THE ENTITIES
|
|
Initial Findings of the Abduction Transcription Project
|
|
|
|
A MUFON Special Report by Dan Wright
|
|
|
|
In the Spring of 1992, MUFON launched an ambitious project to
|
|
compile transcripts of audiotaped hypnosis sessions and conscious-recall
|
|
interviews with claimed abduction experiencers (hereinafter the
|
|
"subjects").
|
|
|
|
A year later, the Fund for UFO Research joined the effort. By
|
|
agreeing to divide the costs with MUFON for a sophisticated computer
|
|
system, FUFOR underscored the need for comparative analysis of all
|
|
reported factors in the verbatim transcripts.
|
|
|
|
With an ever growing number of cases on record and a powerful
|
|
computer now in place to conduct multi-factor analyses, future updates
|
|
will begin to address the question "Who does what?" This initial report
|
|
is limited in scope, presenting data for each descriptive element
|
|
without factoring by entity type or other variable.
|
|
|
|
The findings are based on 317 transcripts derived from thirteen
|
|
abduction researchers.(1) Most of the subjects were hypnotized and/or
|
|
interviewed on multiple (or even numerous) occasions. Consequently, the
|
|
317 documents, each from a single session, comprise 95 separate cases:
|
|
27 males, 58 females, and 1O cases with both male and female subjects.
|
|
It is not the author's intent to imply statistical significance for any
|
|
of the results that follow.
|
|
|
|
PREFACE
|
|
|
|
Abduction cases involve widely varying descriptions of entities,
|
|
surroundings, medical and other procedures, communications with the
|
|
beings, and post-event effects. However, similarities among many
|
|
accounts are striking.
|
|
|
|
This, the first of two parts, addresses typical abduction sites;
|
|
precognition of an episode and familiarity with a being; vehicle types;
|
|
how subjects are transported and the resulting effects; features of the
|
|
examining room; odors detected; recognition of other abductees and the
|
|
appearance of the entities, including their garments and locomotion.
|
|
|
|
In this report, a "case" includes all abduction-related events
|
|
in a subject's life. Families or roommates ar also considered a single
|
|
case except wherein an individual had separate CE-4 episodes apart from
|
|
the shared living arrangement. The data below frequently express the
|
|
number of "subjects" to which an abduction factor applies. In such
|
|
tallies, every subject represents a discreet case.
|
|
|
|
For some factors, the total of all input exceeds 100% of the
|
|
cases reported, since many individual subjects have encountered more
|
|
than one type of entity or circumstance. The terms "entity," "being" and
|
|
"alien" are used interchangeably, as are "vehicle," "ship" and "craft."
|
|
|
|
ABDUCTION SITE
|
|
|
|
In a great majority of the 95 cases, the subjects indicated that
|
|
their own residence (generally the bedroom) was the abduction point.
|
|
However, 15 subjects have also (or instead) reported some other
|
|
location. Ten of those were taken from their automobiles and six from a
|
|
cabin or campsite.
|
|
|
|
UNSEEN PRESENCE
|
|
|
|
Whether purposeful or inadvertent, over a fourth (28%) of the
|
|
subjects in the study have sensed an alien presence other than visually.
|
|
This often occurred in the hours, minutes or seconds before visual
|
|
confirmation. In other cases, an unseen presence was felt in the midst
|
|
of a cluster of episodes but with no known CE-4 on that night.
|
|
|
|
The recognition was sometimes obvious -- an electrical tingling,
|
|
a buzzing or beeping in the person's mind, rappings and other
|
|
"poltergeist" activity. In a few cases, the subject "just knew" that the
|
|
intruders were present.
|
|
|
|
FAMILIARITY
|
|
|
|
From prior events, presumably, many subjects recognized their
|
|
abductors -- or one in particular -- a factor which David Jacobs has
|
|
called the "familiar being."(2)
|
|
|
|
While common, the initial results of this study suggest it is
|
|
far from a universal aspect. In the 95 cases thus far recorded, the
|
|
subject told of recognizing one or more entities in 34.
