Good post Mark.

I've argued for years that the contact/abduction phenomenon has
been with us as long as we have existed as humans, and probably
well before, and that how we interpret it is a function of the
zeitgeist of the time.  Kevin chooses to call it pop culture.
Same thing.

Until we realize that today's intertpretation as "alien abduction"
is most likely no closer to the truth than stories of fairies,
elves, demons, etc., it is unlikely we will make much progress in
getting at what is really going on.

There are two factors which need to be studied: the way the human
brain processes particular information, and the external experience
which causes this particular interpretation of information.  Not much
attention is being paid to either by current abduction researchers.
