Last week researcher Chris
Rutkowski, of Winnipeg revealed that British
Columbians reported 114, or 49% of the 232 UFO
sightings in Canada in 1990. For some the survey was
confirmation of a long-held belief that B.C. is home
to more than its share of those on the lunatic
fringe. But for those who claim to have encountered
beings from outer space, the survey was a
confidence-builder. They could take comfort in the
knowledge that more and more of their neighbours are
willing to risk being classified as crazies[sic], by
speaking of encounters with extra-terrestrials.
Alvena Scott, a 41-year old
Vancouver receptionist, is one of those finding
security in numbers. Miss Scott claims she has been
about as close as anyone can get to a space alien.
Indeed she is one of about 20 people in the
Vancouver area who say they have been abducted by
extra-terrestrials. Apparently some of the aliens
were nice enough to operate on her to repair a
faulty kidney. Others, however, were only interested
in her reproductive capacity. She says the latter
group impregnated her during a March 1990 abduction.
Three months later, despite the fact she had been
celibate for years, she experienced a miscarriage.
Miss Scott says that in the summer
of 1985 she was experiencing excruciating pain in
the area of her left kidney. Doctors told her the
kidney would have to be removed but she feared
surgery and would not consent to an operation. She
explains that during this period she began nightly
meditations and it was after one of these sessions
that the first alien showed up in her bedroom. The
next thing she knew she was in a circular room
surrounded by seven-foot-tall, blue-eyed, human-
like creatures. She awoke in her bed the next
morning to find blood on her sheets and on her
torso. But her kidney problem was gone.
Miss Scott says that five years
after her encounter with the beneficent, tall,
blue-eyed beings she had a bad experience with some
small, insect-featured extra-terrestrials. She
claims that in March of 1990 she was "forcibly
taken" in the middle of the night to a spaceship.
Apart from going through a series of tunnels she
remembers nothing of the journey to the spaceship
but she has vivid recollections of her experiences
aboard the aliens' craft. She was one of about 20
"earth people," of both sexes, on the ship. After
communicating with the aliens by telepathy she
learned the earth women would have sperm "injected
into them." She received sperm but was not told who
or what provided it. Three months later she had a
miscarriage.
A tissue sample from the
miscarriage has allegedly been given to Lorne
Goldfader, director of the Vancouver-based UFO
Research Institute of Canada (UFORIC). Mr. Goldfader
says other UFO researchers have had evidence of
fetuses mysteriously disappearing. To reduce the
risk of theft he's not disclosing where the tissue
is being stored. The 41-year-old Vancouver postal
worker says the sample, which "appears to be in the
first stage of a foetus[sic]," will be examined by a
pathologist in due course. However, as of last week,
despite a year-long search, Mr. Goldfader had been
unable to find a lab willing to perform the
analysis.
Another UFO researcher, Graham
Conway from Delta, says that based on his knowledge
of the case and the phenomenon, the sample tissue
"does indeed look to be what he (Mr. Goldfader)
claims it is." Mr. Conway, 64, described the
material as a tiny but "perfectly human (-looking)
foetus[sic] with a tiny umbilical chord attached to
it." The former high school teacher says he has no
doubts about Miss Scott's "sincerity" in the matter.
And after 44 years in the (UFO research) field, he
thinks this might well be the long-awaited
breakthrough in abduction research.
His experience in the field leads
him to believe that accounts like those of Miss
Scott are becoming too numerous to ignore. "If it's
a figment of the imagination, it is happening to a
lot of imaginations. I believe that there's
inference with birth."
In another case he investigated, a
B.C. woman reported being taken aboard a spacecraft
and introduced to a boy she was told was her son. He
says most of the women who report such genetic
tampering are in the 35-40 age group. He adds that a
significant number of "abducted" women have been
sexually abused in their earth lives.
For her part Miss Scott says the
alien encounters not only cured her kidney problems
but also gave her a whole new outlook on life and
made her "a much more spiritual person." Still, she
confesses that there has been a negative
side-effect. "My relatives think I'm nuts." --
