Few topics in ufology provoke stronger reactions than alien abductions.
For some researchers, abduction accounts are the product of false memories, sleep paralysis, or hypnotic confabulation.
For others, they represent direct physical interaction with a non-human intelligence, complete with missing time, bodily marks, implants, and even reports of stolen pregnancies.
If the latter interpretation is even partially true, the implications are chilling: abductions would not be symbolic experiences or psychological intrusions, but components of a long-term biological program—one aimed not at contact, but at replacement.
This idea connects directly with two of the most controversial strands in UFO lore: Project Serpo and the alleged horrors of Dulce Base.
The Skeptical Position — False Memories and the Fragile Mind
From a scientific and clinical perspective, alien abduction experiences do not require extraterrestrials to be profoundly real to those who report them. The skeptical position begins with a simple observation: human memory is not a recording device. It is reconstructive, suggestible, and deeply shaped by expectations, emotions, and cultural narratives.
Many classic abduction accounts emerged during the late 20th century through the use of hypnotic regression, a technique once believed to unlock hidden memories. Today, most psychologists agree that hypnosis does not reliably recover factual memories; instead, it increases suggestibility, confidence in imagined details, and the blending of fantasy with recollection. Under hypnosis, people can generate vivid, emotionally charged narratives that feel recovered but are, in fact, newly constructed.
This does not mean abductees are lying.
It means the mind is astonishingly good at filling gaps.
Sleep Paralysis and the Night Visitor
One of the strongest skeptical explanations links abduction experiences to sleep paralysis, a state in which the brain wakes before the body regains movement. During these episodes, people often experience:
- intense fear
- a sense of presence
- paralysis
- pressure on the chest
- vivid hallucinations
Across cultures and centuries, sleep paralysis has produced remarkably consistent imagery: demons, witches, shadow figures, old hags, intruders, and—more recently—grey aliens. The experience feels external, invasive, and utterly real, even though it arises from the brain’s misfiring boundary between dream and waking consciousness.
In this view, alien abductions are not random fantasies, but neurological experiences shaped by cultural expectations. As the imagery available to the mind changed—from religious to technological—the “visitor” changed with it.
Trauma, Dissociation, and Narrative Repair
Another skeptical lens focuses on trauma and dissociation. Some researchers suggest that abduction narratives may function as symbolic frameworks through which individuals process:
- childhood trauma
- medical procedures
- reproductive anxiety
- loss of bodily autonomy
Rather than reliving trauma directly, the mind reframes it into a narrative where agency is displaced onto external beings. The story of abduction becomes a way to say something happened to me without naming what that something was.
Importantly, this does not make the experience trivial or dismissible. Symbolic experiences can have real psychological consequences, shaping identity, behavior, and belief just as powerfully as physical events.
Cultural Contagion and the Shape of the Story
Skeptics also note that abduction reports are historically clustered. They rise sharply after:
- popular books and documentaries
- television series and films
- high-profile researchers promote specific motifs
Descriptions of greys, examination tables, hybrid babies, and missing pregnancies become standardized not because they are necessarily real, but because stories teach people how to experience experiences.
This phenomenon—sometimes called narrative contagion—does not imply deceit. It suggests that once a culturally accepted script exists, the mind may unconsciously use it to organize anomalous sensations, dreams, or memories.
Where Skepticism Becomes Uncomfortable
The skeptical position is powerful, but it has its own blind spots.
It explains how abduction experiences could be constructed, but struggles with:
- why certain themes recur cross-culturally and across centuries
- why some experiences include reported physiological effects
- why abductees often resist UFO culture and avoid publicity
- why the experiences feel intrusive rather than empowering
Most importantly, skepticism risks becoming dismissive, treating experiencers as passive victims of cognitive error rather than active interpreters of extraordinary internal events.
A Fragile Mind — or a Permeable One?
At its best, the skeptical position does not say, “Nothing happened.”
It says, “Something happened—but not in the way it appears.”
Alien abductions may emerge from the fragile, malleable architecture of the human mind. Or they may emerge because the mind is not sealed off from reality as modern materialism assumes. The difference between fragility and permeability is subtle—and unresolved.
And this is where skepticism reaches its limit.
Because even if abductions are products of memory, trauma, and neurology, they remain one of the most complex, persistent, and emotionally charged mythologies ever generated by the human psyche.
