Whether UFO cultism is myth, magic, or madness, its high priests are psychiatrists, and the religious ritual they employ is hypnosis. This ancient shamanic practice provides a link between UFOs, NDEs, and the occult. Few, if any, abductees ever have a conscious memory of the alleged experience. In the process of being regressed back in time under hypnosis (with the help of some leading suggestions), the “memory” of the “abduction” and of being physiologically analyzed and sometimes sexually assaulted is uncovered by the therapist—exactly like the memories of alleged childhood sexual abuse have been “uncovered” by the thousands.
