,640 And they had real big eyes, large dark eyes. 45 00:03:32,640 --> 00:03:39,640 While most abductees speak of being taken by the often described gray alien depicted here, 46 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:44,640 others report insect-like characteristics in some of their captors. 47 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:48,640 There's one being in particular that I always recognize. 48 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:49,640 And he's not a gray. 49 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:54,640 He's taller, he's thinner, he's got a bigger head, he's got bigger eyes. 50 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,640 His limbs are very praying mantis-like. 51 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:06,640 There have even been sightings of extraterrestrials that seem to be alien human hybrids. 52 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:24,640 According to experts, one of the most telling signs of abduction is a gap of hours or days that cannot be accounted for. 53 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:34,640 This missing time aspect is very, very common in abduction experiences where the person cannot remember where he or she was. 54 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:39,640 One possible reason for the lost time, alien testing. 55 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:47,640 With uncanny similarity, nearly all report being subjected to insidious medical experiments. 56 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:51,640 The person will describe being on a table, which is generally metallic. 57 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,640 They are unable to move. 58 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,640 They describe operations which take place. 59 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:03,640 The next thing I remember, they have this thing in front of my eye. 60 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:08,640 Like a metal instrument that was kind of like shaped like an L. 61 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:13,640 And it stuck it, it went all the way back down to here though in my throat. 62 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:20,640 Abductties point to the scars they retain from their encounters, as proof of the experience. 63 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:26,640 Connie Smith thought she had merely dreamed of a violent UFO encounter. 64 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:35,640 I just woke up in the morning and I did have that groggy feeling. 65 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,640 Like I've been up all night, yet I got 8 hours sleep. 66 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:45,640 And I sat down on the couch and I looked down and I had a mark just above my knee. 67 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:51,640 And there was no pain to it. You could poke and poke at it and there was no pain. 68 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:57,640 And then I had a little scab in my belly button with a little pinhole puncture mark in the middle. 69 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:03,640 Her suspicions deepened when her daughter reported a similar experience. 70 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:08,640 She had the same huge bruise, which was not painful to her. 71 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:14,640 And I asked if I could see her belly button and I checked and she had the same thing as I did. 72 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:22,640 Jesse Long says he has been abducted repeatedly since his first close encounter at the age of 4. 73 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:32,640 After being subjected to a battery of experiments, he was returned home with a similar tell-tale scar. 74 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:41,640 My mother remembers me pointing out that I had a scar on my leg. She said it never bled. 75 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:46,640 Under the skin, Jesse detected a solid object. 76 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:52,640 It was in my leg for 34 years and I finally decided to have it removed. This is what they took out. 77 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:58,640 Tests on the object determined its composition to be silicone and trace metals. 78 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,640 Jesse believes it is a tracking device. 79 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:07,640 Brian Koski also says he is the victim of multiple abductions. 80 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:21,640 There was this big black triangle just moving well slow across the sky and kind of fall over. 81 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:26,640 I watched it and got to about here. 82 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:31,640 I stopped, heavy did a little bit, made a hissing sound. 83 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:35,640 Then kind of continued on to the north little slope and just kept watching it. 84 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:39,640 He says that he was permitted to move about the ship. 85 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:45,640 These little silver panels that they tend to control a ship with their mind. 86 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,640 This is the tail they seem to do their navigation from. 87 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,640 Are these accounts merely fantasies? 88 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:57,640 Or are they evidence of a staggering development which will alter the course of mankind? 89 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:08,640 Coming up on Unexplained Mysteries, do these twins share an experience so frightening that it proves they have been taken by aliens? 90 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:15,640 The next thing I remembered was they turned me over and then they were doing some type of anal exam. 91 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:19,640 And can their story pass the lie detector test? 92 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:26,640 There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that they are being absolutely honest with me. 93 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:33,640 And later are UFOs snatching humans as part of a chilling plan that could alter our future? 94 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:41,640 I felt as if somebody had taken my insides and just ripped me open inside and I could feel something pulling out of me. 95 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,640 Could alien crossbreeding be behind these close encounters? 96 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:52,640 I had a very vivid experience of having a fetus put into my body and removed. 97 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:56,640 Or are there other earthly explanations? 98 00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:02,640 It comes from fairy tales, old science fiction, film, a lot of sources. 99 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:07,640 And we'll give you our final analysis with our next report. 100 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:12,640 Stay tuned for more on Unexplained Mysteries. 101 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:22,640 Unexplained Mysteries Taken The Abduction Phenomena 102 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:30,640 One individual story about being taken may be hard to believe. 103 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,640 But what about mass abductions? 104 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:39,640 Groups of people all seized at once recalling the same chilling event. 105 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:49,640 It's coming towards us. I don't know what it's going to do. 106 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:54,640 It makes me feel like I'm flying apart. 107 00:09:54,640 --> 00:10:03,640 Maine's Allagash River is the site of an encounter that forever altered the lives of four men. 108 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:12,640 We're just a couple of guys camping, fishing, and we were excited about getting out of the city and being in the wilderness. 109 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:24,640 Art students Charlie Fulse, Chuck Rack, and twins Jim and Jack Weiner were looking for a break from the city when they set out for the backwoods of Maine. 110 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:31,640 The last thing on our minds was any UFOs or anything like that. We just wanted to go fishing. It was very, very dark. 111 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:36,640 So we decided to build a fire so we could find our way back to our campsite. 112 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:41,640 All four of us climbed in one canoe with our fishing equipment and headed out into the lake. 113 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:48,640 We were out there for approximately 15 or 20 minutes fishing with no luck. 114 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:58,640 And suddenly Chuck Rack said, hey guys, that's a heck of a case of swamp gas. 115 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:12,640 And we turned around and probably 150, maybe 200 yards away at the most, coming out of the trees was this huge ball of glowing, pulsating light. 116 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:23,640 I remember just being a very bright, round sphere of light that had kind of a roiling quality to it. It was yellow, white in nature. 117 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:29,640 The next thing I remembered was seeing the beam coming right towards the back of the canoe. 118 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,640 And at that point we started paddling very quickly towards the shore. 119 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:39,640 It kept just following us, coming closer and closer and closer. I was in a panic, to be honest with you. 120 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:46,640 A second later it was right on, almost on top of us, with this beam coming across the water right towards our canoe. 121 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:52,640 And I remember thinking, well, we're not going to outrun this thing. There's no way we're going to outrun this thing. 122 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,640 And then the next thing I remembered was standing on the beach. 123 00:11:55,640 --> 00:12:01,640 Back at their campsite, the roaring fire had burnt down two embers. 124 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:11,640 A lapse time we thought was 15 or 20 minutes, tops. And we couldn't understand why the fire had burnt down so soon. 125 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:19,640 None of the men could account for the missing time, nor were they ready to discuss what had just occurred. 126 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:27,640 The four of us were just left there standing on the beach in total silence. We didn't really even talk to each other. 127 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,640 I guess we were in shock. 128 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:38,640 Little mention was made of the incident for 12 years, until strange dreams began to torment the weeners. 129 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:44,640 And then I would wake up and I would be drenched in sweat and my heart would be beating really fast. 130 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:51,640 I wasn't having nightmares about being in some room or some area with the strange creatures around us. 131 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:56,640 I said, I can't believe you're telling me this because I've been having the same dream. 132 00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:04,640 A psychiatrist evaluated the twins and referred them to UFO researcher Dr. Ray Fowler. 133 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:11,640 Only after agreeing to hypnosis did the brothers begin to recall their shared experience. 134 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:23,640 Here are actual recordings of the session in which all four men from the expedition relive their experience. 135 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:34,640 A beam is coming towards us. I don't know what it's going to do. It makes me feel like I'm flying apart. 136 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:41,640 Each of their individual accounts depicted the same harrowing details. 137 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:51,640 I had no idea where I was. Then I realized that the three guys were sitting to my left on this bench naked. 138 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:58,640 All I knew was I was in a strange place laying naked paralyzed with this thing coming towards me. 139 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:04,640 I remember these creatures examining my brother with a type of wand. 140 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:11,640 The next thing I remembered was they turned me over and then they were doing some type of anal exam. 141 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:21,640 I remembered the pressure, the heat of my physical body being ripped to shreds like on a molecular level. 