Well, since he was a former CIA agent, I don't take what he says for much.Whitley Strieber came to the conclusion that aliens are a future version of humanity, so take that for what you may think it's worth.

That's the script that the CIA wants him to follow. Notice how he first gains money by claiming the abductions are real, and then very quickly amends that to claim that they are not actually physical beings, but some form of hologram or something not of our dimension. Those new age terms are straight out of theThat's a very narrow viewpoint, taking all and every UFO and alien encounter and putting one source for them all...How does he account for the various species seen and experienced in abductions?...

Or maybe people only called them "demons" back in the Dark Ages, because they had no idea about "extraterrestrial life" and their context only gave them religious terms as possible explanations. If some European pig farmer in the Middle Ages encountered a grey, slanty-eyed alien, what would he have called it? Definitely a demon. So it's quite possible that the phenomenon has remained the same, but our descriptions and explanations have evolved alongside our scientific understanding of the universe and our place within it.Rewind a few centuries and the experience would have been witches or demons or whatever.
It occurred to me recently that perhaps my perspective on abductions has been all wrong-headed. I assume that they're just collecting data and analyzing a random cross-section of our population to basically map the diversity of our genome and tease out any useful mechanisms that have evolved here over the last few billion years...surely the biotech of any living planet would have a few surprising innovations useful to any technological species, now matter how advanced they are. It's not really disputable that human biology (and specifically the brain) represents the most advanced form of technology on Earth. All of our rockets and jets and radar systems etc., pale in comparison to the sophistication of the biological technology that evolved here naturally. Bats are basically flying sonar stations that can self-repair and self-replicate...kinda makes bulky human radar systems seem pretty primitive by comparison.
But maybe they're looking for something specific - perhaps an avatar, an enlightened master like Buddha or Christ or Kabir.

I tend to stay away from abductions because abductees' memories are mostly fragmented and unreliable. They've been passed through a strictly controlled process and they don't usually observe any physical effects that can be cross-referenced to known physics.
But Marc Davenport made a great observation that it is impossible for different species to interbreed. Obviously, aliens have super high tech and can bypass such limitations, but there are many reports of aliens directly having sex with humans. That, in turn, gives credibility to the non-ETH hypothesis, that somehow aliens are our own descendants from the distant future.
The reasons are many and involves perhaps a very high number of visitors. One must also consider animal mutilations, IMHO. As I believe some or most have a connection.I know that most Ufologists posit that extraterrestrials are somehow attempting to breed hybrids of human and aliens, in order to somehow infiltrate and take over our planet. That's the extreme end of the guessing stick.
I recently translated the A. Boas symbols from the Brazil abduction way back in 1957. It says that
they themselves are the victims of a plague-like poison, and that they are here for their "offspring, descendants" on Earth. I know that's going to shock the hell out of the Christian groups, but really
it is more in line with all of the ancient oral history that records an intervention by aliens in the evolution of mankind, and it make sense. Because if they only needed to take over out planet, I'm fairly sure that this could be done in a much quicker and easier way, by someone who was much more developed technologically speaking.
Andy thoughts on this, or on how the Christians might react ?
Very interesting information, thank you for sharing that.I've not seen UFO occupants --just the UFOs. I believe in science and have a hard time understanding the humanoid form of aliens in reports, and their variety; it doesn't jibe with any kid of exobiological evolutionary process that I can think of, and yet apparently people see them near or in UFOs, repeatedly. Sometimes people report shadowy figures or presences, other times physical beings like "grays". I am in the position of many open-minded folks without direct knowledge of them, but as my own experience and the history of the phenomenon is so overwhelming and strange, I can't disbelieve in it (how is that for an ambiguous statement?). As far as abductions, animal "mutilations" and the humanoid aspect of some aliens, I can only think of three possibilities..
1. The visitors have been here for a very long time and have treated this place like a nature reserve and have indeed created a human population in another place --a second earth or population in another place. The same way we create large zoos. The taking of the tongues and other organs of cattle (and sample collection generally), are used to match the microbiomes of our earth which are always changing (the tissue can provide a good sampling). The two populations are kept along a similar evolutionary course. The reason they are here is --the life. We are an amazing oasis, and might be the only one or one of the few they have encountered. They also wouldn't want us to destroy most of it with nukes, thus the surveillance of the militaries. If they were also able to travel through time, this could get very weird.
2. They are symbolic implanted perceptions and memories, from a technology much more advanced than ours in some cases, or synthetic beings created as intermediaries from (see #1).
3. They are able to get here and back to "there" from their contiguous universe with humanoids at certain times and places --if this was the case, they would know in advance when they could get here.
All of these are extremely bizarre scenarios made to fit the reports.
