The article is actually from 25 June 2004, but I saw it tonight in the ad section of MSN Messenger. It talks about how an abductee recalling the
events of the abduction causes a reaction similar or identical to someone recalling childhood abuse. It then goes on to say that people who claim to
have been abducted are more likely to "experience alterations in consciousness, to have a rich fantasy life, and to endorse unconventional
beliefs.", and that recalling the memory and having the reaction does not necessarily make the memory real.
I can't disagree that some abductions probably are works of the mind, but some abductees are left with physical evidence, such as scarring or other
marks or implants. Things like these aren't addressed in this article though.
Opinions?
