Budd Hopkins is one of those who only looks at ancedotal evidence that supports his beliefs and ignores what does not.

There are only two possibilities.
{1...
There are a lot of people who are suffering from stress or mental disorder and this is how many manifest it.
Lack of physical evidence suggest this to be the case.

There will always be charletons and oppertunist who prey on the weak, not a good argument for either skeptic or believer. There will always be those who cherry pick research for data that supports their pet beliefs. More prevelent in the ley community but science is not immune.

{2...
Or the fantastic with only ancedotal evidence for support.


From the consistant inconsistancy of abduction reports I conclude this as the fantastic;

1. They can control our perceptions and memory, create unreal virtual memory.
2. They project false memory that play into the abductees belief systems.
...a. Tell some they have been selected for a special purpose
...b. Present as different entites, grays, reptoids, insectoids, tall whites, military
...c. Inform some they are here to help us rise to a higher consciousness
...d. Inform some they are here to rescue us from our folly
...e. Tell some they are here to repair their genetic weakness
...f. Show some visions of Jesus or other significant figures
...g. Just plain scare the beejesus out of some
3. Prevent physical evicence of presence so that mainstream science has reason to deny
4. Posture and display allowing only ancedotal evidence to establish two widely divergent positions UFO and Skeptic

Much confusion and lack of cohesive belief as to purpose is deliberate. Keep us from agreeing and uniting, divide and conquar mentality.

Why would confusion and hiding in plain sight suit their purpose?

They are farming us. Exact product and purpose is not clear but it is clear that it is something we would deny them if they simply asked. So they misdirect, falsify, promote divergent beliefs, and create general confusion as to real purpose.

Face the truth folks. If their intent and purpose were really honerable they would simply land on the white house lawn and say hello. They keep many in belief that soon they will present themselves publicly, yet it never happens. Others are tricked into belief in divine purpose, that is never fully revealed.

Do any of these actions sound like someone with honerable intint?

They promote distrust of our governments.
Goblins, the Devil, Demons, Elves, Fairies, Angels = They have been with us for a long time and adjust the illusions they project to fit our growth in social belief systems.

They manipulate from the shadows and stay just out of reach.
Does this sound like a friend, or a user taking advantage.

This is what the ancedotal evidence says.

Until there is physical evidence then the only conclusion that has a solid foundation for support is that our archytypal fear of the dark gets updated with our growth.

What keeps me from closing the door on the fantastic is those UFO reports just keep coming. What keeps me from opening the door wide is as you all state, no physical proof that science can put in the testube and quantify.

I concede all your points on this basis.
