Funny how people seem to think that humans stopped evolving 100,000 years ago when significant evolutionary changes can happen in a few generations.

If you are interested in other interviews by myself and my friends who co-founded the Excluded Middle magazine, please consider buying a copy of Wake Up Down There!, a collection of the best articles, features, news, and reviews from the magazine, which was published from 1992 to 1999.

I knew I shouldn’t have put up that link!

This is also something I have mentioned in other posts, but no, I haven’t really seen anything that I could unequivocally state was a true “unidentified.”

I’ve mentioned this in other posts, but currently (and that is only currently) I tend to think that the literal “aliens” belief is not wholly correct. It is probably more that our preconceptions, imagination, and influence of abduction researchers and popular culture get in the way of what the actual abduction experience entails.

If there are really extra-human entities interacting with us (and I think that there are) we probably can’t get far enough outside of our own views to confront it for what it may actually be. That’s why I think that subjective impressions may be one key to understanding. Look at the DMT research by Rick Strassman, and the history of indigenous and shamanic beliefs, as well as the evolution of abduction scenarios over the past 40 years. We have probably crossed paths many times in the past with something that is not us.

Thanks for the kudos. My naivete at the time of the interview shows through, but that probably helped!

Your comments also bring to mind the Judy Barri case.

I don’t think the authorities were out to get Karla, but they sure were interested in what she was doing, for some reason.

I realize this question is a little off the subject of abductions, but have you ever seen a UFO?

RPJ you may have discovered this but a pdf of Karla Turner’s ‘Masquerade of Angels’ is available on her website: http://www.karlaturner.org

“At this point, I was willing to accept most of the abduction stories as true, at least as many of the witnesses reported them. I still have little doubt that Turner was sincere and honest about her experiences”

What is your current hypothesis?