142 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:27,640 I mean, it's the only way I can verbalize it, but it is an extremely unpleasant feeling. It feels like death. 143 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:36,640 I think that the Wieners opened Pandora's box because now they have questions about reality that they never had before. 144 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,640 They have questions for which there are no answers. 145 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:47,640 To eliminate the possibility of a hoax, Ray Fowler arranged for a polygraph test to be administered. 146 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:57,640 After administering the examinations, there is absolutely, positively, no doubt in my mind that they are being absolutely honest with me 147 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:02,640 when they tell me that they were confronted by a phenomena in the allegation region. 148 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:15,640 One person might fool a polygraph examiner. You have four all passing the tests and the polygraph examiner being convinced that all four are telling the truth is very important. 149 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:21,640 I feel very strongly that what they described is a real experience. 150 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:28,640 But to these men, the trip up the allegash was only the start of an ongoing journey. 151 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:39,640 It's not over. This is an ongoing thing. We're basically, we're tagged. What can I do? Go hide. They're going to find you. 152 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:47,640 Next up, if extraterrestrials are abducting humans, what is their alien agenda? 153 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:52,640 I'm so scared. Why? 154 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:57,640 That is a woman crying out in emotional pain that her child is being taken from her. 155 00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:02,640 Are these events tied to the essence of human biology? 156 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:07,640 Sometimes we'd be abducted and there would be sexual situations. They would pair off. 157 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:13,640 They've lost their own reproductive capabilities so they are trying to find a new genetic stock with us. 158 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:17,640 And later, Hollywood's take on aliens. 159 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:24,640 Most encounters for good or evil had an enormous effect on what people expected aliens to look like. 160 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:33,640 We'll put it all in perspective in our exclusive ONX report. Coming up on Unexplained Mysteries. 161 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:42,640 Unexplained mysteries taken the abduction phenomenon. 162 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:52,640 For those who have been taken, the question is not if abductions occur. But why? 163 00:16:52,640 --> 00:17:03,640 Indianapolis, Indiana. Debbie Jordan and her mother, Janet White, noticed a glowing beam of light radiating from their backyard. 164 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:09,640 As I looked at the window, I seen a light that was about the size of a basketball. 165 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:14,640 A really strange light coming out of the pump house that's next to the swimming pool out back. 166 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:19,640 Debbie armed herself with a shotgun and ventured toward the light. 167 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:26,640 And Debbie went out in the back and I watched her out the back door and she came to the pump house and she opened the door. 168 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:32,640 All of a sudden, I feel like my whole body is on fire. Every inch of my skin is burning. 169 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:41,640 And I realized I couldn't move. And I also could hardly see. It was like I'd been attacked by a mob of tourists with cameras flashing me in the eyes. 170 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:45,640 Neither woman could immediately recall what happened next. 171 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:51,640 Later we figured out I was gone in like an hour and a half and I don't remember like 10 minutes. 172 00:17:51,640 --> 00:18:01,640 Debbie immediately came down with a mysterious disease and the family dog that lived in the backyard succumbed to what was suspected. 173 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:15,640 Radiation sickness. These clues and the neighbors identical account of the blinding light drew the attention of UFO researcher Bud Hopkins. 174 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:21,640 There was more evidence supporting this abduction than any and so far investigated. 175 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:26,640 Hopkins first studied the ground where the incident took place. 176 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:34,640 This is what happened to the nice rich, lomy black brown soil that the backyard in Indiana had. 177 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:38,640 It was turned into a gray and hard as a rock. 178 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:46,640 Hopkins persuaded Debbie to submit to hypnotherapy. 179 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,640 Something's not right. 180 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,640 I can't see Debbie. 181 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,640 My car was being squashed. 182 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:00,640 What? 183 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:01,640 The whole body? 184 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:02,640 Must've been. 185 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:12,640 Under hypnosis, an alarming discovery, Debbie Jordan had been pregnant at the time of the incident, but lost the baby. 186 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:29,640 I felt as if somebody had taken my insides and just ripped me open inside and I could feel something pulling out of me and this little tiny thing that looked like a mouse with no skin on it. 187 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:34,640 This is the first case that let us understand the alien's purpose. 