There is nothing much on alleged alien abductions. Most researchers will not touch this subject and we all know why. They will only make some speculations and suggestions. That's all.

The links you have posted describe some of the research by a few psychologists but it is highly speculative and it comes down to personal opinions. John Mack said that the people who examined had no health issues, appear to be telling the truth, and they had no sign of psychiatric or mental disorders.

Otherwise, they are just speculation, or as in this case, fabulism. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hazzard Posted September 1 #63 Share Posted September 1 (edited) Andersson doing his very best to create a strawman again. We have seen a number of these stunts from this clown recently, like "moving planets, hovering meteors, and now talking about mental disorder" (instead of Sleep paralysis). Zetorian had this EXACT same tactic. 🧐 Edited September 1 by Hazzard 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck, and let me know what you find. I don't know who was on his side at that time. But the reality is that you need to able to establish a connection between the alleged abductions and sleep paralysis not just to state it may have been the case. And for this to happen the people who have been allegedly abducted should be medically examined as sleep paralysis is probably a result of sleep disorders or psychiatric/mental conditions.

It looks like an attempt to fit it retrospectively. You need to understand the candidate explanations I offered. They are demonstrable, regularly, observed phenomena that 70% of human beings experience. It is therefore entirely reasonable to offer them as explanations as opposed to alien abductions which are not observed at all, for which there is no good evidence beyond claims. ETA: Applying Ocamm's Razor here, and not adding unneccasary assumptions/entities, the candidate explanations myself and Hazzard have offered are far more reasonable than an alien abduction. As far as your argument from authority argument, well, that's all that is. Edited September 2 by Resume 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what? Most of the discussion tries to relate sleep paralysis to alleged alien abduction and this could be a result of a sleep or psychiatric/mental disorder. If you try to related something else to it like the ones you did then you would expect a large part of the human population to have similar experiences. But as we know these experiences are not that common or anywhere near the 70% you mentioned for the explanations you are given. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
