>> I assure you, very active. Very active, indeed. Evidently there’s more than 3,000,000 IIRC—IN THE USA ALONE—abductees—as a conservative solidly researched guesstimate.

First, this assumes a connection between fallen angels and aliens — which cannot be established.

Second, this assumes that those claiming alien abductions aren’t simply whackjobs, publicity-seekers, or confused (though well-intentioned) individuals — which also cannot be fully established.

Third — that number is ridiculous. It represents is fully 1% of the population of the U.S. People in the U.S. do not claim alien abduction at the rate of 1 in 100 people.

You have such a wonderful capacity and tendency to be

wholesale WRONG.

The research was done by a major polling organization with excellent expert input as to the design of that part of their standard questionnaire for a regular session of their polling.

The questions were not per se overtly about abductions. They were much more clever than that.

They compiled quite a list of questions which dealt with phenomenon that was more or less exclusive . . . certainly close to exclusive and some clearly exclusively typical of abductees from a vast wealth of file data regarding abductees.

They wanted to know what the percentages would be for such folks in the national population.

IIRC, the percentages of the national population most probably to have experienced abductions was 3-4%

MORE THAN 1%! MUCH MORE THAN 1!

The research is solid.

And it has been affirmed by some whistle blowing operatives from some of such black ops who have asserted that the
3-4% figures are far too LOW compared to the actual reality.

You said — “Third — that number is ridiculous. It represents is fully 1% of the population of the U.S. People in the U.S. do not claim alien abduction at the rate of 1 in 100 people.”

Well there is that post #71, that I have up above. Part of it references this...


Perhaps the most well-known researcher in this area is Dr. John E. Mack, who is professor of psychiatry at The Cambridge Hospital, Harvard Medical School. A contributor to over 150 articles in professional (peer-reviewed) journals and a former Pulitzer Prize winner, he certainly appears to have impressive credentials.

He has been involved in almost a hundred of these cases personally, and has shocked the professional community by declaring that he believes these beings may be real and that they appear to have an agenda to develop a hybrid race!12


It sounds like some professionals out there think something real is going on here...

That information also notes that by some surveys that actually — 3% — of the population does claim this... hmmm...