188 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:46,640 Hopkins theory, that alien abduction phenomenon is related to a need to genetically manipulate the human species. 189 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:52,640 It was not wrong. It was not fair. 190 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,640 It was wrong. 191 00:19:55,640 --> 00:20:05,640 That is a woman crying out in pain, emotional pain that her child is being taken from her. 192 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:12,640 Through hypnosis, Debbie recalled witnessing a human-like child during her encounter. 193 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:22,640 She had tufts of white cotton hair sticking out of her head all over, really large eyes, but human blue. 194 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:32,640 When I thought, oh, I'd love to hug you, I asked if I could take her home with me and he told me no, she couldn't survive with me. 195 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:39,640 I assumed they were telling me that I was this child's mother. 196 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:48,640 Debbie says her abductions continued for years afterward, halting only after her hysterectomy. 197 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:54,640 But now, her legacy of abduction has been passed to her two children. 198 00:20:54,640 --> 00:21:01,640 I don't expect people to believe any of the stuff that me or any of my family members tell them. 199 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:07,640 Believe me, if I hadn't seen some of this stuff with my own eyes, there's no way I would have believed any of it. 200 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:13,640 Next, is an alien sexual agenda behind the abduction phenomenon? 201 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,640 It could be other people's wives or other people's husbands. 202 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:24,640 I've experienced certain things like that. I was with an alien that wasn't totally at will. It's hard to explain. 203 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:29,640 Here, one woman's account of carrying an alien baby. 204 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:36,640 I had a very vivid experience of having a fetus put into my body and removed. 205 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,640 It's ridiculously hard for me to talk about. 206 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:46,640 And later, Hollywood's controversial role in producing the abduction phenomenon. 207 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:53,640 Close encounters for good or evil had an enormous effect on what people expected aliens to look like. 208 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:57,640 And you'll see the ultimate roundup of the facts. 209 00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:02,640 Our Unexed Report, coming up on Unexplained Mysteries. 210 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:14,640 They are close encounters of the most intimate variety. 211 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:22,640 As reports of abductions continue to rise, so too does another alarming trend. 212 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:27,640 The aggressive sexual nature of many recent abductions. 213 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:32,640 Sogerties, New York. 214 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:43,640 James LaFontaine friends began seeking refuge from the city on regular weekend trips to the woodlands of the upstate region. 215 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:51,640 I first met James in 1987 and a few friends of us, we all went upstate to the trailer. 216 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:55,640 Just had a nice weekend and enjoyed ourselves and had fun. 217 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,640 Going up weekly almost became an addiction. 218 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:02,640 It was for enjoyment, but it was almost like we were being called back. 219 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:11,640 As with many abduction reports, the first sign of an unusual occurrence was the shared sense of lost time. 220 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:16,640 James LaFontaine contacted me because of certain fragmented memories. 221 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:20,640 He had been with a group of friends and they knew something had happened. 222 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,640 It was a time lapse. 223 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:31,640 Hopkins uncovered a common trait among the group, memories of alien contact in childhood. 224 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:39,640 Ever since I was a child I used to wake up and I used to see white light and shadowy figures moving around my bed and I would get scared. 225 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:48,640 When I was younger I remember like an alien looking through the window, being watched, feeling of being watched all the time. 226 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:54,640 Through hypnotherapy Hopkins yielded shared traumatic memories. 227 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:59,640 It turns out week by week we were all being abducted as a group. 228 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:07,640 It's like on a table, take out their eyes and get them up to the wall and just get out of here. 229 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:17,640 But the detail and scope of these repressed memories exposed an incident of group abduction beyond any on record. 230 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:28,640 I remember seeing these bright lights almost in every window and there's domes on top of the trailer and everything was blowing and it just become basically paralyzed. 231 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:34,640 During the abduction we would walk down this dark dark road in a trance state. 232 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:39,640 We'd be walking to the craft which was always in the same spot in this pit area. 233 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:49,640 The Sogertes group recalled forced medical tests and there seemed to be a disturbing focus to the experiments. 234 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:59,640 Something was being worked on with genitals. I would see James across the room and the same thing being done to him. I do know a sperm was removed. 