Let me start by saying I have not seen the new Hollywood film about alien abductions, The Fourth Kind. The film is a ‘documentary’ about a series of supposed alien abductions that took place outside Nome, Alaska. The title comes from UFO uber-researcher Jaques Valle and means an alien abduction.
I was inspired to write about the movie because of my interest in the abduction phenomenon, and also because of a positive review I read this morning about how the director had done a wonderful job weaving in ‘real’ footage of Dr. Abigail Tyler’s original hypnosis sessions with abductees with the re-creation of abduction interviews.
Then I found out the movie was fake.
A Google search for Dr. Abigail Tyler returned a number of blogs and websites that go to length to prove the legitimacy of the abduction claims made in "The Fourth Kind’s" trailer.
The two websites are: httptr://alaskanewsarchive.com/, and http://alaskapsychiatryjournal.org/entries/Dr-Abigail-Tyler-Bio.html. They are both defunct now. When they were live, they both contained copyrights of 1997 at the bottom of the page. But doing a whois search revealed that both site swere created on the same day that the movie trailer was released. You’ll also notice that the movie was shot in the deep forests of Bulgaria not the flat arctic tundra of Nome, Alaska. While there has been a rash of disappearances in Nome, Alaska – they are not, as far as we can suss out, because of alien abduction.
Here’s a picture of Nome, Alaska in the movie:
And here’s a picture of the real Nome, Alaska.
Yawn! Another viral video campaign. Booring. The irony is that the real Nome, Alaska looks much more terrifying than the movie version.
I find the truth of the alien abduction phenomenon much, much more interesting than anything a marketing guru can devise.
There Are More Things In Heaven And Earth Horatio
By now we all know about alien abductions. This wasn’t the case a few decades ago. In an interview I watched today, researcher Tracy Torme makes the great comment that before Whitley Streiber’s groundbreaking book, Communion, you could ask 100 different people what an alien looks like and you would get 100 different answers. Now you could ask 100 different people what an alien looks like and they probably all draw the grey.
Is this part of a disclosure process?
The Tracy Torme interview is a wonderful Coast to Coast Am about abductions. I highly recommend it. The first part is below. You can also find it in a Youtube playlist I’ve put together about Alien Abductions. Tracy Torme wrote and produced, "Fire in the Sky" the Travis Walton abduction story.
Tracy Torme on Alien Abductions
Was Jesus an Alien Hybrid
I find it interesting that there’s a correlation between the birth of Jesus and the abduction phenomenon.
In alien abductions, there is a sexual componant. Eggs are taken and implanted into women, and sperm is often taken from men. Women also report being impregnated by their abductors. This would be the same basic kind of scenario for the virgin birth of Jesus – if the fetuses of the abducted women were allowed to gestate to birth.
Was Jesus a hybrid?
Speaking of hybrids, another great researcher of alien abductions is David Jacobs. He is a professor a Temple University in Philidelphia and has done a lot of first hand interviews with people abducted by UFOs.
Here’s a great interview with David and George Knapp from Coast to Coast AM.
Online Alien Abduction Resources
As you can probably imagine, the web is rampant with Alien Abduction. You can find a great general description the alien abduction phenomenon from Wikipedia. Here’s a semi-decent site with lots of information about alien abductions, Abduct.com. They do have a good page about UFO support groups.
You can find out about Travis Walton’s abduction experience at his personal website. And here’s a great site of drawings of aliens and UFOs by children.
John Mack
No compilation of the alien abduction phenomenon would be complete without mentioning Harvard researcher John Mack. He was as main-stream an academic as you could be. Then he started researching the alien abduction phenomenon by interviewing abductees under hypnosis.
Needless to say the Harvard establishment was NOT impressed. He was killed by a drunk driver after he started this research. He is a true ground breaker and his work has gone a long way toward legitimizing the alien abduction phenomenon. Enjoy this lecture from the international UFO congress.
You can also find out more of what John Mack has to say in the following interview on Coast to Coast Am with John Mack and Art Bell.
Budd Hopkins, Legendary Researcher of Alien Abduction
Last, but certainly not least, I offer up a lecture by the crown prince of Alien Abductions research, Budd Hopkins. This is a lecture he presented at an LA Mufon conference.
Here’s a bio of Budd from the Intruders Foundation.
"Budd Hopkins is a world-renowned artist, author, and pioneer UFO abduction researcher. Having investigated well over 700 cases, he now heads the Intruders Foundation, a nonprofit, scientific research and support organization. Budd first became interested in the UFO phenomenon when he and two others had a daylight UFO sighting near Truro, Massachusetts, in 1964. In 1975 he carried out his first major investigation which involved a UFO landing and occupant incident in North Hudson Park, NJ. Shortly thereafter, he began to concentrate on the investigation of the UFO abduction phenomenon, which led to the eventual publication of his findings.
Taken together, his three books, Missing Time, 1981, Intruders, 1987, and Witnessed, 1996, are widely regarded by researchers and skeptics alike as comprising the most influential series of books yet published on the abduction phenomenon. These works, Hopkins’ lectures, and his other presentations have been responsible for bringing a number of other noted researchers-David Jacobs, John Carpenter, Yvonne Smith, and John Mack, among others-into this extraordinary area of specialization. His documented discoveries have become the basis of most later abduction investigations and research."
Final Thoughts
Will I see The Fourth Kind? Yes, probably. I’m sure I’ll enjoy it, I’ll just be waiting for it to come on network TV for free. It’s too bad the creators of The Fourth Kind did not make a movie about real abductions. It seems like this might be another instance where the truth is stranger than fiction. Alot of people in high academic positions have done a lot of work to show that this phenomenon is real.
We recommend you listen to them, then make up your own mind – like most things in esoterica. Keep an open head and enjoy the ride. The world is crazier than you and I can even start to imagine.
Regarding was Jesus a hybrid: Mary is often considered a symbol for earth, or Gaia. The divine insemination of Mary could represent alien gene splicing or tampering, and since Jesus is a symbol for the new Adam – that would be you and I. You freakin’ hybrid!
