The modern UFO phenomenon has increasingly come to embrace the ancient astronaut theory, as well as material that finds its first expression in science fiction, fantasy, and horror literature. These articles explore the connections between the various facets that make up the UFO phenomenon in its current form.
Alien Abduction at the Outer Limits
The specific descriptions given by Barney Hill in his February 22, 1964 hypnosis session and thereafter all parallel elements found in the three episodes of The Outer Limits airing between February 3 and 17 of that same year. The evidence shows that the material needed to fashion, unconsciously, a detailed alien abduction scenario was readily available to Barney Hill between February 3 and 17, 1964 and is the most likely source for the specific details of his hypnotic statements. |

If treating sightings, abductions, mutilations, and crop circles as distinct events yields productive explanations for each (as skeptics contend), then the UFO phenomenon as a whole may be considered as a modern myth and the Ultra-Terrestrial Hypothesis can be discarded as redundant, though as with phlogiston and unicorns, it cannot be conclusively proven wrong, only unnecessary. |
