绑架现象研究[文集]

“UFO 绑架并不是一种罕见的现象，据估计有 300 万美国人发生过。与报告有非常精确的对应关系。被绑架者表现出相对较少的精神病理学。作者结合催眠和呼吸技术作为治疗方法帮助被绑架者面对和穿越可怕的经历记忆。绑架事件和外星人的描述相对统一。一些绑架事件伴随着微妙和高度有力的物理证据。这些事件的后果通常是高度创伤性的. 但是在处理这些恐怖事件时，被绑架者通常能够发现这些事件是转变的源泉，将它们联系到他们自己之外。” 来自 UFO 绑架现象：它对人类意识的转变意味着什么？作者：医学博士 John E. Mack

巴德·霍普金斯 (Budd Hopkins) 是世界知名的艺术家、作家和 UFO 绑架研究先驱。在调查了 700 多起案件后，他现在领导了一个非营利性的科学研究和支持组织 Intruders Foundation。总的来说，他的三本书，Missing Time, 1981, Intruders, 1987 和 Witnessed, 1996，被研究人员和怀疑论者广泛认为是迄今为止出版的关于绑架现象的最具影响力的系列书籍。这些作品、霍普金斯的讲座和他的其他演讲将许多其他著名的研究人员——大卫·雅各布斯、约翰·卡彭特、伊冯娜·史密斯和约翰·麦克等人带入了这个非凡的专业领域。

Alien Abduction? Junk Science Calls It Sleep Paralysis

Budd Hopkins

Junk Science is the proper designation for the many outlandish, irrelevant and unsupported hypotheses debunkers have employed over the years to dismiss UFO abductions (some of which I will discuss in future articles). Non-junk Science – the real thing, based upon the scientific method – begins by amassing and studying all the accurate, relevant data before any serious hypothesizing takes place.

Ethical Implications of the UFO Abduction Phenomenon

Budd Hopkins

I will concentrate instead on what information we can derive from their accounts that might bear on the question of the moral nature of the UFO phenomenon. Are the UFO occupants, as they are described by their abductees, good or bad, friends or foes, or is the situation just not reducible to such terms?

On Witness Intimidation – The Debunker’s Basic Weapon

Budd Hopkins

After decades of dealing with debunkers’ attacks upon anyone reporting UFO abductions, I am still amazed at the ill-informed and often cruel nature of these published assaults. I am not referring here to diatribes against investigators like myself, because, as Harry Truman pointed out, to be in the kitchen involves a certain amount of heat. Instead, I mean attacks against the abductees themselves, the innocent men, women and children who have dared to report their suspicions of ongoing UFO

Patterns of UFO Abductions

Budd Hopkins

“Anyone familiar with the subject is aware that UFO abduction reports almost always include accounts of physical examinations performed inside the craft. The abductee usually lies naked and immobile on a flat table while one or more of a wide variety of physical operations are carried out. There is, however, one virtually universal detail in these procedures that has never, to my knowledge, been commented upon in the literature: the abductee never seems to feel any degree of shame or embarrassment about his or her nudity.”

Science is Not Always What Science Programs Do: A Response to NOVA’s Program on UFO Abductions

Budd Hopkins

Readers familiar with the writings and lectures of the late Dr. Allen Hynek may recognize in the above title an expanded version of one of his most quoted bon mots, “Science is not always what scientists do.” After viewing the recent Nova program which systematically and outrageously distorted the UFO abduction phenomenon and my work in the field, it’s fair to say that Nova has abandoned its right to be thought of as either objective, balanced, or scientific.

Sean Casteel

Temple University professor David Jacobs, Ph.D., the author of the highly regarded books “The UFO Controversy In America” and “Secret Life,” has spent more than 30 years researching UFOs and alien abduction. But it was only recently that he came to feel he had solved the mystery to his own satisfaction. Finding what he believes to be the answers was not a happy event for Jacobs.

Straight Talk About UFO Abductions: A Typical Abduction Event

David M. Jacobs, Ph.D., International Center for Abduction Research

Abductions are complex series of events and procedures directed by the abductors to passive or controlled abductees. In a typical or common abductions, humans are taken out of their normal environment by aliens.

