Having conduct 50 interviews hardly qualifies this woman as an abduction expert regardless of what school she attended.

While I believe with pre knowledge of aliens a repressed memory of molestation could lead to the invention of an artificial memory construct that makes a person believe they were abducted.

However this scenario would be extremely rare, could never account for the phenomena prior to media saturation about alien abductions nor possibly account for the extremely large number of abduction cases.

To believe this would indeed be the set of perceptions I can imagine a rather wonder bread Harvard Psych professor would imagine, I world In which extremely large numbers of people above what is reported are secretly molested despite credible decent families and and being in every other way responsible for their faculties. Of curse if they didn't attend the Ivy league it is highly likely they were molested...

In fact I'd say modern psychology particularly anyone indoctrinated with a Freudian based set of rules for understanding the human will tell you everything comes down to sex... I would say they are clueless.


The only possible explanation for any actual abduction thoughts that are created by the mind would be a natural release of Dmt from the Pineal gland.

I am however convinced that a portion of those I have spoke to have genuine Abduction claims... (and i've spoken to more than 50 in my time)

There are aspects that are unexplainable particularly vehicular cases in which either a DMT release or any other psychological hallucination would have resulted in a loss of life.

It is very easy to sit in an office and analyze people from an incredibly small sample in a region of the country that is NOT know for heavy incident of abduction and come up with a theory that happens to fit along with your academic research even though it's a completely unrelated arena. It does after all keep the funding coming.

By by and large I would say, I have known those who have had genuine abduction incidents and this woman is making an extremely large assumption from a very small survey that supports her unrelated theories.

.... Very plausible theory , ...... but what about all the abduction cases that DONT, ... occur in the UK.

I think all people who believe they were adbucted by aliens should go and discuss it with a good psychiatrist, because it is more likely that all of you may have been molested by one of your relatives or someone close to you.

you got it all wrong..backwards in fact..

see what would be more in line with your personality type.. would be to campaign for child molesters worldwide to begin to convince their defense attorneys to start using the defense of "Your Honor, it was aliens that did it to them... not my client"..

with this reasoning (just as sound as your reasoning) ..
you could see many of your cohorts, partners in crime, relieved of their wrongful imprisonment.

right back atcha..
you're just as morally off track as a holocaust denier.

IMO of course.

do you believe the holocaust happened because you were there?

Ever hear of Betty and Barney Hill? They must have been molested at the same time to both hallucinate their abduction at the same time, or all the other instances of multiple person abductions such as the case in rural Australia in the 80's or many others. Yup, they were touched on their naughty bits as kids and had simultaneous hallucinations to protect their psychies. Yup, case closed, nothing to see here.

I see you are making up stuff again to "debunk" a subject you don't believe in.
Tell me, are all the married, adult people that claim to be abducted by aliens, actually sexually molested?

Your theory doesn't make sense at all.

I give you a star for that post Point of No return..
There are many cases out here upon this world that just don't add up to being sexualy molested.

This theory doesn't make much sense to me either. And by looking at the OP record on here.. I don't see this person lasting to much longer on ATS.
Alot of anger, and misplaced humor.

We all like to have a laugh from time to time.. But there is a time and place for everything in this world.

And I would be willing to explain my personal exp. with this topic..
But I do not feel comfortable here in trying to explain something to someone that would end up turning this into a laugh and point session.

I have to wonder here.. When I first joined ATS, the mindset was a little different.. Here in just the past week, I have been somewhat shocked at many of the threads and posts that have taken something serious into a laughing matter or something that is simply shrugged off as mental issues or sexual molestation.( And I know theres alot of hoaxs and pure BS that goes on.. But its not easy to find that diamond in the ruff.. Takes alot of time and reading to find a good story that is worthy.) (you seem a little jaded and spent to much time reading and wasting time in threads that are not for you personally.)(And now you are lashing out for your own personal reasons.)

Granted Im not a stuffed shirt.. But there are joke and prank sections on BTS.. Also many other places to post this kind of read between the lines slaps in the face..
ATS IMO has been having some issues that can only be worked out by staff members, and weeding out members who wish to degrade an otherwise great place to keep an open mind on said subjects..

Yet OP.. your welcome to think what you may..
I just hope you can get some of your own issues worked out, and find that inner peace, and learn to lay off a bit.. Before you end up banned.. And comming back under new names just to start problems..
You wouldnt be the first, and you wont be the last.

Good luck and all.. Sorry to have wasted anyones time here with this post. I almost didnt post.. But had this need to speak my mind on this topic.. Ive had my own exp. And it had nothing to do with being sexually molested..