235 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:09,640 To some experts the group's accounts expose an alien agenda of harvesting human genetic material. 236 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:16,640 There's a very great interest on the part of the UFO occupants in human reproduction, sperm, OVA, the DNA. 237 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:20,640 But it has also included an interest in human sexuality itself. 238 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:24,640 Sometimes we would be abducted and there would be sexual situations that would pair off. 239 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:30,640 It could be other people's wives or the people's husbands, different friends that they grew up with. 240 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:37,640 According to LaFonti the experimental pairings could also include alien participants. 241 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:46,640 I've experienced certain things like that. I was with an alien. That wasn't totally at will. It's hard to explain. 242 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:54,640 To further cope with their trauma, members of the group sought counseling with a clinical psychologist. 243 00:25:54,640 --> 00:26:04,640 Generally when I work with people using their imagination there's a personalized stamp that people put into their imagery because it's being generated from a part of themselves. 244 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:11,640 These abductees and their reports do not have this kind of personalized stamp and I think it makes it even more credible. 245 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:16,640 I lost plenty of jobs. I lost friends. I lost family. I lost a number of things. 246 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:25,640 And it got to the point where I would, you know, I was contemplating suicide in a sense because there was no escape. 247 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:34,640 Is the disturbing account of the Sogerties group a hint as to why aliens are seeking out humankind? 248 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:42,640 If so, many believe that Kim Carlsberg represents the next piece of the puzzle. 249 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:53,640 Kim Carlsberg was a successful professional photographer when an encounter experience changed the direction of her life. 250 00:26:53,640 --> 00:27:03,640 I came home, went to bed. I woke up and I was not in my bed any longer. I was standing in what I thought was an elevator. I was paralyzed. 251 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:11,640 Like so many prior abductee accounts, Kim recalls medical experiments happening around her. 252 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:22,640 And there were these little short off-white beans, naked guys with big black eyes doing things to these people on these tables. 253 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:27,640 And I didn't know if I was going to live through the night. I really thought that these people might be dead and I thought that I was going to be next. 254 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:38,640 So I started screaming and a taller alien that looked just like these guys walked up behind me and slapped me on the back of the neck and I started to pass out. 255 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:48,640 Next thing I knew, I woke up. I was in a smaller room by myself on a table and, you know, I'm completely disoriented. I don't know where I am. I don't know what's happened to me. 256 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:54,640 In a series of semi-lucid flashes, Kim recalls the alien testing. 257 00:27:54,640 --> 00:28:04,640 I had an experience where they put a metal rod to my tailbone and they take skin samples. I had something shoved at my nose. 258 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:13,640 I felt this drug feeling come over my body and I knew that I was going to be unconscious within a matter of seconds and there wasn't anything that I could do about it. 259 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:21,640 And I woke up back in my bed and at that point, you know, I was just, I thought that I was, had completely lost my mind. 260 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:25,640 I knew I wasn't hallucinating, but it was the only logical explanation. 261 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:38,640 And that encounter was not an isolated episode. She has had numerous subsequent abductions. One memory is particularly harrowing. 262 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:52,640 I had a very vivid experience of having a fetus put into my body and removed. It's ridiculously hard for me to talk about. 263 00:28:52,640 --> 00:29:03,640 Is Kim's experience corroborating evidence to others' accounts of baby harvesting? If so, why would an advanced race need human babies? 264 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:15,640 One theory holds that alien evolution may have stalled, requiring human DNA for future development. 265 00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:28,640 Some people hypothesize that their planet or where they come from is arid and barren and they've lost their own reproductive capability, so they are trying to find a new genetic stock with us. 266 00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:32,640 They do need our genes to propagate their own species. 267 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:44,640 It's a recurring thing that we hear from a lot of abductees. They're studying us, they're studying our sexuality, our emotions, and they're using us for some design goal as the center of this experiment. 268 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:48,640 Kim's story has been met with fierce skepticism. 269 00:29:48,640 --> 00:30:00,640 I know how crazy it sounds for a woman to say she's been implanted with an alien fetus. I'm an intelligent woman, I'm highly educated, I know how the world perceives it, but I'm sorry, it's the truth. 270 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:08,640 To Kim and all abductees, the need for more research into the abduction phenomenon is urgent. 271 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:18,640 Such study could either prove the reality of their claims or provide alternate answers for these troubling encounters. 272 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:27,640 An extraordinary phenomenon such as this demands an extraordinary investigation. It is irresponsible to dismiss it. 273 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:36,640 Next on Unexplained Mysteries. Are these alien encounters influenced by popular culture? 