ABDUCTED
A human or an animal that's been captured by an alien.

ABDUCTIONS
The abductees have in almost every case been studied by alledged aliens. They performed surgical operations, collected sperm, ova samples and tissues of all kinds. And in some cases an implant could be found.

ABDUCTION EXPERIENCE CLASSIFICATION
By: Richard D. Butler
The following is a brief description of the most commonly reported abduction experience types. It is intended to provide a standard of classification in abduction research.

[AE-1] Lucid Dream
These are lucid dream experiences generated internally by the subject's subconscious. There is no human/ET interaction at any level. They are usually grandiose in nature and lack a logical progression.

[AE-2] Techno/Telepathic Lucid Dream
These are lucid dream experiences internally generated by external forces. It is ET in origin and accomplished by technologically enhanced psychic intrusion of the subject's subconscious. The subject reports the disassociation or collapse of a normal dream and the insertion of a scenario or message which enhances certain ideals or beliefs. If the subject awakens immediately afterward, they report a circle of glowing whitish-colored energy on the ceiling, approximately 2-3 feet in diameter, with a shaft of the same energy slowly retracting back into the circle. This shaft is approximately 3-6 inches in diameter and 2.5-4 feet long.

[AE-3] Psi/Bio Energy Field Extraction
This experience involves the extraction of a conscious energy field from the subject's body. It should not be confused with naturally occurring OOBE phenomena, as separation is externally induced. The technology employs the use of a white or bluish-white colored extraction beam. Subjects usually describe a feeling of deep penetration of this beam throughout their body, followed by the sensation of an irresistible or attractive force. The extracted field maintains cohesion and is capable of perceiving stimuli at a greatly enhanced level. Perceptions include 360 degree sight and sensory feedback at the molecular and even atomic level. Experiences seem to focus around communications and reinsertion of the bio-field into a humanoid body other than the original. This type of abduction accounts for the severe missing time memory failure in some cases.

Since the subject's brain is not physically present, the memories are not hard-written. There does appear to be a shadow memory effect that can retain the memories of the events in some type of energy memory matrix within the subject's bio-field. Full understanding of this process could lead to breakthroughs in education and learning technologies.

[AE-4] Physical Abduction
This is the physical removal of a subject from their environment to an ET environment. The subject is first tranquilized to reduce possible injury to either side. These abductions follow a very strict military-like protocol. Subjects are transported via a small shuttle, lifting beam or direct transfer. Direct transfer utilizes a hyper-dimensional tunnel. It will appear as a large brilliant white energy gate. The subject steps through the gate and is instantly aboard the craft. The nullification of nuclear repulsive forces in solid objects is also often reported. This allows the subject to physically pass through solid objects. Once onboard, the person is subjected to various physical tests and procedures. The main area of interest is in genetic experiment ation. Reports of sperm and ovum extraction are quite common. After these procedures are performed, subjects are returned to their original location unharmed. A screen memory is then inserted into the their subconscious. This slightly shifts the reality recalled by the abductee but never erases the event entirely. This distinguishes them from [AE-3].

[AE-5] Past Life Recall
These experiences are the least reported and the most interesting in terms of their implications. They appear to represent events in the experience of an ET life form. Subjects relate being in an underground military facility, sometimes on Mars, the Moon and even under the Earth's oceans.

Memories of being onboard a spacecraft and other ET environments are also recalled. What is so interesting is that the subject views this not from an Earth human perspective but from that of an ET. This suggests two very interesting possibilities. A.) During telepathic communication some memories are subconsciously transferred. B.) The subject is recalling actual past life memories of their own.

This second possibility opens the door to much speculation. It suggests that part of the abduction phenomena may be a massive and covert reconnaissance operation. It may also explain why the Greys have said they have the right to do what they do. If abductees actally are souls that have been transferred from the ET environment to Earth, then technically they would not be abducting human beings, but rather volunteer Ets.

ACCET
The Academy of Clinical Close Encounter Therapists. Headed by Richard Boylan, PhD. and Leo Sprinkle Ph.D. - 2806 'O' Street, Suite 3 Sacramento, CA. 95816 Accet is, 'A federally recognized non-profit international educational organization designed to educate therapists and foster cross-communication about the exploding phenomenon of persons reporting extraterrestrial encounters.' Quote from Richard Boylan, from the press release in The Mufon Journal, December 1994.

ADAMSKI, GEORGE
Famous and much vilified UFO contactee of the 1950's. Adamski was born in Poland on 17th April 1891. His parents emigrated to the United States in 1893.

