If Alien Abductors Call, Just Say No
by Diane White, Globe Staff, 08/13/98 


How many times have you asked yourself: What would I do if space
aliens showed up at my door?

If they came for just a friendly close encounter, it would be
one thing. You could invite them in for cocktails and a chat.
It's the alien abduction thing you want to avoid. Everybody
knows what happens when you're abducted by aliens. They probe
your orifices. Life is difficult enough these days without some
alien sticking an instrument, or whatever, into your ear, or
wherever.

In her book "How to Defend Yourself Against Alien Abduction,"
UFO researcher Ann Druffel delivers what her title promises. The
paperback, just published by Three Rivers Press, costs $12, a
small price for step-by-step instruction in techniques that will
help you resist should aliens come calling.

Druffel, who has been researching UFOs since 1957, looked
through 250 case studies and found 70 "resisters," people who
just said "No!," in a manner of speaking, to alien abduction.
Actually, just saying "No!" is Resistance Technique No. 3, one
of nine described in the book. Druffel calls it Righteous Anger.
It requires assertiveness and a positive attitude on the part of
the resister. Righteous Anger, Druffel writes, "is best combined
with strong commands, either verbal or mental, such as 'Go
away!' or 'Leave me alone!' and so on."

I'm not sure I could pull off Righteous Anger if aliens were to
show up at my house. I can't get my cats off the kitchen counter
by saying "Go away!" so I doubt it would work on
extraterrestrials bent on probing my orifices. Nor do I think
I'll be using Resistance Technique No. 2, Physical Struggle. I
wouldn't want to risk hurting an alien. "The intent should never
be to kill or seriously injure the intruders," Druffel writes,
"but to inform them that their presence is violating the
witness's right to privacy."

The problem with this gambit is that aliens don't appear to
understand the concept of privacy. They're forever showing up
unannounced in people's bedrooms in the middle of the night, and
if that's not a violation of privacy I don't know what is.
Personally, I think they could use a short course in etiquette.
I bet Miss Manners could whip them into shape in a hurry.

Of the remaining seven Resistance Techniques my favorite is No.
9, Repellents. Although I'm not ruling out No. 4, Protective
Rage, or No. 7, Metaphysical Methods, or even No. 5, Support
From Family Members.

You can mix and match Druffel's techniques to suit yourself and
the occasion. For example, you could use a well-known Alien
Repellent like St. John's Wort along with a Metaphysical Method
of resistance, such as envisioning yourself enveloped in a
protective bright white light. And if that's not enough, you
could fly into a Protective Rage "using rejecting statements,
even well-chosen curses" against the intruders. Begone, alien
scum!

Druffel writes that most people in the alien abduction field,
abductees and researchers alike, don't believe Resistance
Techniques can be used successfully. Why? Druffel puts it down
to lack of practical experience: "... it seems almost certain
that most [abductees] have never even tried [resistance] with
the necessary motivation and confidence."

Clearly then, it's best to be prepared. Get a copy of 'How to
Defend Yourself Against Alien Abduction'. Practice the
Resistance Techniques on telemarketers and cold-call sales
people and anybody else who pops into your life uninvited. You
don't want to find yourself thinking, "Gee, I wish I'd bought
that book," as some big-eyed entity drags you off to the mother
ship.
