But this... this is too much and doesn't fit in the reality...

The lack of interest isn't a valid argument when trying to reach the truth behind the claims.
Are you saying that the truth cannot be known about the abduction phenomenon without believing in aliens or including them in the story.
Are you saying that aliens must be a factor in understanding anything to do with the abduction phenomenon?
Thanks in advance.

The "gene-spliced" grey beings were broached in an older, '25% b.s.' post where he suggested they were constructs belonging to the ancient humans who are/were trying to reconstruct the old genetic bloodlines lost to some catastrophe... presumably the same cataclysm responsible for our (alleged) several thousand year dark age.

Sure, you have a good point.
But you don't need aliens to explain the abduction phenomenon.
My point is that just like the "alien abduction" trope, #SNIPPED# has leveraged a greatly misunderstood facet of human life and the human brain in order to add veracity to his story.
It's not aliens, and it's not night-time raids by the RK crew.

It's all easily relatable to temporal-lobe lability, simple partial seizure of the temporal-lobes, related sleep-sequelae especially what is known as "sleep paralysis", somnambulance, co-morbity of family members that know when the "researchers" leave they still have to live with the person having the temporal-lobe issues, dishonesty, ignorance and or flat-out lying.
And in the end, it just produces a bunch of stories, the ones that folks like get repeated.
It also produces a subset of these folks that think they are special because they have these experiences.
Yes, it happens in broad daylight, best example: St. Paul on the road to Tarsus. He hit the deck like a sack of potatos.
That's the short version.

Yes Jack,
That's exactly what I am saying.
That the experience that people are having all over is the same, and it's the brain, doing what it is supposed to be doing. If it were'nt it wouldn't be happening with such regularity and dependability amongst so many people spread all over the globe.
The "greys" go back to H.G. Wells; this sleep and temporal-lobe related phenomenon, however, has hundreds of years of recorded history.
It's not about whatver is "hallucinated" as you put it, it is about the fact that human beings are all capable of being stimulated in this way, have been experiencing it, don't understand it, and so they make up the best story that explains it. Or they borrow one.
That's why notables in this research community have pointed out how the phenomenon has morphed from "faeries" to "demons" to "grey aliens".
The song remains the same, the dancers only change as it amuses us. Why the hell would we focus on the dancers?
I've answered your question and you would have to provide case for case examples of what you are suggesting above, and I'm not interested in spending that much time interacting with you.

I'm not really interested in arguing at present time and in not real interested in aliens currently. Giant nuclear powered triangles is all I am interested in right now. Maybe another time?
Bybyots seems to be doing just fine anyway.
