If there is a common thread among the people who say they are "experiencers" it is that they are all loose adherents to what might be called "new age religion."
In all the years I have been following this stuff, I have never heard a devout Christian describe himself as an "experiencer."
As an aside, I have a close personal friend--now a devout Christian but not then--see a UFO up close when returning to Vermont from a shopping trip to Montreal. She and two friends and her mother (all remembered it) saw a large UFO hovering over the tree tops...just sitting there.
I asked her if she had any missing time. Her answer: "Not that I know of."
That’s all in concern of the “abductee” aspect of UFOlogy.
Calling them ‘experiencers’ is one way to put it, but it’s been my observation whenever listening/watching interviews with these people is that they all feel special because of it. Many of them are not conscious of it and would probably even deny it, but many of them come right out and admit it. They’ll say how horrible it all is and how it’s ruined their lives, but that they believe there is something special about them that is the reason for it. It’s psychological, and as a skeptic, I have a very difficult time not making subjective value judgements about them.
There is another issue all together that bothers me a lot more. The reports for many many decades that ‘they’ (UFOs, when not abducting people I guess) are almost always reported around nuclear facilities, both military and private, and both weapon based as well as energy related. Also, it appears it happens all over the world, not just in the U.S.
Speaking subjectively, and from a human perspective, this could be a good thing, or it could be a very bad thing. The most likely possibility is that they view nuclear capability is their greatest and perhaps only threat. This makes a lot of sense, and even if their position for all the recconnasance is passive but defensive, it is still difficult to expect that it wouldn’t be leading up to.... something. To put a more biblical slant on that notion (someone posted a video link about fallen angels which I haven’t watched yet but will), I don’t think many of the non human powers are always significantly present, and there are many types. You have references to the fallen ones, the watchers, angels, demons that can possess, etc, but it seems to me that they come and go, such as when god judged that the earth must be rid of evil and brought the flood. These information gathering phenomenon appear to me to be less significant in the sense that that would be a part of their operational set of function. They themselves are not particularly a threat.
The alternative would be that they do not engage but their purpose is conceptually “good”. IE: They are watchers and subjectively ambivalent but would protect us from causing our own massive apocalypse. This all seems like a wonderful thought and there is a case to be made for it; many abductees are given this message, as well as the fact that they phenomenon seemed to appear around nuclear facilities just a few years after the second world war, as examples. I wouldn’t trust it because if it/they have malicious designs, they’d say they were here for our benefit anyway, in order to aid in progressing their objectives.
Of course, the most plausible explanation is that this is not a real phenomenon at all.