The question, then, is not simply whether abductions are “real”…
…but why the human mind keeps returning to this story, again and again, when confronted with the unknown.
Missing Time: The First Crack in the Psychological Model
Among all the elements reported in alien abduction narratives, missing time occupies a uniquely troubling position. Unlike visions, memories recovered under hypnosis, or symbolic imagery, missing time is not something experiencers remember—it is something they discover after the fact.
People notice clocks out of sync.
Journeys that should have taken minutes consume hours.
They arrive home with no recollection of where they have been or how they got there.
This absence of experience, rather than the presence of a story, is what makes missing time so difficult to dismiss.
An Absence That Demands Explanation
In many cases, missing time is identified before any abduction narrative emerges. Experiencers often begin with confusion, not belief:
- “I don’t know where the last two hours went.”
- “I arrived home much later than I should have.”
- “The clock says one thing, but my body feels another.”
Only later—sometimes weeks or years later—does the idea of an abduction enter the picture, often introduced by investigators or cultural exposure. This sequence complicates the claim that abductions are merely imagined stories imposed on ordinary experience.
The question becomes unavoidable:
What produces the time gap itself?
Psychological Explanations—and Their Limits
Skeptics rightly point out that time loss can occur in several well-documented conditions:
- dissociation
- fugue states
- extreme stress
- microsleep episodes
- epileptic activity
- substance use
In these cases, consciousness fragments, and memory encoding fails. The person does not remember because the brain never fully registered the experience.
But abduction-related missing time often differs in important ways:
- it occurs in otherwise psychologically healthy individuals
- it appears suddenly, without prior diagnosis
- it clusters around anomalous events (lights, sounds, sightings)
- it is sometimes reported simultaneously by multiple people
The psychological model can explain how time might be lost—but struggles to explain why it so often coincides with external anomalies.
Shared Missing Time: A Serious Anomaly
One of the most challenging cases for skepticism involves shared missing time.
There are reports of:
- couples losing the same span of time
- families experiencing collective gaps
- drivers discovering hours missing during shared journeys
In these situations, dissociation becomes a less elegant explanation. While group psychology can influence interpretation, simultaneous memory gaps across individuals are harder to reduce to internal processes alone.
At a minimum, such cases suggest that missing time may involve environmental or situational triggers rather than just personal psychology.
Missing Time Beyond UFOs
Importantly, missing time is not unique to alien abductions.
It appears in:
- medieval fairy encounters
- shamanic initiation rites
- poltergeist cases
- certain near-death experiences
- modern military pilot UAP encounters
Across cultures and centuries, encounters with something anomalous are repeatedly accompanied by temporal distortion. The experience’s form changes, but the time anomaly remains.
This persistence suggests that missing time may be a core feature of liminal experiences, rather than a narrative embellishment.
Time Distortion vs. Memory Loss
Some researchers argue that what experiencers call missing time may not be lost at all—but altered.
Instead of memory failing, time itself may be perceived differently:
- stretched
- compressed
- segmented
- or disconnected from ordinary chronology
From a neurological perspective, time perception is constructed by the brain rather than directly sensed. Under certain conditions, the brain’s internal clock can malfunction dramatically.
Yet this explanation opens another door:
What triggers such extreme distortions so consistently in anomalous encounters?
Why Missing Time Matters
Missing time represents the first point at which the psychological model begins to strain under its own completeness.
It is not proof of alien abduction.
But it is evidence that something is happening at the boundary between:
- consciousness
- memory
- perception
- and external stimulus
It is the hinge on which the entire abduction narrative turns. Without missing time, abductions collapse into dreams and stories. With it, they become events with measurable consequences, even if their nature remains unknown.
Missing time does not prove aliens are taking people against their will.
But it does suggest that human consciousness can be disrupted in ways we do not fully understand, sometimes in association with external anomalies that defy easy classification.
This is why missing time remains the first crack in the psychological model:
not because it refutes skepticism, but because it reveals its limits.
And once time itself becomes unreliable, the distinction between internal and external experience—between mind and world—becomes far harder to defend.
Implants: Foreign Objects or Misidentified Tissue?
If missing time is the first crack in the psychological model of alien abductions, implants are the point where skepticism becomes most uncomfortable. Unlike memories, dreams, or subjective experiences, implants are claimed to be physical artifacts—objects allegedly placed inside the human body without the individual’s knowledge or consent.