He claims to of been taken aboard spaceships, seen cities on the 'dark side of the moon', met humans from Mars, Venus and Saturn. He also claims that he was told that all the planets in our solar system are inhabited.

However he also produced a large quantity of photos of these craft and some but not all have been proved to be hoaxes.

In 1954 researcher Thomas Eickhoff attempted to bring him to Federal Court so that he could prove by use of the testimony of the two scientist who Adamski claimed had witnessed one of his alleged trips into space. The attempt failed because the Court ruled that the subject of UFOs was considered Maximum Security by the CIA.

AGHARIANS - (OR AGHARTIANS)
A group of Asiatic or Nordic humans who, sources claim, discovered a vast system of caverns below the region of the Gobi desert and surrounding areas thousands of years ago, and have since established a thriving kingdom within, one which has been interacting with other-planeatary systems up until current times. Vast cavern systems below Tibet allegedly link the Agharti systems of central Asia to "Snakeworld", a multi-leveled cavern system under the southwestern slopes of the Himalayas where the "Nagas" dwell, according to Hindu legend.

ALF
Acronym for Alien Life Forms.

ALIEN BASES
These bases alledgedly exist in the four corners area of Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and Nevada. Six bases were described in the 1972 papers, all on indian reservations and all in the four corners area. The base near Dulce was one of them.

ALPHA-DRACONIANS
Reptilian beings who are said to have established colonies in Alpha Draconis. Like all reptilians, these claim to have originated on Terra thousands of years ago, a fact that they use to 'justify' their attempt to re-take the earth for their own.

ALIEN BASES
There are four alien bases in the United States. One in Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Nevada. In 1972 there were six bases and they all was on indian reservations.

ALIEN RACES
These are often talked about in books, Publications and on this discussion group. [Much of this material is high speculative.]

ALLAN HILLS 84001
The oldest martian metorite to date. It was found in Antarctica were it crashed down for about 3,9-4,1 billion years. Earlier this year astronomers from Manchester University and scientists from the American Museum of Natural History released the news about the meteorite and that they had found organic materials in it. All theories about life on the red planet now seemed to be true, though it wasn't little green men the proof of life in universe was confirmed. This discovery has given birth to new theories about life on earth developed from a martian meteorite. The age of the meteorite matches the time when scientists have estimated the life begun on earth, for about 3,5-4,1 billion years ago.

ALLO

Similar to the Saurians or Reptiloids, yet being hominoid creatures with reptilian AS WELL AS amphibian-like features and are semi-aquatic in nature. May have once lived on land, yet became more aquatic over the centuries. 'They' have been encountered near swampy regions, rivers, etc., and have been known to attack people without being provoked. It is interesting that some types of Greys AND Reptiloids are believed to be semi-aquatic, having webbed fingers and toes (Draconian).

ANAKIM
Also referred to the 'Els', short for 'Elder Race' or simply as the Giants. Referred to in ancient Hebrew tradition, this race is allegedly tied-in with a branch of ancient humans who broke-off from mainstream humanity because of their vast size which had developed over the centuries, possibly as a result of a genetic anomaly.

ANDERSON, GERRY
Gerald Anderson is the man responsible for one of UFOlogies biggest rows in years.

In 1990 Gerald Anderson came forward to tell the world that he had been a witness to the highly dubious Plains of San Agustin crash case. His story seemed to involve lots of details, he named dates, times, places and names.

Some heated debates raged over this story for many years with the Randle camp proving systematically each part of Andersons testimony to be hoax, and each time the Freidman camp coming out with ever increasingly unbelievable explanations for the errors in the testimony. Andersons names didn't match, dates were confused, explanations were confusing.

Just when the Anderson story had been almost completely destroyed along came a 'diary' which Anderson had 'found' which backed up all parts of his story. This revived the Friedman camp for a short while until the Randle camp with thorough investigation proved that the diary too was a fraud. The paper on the diary proved that indeed it was around 1947,the time of the crash, however the ink used was not available until the mid 1970's!

Eventually the Friedman camp conceded and his is book Crash at Corona, Friedman added a small preface informing the reader that the testimony of Gerald Anderson was no longer completely reliable.

ANDREASSON, BETTY
Betty Andreasson Luca, was a well known abductee, UFO writer and conference speaker.

She was born on January 7th, 1937 and was married to her second husband Bob Luca. She claims that she has been the victim of several abductions and believes the 'grey' aliens that abduct her are biological robots controlled by higher human-like entities.

She also claims that the skin samples taken during abduction are used by the aliens in the study of melanin production. Books: The Andreasson Affair (1979), The Watchers, The Watchers II (1995).

