The Abduction Phenomenon
The Abduction Phenomenon: Part II
I believe that if there are abductions by extraterrestrials that the number is very low and does not account for much of the missing person count.
A huge number of abductions should create at least a sizable group of witnesses. I realize many could in remote areas but there are those who claim contact in less than remote circumstances. Also I would think there would be a group of 'almost abducted' persons.
People tend to murder other people, and some are intelligent enough to hide the best evidence - body.
But, there would propably be a sizable number of missing people who are missing for other reasons.

A witness is only as reliable as the interpretation of an event.
As we really dont know for fact, how an abduction happens we can't say really, as much as we really can't say that they are happening.
Good point but then there are numerous people who claim abduction and give a description of at least part of the event. That is part of what my speculation was based upon.
In a nutshell...
The Bible contains relevant information about what many believe to be a recent phenomenon, that neither most modern churches, nor most modern ufologists, are well informed about.
Of those that are, many are simply not comfortable with teaching on the subject. Others intentionally repress the information they do have - often for financial gain, to avoid controversy, or to advance an agenda.
e Bible teaches that certain angelic beings routinely abducted human women during the days of Noah, both before the great flood "…and also afterward…" (Genesis 6:1-4).
They are referred to in ancient Jewish texts (Genesis, Job, Daniel, Enoch, Jasher, Jubilees) as "sons of God" and as "Watchers" – non-human parents of the hybrid Nephilim (giants).
During this time period, Eve’s seed
was polluted by Satan’s seed
(Gen 3:15).
The offspring - "…heroes of old, mighty men of renown" (Gen 6:4) - form the basis for much world mythology.
Jesus prophesied "as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be..." at His return (Matthew 24:37).
They are not demons however, in the classic Christian understanding
of the term. Demons do not have bodies, but seek to inhabit others.
These angelic "hosts of heaven" (Gen 2:1, Ephesians 6:12) are much more powerful, more dangerous entities. They violate the laws of man through kidnapping, sexual assault and mental torture, and the laws of God as well, through fornication with humans (2 Peter 2:4,5; Jude 6).
Those statistics are much higher than I would have ever thought. Good find.

If abductions are taking place then we have already lost!!
My reasoning is that they can do it at will; they can control humans and implant memory.

How long have they been here? Fifty, one hundred, one thousand years? How much more time will they need?
Now if this is true and with their genetic modification of human DNA and memory implants they have an army of slaves already trained to activate when they are ready to act.
They would already have their minions in place at high levels of government and military gradually taking control and keeping this secret from the wider population of earth as such they are in total control and have already won.
Now if someone can tell me how to fight back and/or detect them in our skies or know how to stop them abducting and mind control so a resistance movement can be effective in our liberation that’s what the focus should be.
The religious argument as a defence doesn’t work for me.
But each to their own devices.

I don't believe the abduction phenomenon is objectively real.
As a social force, the abduction delusion reminds me of the medieval witchcraft craze.
Millions of people claiming to be oppressed by supernatural beings, and the authorities are powerless to stop it. An idea like that gives people a scapegoat for their fears and unhappiness, and cannot be disproven any more than ghosts can be disproven.
For me, there are tell-tale signs that alien abductions are not precipitated by some "advanced aliens."
1. The "aliens" don't have advanced technology. They insist on taking blood and tissue samples, while modern scientists can swab DNA painlessly from the inside of your cheek. Their implants are painful, and installed without anaesthesia, while we can put a cihp in a person in far less obtrusive ways.
2. The craft are described by Bob Lazar and others as having "anti gravity" drives. antigravity could ONLY work in the gravity well of a planet. In other words, you cannot cross between the stars, where there is no gravity to push against.
3. According to abduction lore, it has been going on for 60 years now, with the same experiments repeated over and over ad nauseum. And the aliens have made no scientific improvements to their technology in that time period, and haven't gained any better understanding of humanity.
4. The aliens make the same types of assumptions that we humans routinely make. For instance, the peak time period for UFO activity reported by John Keel in the Mothman prophecies, is Wednesday night at 10 pm. That is not merely an artifact of human observation, but is in the data itself. So, how do the aliens have a 7 day week?
5. If the aliens plan a takeover, they could have finished it by now. If they want to study us, they are completely incompetent at keeping their existence a secret.
However, it bears mentioning that it seems this enigma wants to hide itself behind masks. So, the question is why, and what is it doing. Unfortunately, UFOlogy is so set in it's small box that it's either ETs or time travelers, or some other SCIFI notion, that it scoffs and excludes much more deep and complex questions. I think this is by-in-large due to everyone's desire for a "Reader's Digest" version.
If I know nothing about this enigma, one thing I do know for sure, there's no short and easy answer, and the enigma is a lot more complex then it's given credit for. As long as it's relinquished to spacemen and alien breeding programs, we're likely never to get at any real answers (or more questions).
