- OK, you're right that most of the earliest reports of abductions
- were made by troubled people. But in most cases the people were
- troubled because of the abductions. The abductions came first,
- then the troubles. These people came forward for help in
- dealing with the things that had happened or were happening to
- them.
-
- Even now, the people who are most likely to go public with
- accounts of thier encounters, or more often seek out help and
- then are "discovered", are those who are very troubled by it all
- and are often suffering from PTSS. Thier "trouble" is not the
- cause of the encounters, the encounters are the cause of thier
- "trouble".
-
- The majority of people who have had encounters, usually for most
- or all of thier lives, are not uneducated. And, yes, many are
- only now beginning to remember these encounters that happened in
- childhood, and often from then up until now. There are far more
- of them then you are likely to ever know. They are very
- reluctant, for the most part, to talk to anyone about thier
- experiences.
-
- The reason they are not at liberty to discuss this openly is that
- many, if not most, of them are very well educated, well adjusted
- individuals who don't dare to let it be known that they have had
- encounters with aliens. Why? Because they cannot risk thier
- jobs, thier careers, and the well being of thier families by
- doing so. If it were not for the same attitude that you exhibit
- here, maybe, just maybe, they would feel free to discuss this
- openly.
-
- I know what I'm talking about because I know many of these people
- and have spent hours chatting with them. They are not prone to
- hallucinations, or stupid, or looking for attention, or any of
- the things that you seem to think. They simply need to talk to
- someone about the things that have happened to them. Many do not
- even feel free to discuss this with thier own families. Through
- the internet they can maintain some privacy and still speak
- freely of the events in thier lives.
-
- It's a very sad thing when fine, upstanding people, are afraid to
- tell the truth in the open because of ridicule, loss of thier
- jobs or reputations, etc.