The Threat, by David Jacobs – Excerpts

David M. Jacobs, Ph.D., Temple University

The critical question still remains: Why are the aliens so secretive? The answer can be found in the motives and purposes of the Breeding Program. Because the fetus must be protected, the most effective method to prevent the abductee from knowing about the pregnancy is to keep it secret from her. In response to Lucy Sanders’s questions one alien was uncharacteristically forthcoming.

A Brief Review of Issues Relating to the Reality of the Abduction Phenomenon

John Mack, M.D.

Since the publication of the hardcover edition of “Abduction”, questions have been raised about the reality of the alien abduction phenomenon. These questions relate to the nature of the physical evidence which accompanies the abduction reports; the clients’ expectations and possible investigator influence; the reliability of memory; the degree to which hypnosis influences the accuracy of memory; and alternatives to the hypothesis that what the experiencers describe is what has occurred. These are questions that can only be answered fully by a great deal more research. This appendix has been added to begin a discussion of these questions… R

A More Parsimonious Explanation for UFO Abduction

Caroline McLeod, Barbara Corbisier, and John E. Mack

A comprehensive commentary published in Psychological Inquiry, An International Journal of Peer Commentary and Review, Vol. 7 No. 2, 1996 We present evidence that abduction experiences cannot be readily explained by constructs such as hypnotic elaboration, masochism, and fantasy proneness. Abduction accounts cannot be dismissed as hypnotic elaboration because approximately 30% of these accounts are obtained without hypnosis. Finally, there is evidence that individuals reporting abduction experiences are not more hypnotizable or fantasy prone than the general population. R

Alien Abduction: Political, Economic, and Religious Implications

John Mack, M.D.

It is not altogether clear to me why we become so attached to our ways of seeing the world. Perhaps a comprehensive scientific paradigm, like any ideology, gives a sense of mastery and power. Mystery and the sense of not knowing are antithetical to the need to maintain control and seem, at times, to inspire such terror that we fear that we might blow apart, like the frog in the Tibetan story when confronted with a universe too vast to comprehend. This might explain why it is the intellectual and political elite in our culture that seems most deeply wedded to perpetuating the materialist view of reality. R

Harvard Professor Takes Alien Abduction Seriously

George Knapp, Las Vegas Mercury, January 30, 2003 (UFO Area)

I first met Dr. John Mack in 1993 at a tiny UFO conference in the Ozarks. The publication of Dr. Mack’s book about alleged alien abductions was still a year away, but the fact that a professor from the Harvard Medical School was taking the phenomena seriously was big news in the UFO field. Mack was an immediate celebrity, although he seemed to wear the mantle with some reluctance.

Letter to Harvard University in defense of Harvard psychiatrist Dr. John Mack

Even if Dr. Mack communicates his personal beliefs regarding these phenomena, or his personal beliefs are known to the patient prior to counseling, his integrity and honesty would have far less damaging effect than a psychiatrist who does not believe in the reality of such experiences or who refuses to consider such a reality when treating a patient. R

Studying Intrusions from the Subtle Realm: How Can We Deepen Our Knowledge?

John E. Mack, M.D.

I want to talk with you about what I have been finding over the past now nearly six years in studying the alien abduction phenomenon. In the context of this meeting I wish to talk particularly about the ways that we know, how we actually know anything. What is the appropriate epistemology for a particular subject?

The Alien Abduction Phenomenon

John Mack, M.D.

An overview published in Noetic Sciences Review, Autumn 1992, two years prior to the publication of “Abduction: Human Encounters with Aliens” Even though over the past 25 years thousands of individuals throughout the United States and in other countries have reported abduction experiences to UFO investigators and mental health pro-fessionals, the phenomenon appears to be more widespread than anyone might have expected. The fact that a phenomenon defies conventional ex-planation, or even challenges our notions of reality, should not permit us to ignore its existence or prevent us from exploring its di-mensions and significance.In this article I describe the basic features of the UFO abduction experience, the impact these experiences have on the abductees, and the implications of the phenomenon for our profession and society. R

The UFO Abduction Phenomenon- What Does it Mean for the Transformation of Human Consciousness

John Mack, M.D.

