Alien Abduction Phenomenon

 The Travis Walton case on November 5, 1975 was more alarming. Walton and six other American loggers encountered a UFO in the forest region of Arizona. Walton went in for a closer look at the hovering disc-shape craft and was struck down by a light-beam. Panic stricken, the others fled and reported Walton missing to the police. A massive man-hunt ensued by the police and found nothing. Six days later Walton returned suffering memory loss. A psychiatrist using hypnosis discovered that Walton recalls the aliens took him aboard their space craft. Small grey aliens tried to examined him and feeling threaten, Walton resisted, the film “Fire in the Sky”, made in 1993, illustrates Walton’s fear up to that point, but fails to tell the rest of his story about encountering human-like people also on the alien craft.

Dr. Carl Sagan, astronomer and author, consultant and adviser to NASA, his award-winning 1980 TV series “Cosmos” helped popularized planetary exploration, life in the cosmos, astrophysics, science education, and government regulation of science and the environment. Sagan was known as a skeptic of UFO sightings for lack of definitive proof. He had heard the Hills abduction case and seen the Betty Hill star map she drew from memory of Zeta Reticuli as being a “random chance” of star points.

 But he did propose a theory that the notion of ancient “demon abductions” reported throughout history was very similar to modern day alien abductions, walking through walls, sexual abuse, and medical experiments on hapless humans. Before his death in 1996, a colleague of Sagan asked him to rethink his skeptic views on UFO’s and close encounters. Sagan agreed, he researched and didn’t realize that the amount of data regarding UFO’s and alien abduction cases were not only prevalent today, but not entirely unpersuasive, that there might be some truth about UFO’s, and alien beings visiting our planet.
