Subject: Re: How To Film An Abduction



List Members and Booby-Trappers;

When I originally posted this lo-tech. alien trap idea, the
intent was to explore ways to make a fool-proof,
get-some-hard-evidence tool that would take into account all the
abilities and effects reported by experiencers during their
encounters. The lo-tech was meant to avoid reliance on a video
camera or other electrical device because reportedly, they just
won't work.

Larry Hatch picked right up on this ( of course ) and actually
utilizes the EM effects to sound the alarm; inspiring. The only
problem is that once you have stuck them to the floor or have
been alerted to their presence, what's step two? Take a picture
and run like hell? This is why I was willing to be satisfied
with a short roll of fuzzy film recording the experience.

Having the trap set by a total outsider, completely unknown to
the experiencer, is the key (IMHO). If there is some kind of
telepathic link involved in the experience, cover would be blown
upon initial contact. How do you keep yourself from thinking "
oh goody, now I've got them "? Hypnosis, maybe. If you don't
know the trap is set or even know of the possibility of one, you
won't be spilling the beans, mentally or otherwise.

Obviously, such a plan would be nearly impossible to accomplish
within the law. Some pioneering individual would have to take a
chance and stake out the abductee of his or her choosing and
tell noone. Get in. Set the trap. Get out. Minimize your chances
of gunshot wounds by picking a Canadian subject, just in case
things go wrong. If you make it this far, you'll be halfway
there. You just have to get in and grab your film, strip-chart
or whatever at a later date and get out again. You won't have
any contact at all with the experiencer so you'll have to guess
at the right time to collect the evidence. A wind-up film camera
would be great for this because you could probably leave it
there for a year and not have to worry about batteries going
dead before the visitors arrive, another good reason to avoid
electronics.

Now, here comes the hard ($$$) part...

If you do come away with anything, don't send it to the local
photo-mat for processing (duh). Hide it. Sit on it until you can
make arrangements to be there for the developing and copying
with an authority on the subject matter. There are many good
choices on this list for such a person, Bruce Macabbee
immediately comes to my mind. Ray Santilli does not. A group of
experts would probably be a better idea as everyone would get to
see things first hand as it happens.

Make sure everyone directly involved in the process gets an
equal share of any gains that may be made ( hey, ten bucks is
ten bucks! :) ) on the sole condition that they keep quiet until
the time is right, whenever that happens to be. I'm sure the
abductee would have something to say on this but I'm also sure
that they would be so relieved to have something to support the
reality of what they are experiencing that they will commend
your efforts and you probably won't be doing any jail time. On
the other hand, if you come away with nothing on film, or worse,
an hour of sleepwalking, you may decide not to mention your
little B&E adventure and try again on someone else.

I'd like to try all this myself but my cover will be blown the
minute this message hits the list.

Darn.

Postscript:

As far as I know, the lovely Jeri Ryan is not, does not claim to
be, an abductee or recipient of a close encounter. Cross
Potential Subject #1 from your list now gentlemen. Ladies, I
believe the same is true for Brad Pitt. Sorry.

If for some reason the device misfires and catches some action
other than the alien type, for pete's sake, destroy it, don't
post it on the internet, ok?  ;)
