Abduction...   to take away a person by force (against the free
               will of the person abducted).  (The Merriam Webster
               Dictionary, paraphrase by Michael Corbin).

This word is associated with many things that one would read about
in the newspaper virtually everyday.  The Iranian hostages, young
girl abducted by two men and held for ransom.  But, the word
'abduction' has even more serious implication of late.  Whitley
Streiber's abduction, Budd Hopkins' abduction studies.  What does
this mean?  Over the last few years, there has been an ever
increasing rate of alien abductions of human beings.  As a matter
of fact, the numbers have grown enormously over the last year!  As
the record indicates, seemingly normal human beings are being
removed from their homes and vehicles, sometimes in broad daylight,
to be examined by alien beings.  Reports have indicated that these
examinations include the taking of ova and sperm samples from the
victims and the possible insemination of female abductees who
report subsequent pregnancy only to find that the pregnancy has
mysteriously disappeared shortly after the first trimester.  These
disappearances of fetus' are, likewise, associated with another
abduction of the victim.  Mysterious scarring and implants around
the frontal brain area have also been commonplace.  At first, one
would naturally speculate that the people reporting such abductions
were obviously hallucinating such events, however as time has
passed, more and more people have been coming forward reporting the
most bizarre abduction reports of our history.  People, whom
doctors report are average intelligence and normally adjusted
socially.  What is going on?  I have been asking this question of
myself and others over the last year, and have been drawn to this
mystery only to find that it goes much deeper than most people
would realize or acknowledge.  Speculation has ranged from nothing
more than an over active imagination, on the down side, to stories
of the last days and 'fallen angels', on the high side.  It is here
that I would like to analyze what we know to be true in the area of
UFO's and abductions.


Recently discovered by Barry Greenwood and Lawrence Fawcett,
authors of the well known book, Clear Intent, have discovered that
the United States Government has over 10,000 documented reports of
UFO sightings made by the general public, airline pilots, both
civil and military, radar observed UFO's and on and on since as
early as 1942.  During the period of 1942 to 1947, the reports were
sparse and generally were not treated too seriously.  Then, in
1947, things took a sudden and mysterious turn when the news wire
buzzed that a saucer had crashed in a remote region of New Mexico
near the town of Roswell.  As quickly as the story went out over
the wire, it was immediately silenced by the U.S.  Government and
later explained away as a radar reflecting device attached to a
weather balloon.  However, despite the government attempts to
disguise the possible recovery of an unknown type aircraft, using
the weather balloon story, the rumors persist that what actually
was recovered in that field was an actual spacecraft piloted by
aliens.  Even unto 1988, the mystery as far as the public is
concerned remains unsolved and steeped in more secrecy than ever
before.  Greenwood and Fawcett launched a massive and bold campaign
to have the government release to the public, any and all documents
related to this bizarre phenomenon, only to be met with resistance
of a large degree by the military entities that on one hand, deny
the very existence of such phenomenon and on the other, outright
admit their existence by withholding documents pertaining to them.
Many documents are classified 'Above Top Secret'.  So, with this in
mind, are we to believe that nothing exists?  Are we to believe the
Philip Klass' that would have us understand that we are involved in
a phenomenon known as mass hallucination or mistaking something
moving across the sky as the planet Venus?  Not hardly.  But, what
is it?


Anyone could let their imagination run away with them speculating
on what this phenomenon is and from where it comes.  We have seen
this lately in the form of frantic appeals that we are being
invaded by little green men from outer space.  We have heard
stories about MIB's (Men In Black) stalking abduction victims, dark
helicopters buzzing homes and observing the movements of
individuals who are deeply involved in this mystery.  We have heard
that there are underground bases where the aliens perform horrible
experiments on hapless human victims.  And, on top of all of this,
we have heard of MJ-12, the secret, covert organization,
responsible only to the President of the United States.  MJ-12 is
supposed to have the complete and total access to actual living
aliens who are visitors of the government.  The stories go on and
on.  What is true and what is false?  Since no civilian researcher
has ever been invited to a full blown crash investigation, the
civilian ranks must work at this project in the blind.  Many times,
there have been reports of actual physical evidence of an
encounter, but to this day, not one piece of evidence has been
circulated among the civilian ranks.  So, once again, in the
absence of physical evidence to examine, we are left with our minds
to speculate on what could be going on.


