That’s not how I read it. Bryan certainly allowed for mental illness as an explanation. I met him at a book signing and he made it clear he had no definitive answer but felt that a delusion of sorts combined with sleep paralysis could easily explain the reports.
In centuries past people reported seeing angels and saints. Alien abduction began being reported after the Foo Fighter reports at the end of WWII.
Yes I read it. I also had a chance to talk to Bryan briefly and then listen to his presentation. Delusions snd sleep paralysis were offered as a possible explanation for the abduction phenomenon.
Look, I don’t know what this is but nothing in that lack of knowledge induces me to jump on what I see as the least likely explanation. I certainly wouldn’t believe anything coming out of this administration. There’s just as much swampy deep state in the military as anywhere else
My reading of Bryan's book led me to surmise that he was as dumbfounded as the rest of us. But be that as it may, Mack eliminated certain possibilities, among them the insanity of the witnesses and delusions (unless you consider a mass delusion wherein all the many unrelated witnesses essentially have the same very unique abduction delusion).
Their conclusion is that something is going on, but no one seems to know what the hell it is.
It is called the "Phenomenon" for lack of a better name.
(He might not be wrong)
Yeah might not have been too far off, frankly.
There is not a single thing we have gotten from “aliens.”
The articles source literally states we are like monkeys, as if we could not achieve anything without alien help, which apparently can be transmitted to our brains by the aliens, so an accidental shoot down of an alien craft by a missile isn’t the only way we could apparently get alien technology.
The article is bogus and there are no “aliens.”
I never said Einstein and the others came from the article.
This is what I enjoy about people like you. You can’t discern truth when it’s put in front of you, and you lie about what others say.
Or perhaps the Antichrist will appear straight after the rapture and claim that he himself has separated the sheep from the goats.
That “recon scout” guy is an ugly man. How did he get elected??
Well, you’re right about one thing...I can’t discern anything from the gibberish you post.
Oh, I get it now. You're skeered of "aliens."
Boo!
Don't look now, but I think the aliens have turned you into a monkey. That's why you're slinging so much poo.
You have to keep classified information secret for life, whether your clearance is active or not. That’s made very clear when you get your clearance.
Mack’s use of hypnosis invalidates his witnesses testimony irretrievably in my view.
It's a little known fact that when Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone, he had three missed calls from Chuck Norris.
No one likes hypnosis, but how else would one get to suppressed experiences?
And Mack didn't have anything to gain one way or another. If anyone knew how careful a hypnotherapist had to be not to lead a patient, it would be Mack.
And there are ways to identify false memories...if only by comparing them to the experiences of others for correlation.
Of course, in the end, it is up to you. But I would suggest that the baby not be thrown out with the bathwater.
It is interesting as hell that after all the accounts of abductees, Navy pilots and radar/sensor operators, and others who have studied this stuff, we still have no idea what, if anything, we are dealing with here.
Ooh, those would be “Pod People”.
“You have to keep classified information secret for life, whether your clearance is active or not. “
Correct.
That is why Congress is looking at legislation that would carve out exceptions.
