Would you like to share your experience JoeBoy?
When i asked to bart about his experience, he inmediatly was under fire

,never wanted that, is useless to debate about these personal events, because we were not there, i know a very respected (for me) guy that had an "alien encounter", i never did debate him about it -even if i think it was a mind lapsus-, he believe that, and i was not there,so...
But i like to hear these stories, really..
I personally think the whole alien-UFO is a myth, sadly i have not seen any objetive citeria, the ppl that dont believe, never will,for example on other thread the EM-mind influence argument was defended in such ridicoulus way, i dont believe on aliens, but was clear for me such argument was not valid from the start
On the other side, we have the "woos",many dragged by new age stuff, many of them never have seen an UFO, btw,the "woo" industry is very profitable (at least it seems)
Im my opinion ,the abductions have some link with sleep/dreams and media influence, many cases are related at night and when ppl were on bed, that is a bit suspecting, most of them dont remember that event, and later they discover all...., but then is my opinion, and is highly speculative
I did have some "paranormal" experiences, one of them i heard my sister voice in the night while i has half-sleept, she lives far away from me, and i heard about ghosts and such, i thought something bad happened to her, really was nervious, later i found she was fine, i think that whole event was just becouse in my sub-conscience i really miss her, ...objetively i know that does not mean there are not aliens but our mind can trick us sometimes
Anyway i want to read your stories, is just curiosity
Edit : was not a nice experience if you ask me, was not only the "i heard a voice" thing, i tried to talk , and couldnt, i tried to scream and couldnt, i tried to move, walk, etc, i just were trapped on that half-sleep stage, now if i compare with some alien experiences, it looks somewhat close