While it is not the scope and purpose of this document to discuss
theology, it is important to keep in mind that there could be a
possible link between the phenomenon of today and what has been
recounted in ancient documents.  In 1968, Barry H. Downing
published a book called 'The Bible and Flying Saucers'.  In this
book, Mr. Downing attempts to relate the Bible to this phenomenon. 
What makes this theory so difficult in this day and age is the fact
that mysticism has been replaced with science. As science has made
such leaps and bounds in discovering our roots, it seems that the
Bible and God has been traded off for science text 101.  But, even
with all of science's knowledge, the basic meaning of life has
still not been discovered.  We have always needed a balance of
Science, Philosophy, and Theology to get us where we were going. 
For nearly 6000 years men have tried to discover their meaning and
roots of being.  Yet, in today's modern world, we feel that we are
so close to the answer.  Accident.  I have heard our existence
justified as being part of the 'Cosmic Cookbook' where you add a
little of this and a little of that and poof!, out comes instant
life.  But who or what has been doing the 'adding' of the
ingredients to this large cosmic pot?  While I am not a scientist,
I can say that so far, nothing to my knowledge has been discovered
that will validate the principle of perpetual motion.  In any
event, if motion is to exist, something external must be applied to
that object to put it into motion.  Once motion is achieved, then
periods of external intervention are necessary to keep that object
in motion, lest it would eventually cease to move.  Let's take a
large metallic ball and suspend it from a string.  That ball will
just hang there until we apply the force to it to get it to move.
Once moving, we will have to continue applying an external force to
that ball to keep it moving.  If we don't then that ball will cease
to move.  Now all of us are not scientists, but we do know that the
ball exists since we can see it.  We know that by hitting that
ball, it will move.  We also know that if we do not keep hitting
that ball, it will stop moving in a short time.  Science has taken
this everyday phenomenon and studied it.  They have come to the
same conclusion scientifically that we have.  Now science can
acknowledge this because it has been observed, but science cannot
necessarily determine why this is so.  If they had, then we would
know all there is to know about perpetual motion, but we don't. 
This same discussion could apply to our existence.  We know that
everything around us is in motion.  This would lead us to believe,
that some external force had to be applied to get things moving. 
What was that external force?  Until these answers are beyond
reproach, no one can say that this is wrong and that is right. 
Even science cannot definitively state that we are the products of
an accident.  The universe is in motion, but what force put that
process in motion.  Arguments will be that if God is responsible
then who created God?  But, until we reach God, then we can only
speculate.  Nevertheless, there are several viewpoints in favor of
and against what I am saying here.


If God created us, what does that tell us about God?  It tells us
that God is the Greatest Scientist around.  We have been created in
a physical world with physical bodies and senses.  We know that we
know we exist.  Thus, God must be bound by the same physical laws
that we are, only He has the only real understanding of these laws. 
We know from the Bible and other ancient documents that have been
found that throughout man's history on earth, he has been visited
by beings not of this world, representing God and appearing to have
physical bodies just as we do.  These beings, while not revealing
the mysterious meaning of life, have been instrumental in changing
world events, both directly and indirectly.  These beings have been
referred to as angels.  Recently, I utilized my computer to count
the occurrences of angels in the Bible.  Using Today's English
Version, I referenced the word 'angel' and came up with over 400
occurrences of the word in the entire Bible.  Thus, it would seem
that there were angels reported quite a bit in the Bible.  Where
does this all fit in with the modern world?  Many will say that the
Bible is a collection of mythological tales designed to symbolize
something moral, etc.  Yet, the Bible is historically correct. 
There have been cataclysms on this earth that were recounted in the
Bible.  There are events that are recounted in the Bible that are
historically correct.  How could a book of mythology be correct
historically unless these events that we call myth actually did
occur?  Aside from the Bible, there are ancient documents that
recount flying shields and strange visitors interacting with earth
people.  What about our modern world?  Are we to say that the
hundreds, even thousands of people that claim they have been
abducted are the result of mythological beings?  If this be true,
then we are all victims of this biggest hoax to befall us in the
20th century.


Below follows an excerpt taken from the Pseudepigrapha's First Book
of Enoch.  As some may recall, Enoch was the seventh descendant of
Adam and as Genesis 5:24 recounts, '...Enoch walked with God.  Then
he vanished because God took him...'.  Most scholars agree that
this work was written in both Hebrew and Aramaic, Aramaic being the
language that Jesus spoke.  As you read this, recall the modern
abductions that have been taking place.