|
|
|
|
Relatedly, ten subjects telepathically heard their own names
|
|
spoken by a being. In 18 other cases, the entity told the subject (s)he
|
|
was "chosen " "special" or "protected"' in some unspecified manner.
|
|
|
|
Taken together, these three factors (familiar beings, hearing
|
|
one's name, and selection or protection) account for 44 cases.
|
|
|
|
VEHICLE SIGHTED
|
|
|
|
A telling point concerning the study findings to date: Only a
|
|
small majority (55%) of the subjects had _ever_ sighted an anomalous
|
|
object (i.e., excluding simple nocturnal lights) -- whether during an
|
|
abduction scenario or any other time.
|
|
|
|
Table 1 shows the basic vehicle shapes reported among the 31
|
|
cases in which an object of any _specific_ shape was discerned.
|
|
|
|
SUBJECT TRANSIT
|
|
|
|
No doubt surprising to some readers, a clear majority of the
|
|
study's subjects had no recollection of ever going to or returning from
|
|
a ship. This poses obvious questions for ensuing research.
|
|
|
|
Of those who did recall the transit, four mentioned a small,
|
|
peculiar capsule in which they were placed. Levitation, though, was by
|
|
far the more frequent mode, cited in 33 cases.
|
|
|
|
In 17 cases, usually beginning outdoors, the subject was raised
|
|
bodily into the air by a beam of light. In 20 cases, the person was
|
|
lifted out of bed and through a closed window (or screen), door, wall or
|
|
ceiling -- generally without sensing a surrounding light.
|
|
|
|
DIZZINESS/NAUSEA
|
|
|
|
Twenty subjects reported feeling either dizzy or nauseous at
|
|
some point in an episode. This was most often associated with transit
|
|
via levitation.
|
|
|
|
EXAMINING ROOM
|
|
|
|
Very often, the first area viewed onboard the ship was a hallway
|
|
or tunnel. This feature, which played a part in 35 cases, was sometimes
|
|
quite lengthy and usually curved. Soon, however, most subjects entered
|
|
an examining room that was fairly stark in appearance, likened to the
|
|
office of a doctor or dentist.
|
|
|
|
The room's shape has been described in 29 cases. In 25 of those,
|
|
it was said to be either round(ed) or domed. This, together with curving
|
|
hallways, coincides with the preponderance of discoid vehicles in the
|
|
study. Notably, nine subjects remarked on an especially large room with
|
|
either numerous examining tables or amphitheater-type seating.
|
|
|
|
Coloration of the room was mentioned in 31 cases. White was
|
|
dominant in 18, while grey (or metallic) was the theme in eleven.
|
|
Curiously, in three a room with black walls was mentioned.
|
|
|
|
Thirty-two subjects remarked on the relative luminosity onboard.
|
|
A very bright room was found in 25 cases, but in 13 there was a dim or
|
|
dark room. Obviously, then, a few subjects encountered both.
|
|
|
|
Room furnishings included variations on many built-ins and items
|
|
of furniture in our daily lives. The centerpiece was nearly always a
|
|
table (or tables), specifically mentioned in 52 cases and implied in
|
|
most of the remainder. Typically it was hard, flat, rather narrow, and
|
|
supported by a single pedestal. In a few instances, the table was
|
|
raised, lowered or folded like a living-room recliner. Other furnishings
|
|
frequently seen were kitchen-type counters and/or cabinets, as well as
|
|
computer panels and screens. Table 2 details these and other items.
|
|
|
|
ODORS
|
|
|
|
In 18 cases, the subject detected some specific aroma other than
|
|
a basically clean smell. Nothing in particular dominates the data, but a
|
|
couple bear mention. Four subjects apparently smelled the burning of
|
|
their own hair or tissue, while six remarked on a foul odor emanating
|
|
from the beings themselves.
|
|
|
|
OTHER SUBJECTS
|
|
|
|
Abduction events are thought by many to be solitary experiences
|
|
for the human subject. Yet in 30 cases (nearly a third of the total) one
|
|
or more persons were seen in the vehicle and assumed -- from their state
|
|
of dress or demeanor -- to be fellow abductees. Usually there was no
|
|
communication whatsoever among the subjects. Ambiguous but fascinating,
|
|
a few thought they recognized a certain person from previous episodes.
|
|
|
|
ENTITY SKIN TONE & QUALITY
|
|
|
|
"Greys" have gained status as the garden-variety alien in
|
|
abduction lore. And while 38 subjects in the study have encountered grey
|
|
(or grey-white) skinned entities, another 19 describe the abductors as
|
|
absolutely "white" (not to be confused with Caucasian). In one case, the
|
|
subject was emphatic by stating "Clorox white."
|
|
|
|
Neither greyish nor whitish aliens dominate the study's files,
|
|
though. Dark-skinned entities were seen in 18 cases; blue or grey-blue
|
|
in eight; and green or grey-green in seven. Beings with an aura (or
|
|
"glow") obscuring the actual exterior were present in 13 cases. And five
|
|
subjects reported a "shadow-like" entity that might not even be
|
|
tangible.
|
|
|
|
Table 3 is a breakdown of entity skin tones.
|
|
|
|
Certain qualities associated with an entity's skin have been
|
|
reported in significant numbers. In six cases, the epidermis was said to
|
|
be "translucent" or "thin" and the underlying dermis (sometimes
|
|
described as a grey gel) thereby visible. This might account for some
|
|
confusion here and there as to whether a given entity was "white" or
|
|
"grey" toned.
|
|
|
|
In 17 cases, the subject reported a "smooth," "plastic," "vinyl"
|
|
or "shiny" skin. This was usually attributed to the diminutive "worker
|
|
bee" types rather than to the taller one(s) in charge.
|
|
|
|
Fifteen subjects mentioned seeing one or more entities who were
|
|
prominently wrinkled. These were sometimes referred to as "old ones" and
|
|
thought to be important figures.
|
|
|
|
Thirteen persons mentioned that a being's touch (often as part
|
|
of examining procedures) was cool or cold thereby prompting questions of
|
|
whether such types are warm-blooded by our standards.
|
|
|
|
ENTITY HEIGHT & BUILD
|
|
|
|
Subjects in 66 cases remarked on the relative height of their
|
|
captors. Few people are in fact good judges of same, and in many
|
|
instances the estimate was from a prone position in bed or on a table of
|
|
unknown elevation onboard.
|
|
|
|
Nevertheless, in 57 of the 66 cases at least one entity type was
|
|
depicted as "short," typically between 3 and 4 1/2 feet. Also, in 47
|
|
cases there was mention of a "taller" entity -- either taller than
|
|
another type in the experience or of roughly adult human proportions.
|
|
And in ten cases there was a "tall one" -- at least 6 feet and more
|
|
often over 7 feet.
|
|
|
|
Forty-four subjects remarked on the entities' stature. In 39
|
|
cases, there was a "skinny" or "frail" being. Two subjects indicated
|
|
someone of normal human build. And ten spoke of a being who was
|
|
"stocky," "muscular," "wide" or "stout".
|
|
|
|
FACIAL FEATURES
|
|
|
|
Oversized eyes, typically almond-shaped and uniformly black,
|
|
have certainly been the norm in the literature. But that description is
|
|
not exclusive. In 11 cases within this study, a distinct pupil, iris
|
|
and/or sclera (whiteness surrounding the iris) was noticed. In three of
|
|
those, the being was said to have "cat's eyes" (i.e, vertical-slit
|
|
pupils).
|
|
|
|
Basic eye color, among the 44 cases reporting, was described as:
|
|
|
|
* black (or.dark) - 35
|
|
* green - 4
|
|
* blue - 3
|
|
* brown - 3
|
|
* gold 2
|
|
|
|
As to the nose, an indistinct rise above two small nostrils was
|
|
indicated in 30 of the 33 cases reporting on same. One subject said it
|
|
was pointed. Another five thought that a particular entity type was
|
|
without a nose of any sort.
