I am not saying that the abduction phenomenon does not exist, nor am I saying that it is 100% subjective. I'm simply saying that to insist that the beings involved in the phenomenon are "aliens" from space is a very simplistic interpretation. These things have been abducting, contacting, and interacting with humans since before written history, and have presented themselves to us in forms which we could accept into the mythology of the times. Today space aliens fit our mythology, so that's how we see them. In the past we saw them as trolls, elves, fairies, leprechauns, demons, sprites, gods, etc. etc. etc. I just don't think we have any compelling reason to accept that we are dealing with space aliens, any more than that we are dealing with the king of elfland. We should admit that we don't know what they are or where/when they come from. And we must be willing to admit that the experiences have subjective as well as objective aspects. The one thing which comes down to us from the past and from our accumulated folklore is a simple and important message: They can not be trusted. Whatever they say they are, wherever they say they are from, why they say they are here; these are things that it is very dangerous to take their word for. Bob
