110 Screen Memories: Cases of Alien Hoaxing Wr humans sometimes put on UFO hoaxes, what many people don’t know is that aliens also sometimes try to hoax humans! These cases are known as screen memories. Many UFO in- vestigators believe that aliens will sometimes hypnotize witnesses dur- ing an encounter and make them think that they are seeing something other than aliens. The reason for this is uncertain, but most investiga- tors think that it is done by the E.T.s in an attempt to hide themselves from humans, or perhaps to reduce the level of fear that some wit- nesses experience during close encounters. Some of the most com- mon disguises used by the E.T.s include owls, deer, wolves, spiders, clowns—even stuffed animals. One example of aliens disguising themselves happened to UFO abductee Whitley Strieber. During one of his many encounters, he was stunned to see what he thought was an impossibly large owl staring in his bedroom window. Later, under hypnosis, he was able to see through the disguise and observe the aliens in their true form: as short gray beings with large hairless heads and huge dark eyes. The lesson is clear: With aliens and UFOs, things are not always what they appear to be.

The lesson is clear: With aliens and UFOs, things are not always Almost immediately, skeptics attacked the film. Even UFO re- searchers became divided about its authenticity. Believers pointed out that the film was dated to 1947, and there were no inconsistencies to show that this wasn’t the truth. However, skeptics claimed that the film was amateurish and could be easily faked with special effects. The controversy raged for years, with both sides presenting convincing ar- guments for their case. Then in 2006, Ray Santilli said that he believed UFOS AND ALIENS Screen Memories: Cases of Alien Hoaxing what they appear to be.