|
|
|
|
Twenty of the 25 subjects who reported a being's mouth indicated
|
|
either a line (or "slit") with no lips or said simply that the orifice
|
|
was small. However, in three cases it was described as a "hole" (or the
|
|
letter "O"), while two subjects believed there was no mouth at all.
|
|
|
|
There was mention of the entities' ears, or absence thereof, in
|
|
25 cases. Eighteen said there was nothing visible. Three noticed a
|
|
cavity in the side of the being's head, and six others described some
|
|
manner of ear lobe or protrusion.
|
|
|
|
ENTITY GARMENTS
|
|
|
|
Surprisingly, in 24 cases (55 percent of the 44 reporting on the
|
|
presence of garments) the subject alluded to a "robe," "cloak" or "cape"
|
|
on at least one entity. These were nearly always worn by beings seen
|
|
only onboard a vehicle and perceived as leaders.
|
|
|
|
Ever popular, however, has been the (loose-fitting) "jumpsuit"
|
|
or (form-fitting) "wetsuit," one or the other seen in 23 cases.
|
|
|
|
Disconcerting by our mores, in 14 cases certain entities (always
|
|
in lesser roles) were said to be naked. This might be a misperception in
|
|
some instances, in that certain light-colored, tight-fitting suits are
|
|
apparently almost the same color as the entity's skin.
|
|
|
|
Basic black (or dark without a color specified) was the garb
|
|
indicated in 21 cases. Conversely, 18 spoke of a white outfit. Silver
|
|
(or "shiny") was identified in six, while bluish silver (or bluish grey)
|
|
and brown were each mentioned in another four.
|
|
|
|
Insignias and accessories were not uncommon, but neither was any
|
|
one type predominant. Nine subjects noticed some type of emblem on a
|
|
jump-suit-type garment, usually identified only by its basic shape. A
|
|
belt was seen in four cases and a sash in two. Also, two entities
|
|
displayed a metallic pin at the neck of their robes, while one was
|
|
adorned with a necklace.
|
|
|
|
ENTITY MOTION
|
|
|
|
Certain entity types seem to always walk -- in the subject's
|
|
home, outdoors, and onboard the ship -- whereas others are seen only in
|
|
a "gliding" mode or other form of levitation. Many cases involve both
|
|
walking and levitating -- by the same or separate beings.
|
|
|
|
In 31 cases a being walked. In 21 of those no other form of
|
|
locomotion was ever apparent, but in the other ten the same or some
|
|
other entity levitated at some point. In all, gliding or other
|
|
levitation by an entity was present in a total of 25 cases.
|
|
|
|
Three subjects described a being's shuffling motion, not
|
|
specifying whether this was on or above the floor/ground. And two
|
|
indicated a "jerky" motion.
|
|
|
|
SUMMARY
|
|
|
|
Any one transcript -- stemming from hypnosis or a conscious-
|
|
recall interview -- is necessarily suspect:
|
|
|
|
- Fantasies and frauds have haunted legitimate UFO research for
|
|
more than 40 years.
|
|
|
|
- A majority of the cases in this study did not involve carte
|
|
blanche subjects. That is, they had read at least one or two
|
|
best-selling books related to abductions.
|
|
|
|
- Some persons are more readily and deeply hypnotized than
|
|
others, and some hypnotists might be more adept at eliciting
|
|
factual memories than others.
|
|
|
|
That said, and within the confines of 95 cases, the author has
|
|
been impressed by replications of certain details not previously
|
|
published or even widely discussed. When, for example, an entity is
|
|
said to have an unpleasant odor -- described by one subject as "musty,"
|
|
by another as "like wet newspapers," and by a third as "like wet
|
|
cardboard" -- one must sit up and take notice.
|
|
|
|
The second part of this report will center on the "leader of the
|
|
pack" as well as various types of entity communications and human-like
|
|
behaviors; restraining and altering the subject's consciousness; samples
|
|
taken from and pain felt by the subject, sexual elements; and physical
|
|
aftereffects.
