Читать книгу NON-HUMAN CONTACT - Marcel Polte - Страница 8

The phenomenon of so-called »abductions by extraterrestrials« is truly not an easy one. Most scientists would not touch that subject. Neither can it be reliably reproduced in the laboratory, nor are there any measuring methods that would provide unambiguous information about the content of truth in statements made by those allegedly affected. As a result, there are relatively few publications with a scientific claim to the abduction phenomenon.

As a journalist who works for a large media company, you usually do not come into contact with the topic, since it plays virtually no role in reporting, in the world of politics and science. If a report on this should find its way onto the news ticker, it is all too easy to dismiss it as an isolated case, a tragic example of how delusions can bring a person to the edge of existence. I, too, had heard very little about abductions when in June 2007 I founded the citizens’ initiative Exopolitik Deutschland (Exopolitics Germany), which, among other things, promotes the dissemination of reliable information about the UFO phenomenon and the associated aspects. But that was about to change. In April 2009, I attended the X-Conference, a UFO conference in Washington D.C., together with my Danish exopolitics colleague Frederik Uldall. At the final press conference in the venerable National Press Club, a surgeon named Roger Leir appeared alongside Apollo astronaut Edgar Mitchell and Milton Torres, a former air force pilot with UFO experience. He reported that he had located foreign objects in the bodies of several suspected abductees.

The man on the CNN camera to my right and I looked at each other in amazement when Dr. Leir began to present photos. They showed strange objects, only a few millimeters to one centimeter in size, which Dr. Leir had operated out of the bodies of those affected. He had already surgically removed a total of seven such objects, he explained. They were all surrounded by an indeterminable biological substance - difficult to cut with a scalpel.

Then a scientist named Dr. Alex Moser stepped up to the microphone. The expert for material analysis had carried out various measurements on one of the objects. When Dr. Moser gave a detailed account of his findings, the CNN reporter, who had appeared astonishingly calm up to then, also dropped his jaw: The object had obviously emitted radio signals as long as it was in the body, namely on the frequencies 14.749650 Megahertz and 17.68658 Gigahertz. Subsequently, Dr. Moser showed results of an energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy.

The images revealed strange crystalline structures and nanotube-like carbon filaments that do not occur in nature. According to Dr. Moser, such structures must have been artificially produced with considerable effort. »So we assume that we are dealing with something technical with this object«, was the cautious conclusion of the materials analysis expert. Further investigations are undoubtedly necessary to find out more.

When Dr. Moser finally stepped down from the lectern, he left all the journalists gathered in the room, including myself, speechless.

By chance, a few hours after the end of the press conference, I suddenly found myself in front of the ZDF (German public television) foreign studio in Washington. »Shouldn’t the German public be informed that such research results are being discussed in America«, I asked myself. Of course, it was clear to me that the chance to sell my film material about »alien implants« here was virtually zero. Nevertheless, I spontaneously decided to try and rang the doorbell. I was politely welcomed.

But I did not even get to put in my tape. Because when I explained what it was about, I was just as politely complimented out again with the sentence »We’ll pass it on to Mainz [location of the ZDF studio].« The research results of Doctors Leir and Moser were probably not even revealed to the Mainz men [cartoon characters created by the ZDF].

I had expected that reaction of my ZDF colleagues. Nevertheless, this incident revealed to me the difficult situation that abduction research is in: there is virtually no media coverage of it, because there are too few tangible facts to be found on the radar of a mainstream colleague. And once they do show up, it’s better to ignore them. Because they do not fit into the prevailing social consensus in Germany that there are no UFOs, no aliens and therefore of course no kidnappings by the latter. And if someone should seriously claim to have been abducted, then he or she must certainly have lost his marbles.

Pensively, I returned to Germany. How would it be possible to take away people’s fear of the »maximum strangeness« and prepare them for the possibility of making contact with extraterrestrials while at the same time, quite a number of affected people report disturbing, traumatizing, sometimes extremely painful experiences? From now on I followed the developments in the field of abductions with greater attention and increasingly worked on them. But at first I had a hard time with a publication. Only after the death of Dr. Roger Leir in 2014 did I decide to publish his presentation from the National Press Club in German. The entire video, which lasts about half an hour and contains the research results mentioned above, is now viewed almost 280,000 times on YouTube.*

From then on, letters from those allegedly affected began to accumulate. I receive e-mails almost every month from people who claim to have had such experiences. They are people of different origins, religions and ages, people with all possible levels of education and from all possible social classes. The only thing these people have in common is their conspicuous reticence about what they have experienced. Most of the time, they do not want their experiences to go public.

This circumstance alone should alert sceptics, who often accuse alleged abductees of merely trying to attract attention with their strange stories. Almost always, the people who write to me merely indicate what happened to them without going into detail, and ask me if I can’t find someone who knows something like that.

For years, I didn’t really know how to deal with such requests. Although the UFO research organization MUFON-CES had a psychologist on its team for a while who dealt with patients, they had to fill out a long questionnaire beforehand – a hurdle that only a few patients were willing to take, since they were not interested in becoming a study object, but simply wanted to process their experiences. I was accordingly happy when one day the hypnotherapist Dr. Marcel Polte contacted me.

Since then, I have a permanent contact person for inquiries from possible abductees and have been able to forward several cases to him. Dr. Polte is more familiar with the international state of affairs in Germany than almost anyone else and has excellent connections with research organizations in Germany and abroad. With this book he makes an important contribution to the scientific debate in this field. Not only does he summarize the key findings from the specialist literature, he also supplements them with current case studies from his own practice and gives consideration, for example, to the possible motives of the strangers or the paranormal aspects associated with them, without being dogmatic.

You don’t necessarily have to agree with every thought one hundred percent to find his book interesting. As the author convincingly presents, weighty reasons speak for the reality of the abduction phenomenon, and it is time to acknowledge and explore this.

Like hardly any other phenomenon, abduction experiences also point to a larger, unknown reality that we are just beginning to understand. May this book help us to be more open to the mysteries of the universe, to transform our primal fear of the foreign into curiosity, and to prepare ourselves for the moment when we all realize that we are not alone in the universe.
