TOUR OF A UFO
|
||
|
|
by Paul McCarthy
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Ever wonder what an alien craft might look like inside? If the
|
||
|
|
if the information collected by Temple University historian David Jacobs is
|
||
|
|
correct, it may now be possible to know. After interviewing 50 UFO
|
||
|
|
abductees who say they have been whisked off some 275 times, Jacobs has
|
||
|
|
pieced together a picture of what's under the dome.
|
||
|
|
It's incomplete, says Jacobs, because the atmosphere aboard a UFO is
|
||
|
|
all business and no one is offered a guided tour. Abductees are there for
|
||
|
|
a physical exam, he says, and they only see as much of the craft as is
|
||
|
|
neccessary to get the job done. That's why they invariably describe
|
||
|
|
spartan, efficient, and sterile surroundings with virtually no luxury
|
||
|
|
features at all.
|
||
|
|
These are clinical-looking rooms with domed ceilings, skylightlike
|
||
|
|
windows, and gray or white walls, Jacobs explains. And the aliens are good
|
||
|
|
housekeepers. "It is clean and neat. We have had some cases where people
|
||
|
|
vomited and it was cleaned up immediately."
|
||
|
|
Despite these broad similarities, Jacobs adds, there are at least two
|
||
|
|
types of craft, "with the typical large UFO checking in at about two hundred
|
||
|
|
feet in diameter and its smaller cousin at about thirty-five feet. If the
|
||
|
|
craft is on the ground, abductees climb a staircase that is lowered from the
|
||
|
|
object. But if the vessel is hovering, they are floated up."
|
||
|
|
Accidental tourists find themselves in a hallway with metallic walls
|
||
|
|
that are usually bare but sometimes contain a floor-to-ceiling window.
|
||
|
|
Usually they are ushered along a curved corrider, which gives them the
|
||
|
|
feeling that they are walking around the perimeter of the ship, although no
|
||
|
|
one makes a complete loop, says Jacobs. Eventually they are led to the
|
||
|
|
vessel's center, the "medical arena," where unpleasant physical examinations
|
||
|
|
occur.
|
||
|
|
Virtually all medical zones are illuminated by a mysterious light
|
||
|
|
source that abductees cannot locate, Jacobs says. But they have pinpointed
|
||
|
|
the position of voluminous medical equipment--attached to walls and
|
||
|
|
ceilings, in drawers, or on rolling carts. As for the examination table,
|
||
|
|
Jacobs says, it's generally "hard with very little give," and contains
|
||
|
|
lighted, armlike devices snaking up from its sides.
|
||
|
|
In many cases, Jacobs notes, the examination room resembles the hub of
|
||
|
|
a wheel. The spokes, or hallways, lead from the hub to other chambers,
|
||
|
|
revealed only to some abductees after the exam. Also circular, with domed
|
||
|
|
ceilings, white or gray walls, and built-in benches, some of these seem to
|
||
|
|
be "visiting rooms" in which human-alien hybrid babies are touched, held, or
|
||
|
|
viewed.
|
||
|
|
Finally, abductees may pass through a control room that sounds nothing
|
||
|
|
like the bridge of the starship ENTERPRISE. There is a console with lights,
|
||
|
|
an unpadded seat, and no windows.
|
||
|
|
While all this is fascinating, equally interesting is what abductees
|
||
|
|
don't report, Jacobs says. His witnesses are remarkably consistent in not
|
||
|
|
describing living areas and other details expected to pop up in fabricated
|
||
|
|
or imagined accounts. "Of course," Jacobs says, "that doesn't mean they
|
||
|
|
don't exist in other parts of the UFO."
