I've been going down a rabbit hole lately reading books by John Keel. The paranormal is a guilty pleasure of mine.
Anyway, since about the 1950's people from all over the world have claimed to have been abducted by aliens. The most common (but by no means only) type of being described by these 'abductees' are creatures we have come to know as 'the greys'. Indeed the image of the grey alien has become so iconic that I need not give any description.
Typically, those who are abducted by these beings describe being subjected to various medical procedures that usually focus on the extraction of sex cells. Many further claim to encounter human-alien hybrids (often children) on board with the regular aliens. Sometimes the abductees are given messages either warning of impending disaster set to afflict the Earth or alternatively, that the said abductee is special and has a role to play in bringing about a new era where mankind will attain to a higher level of consciousness. In any case, the abductees usually have little to no memory of the abduction. Usually they retain only fragments remembered in dreams or after having undergone hypnosis.
Accepting this data. Many alien abduction investigators believe that the aliens are engaged in a hybridization program with the ultimate goal of merging with us into a new species to occupy the Earth. And this is a reasonable conclusion if we take many of the abductee claims at face-value.
A minority of investigators however propose something all together different. That what the abductees think they remember is an illusion carefully crafted by these beings to mislead those who accept the abduction phenomenon. John Keel and Jacques Vallée are two investigators who come to mind. They posit what has become known as the 'interdimensional hypothesis'. According to the interdimensional hypothesis what presents itself to us as extraterrestrial is in fact an intelligence native to Earth.
This intelligence has interacted with mankind in various guises since the beginning. In a nutshell, the demons of yesterday are the aliens of today. Indeed I believe it was Jacques Vallée who noted that the so-called aliens behave in ways reminiscent of many classic descriptions of the demonic.
John Keel calls them 'ultraterrestrials'. These ultraterrestrials exist in a state that is imperceptible to humans. Nonetheless these beings can (either at will or under certain circumstances) manifest themselves to us. They can communicate with us and take on any form they wish. John Keel in particular believes that these ultraterrestrials are behind all paranormal phenomena. Alien abductions, demonic possessions, ghosts, spirit channelling, poltergeist activity. They have innumerable masks and they delight in deception. Whatever these things tell you it is almost certainly intended to mislead you. They are habitual liars.
Whether we accept John Keel's idea of ultraterrestrials specifically, or just the interdimensional hypothesis in general, these investigators come to this conclusion because the alien abduction phenomenon makes no sense under the prism of extraterrestrial visitation. Dr Karla Turner relates many accounts wherein the alien abductors treat their abductees in blatantly sadistic ways. Including sadistic sexual assaults on children. If these beings simply require DNA samples then their conduct in so many cases is nonsensical. If you only need a DNA sample then it makes no sense to rape a child and his grandmother (as told in Masquerade of Angels). It makes no sense to give abductees bogus prophesies that never eventuate nor does it make sense to prattle on about 'universal oneness' and 'intergalactic brotherhood'. Does it make sense that an intelligent extraterrestrial species would travel vast distances to Earth just to terrify and abuse random humans at 3AM in the morning?
John Keel states that the UFO investigators are so attached to the idea of extraterrestrial visitation that they fail to see the wider picture. These beings are manipulative and sadistic and deliberately cloak the whole phenomenon in contradiction and absurdity. In the Victorian times they posed as bearded airship pilots, today they pose as various forms of extraterrestrial.
The conclusion is that there is nothing useful to learn from this phenomenon. Whatever it is it is intended to deceive. And I agree with this view. That if there is anything to any of this it is the work of an invisible and deceptive intelligence that is clearly far from benevolent.