274 00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:43,640 The more people know about what aliens are expected to look like, the more they're likely to describe an alien as looking like that preconceived idea. 275 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:48,640 Or is Hollywood merely mirroring actual incidents? 276 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:54,640 I think what was unique about close encounters is it was science fiction and yet in a sense it wasn't. 277 00:30:54,640 --> 00:31:03,640 They can't tell the difference between whether it was a memory, a real event, or whether it was imagination. And this is the problem. 278 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:12,640 And finally, we'll analyze the evidence in our Unex report on Unexplained Mysteries. 279 00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:23,640 Unexplained Mysteries. Taken. The abduction phenomenon. 280 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:32,640 With reported sightings and alien encounters growing each year, so too have the skeptical inquiries from non-believers. 281 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:48,640 Notable among this group are a number of prominent psychologists who claim that the real root of the UFO phenomenon lies deep in the unconscious mind. 282 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:59,640 It's what we call waking dreams. When people start to fall asleep, many occasions they have a mixture, a peculiar mixture of reality and fantasy or dreams. 283 00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:09,640 And in this particular state of consciousness, which is an altered state, they see little aliens and they see spaceships and lights in the sky and so on. 284 00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:15,640 But others defend the technique for abductees in this fragile state. 285 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:26,640 They appear to have been overwhelmed by an episode outside their own control and making, which leaves them in a post-traumatic state. 286 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:31,640 It is this very condition that makes them vulnerable to suggestion. 287 00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:40,640 They can't tell the difference between whether it was a memory, a real event, or whether it was imagination. And this isn't the problem. 288 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:50,640 It's very interesting. Either there's something very special about this fantasy that causes what otherwise does not occur or it's not a fantasy. 289 00:32:50,640 --> 00:33:02,640 Others point out that abductions were scarcely reported before the science fiction boom of the mid-1950s carried visions of aliens into popular culture. 290 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:10,640 This is a composite of what they look like. 291 00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:19,640 Lager eyes, smaller nose, no lips, no protruding part of the ear, no hair, and a gray tone to the skin. 292 00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:29,640 A New Hampshire couple, Betty and Barney Hill, made news by becoming the first to claim that they had been abducted by aliens. 293 00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:39,640 UFO experts point to the Hill Abduction as a watershed event in alien evolution. 294 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:46,640 But to author James O'Rourke, the case is notable for more earthly reasons. 295 00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:54,640 A lot of Betty's memories are directly traceable back to a movie called Invaders from Mars. 296 00:33:54,640 --> 00:34:01,640 Many of the themes, many of the imageries from that film appear in almost recognizable form in Betty's story. 297 00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:10,640 In the account there was kidnapping, being taken on board a flying saucer, there were needles being inserted into people's brains or other parts of their bodies. 298 00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:15,640 Barney Hill's recollections, focused on one major feature. 299 00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:22,640 The unique feature here is he's wrapped around eyes, the eyeballs that move off to the forehead, off to the side of the head. 300 00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:30,640 It was very original and yet, less than two weeks after this face first appeared on television, Barney Hill under hypnosis suddenly remembers. 301 00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:37,640 Suddenly remembered that his aliens had eyes like that, had eyes that wrapped around. 302 00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:46,640 Was it cause and effect? Did he see a shell? Was his memory polluted by this Hollywood version? Can't prove it. 303 00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:49,640 But the sequence is highly suggestive. 304 00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:57,640 By the early 1970s, Hollywood seemed to settle on an accepted standard for what an alien looked like. 305 00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:05,640 According to skeptics, this design trend was again echoed in the description by alleged abductees. 306 00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:10,640 The thing you'll never forget when you look into the face of these things is the eyes. 307 00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:13,640 Very large, intimidating black eyes. 308 00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:18,640 Very small opening for a mouth, no ears. 309 00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:23,640 Tremendous head, very thin body, lower arms. 310 00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:30,640 Yet, science fiction archivist Ron Miller traces images back much further. 311 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:37,640 It comes from fairy tales, science fiction, film, a lot of sources. 312 00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:41,640 They go back decades, even a century or more. 313 00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:48,640 From the earliest sort of realistic depictions of an alien might have from the book that was published in 1884. 314 00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:55,640 90 years later, a Steven Spielberg film about alien contact cemented the image. 315 00:35:55,640 --> 00:36:03,640 Did close encounters of the third kind also plant suggestions in the minds of future abductees? 316 00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:10,640 Close encounters, for good or evil, had an enormous effect on what people expected aliens to look like. 317 00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:21,640 And if anything really focused all these disparate reds into one sort of standard alien, it was close encounters. 