                       The Fall Of Angels

6    In those days, when the children of man had multiplied, it
     happened that there were born unto them handsome and beautiful
     daughters.  And the angels, the children of heaven, saw them
     and desired them; and they said to one another, "Come, let us
     choose wives for ourselves from among the daughters of man and
     beget us children." And Semyaz, being their leader, said unto
     them, "I fear that perhaps you will not consent that this deed
     should be done, and I alone will become (responsible) for this
     great sin.  "But they all responded to him, "Let us all swear
     an oath and bind everyone among us by a curse not to abandon
     this suggestion but to do the deed."  Then they all swore
     together and bound one another by (the curse).  And they were
     altogether two hundred; and they descended into 'Ardos, which
     is the summit of Hermon.  And they called the mount Armon, for
     they swore and bound one another by a curse.  And their names
     are as follows: Semyaz, the leader of Arakeb, Rame'el, Tam'el,
     Ram'el, Dan'el, Ezeqel, Baraqyal, As'el, Armaros, Batar'el,
     Anan'el, Zaqe'el, Sasomasp w e'el, Kestar'el, Tur'el, Yamayol,
     and Arazyal.  These are their chiefs of tens and of all the
     others with them.


7    and they took wives unto themselves, and everyone
     (respectively) chose one woman for himself, and they began to
     go unto them.  And they taught them magical medicine,
     incantations, the cutting of roots, and taught them (about)
     plants.  And the woman became pregnant and gave birth to great
     giants whose heights were three hundred cubits.  These
     (giants) consumed the produce of all the people until the
     people detested feeding them.  So the giants turned against
     (the people) in order to eat them.  And they began to sin
     against birds, wild bests, reptiles, and fish.  And their
     flesh was devoured the one by the other, and they drank blood. 
     And then the earth brought an accusation against the
     oppressors.


8    And Azaz'el taught the people (the art of) making swords and
     knives, and shields, and breastplates; and he showed to their
     chosen ones bracelets, decorations, (shadowing of the eye with
     antimony, ornamentation, the beautifying of the eyelids, all
     kinds of precious stones, and all coloring tinctures and
     alchemy.  And there were many wicked ones and they committed
     adultery and erred, and all their conduct became corrupt. 
     Amasras taught incantation and the cutting of roots; and
     Armaros the resolving of incantations; and Baraqyal astrology,
     and Kokarer'el (the knowledge of) the signs, and Tam'el taught
     the seeing of the stars, and Asder'el taught the course of the
     moon as well as the deception of man.  And (the people) cried
     and their voice reached unto heaven.


9    Then Michael, Surafel, and Gabriel observed carefully from the
     sky and the saw much blood being shed upon the earth, and all
     the oppression being wrought upon the earth.  And they said to
     one another, "the earth, (from) her empty (foundation), has
     brought the cry of their voice unto the gates of heaven.  And
     now, (o) holy ones of heaven, the souls of people are putting
     their case before you pleading, `Bring our judgment before the
     Most High.'"  And they said to the lord of the potentates,
     "For he is the Lord of lords, and the God of gods, and the
     King of kings, and the seat of his glory (stands) throughout
     all the generations of the world.  Your name is holy, bless,
     and glorious throughout the whole world.  You have made
     everything and with you is the authority for everything. 
     Everything is naked and open before your sight, and you see
     everything; and there is nothing which can hide itself from
     you.  You see what Azaz'el has done; how he has taught all
     (forms of) oppression upon the earth.  And they revealed
     eternal secrets which are performed in heaven (and which) man
     learned.  (Moreover) Semyaz, to whom you have given power to
     rule over his companions, co-operating, they went in unto the
     daughters of the people on earth, and they lay together with
     them-with those women-and defiled themselves, and revealed to
     them every (kind of) sin.  As for the women, they gave birth
     to giants to the degree that the whole earth was filled with
     blood and oppression.  And now behold, the Holy One will cry,
     and those who have died will bring their suit up to the gate
     of heaven.  Their groaning has ascended (into heaven), but
     they could not get out from before the face of the oppression
     that is being wrought on earth.  And you know everything
     (even) before it came to existence, and you see (this thing)
     (but) you do not tell us what is proper for us that we may do
     regarding it.


