53 examination’ to which abductees are said to be subjected, often accompanied by sadistic sexual manipulation, is reminiscent of the medieval tales of encounters with DEMONS. It makes no sense in a sophisticated or technical or biological framework: any intelligent being equipped with the scientific marvels that UFOs possess would be in a position to achieve any of these alleged scientific objectives in a shorter time and with fewer risks” (ibid., p.11). Dr. Vallee Dr. Vallee concludes, “The UFO beings of today belong to the same class of manifestations as the entities that were described in centuries past.” That is, DEMON MANIFESTATIONS! John Ankerberg and John Weldon point out that the typical UFO encounter may include the following paranormal aspects -- the subject himself or herself has an occult background; dramatic manipulation of mental experiences; poltergeists; the experience of supposedly “missing time”; mental terror; profound and drastic personality changes in the person involved; social stigma; after-effects and continuing contact with the entities; an initial “intuitive sense of tremendous fear and frequently evil; and numerous correlations to ancient PAGANISM which ‘haunt’ the relationship.” A vivid example of one who experienced UFO contacts is Whitley Strieber. He wrote of his personal experience with UFO entities: “T became entirely given over to extreme dread. The fear was so powerful that it seemed to make my personality completely evaporate. . . ‘Whitley’ ceased to exist. What was left was a body and a state of raw fear so great that it swept about me like a thick, suffocating curtain, turning paralysis into a condition that seemed close to death. . . . I died, and a wild animal appeared in my place.” Strieber went on, “JI had an awful feeling. I felt their presence. It was palpable. Most upsetting, I could smell them.” They smelled, he said, like sulfur. He went on to describe one of the alien entities as “what seemed almost to be a demon with a narrow face and dark, slanted eyes. It spoke to me in a high, squeaky voice.” He wondered about their motives and purposes in contacting him. He asked himself: “Why were my visitors so secretive, hiding themselves behind my consciousness? I could only conclude that they were using me and did not want me to know why. Frankly, I found this idea deeply disturbing. What were the visitor’s motives? . . . What if they were dangerous? Then I was terribly dangerous because I was playing a role in acclimatizing people to them.” Strieber eventually realized he was involved in a battle of life and death. He declared, “So far the word demon had never been spoken among the scientists and doctors who were working with me.” He asserted, “Alone at night I worried about the legendary cunning of demons.” He met many others who have had similar hellish experiences with the UFO “entities.” He declared, “Those who have had the experience must learn to ride a sort of oe a: ne Pn) working with me.” demons.” He met “entities.” The Harrowing Story of Whitley Strieber psychological razor.” Declare Ankerberg and Weldon regarding people like Strieber:
