Researcher Takes Aim at Alien Abductions

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) - Susan Clancy is sick of space aliens. The Harvard psychologist figures she has read every book and seen every movie ever made about extraterrestrials, and she has interviewed roughly 50 people who claim to have been abducted by aliens. All in the name of scientific truth,...

More like all in the name of making a quick buck, but let's continue for a tad here.

"Those who believe aliens are among us haven't taken kindly to her theory that abductees have created "false memories" out of, she writes, a "blend of fantasy-proneness, memory distortion, culturally available scripts, sleep hallucinations, and scientific illiteracy."

That doesn't mean Clancy thinks her subjects are crazy. In fact, she was surprised how many of them seemed quite normal, intelligent and articulate"

Um yeah, like, say Ted Bundy? This wackjob ever been outside of a classroom, ya think, as that is the usual modus operandi of the truly insane...act natural then go home and sprinkle some of what used to be your best friend into the fresh batch of chicken soup you've started for that big family picnic that's coming up.

Now I know full well that from the time we can understand even the rudiments of language, we're each and every one if us taught to believe in invisible spooky things, but grown folks that think they've been kidnapped by aliens for a probe-stroll are one of two things, and two things only.

Bullshitters or nutcases.

No "studies" necessary, so save yourself and Harvard tons of time, money and effort, sweetheart and move on. Good luck with the book, but using the retarded and the scam artists as fodder for making a buck is, is, is almost as bad as being a liberal politician.