318 00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:29,640 But Joe Elvis, the production designer for close encounters, claims that logic is reversed. 319 00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:35,640 I think what was unique about close encounters is that it was science fiction and yet in the sense it wasn't 320 00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:44,640 because we weren't manufacturing something that was convenient, we took these things from all the encounters that we could record 321 00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:50,640 and sort of put it into the funnel and it came out with these kind of images. 322 00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:57,640 Kelly Frese, a celebrated science fiction illustrator, is disappointed by the dominance of the gray, 323 00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:02,640 both in pop culture and in the reports of abductees. 324 00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:09,640 I hate to think that the universe is so dull that that's the best it can come up with. 325 00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:18,640 Are we supposed to assume that only one race managed to accomplish spaceflight and come to the Earth? 326 00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:23,640 Or are there more races out there? If so, what do the other races look like? 327 00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:32,640 When we come back, the UNEX report examines the facts and addresses the mysteries. 328 00:37:32,640 --> 00:37:39,640 What can we learn from all of these abductees, reporting nearly identical encounters? 329 00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:43,640 And do aliens really have an agenda for mankind? 330 00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:50,640 Or is extraterrestrial contact the product of our collective imagination? 331 00:37:53,640 --> 00:38:00,640 That's the UNEX report. Next on Unexplained Mysteries. 332 00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:06,640 Unexplained Mysteries, taken the abduction phenomenon. 333 00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:10,640 Now, our UNEX report. 334 00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:18,640 The past 40 years have seen a surge in reports of man being taken by aliens. 335 00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:27,640 Experts point to a number of signs as evidence of abduction, such as missing time. 336 00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:37,640 This missing time aspect is very, very common in abduction experiences, where the person cannot remember where he or she was. 337 00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:44,640 Other indications include strange medical symptoms and even implants. 338 00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:48,640 It was in my leg for 34 years and I finally decided to have it removed. 339 00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:50,640 And this is what they took out. 340 00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:58,640 The use of hypnosis is increasingly being used to access hidden memories of alien encounters. 341 00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:09,640 There were these little short off-white beams, naked guys with big black eyes, doing things to these people on these tables. 342 00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:15,640 I felt as if somebody had taken my insides and just ripped me open inside. 343 00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:22,640 Over and over again, we get these hidden consistencies in abduction reports which come out through hypnosis. 344 00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:28,640 And there are striking similarities in the descriptions of the aliens. 345 00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:31,640 Very large, intimidating black eyes. 346 00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:36,640 Very small opening for a mouth, no ears. 347 00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:41,640 Tremendous head, very thin body, low arms. 348 00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:50,640 Many encounters now seem to reveal that an alien breeding agenda may be behind many abductions. 349 00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:54,640 There's a very great interest on the part of the UFO occupants in human reproduction. 350 00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:59,640 They do need our genes to propagate their own species. 351 00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:09,640 I had a very vivid experience of having a fetus put into my body and removed. 352 00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:14,640 Among the most compelling cases are mass abductions. 353 00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:19,640 Subjects are taken together and recall the same experience. 354 00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:24,640 During the abduction, we would walk down this dark, dark road in a trance state. 355 00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:30,640 Remember these creatures examining my brother with a type of wand. 356 00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:35,640 Polygraph machines have further verified their accounts. 357 00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:41,640 There's absolutely, positively no doubt in my mind that they are being absolutely honest with me. 358 00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:49,640 But skeptics maintain that Hollywood is the real source of all alien sightings. 359 00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:53,640 More people know about what aliens are expected to look like, 360 00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:57,640 the more they're likely to describe an alien as looking like that preconceived idea. 361 00:40:57,640 --> 00:40:59,640 One thing is certain. 362 00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:04,640 The complex reality of abduction will continue to spur debate, 363 00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:08,640 as long as so many questions remain unanswered. 364 00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:11,640 It is irresponsible to dismiss it. 365 00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:16,640 An extraordinary phenomenon such as this demands an extraordinary investigation. 366 00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:24,640 Until that time, the alien abduction phenomenon will remain an unexplained mystery.
