Statistically the vast majority of things thought up of in Science Fiction never come true. Science Fiction simply has a very poor track record of inspiring or predicting the future of science and technology, for instance, Arthur C. Clark's 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY. Arthur C. Clark even got much of his science wrong, for instance, 2010: ODYSSEY TWO, Jupiter is transformed into a star, but Jupiter is fifty times too small to form a sustainable chain reaction. By nature, people are not logical beings, so much so that they have to take classes in it, then study and practice it afterward for many years before they can begin to master it. So it should come as no surprise to note that humans in general, have an illogical tendency towards selective attention, hence the reason they forget all the numerous failures and remember only the rare "successes" in Science Fiction (or of the history of their favorite religion or political leader or so on). The analogy between UFOs and Science Fiction is a good one, because there is nothing in UFO lore that didn't first appear somewhere else. The "modern day" abduction phenomenon had its roots in mass media as early as the late 20s, years and years before it finally showed up in abduction fairytales... 1929. MYSTERIOUS ISLAND had little aliens with big eyes. June 1935. ASTOUNDING STORIES had a stories about aliens who abducted and placed women on examination tables. September 1946. AMAZING STORIES, Earth Slaves to Space, by Richard Shaver. 1954. KILLERS FROM SPACE. Remarkably, this movie had *every* aspect of "modern day" abductions, with the exception of implants and the color of the aliens skin. There was shown the hypnotic regression, missing time, big eyed aliens, doomsday warnings, and mysterious scars. This many, many years before it started being reported by alleged abductees. 1956. THIS ISLAND EARTH. 1955. INVADERS FROM MARS. Here we see the first instance of implants. All of this was before Betty and Barney Hill had seen aliens exactly like the ones they reported, just 12 days after their aliens had first appeared on the BOLERO SHIELD on THE OUTER LIMITS, and this was before Whitley Streiber popularized it with his, what I clearly recognized as a Science Fiction book, COMMUNION.

All the more reason to read the Stargate Conspiracy by Prince and Picknett. Science is mass ritual sacrifice and Putoff, LaViolette, etc. are just puppets for the secret black-ops behind imperialism. Sure there's a trajectory to this technology but it doesn't end in some sort of physical immortality (unless you buy into the whole Freemason Solar Dynasty b.s. that's been in control since around 9,000 BCE). There's a lot of matrifocal cultures left that spread from the original pgymy-bushmen trance healing tradition. That's the real secret to figuring out communication with aliens.

Maybe that's the objective behind the phenomenon. Glad to see some scientists daring to think outside the box. Maybe that’s the objective behind the phenomenon.