10   And then spoke the Most High, the Great and Holy One! And he
     sent Asuryal to the son of Lamech, (saying), "Tell him in my
     name, 'Hide yourself!' and reveal to him the end of what is
     coming; for the earth and everything will be destroyed.  And
     the Deluge is about to come upon all the earth; and all that
     is in it will be destroyed.  And now instruct him in order
     that he may flee, and his seed will be preserved for all
     generations."  And secondly the Lord said to Raphael, "Bind
     Aza'el hand and foot (and) throw him into the darkness!"  And
     he made a hole in the desert which was in Duda'el and cast him
     there; he threw on top of him rugged and sharp rocks.  And he
     covered his face in order that he may not see light, and in
     order that he may be sent into the fire on the great day of
     judgment.  And give life to the earth which the angels have
     corrupted.  And he will proclaim life for the earth: that he
     is giving life to her.  And all the children of the people
     will not perish through all the secrets (of the angels),"
     which they taught to their sons.  And the whole earth has been
     corrupted by Azaz'el's teaching of his (own) actions; and
     write upon him all sin.  And to Gabriel the lord said,
     "Proceed against the bastards and the reprobates and against
     the children of adultery; and destroy the children of adultery
     and expel the children of the Watchers from among the people. 
     And send them against one another (so that) they may be
     destroyed in the fight, for length of days have they not. 
     They will beg you everything - for their fathers on behalf of
     themselves - because they hope to live an eternal life.  (They
     hope) that each one of them will live a period of five hundred
     years."  And to Michael God said, "Make known to Semyaz and
     the others who are with him, who fornicated with the women
     that they will die together with them in all their defilement. 
     And when they and all their children have battled with each
     other, and when they have seen the destruction of their
     beloved ones, bind them for seventy generations underneath the
     rocks of the ground until the day of their judgment and and of
     their consummation, until the eternal judgment is concluded. 
     in those days they will lead them into the bottom of the fire-
     and in torment-in the prison (where) they will be locked up
     forever.  And at the time when they will burn and die, those
     who collaborated with them will be bound together with them
     from henceforth unto the end of (all) generations.  And
     destroy all the souls of pleasure and the children of the
     Watchers, for they have done injustice to man.  Destroy
     injustice from the face of the earth.  And every iniquitous
     deed will end, and the plant of righteousness and truth will
     appear forever and he will plant joy.  And then all the
     righteous ones will escape; and become the living ones until
     they multiply and become tens of hundreds; and all the days of
     their youth and the years of their retirement they will
     complete in peace.  And in those days the whole earth will be
     worked in righteousness, all of her planted with trees, and
     will find blessing.  And they shall plant pleasant trees upon
     her-vines.  And he who plants a vine upon her will produce
     wine for plenitude.  and every seed that is sown on her, one
     measure will yield a thousand (measures) and one measure of
     olives will yield ten measures of presses of oil.  And you
     cleanse the earth from all injustice, and from all defilement,
     and from all oppression, and from all sin, and from all
     iniquity which is being done on earth; remove them from the
     earth.  And all the children of the people will become
     righteous, and nations shall worship and bless me; and they
     will all prostrate themselves to me.  And the earth shall be
     cleansed from all pollution, and from all sin, and from all
     plague, and from all suffering; and it shall not happen again
     that I shall send (these) upon the earth from generation to
     generation and forever.


11   "And in those days I shall open the storerooms of blessing
     which are in the heavens, so they I shall send them down upon
     the earth, over the work and the toil of the children of man. 
     And peace and truth shall become partners together in all the
     days of the world, and in all the generations of the world."

Quite an incredible story.  Budd Hopkins is the leading researcher
on human abductions.  He has worked with many people that claim
that they have been abducted by strange creatures and were made to
helplessly watch as these creatures probed and prodded at their
bodies.  There have even been reports of insemination and a victim
meeting with a child that she feels was her child, but was fathered
by an alien.  As the above story goes, could there have been
genetic engineering as long as 6000 years ago?  Seems quite suspect
to me.  If so, why?  Are these creatures somehow tied to who we
perceive to be God?  Are they the fallen angels associated with
Lucifer, the one supreme angel that rebelled against God and was
cast out of heaven by Michael, the famous Archangel?  These beings,
if they are capable of having sexual intercourse with earthlings,
must have a physical body.  Could there exist out in the vast
expanse of universe, a whole world devoted to the creatures spoken
of in the Bible?  Perhaps, they had been appointed as Watchers over
the human race and violated a sacred oath not to interfere with us,
but to guide us in our maturation process externally and quietly.
Again, one can only speculate about what they want with us.

There are many whom I am sure will disagree with this approach,
however lest we totally deny our own existence, we must work with
what knowledge we have.  The ancient peoples of this world could
not have had in mind to perpetuate a grand hoax such as the Bible,
made it historically true and expected it to last as long as it
has.  I say that all things, in all parts of the world, have a
commonalty to them.  The commonalty is that they are all pieces of
the big puzzle.  Each piece fits intricately with the next piece
and we should not be so quick to discount something such as this
because it is based on religion.  You see, religion and science all
have their nature closely intertwined.  For it was out of
structured religion that we have made important discoveries about
who we are and what our purpose is.  There really cannot be one
without the other.  For if it is all true that we are the product
of an external force that we call God, then science and religion
will be forced to reconcile the separation of the marriage that has
been valid all these years and has kept them apart.


For now, though, we must continue to work together to figure this
puzzle out.  We must remain open minded enough to explore all
possibilities of this phenomenon and be ready to acknowledge that
something is occurring even as this is being written that someday
will expose itself to all nations and people.
