Obviously we are being visited by robots, examining us exactly the same way we examine animal life right here on earth. The real question is, who is sending these vehicles to our planet, and what is their ultimate intention?
Hi Ronnie, I disagree and unless you only associate the whole UFO and aliens phenomena with nuts and bolts craft (for which there is overwhelming evidence that is not the case) whatever it is it definitely isn't the obvious. Whatever it is obviously has abilities way in advance of the need to send vehicles to our planet with robots.
However, the real question remains the same.

The Pascagoula area is a high abduction area, I spoke with Hickson on the phone a couple of times and was supposed to have had lunch with him but he became ill and passed. There was a lady working as a janitor in a nursing home in the area that had a saucier almost touch her hood at 3:00 a.m. in Gautier, she will no longer drive by herself at night. I know of at least a half dozen abductees in the area. My sister and I both saw hovering saucers, she in Moss Point and me in Gautier.

Nick Redfern and Vallee talked about this possibility, my confidence on their point is 0. They have been publishing this type of counter intelligence material for a long time. Evidence is, "someone on the know told me", only that these ppl have been inserting deception forever in the field to mud the waters, and we have been swallowing for no good reason.

Wow! You have remarkably low standards of evidence for what you consider proof.

Thank-you! More proof that multiple species have visited, and do visit Earth.
There's plenty of scientific evidence for UFOs, including the three navy videos released by the pentagon. It doesn't say what they are, but it shows they exist.

It's more than obvious the UFO phenomenon is real. And it is treated as very real or even as a threat by the armed forces and governments.
Some authors allege that millions of people have had abduction experiences, and scientists who have researched this don't think the people recalling abduction experiences are lying.

There is overwhelming evidence that there is a "nuts and bolts" aspect to it, it is not because there are many mental aspects that the technological aspect disappears. That is exactly this type of intellectual disjunction that you are proposing that has been clogging a proper understanding of what is going on.

Secondly whilst there is physical trace evidence to indicate a "nuts and bolts" aspect there is no evidence it is "spacecraft", please provide an example of the "overwhelming evidence" ?
A phenomena which exhibits fleetingly as a mass within our atmosphere does not meet my criteria of a "nuts and bolts" craft - that would be something that is proven to have been manufactured and continue to exist as a physical object, not simply disappear.
In terms of clogging our understanding I would argue the opposite, our quest to observe and measure the physical is getting in the way of gaining a true understanding. I believe the outcome (if there ever is one) of all the recent UAP disclosures / hearings / study groups etc will bear that out.

Where did I say the UFO phenomenon isn't real ?
I see many quotes about the armed services or govt's treating it seriously or as a threat but, aside from funding a few biased studies or the odd memo proclaiming it, where is the evidence that is actually the case ?
Real isn't even a question as there will always be UFO's and if anyone spent a modicum of time researching they would realise that if 5% of the reported phenomenon was true if it posed any kind of a threat there isn't much the armed services could do.
So what exactly have the govt's and armed services of this world done about it ?

However I've seen no scientific evidence people are actually abducted by aliens, even though many people claim this and apparently they really believe it.
Some authors allege that millions of people have had abduction experiences, and scientists who have researched this don't think the people recalling abduction experiences are lying.

But that can lead to false logic like, they say they were abducted, and they aren't lying, therefore they were abducted, but that's not how science works, especially these days where there are security cameras everywhere that could record at least some of these millions of abductions if they were actually taking place, but they never do. So what we end up researching scientifically is not the abductions, since there don't appear to be any, but rather, why do so many people think they were abducted and recall abduction experiences if they weren't abducted? One of the Harvard scientists who researched that subject talks about her research here.
Abducted: How People Come to Believe They Were Kidnapped by Aliens
She didn't find people were lying about their abduction experiences, but not lying doesn't necessarily mean it happened. Humans and their perceptions/misperceptions are complicated, and it's hard to understand either UFOs or the phenomena of abduction claims without understanding those subjects, which few people do.

I recently saw Calvin Parker get interviewed by that ex FBI guy, Ben Hansen (I believe is his name). From what I remember to this very day he lives in constant fear of these UFOs and E.T.s. I guess he's had many abductions over the years, which definitely points to Calvin getting some sort of alien implant "locator beacon" inserted in his body back in 77.
Again it sounds like you are conflating "being truthful" with the recalled experiences being real and not some kind of recollection from a hypnogogic or hypnopompic state. The fact that they weren't actually abducted doesn't mean the "abductees" were lying, they actually thought they were.

The Alien Abduction cases were investigated in the past by Professor John Mack one of the most famous psychiatrists from Harvard. He came to the conclusion these people were not lying but we're truthful about their experiences. He wrote a number of books on the subject.
OK maybe that was not nice to pretend but there should be a way to tell the difference between people who are really abducted and those who are not, and today lots of people have cams in their homes that can monitor and record what happens 24 hours a day, and would show if they are actually being abducted.
His professional reputation, however, was severely damaged. “He's not taken seriously by his colleagues anymore”, Arnold Relman, Emeritus Professor at Harvard Medical School, told the Los Angeles Times in 2001. Mack also faced fierce criticism from outside the academic community: journalist Donna Bassett posed as a so-called abductee, and made public details of a session during which Mack apparently believed her story of being kidnapped by aliens during the Cuban missile crisis, and witnessing a conference between Khrushchev and Kennedy held aboard a spaceship.
And this is why Mack lost all credibility. Mack of all people, should have known better, but he made that mistake anyway. Mack's colleagues had good things to say about him before he went off the rails.
“My criterion for including or crediting an observation by an abductee”, Mack wrote, “is simply whether what has been reported was felt to be real by the experiencer and was communicated sincerely and authentically to me.” This was a surprising mistake for a psychiatrist of Mack's experience and standing. As Khantzian said, “if you listened to him, his rigorous way of critiquing things…there was a true juxtaposition that seemed contradictory.”
Right, which is a completely separate issue from lying or telling the truth. They may not know what actually happened, they can only relate what experiences they recall, which in some cases might be a dream that seemed so real they thought it was real. Before the modern "alien abductions", back in the middle ages, it was not aliens but "demons" who were "abducting" people and maybe doing some anal probing or whatever.
Having had these experiences doesn't necessarily imply these people were abducted but that they believe they have been abducted.
Back in Europe in the Middle Ages, it was sex-crazed demons”. In other words, the basic experience of sleep paralysis remains the same—night time visitations by a malevolent force that interferes with one's body—but the creatures that populate both the experience and subsequent waking interpretations change.
