Make mention of the emotive words “alien abduction” and most people will have at least some degree of understanding of the concept, even if they aren’t students of the UFO phenomenon. Since the early 1960s, countless individuals—all across the world—have made astonishing claims to the effect that they have been kidnapped and experimented upon in bizarre fashion, by emotionless, dwarfish entities sporting large bald heads and huge, black, insect-like eyes. Those same alleged alien entities have become known as the Grays. Their helpless and terrified victims are the abductees.

A wealth of theories exists to try and explain what may be afoot when darkness sets in and the Grays surface from their hidden lairs. While the skeptics and the debunkers prefer to relegate everything to the realm of nightmarish dreams, sleep disorders, hoaxes, and fantasy, not everyone is quite so sure that is all that is going on. Many UFO researchers believe that the Grays are on a significant and serious evolutionary decline, and that to try and save their waning species, they secretly harvest DNA, blood, cells, eggs, sperm, and much more from the human race. They then use all of this acquired material in sophisticated gene-splicing-style programs to boost their waning bodies and repair their weakened immune systems. There is, however, a much darker theory than that.

Numerous so-called alien abductees—usually when rendered into hypnotic states and regressed to the time of the presumed other-world experience—describe the Grays implanting into their bodies or under the surface of their skin, small, metallic devices. We are talking here about what have become infamously known as “alien implants.” If such an astonishing and controversial claim has even a nugget of truth attached to it, then what might be the purpose of these sinister actions? Some flying saucer sleuths have suggested that the implanted devices allow the aliens to secretly track the movements of the abductees throughout their entire lives—thus permitting their extraterrestrial captors to find them, and extract even more cells and DNA, no matter where the people live or to where they might move.

There is a mind-blowing variant on this controversial theory, however. It is one that suggests that implants are put in place to control the minds of the abductees. And here is where things become decidedly sinister and downright zombie-like. Imagine, if you will, millions of people, all across the planet, and all implanted with highly sophisticated devices fashioned in another world. Imagine, too, that the day finally comes when E.T.—a definitively hostile creature very far removed from Steven Spielberg’s E.T.—decides to take over the planet. But the aliens don’t choose to do so via a massive show of force, or by pummeling our cities and landscapes with terrible, futuristic weaponry in Independence Day-style. No; instead, they get the abductees to do their dirty work for them.

One day—those researchers who adhere to this particularly controversial theory believe—all of those millions of currently dormant implants will be “switched on.” For all intents and purposes, each and every one of the abductees will then suddenly become a mind-controlled, lethal killer. We will wake one morning to frightful scenes of utter carnage on the streets, as the zombified abductees follow their pre-programmed assignments in violent and crazed fashion, which might range from sabotaging missile bases, destroying buildings, and going on wild and rampaging killing sprees. But, it won’t be occurring just here or there. It will be on your very doorstep. It will be on all of our doorsteps. It will be everywhere. And there will be no stopping it.

The world as we know it will be plunged into utter chaos as the implanted—rather than the infected—do their utmost to wipe out the rest of us for their extraterrestrial masters. And, when the war is finally over and humankind has been decimated and practically destroyed, the aliens will then trigger the release of a deadly virus that currently lies dormant within the implants. In quick time, the implanted will all be dead, too, allowing those hostile invaders from the stars to take over without the need for even a single shot from the average, alien ray-gun or laser-weapon. In view of the above, should you one day encounter someone who claims to be an alien abductee, it might be most wise to follow that one word which so often gets shouted, in fear-filled tones, in just about every zombie movie at some point or another: “Run!”
