yeah, maybe, but instead of making up your own psychological explanations why not become familiar with existing ones first? Tachypsychia is the term for this distortion of perception and it is a documented phenomenon.

There is really nothing in the psychological field as a discipline that qualifies it as something that could be applied to every UFO case study. You want to bring in a shrink and have a look at Barney Hill well fine. But any number of air force pilots over the years......psychology is going to be about useless in those cases.
Psychology thinks it can show up on any occasion. It doesn't really want to lend so much anymore as it has come to love its position as interpreter of all things.
I think there is a complete lack of understanding of what is going on physically, emotionally and perceptually with the majority of reports. For instance, more often then not, intense fear is commonly reported along with sightings. What kind of perceptual distortions are associated with rushes of adrenaline?edit on 24-7-2013 by ZetaRediculian because: (no reason given)
Maybe its not a distortion but part of an ever operating but not often used safety system that's part of the psyche. It cant simply be the human encountering the unknown. Not taking away the strength of that fear, but in the case of animals we cant say that animals have been preconditioned. Maybe a better case could be made along these line for a lack of preconditioning. Maybe it goes way beyond that to a preprogramed, with knowledge response.
It is common for an individual experiencing tachypsychia to have serious misinterpretations of their surroundings during the events, through a combination of their altered perception of time, as well as transient partial color blindness and tunnel vision

Now explain how Air Force pilots are immune to this or how their recall of events are superior to Betty Hill's.edit on 27-7-2013 by ZetaRediculian because: (no reason given)
You sound like your assuming that everyone having a sighting is also having tachypsychia. What sort of nonsense is this?
You would first have to establish tachypsychia exists in the witness. This is the scientific method.
And yea an air force pilot would be far less susceptible to something like tachypsychia
if the criteria is color blindness, tunnel vision ect and you would still have to establish that the witness had experienced any of these conditions to begin with.

Well for one thing you cant be color blind and even get into the air force academy.
no one said anything about not being able to function. I have experienced this and able to function quite well but I still had perceptual distortions.
And certainly, air force pilots are very accustomed to high amounts of adrenaline in there systems and still function without any of these symptoms.
Anyone showing these condition during training, which would produced them, would be dropped out of the program early on. I would go so far as to say that a fighter pilot would be the least likely of all witnesses to suffer from this condition.
It is possible to manage the "adrenaline dump" still occurring after the event, and it is common for soldiers and martial artists to use tachypsychia in order to increase their performance during stressful situations.

OK back up. Who is color blind?
yes, I READ it. It did not say anyone was color blind.

You posted that from a source back a few.
