Some 180 people in the Vancouver area believe they’ve been
abducted by aliens. Of those, Mike Strainic of the Mutual
UFO Network says 50 are "highly believable" and a few
involve witnesses.
One woman with a story to tell identifies
herself as Cindy. She says she’s single, is in her late
30s, works in a technical capacity for a large corporation
- and agrees only to a telephone interview. "I like my
job," she says. Ever since she can remember, she has had
episodes in which she has felt other beings near her or
has blacked out for periods of up to several hours. She
says she’s seen tall, slender aliens like the one on the
cover of Whitley Strieber’s book Communion, and short ones
she describes as "worker bees." The summer when she was
seven, she would get up every day at 4:30 am, ride her
bike to a nearby school yard and stand by a bush for two
hours. For five years in her 20s, she had the feeling she
was being visited by creatures almost every night. There
was terror, "something I would not wish on my worst enemy.
"She would wake up with fingerprint-sized bruises all over
he body. Lights, radios and televisions would inexplicably
go on and off at her house. "I was in denial . . . I
thought I was dreaming." Then a friend gave her Strieber’s
book, and she recognized the creatures he described. She
started going to UFO conventions, and met "hundreds" of
people who had the same experiences she did. She believes
the creatures are from another dimensional "frequency,"
and such frequencies coexist alongside one another like
frequencies on a radio band.
Strainic says the woman’s reluctance to be
identified is common. "It does not look good to your boss
to say, ‘I was late for work because I was abducted by
aliens,’" Strainic says. "It does not look good on your
resume." "We hear from a lot of people who say, ‘Please
tell me I’m crazy, that this isn’t happening.’
