Don't mean to diminish your experience but your experience takes me back to several comments I've made about people in the UFO community and their deep (sometimes all consuming) desire to be a direct part of the UFO phenomenon by either adopting some of the experiences they've read about thousands of times for themselves or actually scarring their own bodies to convince themselves.
I'm not saying you are either of those or that you're lying but I sometimes wonder if some people dwell on these topics so much that they subconciously create these types of circumstances in order to feel like they're "a part" or they "belong" or they create these experiences as elaborate lies in order to justify some of their wild beliefs.
As I said...I'm not attacking you or anything but I have noticed many people who claim they have experienced something that fits into the "alien abduction" possibility category normally neglect to mention they rushed to a doctor to make sure everything was running alright in the old dome casing. Instead they run to support groups or messageboards to talk about their experience and their strange "feelings"...
Could all of this be a manifestation of your subconcious desires? Have you ruled out all medical possibilities?

now not pointing any fingers at you but, you do have a rep on this forum for being overly paranoid, almost unstable at times...for instance, accusing various people of working for the government.

I am probably "overly paranoid" at times, but wouldn't anyone be slightly paranoid if there were unexplained events such as these in their lives?
As discerning believers in the UFO community I feel the types of questions I asked should be asked more often. In the example I used before about the people receiving stigmata I still sometimes wonder..."what if Jesus was just a man? Why would they be getting the wounds of Jesus when he isn't deity?"

Hi watcherof the skies,
Preest has a point with his medical suggestions. Could you have a mild form of epilepsy? It could cause you to be 'vacant' for a length of time. :puz
