Have you ever been abducted/seen an ET in your room?

I have seen the film E.T., does that count?  ::)  ;D

Are you kidding?  I saw an alien last night.  He came to me as I slept and told me that Donnie Darko would be starting a thread like this, and that I was to tell him that the Alien thinks he needs to put that pipe away ;D

;D

I was once visited by Joan Rivers dressed as an alien, Spanish Mission-style, and we played scrabble in her bat cave. Does that count?

I can't be abducted by something that doesn't exist.

Not that I know of, but it's possible!

Now, I briefly dated a woman who was X-Files city. Over the course of a few deep conversations, she revealed with solemnity that she not only had been visited by extraterrestrials, but she had been abducted several times since the age of nine.  Furthemore:

a. Extraterrestrials of the "Grey" variety had visited her home throughout her life, sometimes entering through her bedroom closet.
b. Extraterrestrials descended upon her home to visit her brother, who himself was an extraterrestrial.
c. Extraterrestrials abducted her and flew her into outer space where they performed experiments on her.
d. On one such mission the aliens gave her a unilateral tubal ligation, but she did manage to bear a son fertilized in the other ovary. He is terrestrial human as was her ex-husband.
e. Her extraterrestrial brother joined the military at the age of 21 and she has not seen him since. As one of the extraterrestrials working for the military, he is sequestered in a super-secret intelligence program. Neither the military nor the U.S. government will confirm his whereabouts, or even acknowledge his existence.

The funny thing is, when you hear people talking about such experiences on "Coast-to-Coast a.m.," you think they are a bunch of nutjobs. However, when an intimate friend talks of extraterrestrial encounters in a sincere and matter-of-fact manner, the feeling is eerie. It is not that I believed what Sharon was telling me was a fact, but that Sharon believed with all her heart that it was fact. So instead of saying, "Hey lady, you need help!," I asked her more and more questions about this other world of extraterrestrials that she knew and I did not. I found myself between belief and disbelief, the "Twilight Zone," if you will.

I hesitate to mention the other factor. Sharon was African-American. I always thought of alien abductions as "crazy white people sh!t."  Although Sharon had a history of psychiatric issues, including a stint of several months in the notorious Pilgrim State Hospital on Long Island, she was not delusional in general. Her psychiatric history was for depression and suicide ideation, but not delusional thinking. By the time I knew her, she was a very grounded and responsible person with a full-time job and a seven year old son she took excellent care of. She was not otherwise paranoid. She did not walk around with a "tinfoil hat." She merely had elaborate stories of a lifelong relationship with extraterrestrials. My relationship with Sharon died quickly for other reasons, but I'm left with some of the most bizarre stories I have ever heard in my life!
:o

That's really interesting Max.  You're right; UFOs are a "white trash" phoenomenon for the most part; most black people would not admit to experiencing such things.

I have to say, I'm surprised at how skeptical a lot of the Left is about UFOs; it almost seems like more of a hick/military Republican thing, plus the hippies.

OK...here is my story.

I went to bed. I had a strange nightmare.
then I woke up, as if someone had woken me, on top of my bed as if it were jsut made, but across it- not long ways like you normally sleep. 

I could have been sleepwalking.

But it freaked me out. 

I have no opinion as to what happened.

I had that happen once, but not the exact same thing. I went to sleep one night in my bedroom like normally and woke up the next morning on the couch, and I DEFINITELY didn't have any memory of moving.

I find it odd how people will imply the idea of aliens is nuts, to be thought of as something like believing the Earth is flat.  In a Universe with literally BILLIONS of planets, 99% of which we know nothing about, its illogical to think theres another intelligent civilization, and perhaps at least one advanced enough for intergalactic travel?

Yet the idea of a corpreal creator being is perfectly acceptable in our society.  Right.


I agree.

I'm the kind of person that can't believe in something I can't see.  I'm strange like that, I guess.  I've seen no proof aliens and ghosts and goblins exist, so I just can't believe they are real.

Now, if other people believe in them, and think they exist, that's great.  You obviously have something in you that I don't that allows you to see the possibility of it.
