creates a distortion of the witness's reality; that it does sofor a purpose,
which is to project images or fabricated scenesdesigned to change our

support for a worldwide en terprise of sublim inal seduction!

The Case Against the Spacecraft 29
Now, this last figure does not begin to approximate the actualnumber ofevents,because weknow from many independent studies
Ihat only one case in ten ever gets reported. Then we should have
uor 3,, but 3, cases in our files!"ut this still isn#t the
whole story$ most landings occur in unpopulated areas, away from
dwellings.# %fthe &arth#s population were distributed evenly instead
of being concentrated in city areas, how many reports would we
have' Again, taking a conservative multiplying factor of ten leadsus tothe staggering conclusion that the ()*s, if they are spacecraft
engaged in ageneral survey of our planet, must have landed here no
f+.#werthan three million times in two decades!
This is one of the littlerecogni-ed facts of the ()* problem
Ihat any theory has yet to explain. The theory ofrandom visitation
does not explain it. &ither the ()*s select their witnesses, or they
are something entirely different from space vehicles. %n either case,t hei r appearances are staged!
TheStrange hysics of the ()*s
#%he following unexplained sightings have been extracted from
do-ens ofsimilar cases in my files.March /012,Santa Maria,Brazil. Aman observed twooccupants
of a footballshaped craft who spoke in a strange language. The
craft vanished silently and instantly.
June /04, Verona, Italy. )ollowing a ()* observation, a
woman was awakened by a feeling of intense cold and saw a being
with abald head near the house. She called other witnesses, and all
saw the apparition shrink and vanish on the spot 5like aT6 image
when the set is turned off.5
October /03, Whidbey Island, Washington State. A middle7
aged woman saw a strange craft with three figures inside. %t
tilted. partially sank into the ground, grew in si-e, and departed
with a flash.

Itook pictures with and without the crystal at several
places that resembled the description of the "node" given in the
r 1'0 1nscript. Igot only pictures of the blurred landscape with its
rwisred bushes and rock piles but ! came close to eperiencing
the feeling of anticipation and ecitement that gets hundreds
uf people to drive out into the hills and the desert in search of.##ientruths.
$ur epedition was not without its minor mystery. %riving
higher into the hills overlooking &arlock we found a mine
entrance sheltered from the great desert wind. There wediscussed
thepossible meaning of all this and the remote chance that the
!nessagemight come from some real alien source. The most likely
eplanation of course was that it simply came from our guide's1Inconscious( most automatic writing can be shown to have a
purely psychological eplanation. At that moment there was the
sharp sound of a minor eplosion behind me like the popping
ofa flash bulb being crushed. There were only two of us in the
entrance to the mine at that moment and nothing was found
that could eplain the noise As a mystery it did represent )uite
an anticlima after hours of climbing and driving and pickingup rocks and scrutini*ing the sky and the barren hillsides.
+ut Icould understand how the will to believe could turn the
smallest incident into asign leading toother signsand feeding the
imagination until it constructed vastspace,operas.

The Case Agai n st the Spacecraft 47
safelyto the normal world, and thought about the wayin which the
sighting had affected them.
The results of the experiments were shattering. Not only did
these "imaginary abductees" provide what Dr. awson calls "a
coherent, intriguing !# abduction narrative," but their stories
weresurprisingly similar to the most classic !# abduction cases,
li$e those o f %etty &ill or Charlie &ic$son. 'hen the hypnosis
transcripts were closely compared with those from "real" !#cases, the parallels became even more stri$ing(
Allof the imaginary sub)ects described many details which
are identical to ones found in the literature. These patterns
range from the obvious *"saucer+shaped" to rare and even
obscure though well+established details of high strangeness.-
The study does not demonstrate that !# abductions are
imaginary, or that hypnotic regression of witnesses is always
worthless. %ut it does show that many aspects of the experience
may originate in the witness-s mind.
These remar$able experiments cast serious doubt on the
validity ofthe hypnotic regression to which many over+enthusiastic
investigators have sub)ected !# witnesses."%ut the lie+detector tests tell the whole story," answer the
spacecraft believers. After all, what could be more scientific and
reliable than a "psychological stress evaluator" #f a polygraph
operated by trained personnel, certified by an accredited
professional organiation/
%efore accepting such statements as "evidence," ufologists
should get better information on the reliability of lie detectors, forexample, by reading the report by the Committee on 0overnment
#perations entitled "The !se of 1olygraphs and Similar Devices
by ederal Agencies." Testifying before Congress, experts from the
Department of2 usticeexplained why !.S. attorneys were instructed
"not to see$ the admission in evidence ofpolygraphic examinations