The author describes how he got into the study of the UFO abduction experience, a bit of the history of the field, the phenomenology of UFO abductions, who the abductees are, his use of nonordinary states of consciousness in working with them, some of the physical evidence involved, what effect being abducted has on the abductees, and his interpretation of the meaning of the experience. UFO abductions are not a rare phenomenon and have been estimated to have occurred to three-million Americans. There is a remarkably precise correspondence to the reports. Abductees exhibit relatively little psychopathology.

Why the Abduction Phenomenon Cannot Be Explained Psychiatrically

John Mack, M.D.

…Even psychosocial or cultural explanations, if they were to include all of the major dimensions of the syndrome, would force us to stretch our notions of the collective unconscious to such a degree that the distinctions between psyche and world, internal and external reality, would be obliterated…

Abduction by Aliens or Sleep Paralysis? (Skeptical)

Susan Blackmore, Skeptical Inquirer Magazine, May/June 1998

A Roper Poll claimed that nearly four million Americans have had certain “indicator” experiences and therefore had probably been abducted by aliens. But a study of 126 school children and 224 undergraduates shows knowledge of aliens is related more to watching television than to having the relevant experiences.  R

Abductions: A Report on the Roper Analysis Data

Geraldo Fuentes, ViewZone Magazine

In the typical “alien abduction,” the victim is paralyzed by some unknown force, taken to a small circular room, and then examined and probed by a number of large-eyed, gray skinned, hairless, short creatures. Tissues and cells are sampled and subcutaneous implants are often installed. R

Abductions: The Boundary Deficit Hypothesis (Skeptical?)

by Martin Kottmeyer, Magonia

As claims about the reality of alien abductions multiply, the assertion is increasingly heard that psychology offers little or no insight into how such experiences could occur if they are unreal. Abductees are normal people.

Abductions: The Truth

John C. Thompson

Until clouded abduction reports are placed in the true paranormal arena they belong, ufologists cannot expect mainstream scientists to seriously investigate UFO sightings. There is no proof that extraterrestrials are kidnapping people. There are tens of thousands of credible anomalous airborne sightings by equally amazing numbers of impressive and reliable witnesses to suggest many UFOs are real. Ufologists need to work with what they have the best chance to scientifically prove.  R

Alien Abduction and Hypnosis

Nick Pope

In a landmark decision, the National Council for Hypnotherapy (NCH) [in the U.K.] has issued a policy statement concerning alien abductions.

What is compelling about abduction cases is the amount of similar, highly detailed information that abductees report. Detailed descriptions of passage to and from the craft, physical procedures and tests, surgical-type instruments, and descriptions of the aliens themselves, come from many different abductees who have never met one another. Until recently these stories were not available in the media. Abductees come from all walks of life, age groups, and ethnic backgrounds.  R

Hypnotised abductees; Seeing truth or building confabulations? (skeptical of hypnosis)

Paul Novak, X-Project

Hypnosis has become a most popular tool in the field of abduction research. The understanding of its intents and abilities by the general public though are still widely relegated to the earliest erroneous notions of its being a trancelike state with suggestability and retrieval of repressed memories being the most noteable of these traits. Research into the validity of hypnosis and its traits has been done for 200 years yet the only truly revealing research has taken place in the last 30 or so odd years.

The Abduction Experience: A Critical Evaluation of Theory and Evidence (PDF format) 

Stuart Appelle, in Journal of UFO Studies

Prevalent hypotheses regarding the etiology of the abduction experience are examined, especially in regard to the existing evidence. Deception, suggestibility (fantasy-proneness, hypnotizability, false-memory syndrome), personality, sleep phenomena, psychopathology, psychodynamics, environmental factors, and event-level alien encounters are each considered as origins of the abduction experience. The data are discussed in terms of what is and is not consistent with theory, the concept of parsimony, and the need for converging lines of evidence in establishing linkages between fact and theory. On the basis of this analysis, it is argued that no theory yet enjoys enough empirical support to be accepted as a general explanation for the abduction experience. The concept of the abduction experience as a multicausal phenomenon is discussed, and suggestions for future research are provided.
