There are some unsettling conclusions reached by
abduction researchers that are rarely mentioned in mainstream UFO
reporting. Abduction researchers suggest, often based on decades of research,
that there may be more going on with most UFO witnesses than simply seeing
something unusual in the sky.
There is a wide continuum of what gets reported as a
UFO. At one end of this spectrum are tiny dots of light making odd motions way
off in the distance, but the source could be something perfectly terrestrial.
On the other end of that same spectrum would be a close up sighting of a
silvery flying saucer hovering silently just above the swing set in the back
yard; which would be very difficult to dismiss as anything other than unknown.
David Marler
Author and researcher David Marler has been calling
the more noteworthy sightings unambiguous UFOs. This implies
something well beyond the tiny dots that make up the majority of the sightings
reports.
Marler says, “I came up with the term unambiguous
UFOs to separate descriptions of large, low-flying, structured aerial
objects from the ubiquitous and ambiguous light in the sky UFO
reports. I believe there is a huge distinction between the two that demands
clarification.”
The late researcher Elaine Douglass collected UFO
reports for MUFON(Mutual UFO Network) for more than a quarter century.
When conducting an investigation she would ask the witnesses the standard set
of questions for any sighting, what time, how big, and so on. She would then do
a follow up interview with deeper, more personal questions, asking them to
describe any unusual personal events. This simply involved asking: “So, what
else, in your whole life, has ever happened to you that you cannot explain?”
More often than not, a big story would emerge. She would hear the unusual
events that would imply some sort of direct contact experiences. What she
concluded was that over half the people who see UFOs are abductees.

This may seem like a bold statement, but it’s very
similar to what other investigators have concluded. Pioneering abduction
researcher Budd Hopkins spoke openly that if someone sees a UFO they are most
probably either seeing it arrive or leave, and there has been a missing time
event covering an abduction. Hopkins has publicly speculated that there are
probably more abductions than there are UFO sightings.
Abduction researcher Dr. David Jacobs said, “There is
a reason for those UFOs in the sky, the phenomenon is far less random than we
had once assumed. If people are seeing UFOs they are quite probably abductees.”
When I asked Jacobs what percentage of people who are
seeing unambiguous UFOs are actually abductees, he replied, “The majority.” We
discussed this and he seemed comfortable with the term majority,
but he felt this was conservative and the real percentage might be much higher.

Abduction researcher and hypnotherapist Yvonne Smith
was asked this same question, What percentage of people who are
reporting an unambiguous UFO sighting are actually abductees? She,
like most everyone I’ve asked, felt it was impossible to come up with an actual
percentage, but was quick to say the majority. She said, “Many of the close-up
sightings will have clues that this was a probable contact experience, things
like distorted or missing time, or a car engine sputtering and mysteriously
stopping.”
Smith noted that someone who has seen a UFO sighting
might experience nightmares, vivid dreams or recurring flashbacks in the weeks
or months afterwords. She feels it is vital that any witness have access to a
qualified therapist if any distressing memories emerge. Both Cero International on the West
Coast and Starborn Support on the East
coast could recommend resources for anyone seeking help.
When abduction researcher Kathleen Marden was asked
the same question, she said she had no way of knowing what that percentage
might be. But she did say, “I can tell you that 67% of the participants in
the 2012
Marden-Stoner Commonalities Study stated that they consciously recalled (not
with hypnosis), the observation of an unconventional craft at less than 1000
feet prior to an abduction.”

This statistic can’t be seen as an indication of a
percentage of whether or not a close encounter witnesses may
have been abducted, but it is interesting. Marden also added that
from her research, she feels anyone with more than one close up sighting of a
craft has most probably had some sort of an abduction experience.
Joe Montaldo
Joe Montaldo is both a contactee and an abduction
researcher. He runs an organization called ICAR (International Community for
Alien Research) with a focus on the abduction phenomenon. Montaldo states that
almost all UFO sightings are meant to be trigger memories, which are designed
to let the witness know something happened.
Montaldo says, “ET never has to show himself to
anybody. There is no need to ever let anyone see a craft, ever,” implying that
their technology is so advanced that making their craft invisible is
effortless, so if anyone actually sees a UFO it is because they want to
be seen for a reason.
Montaldo went on to say, “I don’t think you can see a
UFO if you’re not a contactee. Once you’ve been exposed to their telepathic
fields or whatever they are, that’s how you can see them. It may not be easy
[or possible] for us, but it’s easy for them.”
When asked to give a percentage of how many people who
see a UFO are actually abductees, Joe said, “I’d put it at 100 percent”
Roger Marsh
Roger Marsh, Director of
Communication for MUFON and also editor of their monthly journal, has been
compiling and documenting UFO sighting reports gleaned from the MUFON Case
Management System, which is an extensive database of witness reports. He also
writes about UFOs for The Huffington Post, The Examiner and Open Minds.
When I asked Marsh this same question, “Off the top of
my head, of the really good cases, I would say that maybe five percent of these
would imply some sort of abduction event.” He went on to say he was judging
these accounts by the written testimony of witnesses, where you sometimes get a
clue like missing time within the reports. This is a much more conservative
number than Montaldo’s sweeping 100 percent, but it is telling none the less.
It should be noted that Marsh is not an abduction researcher like the other
folks quoted here, he considers himself a UFO journalist instead.
What seems to be emerging, and this would be very
difficult to quantify, is that the closer the UFO to the witness, the more
likely an abduction event has occurred. The implication being that many, if not
most UFO sightings have a buried abduction component.
