Sheldon:

I'm interested in hearing David's response as well, but I have a few 
thoughts on that subject. My own personal feeling is that abductionists 
should always recommend psychiatric counseling to their subjects from the 
outset - but should stress that such recommendation is for the purpose of 
PTSD or EAT therapy only and not (necessarily) for the treatment of some 
perceived psychosis. A disclaimer should be signed, and thereafter if the 
patient balks at the recommendation it becomes his/her problem (from a legal 
standpoint).

>From the standpoint of the licensed practitioners, on the other hand, who 
might charge abductionists with practicing medicine without a licence, I 
feel such charges are unwarranted. First, most states do not require a 
license for "counseling", and as long as the abduction therapy is conducted 
strictly within this context, I don't see a conflict. Second, if counseling 
abduction victims is considered "medicine", it might be incumbent upon 
mental health professionals to show where Abduction Syndrome is a "disease." 
THAT could prove interesting....

  No, none at all. Actually an inexpensive plastic lens might tend to produce
more flare, which could show up in the images as bright blobs.

  I've been looking for the book but haven't seen it yet.

  Yes, that has to be considered a serious flaw.

  Seems that there's been a run on OBOLs (orange balls  of light) lately.
  I'll keep looking for her book.

  His echomail hub arbitrarily cut off the echo!? Bryon could probably get it
directly from his REC.

  The following is forwarded from Fido UFO. I've suggested to Lynn that she
and/or her coworker contact you here.

     My co-worker S.W. observed a UFO a year or so ago.  She later had a series
of nightmares which gradually faded.  Recently she had the following dream
which seemed quite realistic and disturbing.

   I knew something was wrong.  Instinctively I ran to one of windows looking
out on the backyard.  An intense panicky feeling overtook me as I saw the huge
dark metal disk hovering outside.  There was no sound and no lights. Fear was
over powering and my mind began to race.  I turned away from the window and
began to run from the room into the hallway.  I thought if I could reach the
front door and could get outside, I would be safe.  For some unknown reason I
knew deep inside my efforts were futile.  No sooner had I stepped into the
hallway then I felt my body began to slow down.  My steps were quickly becoming
labored, my movements slow and awkward.  The panicky feeling was slipping away
and my breathing began to slow.  I stood in the dark hallway, finding myself
needing to lean back against the wall.  Just standing was becoming a difficult
task in itself and against my will, my legs gave out and I slid slowly down to
the floor.  My arms fell limp against my side, even my head felt heavy, so
heavy that when I heard the rustling of other bodies around me, I could not
look up.  I simply stared at my legs outstretched in front of me. I was aware
that several of them were standing around me, others moving about the dark
house.  There was no fear anymore, I could hardly feel anything.  One of them
bent down next to me and laid out several things beside her.  I somehow knew it
was a female even though I could not move and lift my head to see.  She took my
left arm in her hand and I watched as another hand handed her a syringe.  As
terrified of needles as I am, I wanted to cry out, but my mouth wouldn't
worked.  I watched in horror as the needle penetrated the back of my wrist.
Surprisingly there was no pain, not even a prick.  For some reason this
fascinated me.  I felt another hand on me, reaching for my hair.  The one who
had taken my blood, asked me if I was still taking the medicine.  This confused
me somewhat.  I couldn't remember taking anything, but strangely I tried to say
yes.  I couldn't open my mouth, but I heard her say "Good"

     There were a few more details of an intimate nature that S.W. did not wish
to reveal.  She woke up before the exam was complete.  She later examined her
wrist but saw no evidence of a needle insertion. Any comments?

    Budd Hopkins had a kidney problem that was corrected with surgery.  A
potentially difficult situation was caught in time and there are no residual
effects.  Everything is now all right and no other therapeutic regimins are
indicated.  We all held our breath and then breathed a sigh  of relief.

    Peggy, thank you for your kind words about my talk on the KOA program.  As
I remember, that show was on at 4:00 a.m. Denver time.  It was hard to imagine
that anybody would be listening at that time.  It was difficult enough for me
to get up at 6:00 a.m. to do the show.  The best thing about the show for me
was that Barber let me ramble on for much longer periods of time than do most
interviewers. Therefore, I could pick up a head of steam a little. Anyway,
thanks much.

Hi John,
 
What a frightening "dream!"  I would like to see David Jacob's comment 
on realistic dreams, having had a few myself (but nothing as scary as
your friend, John).
 
Did she describe what parts of these creatures she DID see?  Did their 
hands look human or otherwise.  Did she hear the creature speak with 
her ears or in her head?
 
Keep us posted of further details, if possible.
 
Linda

David, I just finished reading Secret Life and wanted to say that you
did a good job in presenting the facts that you have gleaned from your
research. It did not appear that you were leading people toward any
direction of personal bais only presenting the facts. Good job. Now, I
want to ask you something.

If the guy that got drunk was able to resist the greys mind control
and dance around the room. Doesn't that suggest that some kind of
medication could help to resist these things?

What about learning hypnosis as a means of fighting their mind control,
would this help?

You said that you had little data on men that have been abducted after
having had vasectomy's but that women have been abducted even after
having had hystorectomy's. Just to give you one more little piece of
information. I have had numerous sightings (in the sky) since I was a
kid, and you know my most recent experience. I had a vasectomy 15 years
ago.

Finally, I noticed that you have a support group going for abductees,
what is available here in Central Florida?

I'm still hanging out here in no man's land.

Bill

  Not a clue, although I'd have a hard time with the molecular..er..dissolution
idea.