ANTARCTICAN
This is allegedly a secret area of operations for both human and reptilian beings. It is said by some that Aryan-Nazi scientists actually developed disk-shaped aircraft capable of very advanced aerial performance, and that swastika's have been seem on a few aerial disks. They may be piloted by a 'pure-bred' blond, blue-eyed Aryan race.

ANUNNAQI
Anunnaqi are Nubians with 9 ether hair, dark reddish brown with dark brown eyes. They are of such an advanced state that if you confronted one with a weapon they would let you shoot them rather than harm you. Originally 10,000 were left here to help guid humans. These "very high" live to be quite old according to you time-or what you'd call old age. 1,000 years is not unrealistic to the Anunnaqi, for 1,000 years of earth time is one day to the Anunnaqi. And one day of the Anunnaqi is 1,000 years in your time. The first cloned Greys were good ones- they ere the helpers of the Anunnaqi. The Greys were created vegetarians and were given high metabolism to offset heat-loss.

APRO
Acronym for Aerial Phenomena Research Organization. APRO, now deactivated, was the worlds longest running UFO group. Founded in 1952 by Jim and Corel Lorenzen. Their headquarters was in Tucson, Arizona

AQUARIUS, PROJECT
AQUARIUS A Top Secret project that was started in 1953 and was set up to accumulate as much data as possible about alien life forms and to distribute the collected information to the relevant projects. Its existence was revealed by WILLIAM MOORE when he released three pages of a "Project Aquarius Executive Briefing Document" to the public.

Unfortunately for Moore, this document is now thought to be a fake due to its sloppy presentation (there was a logo on the cover which looked like it had been drawn on with a felt-tip pen) as well as missing background detail. Moore was asked to release more proof that Project Aquarius existed, but he refused, saying that the burden of proof is on those saying that the document is a hoax.

AREA 33
Technical area at Los Alamos National Laboratories is the most remote area in the main Los Alamos complex. It was once used for explosive tests and is now employed for a variety of low intensity scientific activities, including the area's most obvious feature, a impressive NRAO radiotelescope. Apart from an internet report of alien artifacts being kept below ground at TA-33, there appears to be nothing particularly secret or unusual about the site.

AREA 51 (DREAMLAND, Data Repository Establishment And Maintenace Land)
Area 51, also called Dreamland, is located at a corner of the Nevada Test Site, where highly classified national defense projects have been conducted for over 4 decades.

Such spy planes as the U-2 and the SR-71 were developed there, as were the Stealth Aircraft and the technology associated with the Strategic Defense Initiative ("Star Wars").

In 1984 a curious, unexplained item appeared on the defense budget next to the SR-71. It said simply "Aurora". The indication was that Aurora, whatever it was, was being built, as was the SR-71, by the Lockheed Corporation, with Rockwell International's Rocketdyne division responsible for the engines.

The following year residents of southern California and other areas, including Northern Europe, began hearing earthquake like rumbles and seeing extraordinary flying objects moving at several times the speed of sound. The craft looked like giant triangles. By 1990 reporters for "Aviation Week & Space Technology", had become convinced that a "quantum leap in aviation" had taken place under conditions of great secrecy.

Government officials denied that the Aurora project even existed, but anyone willing to take the Nevada back roads to Area 51 could observe almost nightly aerial performances.

Area 51 is the site where Robert Lazar claimed that the US Government had him working on back engineering captured alien spacecraft.

ARNOLD, KENNETH
The man who's sighting of 9 'disc' shaped objects on June 25th 1947 over the Cascade Mountains, Washington coined the phrase 'Flying Saucer'

Few people are aware that he had a second sighting on 29th July 1947, when he saw 20-25 small brass coloured objects. These objects came within 400 yards of his plane as he was flying over the La Grande Valley, Oregon.

Abbreviation for Air Technical Intelligence Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base - Dayton, Ohio. This was the controlling agency for Project Blue Book. In a 1948 Top Secret estimate, ATIC concluded that UFOs were Interplanetary spaceships.

ATLANS
These are humans, usually described as being benevolent by comparison to other groups, who are said to inhabit vast and complex cavern-cities beneath southern Brazil and surrounding regions. The term 'Atlantean' or 'Atlan' in reference to these races, has been placed upon them because of the fact that these cavern networks along the east coast of Brazil were reportedly once a part of the antediluvian 'Atlantean' empire. The present inhabitants have no direct GENETIC relation to the ancient 'Atlantean' society which is said to have controlled these cavern systems several millennia ago, but are referred to as 'Atlanteans' simply because they are descendants of those who re-discovered and inhabited the ancient Atlan installations.
