If you were an alien looking to abduct somebody to carry out probes to determine the genetic attributes of the human species would you choose somebody gifted, highly intelligent, world-class skilled, perhaps even a famous person or world leader - or would you choose a gap rooted lank haired yokel from Arkansas?
Logically speaking you'd abduct anybody who was a vulnerable target. The idea isn't to pick and choose the best, it would be to research the human anatomy. If that were the case. Aside from Travis Walton who was a logger and Betty and Barney Hill who were modest folk, many abductees are level headed, smart, decent people. In fact it's a complete myth that it's only hill billies that get abducted, perpetrated by the Walton incident. Many famous people have reported alien encounters or abductions; Jimi Hendrix, Rob Thomas, Dave Grohl, Leonard Nimoy (lol), Tom DeLonge, Will Smith, Dan Ackroyd, Herbert Hoover ... many are people with highly creative talents such as acting or music (and yes, access to hard drugs and booze on tap). You couldn't abduct a world leader, otherwise you'd have no plausible deniability. That being said, Reagan, Carter, Eisenhower and Truman all acknowledged the existence of extraterrestrials, Reagan famously at a summit in front of millions on camera. Nobody batted an eyelid. The former defence minister of Canada has admitted his part in dealing with aliens and discussing it with the US, nobody is bothered. And that's the real issue. It's that nobody is bothering to ask the question. Everybody is so concerned about how they look or who they swiped on tinder, nobody is forcing the issue. If you asked people if they wanted to know the truth, they'd more than likely tell you yes. But ask them what they were going to do about it and you'll get a blank look. Seems we're happy to look for answers to things that don't seem silly, but can't be bothered to look into something that could potentially shape and define humanity for our remaining days.
Well yeah, they'll track and record anything on a ballistic trajectory. So there'll be plenty to discount, the Earth gains 100 tonnes of material every day so there's a lot to ignore.
I find it interesting that you interview people with abduction stories but I'd be looking for a common trait or even a gene to explain why these people believe so strongly in what they 'see' and what ties these cases together.
Which is exactly what I've done. There doesn't appear to be anything in location, most of the countries in the world report at least 1 abduction case in recent history. Interestingly, there are a lot of genetic traits. Many abductees have blue eyes, fair skin, red or blonde hair. Very few are over the age of 55, many if not all are in good health and have reported very few debilitating illnesses (cancer, MS, diabetes, especially things that are thought to be hereditary). Out of 291 cases, more than 70% had blue eyes and fair skin, and a staggering 85% considered themselves to be in peak physical condition, with a strong immune system. Some even claimed to have heightened intuition, resistance to pain and toxins. One young lady I spoke to was Ukrainian. She was magnetic and could stick stuff to her skin. Most if not all have heightened empathy levels, which can lead some to avoid other people for fear of 'contracting' some emotions from others.
Most that I have interviewed have an above average IQ (not all abductees do, just the ones I've spoken to) and tend to do well in their fields, although many are secluded and take jobs that don't require much human interaction, such as librarians, hospital file stores and the like.
That just made me laugh out loud Chazz, Mrs LBIA thinks that I've lost it, again.
