and where we may go at our expense, never to return to the present? Are these races only semi-human, so that in order to maintain contact with us, they need cross-breeding with men and women of our planet? Is this the origin of the many tales and legends where genetic plays a great role: the symbolism of the virgin in occultism and region, the fairy tales involving human midwives and changelings, the sexual overtones of the flying saucer reports, the Biblical stories of intermarriage between the LORD'S angels and terrestrial women, whose offspring were giants? From that mysterious universe are higher beings projecting objects that can materialize and dematerialize at will? . .. There is nothing to support these assumptions, and yet, in view of the historical continuity of the phenomenon, alternatives are hard to find unless we deny the reality of all the facts, as our peace of mind would indeed prefer"? We are very sensitive to the fact that the material examined in this chapter may disturb many. In this chapter we have endeavored to present a balanced view on the question of alien abductions. However, we ourselves can neither confirm nor refute the occurrence of these alleged alien encounters. At this time the only evidence for these alien encounters is the testimony of the abductees and the experts who have studied them. And yet, to date no one has provided an alternate explanation that can account for the features of these abduction reports. So what is going on? John Mack posed this question at the 1992 M.LT. Abduction Conference: "If what these abductees are saying is happening to them isn't happening, what is?" This is a question that to date, no one has provided an adequate alternative explanation. However, if in the months and years to come the occurrence of alien abductions is con-firmed, we believe that there are historical precedents which may account for the composite view of interdimensional beings that traverse the space-time domain, manifest physically, then interact, abduct and even interbreed with mankind. We also believe that the ultimate agenda of these alien encounters will accompany a global intrigue that may affect the lives of everyone in the years to come. 74
