The relation of this messenger to the goddess obviously parallels that of dusk Bararitu,“evening watch” to evening star a manifestation of Ishtar. In the hymn to the Queen of Nippur the goddess punishes a sinner by putting Bararitu on on his case as her representative, the latter fulfils her assignment by deranging the sinner’s mind
Thus “She who comes at dusk” visualizes Ishtar's bad mood “wrath”and its verbal expression “hostile words”, and communicates them to mankind, as the embodiment of an atmospheric phenomenon and a member of Ishtar’s court, she must be found among the unidentified winged nude goddesses of the period. If so, she would closely resemble the spirit of the South Wind and the harpy-like figure of the Burney Relief.
Ishtar’s other high-profiled messenger Kilili,reveals a character trait of the being’s Akkadian counterpart,since together with Abbasusu (“She who spills through the window”), Abtagigi(“She who retires from the window”), and 15 other deities she constitutes Ishtar’s diplomatic service; eighteen in all, they are her “messengers.

A lot of what passes for alien abduction, particularly with regards to sexual intrusiveness, may simply be Ishtars diplomatic service doing their job in their own inimitable way, coming and going through the window by night, often in the guise of an owl, deranging minds in the process.

If you guys can hang through it with me I'll finish up the UFO story and more on form constants tomorrow. Thanks for reading, and thanks to TG for a place to get this stuff out.

I've always thought that the "light bending" case had the ring of truth. All light is a form of electromagnetic radiation and, as such, it would seem that a strong enough, or the right kind of, electromagnetic force could affect and bend it.
See 3:40
Smaller triangle shaped objects seemed to come out of the larger main disc and fly around independently, about five objects to a group. They came down the beam and then turned off. The light beam BENT toward the discs when they were not in the path of the beam.
Norwood , Ohio 1949 UFO Searchlight Incident
See 31:25
Meanwhile, as he was driving, he observed that his car headlight beams suddenly appeared to be pointing in a direction off to the right in the direction of the strange light display and also seemed to be, bending back on an axis with the object in the paddock. As he got closer, the angle of bending of his car's headlight beams became more acute.

The GUT
It's case histories like that, as well as the numerous "trace" cases, that force us to form some sort of hypothesis. If, as the one hypothesis goes, we are the sole creators of 'visions' that straddle both the mental and physical, then we have to give some attention to the theories of Albert Budden---maybe mixed with a little Jung.
Budden postulates (and admittedly offers some intriguing evidentiary items) that those we sometimes call "mediums" are actually "sensitives" to electromagnetic fields. He postulates that a such a sensitive, once 'entrained' by an EM field--either geomagnetic or electromagnetic-- then basically repeats the signal to those around them that are also being affected by the same field.
The subsequent altered-state then facilitates the entire perceived event, which stems forth from the archetypes and subconscious material in the primary's subconscious. Through the EM entrainment, other witnesses are semi-connected to the 'sensitive,' and while the storyline may be basically the same, the differences in the available subconscious material between the experiencers provides accounts that don't exactly match in all reported details. Like Betty and Barney Hill for example.
The GUT
Budden stops short of being able to explain the physical manifestations, however. It's here that we would have to add something Jungian or the supposed "thought-forms," or egregores, to explain physical traces
"A purely psychological explanation is ruled out... the discs show signs of intelligent guidance, by quasi-human pilots... the authorities in possession of important information should not hesitate to enlighten the public as soon and as completely as possible."
"Dr. Carl Jung on Unidentified Flying Objects," Flying Saucer Review, Vol. 1, No. 2, 1955.
"It remains an established fact, supported by numerous observations, that UFOs have not only been seen visually but have also been picked up on the radar screen and have left traces on the photographic plate."
"A Fresh Look at Flying Saucers," Time, August 4, 1967.

I just think these medicines and the accompanying shamanic wisdom should be more widely available to the world, and I think with the help of new documentaries such as From Neurons To Nirvana: The Great Medicines, we can keep hammering on the mainstream scientific and government dictatorship to open up to a new paradigm. Without it we are just spinning our wheels...

form constants
Great presentation by Ted Phillips, probably one of the most notable researchers when it comes to the UFO subject and physical trace evidence. He discusses his work with Dr J Allen Hynek, Dr Jaques Vallee, Peter Sturrock etc.. as well as commenting on UFO presentations given to the United Nations General Assembly and the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. He also makes some intriguing comments about new UFO research projects with the involvement of "one of the most recognized figures in motion pictures" as well as going into detail about individual UFO cases and his work with CUFOS.

At the very EXACT moment I was on my tablet reading your post, I was watching an old episode of UFO Files--recorded earler so probably the same show--that features Ted Phillips and that exact case. Cue the Twilght Zone theme music...

The point of all this is a question. My contact experience was real AND fake. Meaning that crap was really happening, but the entity I was in contact with wasn't PRESENT. Hard to explain, but I imagine that being could have possessed me potentially, if that had been its intention.
So...how is it that I, a non-religious type, am able to work up enough internal gumption and damn you to hell, to run it off while other folks need elaborate rituals with witnesses and whatnot, that often times still prove ineffectual?
This thing is weird beyond words.
