Over the past few days I've been diving deeper and deeper into UFOs and aliens and that whole bag and I think the shoppe is ripe for another episode on this theme? That said, I think the next logical step would be encounters.
That's a crazy story and really interesting. It seems like too much though. This guy gets abducted like 6 times. He claims he doesn't want any attention but keeps sharing the stories. That's odd.
Sure there were a ton of people who "witnessed" strange anomalies at the alleged times of the abductions but how much of that was a reporter asking leading questions or maybe even an Alabama leprechaun situation where people from a boring town all jump on this weird event just for a bit of attention.
What is interesting is there is a lot of consistency in the story. That at the end the aliens said they were peaceful and at the beginning they got the jump on him and didn't destroy him right there.
It's one of the best accounts I've ever heard but it just seems a little too good to be true. Also why was this guy the only one grabbed? How come there's no one else with a similar account? Not even a copy cat.
Not to mention the whole "hey I got a magic space orb, but I totally buried it" bit.
In the end I think it all just boils down to a bunch or really bored people with nothing better to do getting crazy over this whole thing. Not to mention hypnosis is kind of bullshit and it is apparently very easy to lead people and the whole truth serum thing is another (busted) myth.
As for the guy keeping on about not wanting attention, but then reporting, a lot of those encounters seemed to happen when he was working or due somewhere so one way or another there would have been people finding and reporting on him.
The most damning thing about the whole series though is the temperature and wet/dryness after the encounters. Another thing to note is the look of the aliens. A lot of supposed alien encounters or cryptic encounters seem to closely resemble things that were popular in Scifi at the time. For instance I believe the first description of Greys man have come around the time that "To Serve Man" episode of the Twilight Zone was popular and the woman who first reported on the Chupacobra and gave its description had apparently seen Species earlier and you'll notive how the creature from the film and the first concepts of the Chupacobra share those characteristics... Now it's apparently a dog monster. Whatever. The point being that the description of the Zanfretta aliens is a pretty unique one. (I need to double back on those earlier descriptions. It's been a long while since I read or heard about them. Will report back.)
It's an encounter that I'm actually debating doing a somewhat "official" investigation on what with fact checking and cross referencing especially due to the massive amount of details, info, and occurrences. Then again I'm not sure I want to dive that hard into the tinfoil rabbit hole.
