THE UNNAMED DISEASE

     I just finished reading a book published in 1999 titled:  ‘THE ABDUCTION ENIGMA”, subtitled:  “The truth behind the mass alien abductions of the late twentieth century.”  The three authors of this work are Kevin D. Randle, Russ Estes and William P. Cone, Ph.D.

The essence of the 388 pages that I carefully read can be summed up in the authors’ own words, within one paragraph, on page 359.  I quote the book, exactly:

     “Here’s what it all comes down to.  There is not a single shred of physical evidence that alien abductions are taking place other than the tainted testimony of the abductees.  The physical evidence to support the claims is nonexistent.  What has been offered as proof has been eliminated through testing by objective scientists or additional research by unbiased investigators.  The scars, missing fetus, or the implants do not carry the proper medical documentation to make a strong case and in fact, suggest something else altogether.”

    These three authors set out, from the first chapter, to thoroughly point out the flaws, mistakes, assumptions and lack of due diligence exercised by well-known researchers in the field such as John Mack, John Carpenter, David Jacobs and Budd Hopkins. 

     In pointing out “flaws and faults” of other authors they include some not-so-familiar names such as Derrel Sims – (the alien hunter), Dr. Roger Leir and Joe Nyman.

      As you read page after page of why these three authors believe that abductions by aliens are impossible, you may find some of the logic, quite compelling.

     I am reminded, for example, that I was among the first who truly believed that the Boeing 747 was such a massive hunk of tonnage, that it would be absolutely impossible for the thing to become airborne, let alone fly!  I was living in Seattle, Washington and watching the first test flight on television, hoping to win my bet and watch that big bird pitch right into the bay from it’s ascension run to the end of the runway at waters’ edge.  As we all now know, the Boeing 747 does fly, regularly and quite well, at that.

     These three authors ask and then answer a series of rhetorical questions such as:  “Why would the grays abduct the same person, over and over again?  (In my case it was 13 times.)  “After all, the grays are smart enough to learn everything they wish to know about a human being in one solitary abduction.”

     This would appear to be true, from our human perspective, but then we do not comprehend the mind of the grays.  After all, why do we keep recapturing deer and elk that we have previously ‘tagged’ and check upon the growth, health and migration habits, of those animals?

     By conservative estimates the minimal number of abductions reported in the United States alone, is placed at three million people.  A more moderate estimate puts that number, (both reported and unreported), at closer to six million.  Can you believe that six million people all have a unique, shared, fantasy?   Six million people have this ‘unnamed disease’ that is untreatable?  Six million people are offered no prescription drugs or coping skills to counteract this delusional sickness.

     If you just think about UFO sightings alone, the numbers become astronomical!  The last figures I heard, (from a survey), said that one in four people had actually seen a UFO, in the United States and almost 80% of the population, (240 million), knew someone who had seen a UFO.  Are these folks delusional, as well?  If we have an untreated illness that afflicts eighty percent of the population of the United States, we are in real trouble.

    The authors, within this book, do not attempt to state any opinion as to what the government may or may not know regarding UFO’s and alien abduction.

     To counteract this blatant negativity I would suggest reading any book written by Timothy Good.  Mr. Good has an opposing viewpoint and his writing, (and arguments for alien presence), is much more compelling than within this tome. 

     Unfortunately the subtitled claim that this book contains the “truth” is somewhat premature.  The truth, I am certain, is still out there – somewhere, we are just not privy to it, as of yet.
