QUESTION:
I witnessed a car accident a few months ago and saw a car speed by me. Thinking that the car caused the accident, I followed it and tried to memorize the license number. Now, I'm accused of causing the accident and I would like to try to get that license number of the car passing on my left. Is it possible to extract the license number from memory by hypnosis?
ANSWER:
Yes, if you actually saw the license plate, you should be able to get the numbers back. I’ve done this with two people before who were involved as witnesses in crimes. In one case it was trying to recover the full license plate number. The client recalled not only the number, but the color and make of the car. In the other, it was witnessing a murder scene. The hypnosis allowed the client to recall many details helpful to the police
they are non physical beings, so they can displace themselves over a large distance. Imagine a swarm of spheres. Millions of these swarms of spheres making up 1 single entity, one alien
I don't think you can study this to any reasonable degree until we can establish whether people really disappear at night when they say they are abducted.

The study, by Joseph Green of Ohio State University, questioned 96 college students about the day, month and year of certain historical events. Roughly half the students answered the questions under hypnosis, while the other half performed a muscle relaxation exercise before the questions.
Once finished with the questions, the students rated how confident they were in their answers. Their answers were checked, and all the subjects were told they had at least one wrong answer. They were then given a chance to change their answers, and rank how confident they were in the revised version.
Accuracy Unchanged
The study found there was no difference in the accuracy of the hypnotized vs. the relaxation group. Nor were there differences in the groups' confidence levels, but at the same time the hypnotized group changed fewer responses when given the chance.
"While hypnosis does not enhance the reliability of memory, there is some evidence that hypnosis leads to increased confidence in memories," said Green.
So if you suggest to someone to remember something where there is no memory to begin with, what do you think might happen?
I would hope an experienced hypnotist would try asking the same questions on nights where nothing happened to start with and slowly work towards the night where something supposedly did. Im sure there are some that would just dive right into the night in question, rookie imo...

Why do abductions have to be physical?
Because if they weren't we couldn't test them. Simple as that.
Abduction definition:
The action or an instance of forcibly taking someone away against their will.
Personally I think the whole hypnosis idea is a little on the quacky side anyway

Its definately not as fool proof as I thought, though it does appear it can be helpful at times . Not sure quacky is the word I would use, but I certainly wouldnt let anyone do it to me unless there was a freaking good reason = )

Many people have concious memories of the abductions, or at least parts of these events. These people leave far away of eachother, and never meet. In fact, many were surprised of finding later that many other folks had the same experiences.
And again, you have cases of abductees' children describing the visitors that will come at night, and the drawings and recollections will match perfectly the creatures described by the parents.
In the meantime, while we discuss AGAIN such subjects, we have already human looking hybrid creatures living among us. But, it's cool, it's not we should be worried about goal-focused 'people' that can control your mind and make you do whatever they want...
'No proof! no alien tissue! no alien craft materials!' Go on, it's still a 'constructive' discussion.
