Much like little cherubs in medieval Europe, or gods speaking to them in ancient time.

Any info/theories on what the purpose of such nefarious activities would be? Mind-control for what? At this point I would think they are out of the experimentation phase and well into operation. More than likely there is more than one purpose, yes? ET-cult indoctrination? But that opens up another can of reticulan worms - namely why establish alien-based religions? To feed these low level astral beings?

So many great replies I signed onto today! I've owed you a response from page one that will relate to many of them so I'll give this a go.
My thinking still has three components (possibilities) as relates to this question of one of our top two enigmas as humankind:
1.) Some Jungianesque explanation where "they" come from something like the collective unconscious and sometimes become physical. Meaning "they" originate in our minds, but aren't as simple as "hallucination" and have deep sociological implications.
2.) A small number of truly anomalous events are extraterrestrial in origin.
3.) Some form of the inter-extra-ultra- dimensional hypotheses.
My own journey through these questions have re-ordered that list for me more than once over the years.
Where I'm at these days leans heavily towards #3 with a smidgen of #1, and has a lot to do with the clues we find in MK-ULTRA and what has been termed the Military-Occult Complex.
I go into more depth on that aspect in the first link in my sig. The intel boys--especially it's scientific arm--have been delving for many years now in areas that suggest they are on to SOMETHING but it ain't ET.
When pressed for my opinion: Yes, they've made--or at least some of them feel they have made--contact of some sort with non-human intelligences. I further think that this "intelligence" has--to paraphrase Vallee--bent them in absurd ways.
How conscious this collusion might be gets even harder to theorize, but the boys are playing in the ethers and I suggest we follow their gaze to see what they are looking at.
Are we being sold and set up for an ET religion? Quite possibly…but the "Gods" might be a little closer to home...

To me, the Villas Boas case, if genuine it was not a MILAB.
If I recollect correctly, Villas Boas said that the “woman” told him that “they” came from “the other side of the mountain”. ID people?

...Travis Walton saw a man in a blue uniform on the ship during his abduction, who he thought was there to help, but the man said nothing, turned and walked away. Of course, this very important detail was not included in the movie version.
In response to the above: How about both--MILAB & ID--in some weird freak-tech collusion? High-strangeness abounds when digging into these subjects.
IMO a staged ET invasion and subsequent weaponisation of satellites would be a greater threat to our freedoms than every other draconian measure put together.

I don't like attempts to explain the whole phenomena as 'psyops' 'mind control', the gov does this, the gov does that. I do not even believe in abductions but IF any of them happened, how will you explain the things and creatures people see in those alleged abductions? All is some drugs put into your mind to start seeing imaginary things and what not with your mind? Sorry I don't think so, the cases show much more to put all under 'The government did it'. Some things clearly show things that are way beyond that.
But I'd also like to get some dialogue going about a smaller percentage of cases that fall under the acronym MILABS (Military Abductions.)
Are MILABS really any crazier than contemplating alien abductions by Grays from deep space? I think both are worthy of study and consideration.

I hear you but I fear that ship sailed long ago sans the staged ET invasion...

Also there is too much cases that lean into presence of some other intelligence. The idea of 'all is a myth created by the government' is like an idea of those who have failed in patience and became disappointed that the aliens they believed in turned out to be fabrication, as such were initially believers.
