Alien Post Preview

 This is going to one of those 'half posts.' A preview to a future post.

I'm currently reading "Intruders: The Incredible Visitations At Copley Woods" by Budd Hopkins. Budd is an OG legend in the alien abduction/UFO world. An artist by trade, he started writing about UFO's after having an experience himself. He wrote an article in some New York newspaper and began receiving hundreds and hundreds of letters from people who had encounters with aliens or think the may have been abducted or had missing time episodes. Thus began his new career as a researcher and author about the UFO phenomenon. His main book is called "Missing Time" which is one of the most prominent UFO books out there. (I read it and I will discuss it further when I make my post). 

I'm about halfway done with "Intruders" and is even better than I thought it would be. Creepy is an understatement. There's one story in there that I just cannot get out of my head and I feel like I have to share it somewhere (my wife simply cannot hear anymore alien stories from me anymore and I don't blame her. They are beyond disturbing). Now keep in mind, this was just one story on one page of one 400 plus page book. It was a section of a section. 

So this book is largely about ongoing visitations, missing time episodes, abductions and other disturbing things happening to one woman/family in New York. A bizarre fact about the abduction phenomenon is that the aliens seem to target specific people and their families over and over for years and years. Basically their whole lives. In this instance, the main woman in question wrote to Hopkins that she thinks she had been abducted before. Once they start investigating and looking into it, they find out that her parents and sisters have had abduction/missing time experiences, and even her little children. (Among many, many bizarre things, they all have identical scoop like scars in identical spots on their legs that no one can explain). 

When this woman, Kathie, got pregnant, she immediately started getting these weird phone calls, every single Wednesday at the same time. She would pick up the phone and hear what she called robotic moaning and static on the other end. She said it was super bizarre, not quite human sounding. There would be no breaks, no breathing, and it would just go on and on, not even remotely pausing to listen. It didn't matter if she talked or not, it would just go on and on making these noises. As inhuman as it was, she said there was a weird emotionality to it. Like she could tell if it was mad or sad or happy. It didn't seem like a recording. She had her parents and friends answer the phone sometimes and it would be the same thing. It would go as long as they kept the line open. 

She eventually got so fed up with it that she changed her number to an unlisted one. The week she changed it, she got a call from this thing on a Monday, the only time it ever called on a day other than Wednesday, and it sounded angry. After that phone call, they came again every single Wednesday, the same thing, until she gave birth. Then the calls completely stopped.

She gave birth to a little boy who was fairly normal, except for the fact that as a three year old, he didn't speak. He just make these sort of odd sounding groans and moans. The author says that one day when he was finishing up a session with Kathie, she very hesitantly mentioned to the authors female colleague that the sounds that her son made, the moans and groans, sound eerily similar to what the phone calls sounded like...

Creepy! Again, this is just one anecdote in one section of one chapter of one book. If this tickles your fancy, you will love my upcoming alien post.

That's all for today, check back soon!