For proponents of abduction reality, implants are the strongest evidence that something external is occurring. For skeptics, they are a cautionary tale about misinterpretation, confirmation bias, and the human tendency to see patterns where none exist.
The truth, as usual, lies in the unresolved space between.
What Are “Alien Implants,” According to Experiencers?
Abductees report discovering small objects embedded in soft tissue, often:
- behind the ear
- in the nasal cavity
- under the skin of the foot or hand
- near reproductive organs
These objects are typically found incidentally—during medical imaging, surgery, or after persistent discomfort. In many cases, the individual has no memory of insertion, only a lingering sense that “something is wrong.”
Researchers such as Budd Hopkins and David Jacobs catalogued dozens of such cases, arguing that the consistency of locations and circumstances suggested deliberate placement rather than accident.
The Skeptical Medical Explanation
From a clinical standpoint, the vast majority of alleged implants can be explained without invoking non-human intervention. Doctors and pathologists point to several well-known possibilities:
- calcifications (calcium deposits that form naturally in soft tissue)
- foreign-body granulomas (the body’s response to tiny splinters, glass fragments, or metal shavings)
- surgical debris from childhood procedures
- dermal inclusions caused by unnoticed injuries
In many cases, objects thought to be implants turn out to be mundane materials after proper analysis. Importantly, the body is remarkably good at hiding things—foreign matter can remain embedded for decades without noticeable symptoms.
From this perspective, implants are not evidence of abduction, but of retrospective interpretation: once a person believes they were abducted, any unexplained bodily anomaly acquires symbolic meaning.
The Unresolved Residue
However, not all cases end cleanly.
A small subset of reported implants resist straightforward explanation—not because they are proven alien, but because:
- their origin cannot be established
- their composition is unusual but not impossible
- chain-of-custody documentation is incomplete
- or they were removed without proper scientific oversight
This is a critical point. The problem is not that implants have been conclusively shown to be extraterrestrial. The problem is that the investigative process itself has often been flawed, leaving behind ambiguity instead of closure.
Skeptics rightly argue that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence—but critics counter that such evidence is impossible when materials are mishandled, dismissed, or never seriously studied in the first place.
Why Implants Matter Psychologically
Even when implants turn out to be mundane, their psychological impact on experiencers is profound. The belief that one’s body has been altered without consent strikes at the deepest sense of personal autonomy.
Implant narratives often accompany:
- feelings of violation
- loss of bodily ownership
- paranoia or hypervigilance
- a sense of being monitored
Whether literal or symbolic, implants function as anchors of belief—physical “proof” that transforms an internal experience into an external assault.
From a psychological perspective, this makes implants uniquely powerful, regardless of their true origin.
The Control-System Interpretation
Within a Vallée-style framework, implants do not need to be alien technology to fulfill their role. Their function may be symbolic rather than instrumental.
The idea of an implant introduces:
- surveillance anxiety
- loss of agency
- fear of hidden influence
- the sense that one’s body is no longer private
Even a misidentified calcification, once framed as an implant, reshapes identity and worldview. The phenomenon, in this view, operates not through advanced devices but through the insertion of meaning.
The object is less important than what it represents.
Medieval “Fairy Marks” and Witch’s Teats: The Body as Evidence
In Celtic and medieval folklore, people who had encountered fairies were often said to bear fairy marks—unusual scars, spots, swellings, or areas of numbness on the skin. These marks were believed to indicate:
- abduction into the Otherworld
- time spent among the fair folk
- spiritual contamination or blessing
- ongoing vulnerability to further encounters
Fairy marks were frequently described as:
- painless
- oddly placed
- resistant to healing
- unexplained by ordinary injury
Like modern implant claims, they were rarely discovered during the encounter, but noticed afterward, sometimes years later, as lingering proof that “something happened.”
During the early modern witch trials, investigators searched obsessively for witches’ teats—small bodily anomalies believed to be feeding points for demons or familiars. These could include:
- moles
- skin tags
- scars
- extra nipples
- patches of insensitive skin
According to manuals like the Malleus Maleficarum, such marks were considered physical confirmation of a secret, illicit relationship with non-human entities.
Crucially, the marks themselves were usually mundane. What made them significant was interpretation.
Structural Parallels with Modern Implant Narratives
| Medieval Belief | Modern Abduction Narrative |
| Fairy marks | Alien implants |
| Witch’s teat | Embedded tracking device |
| Otherworld contact | UFO encounter |
| Demon familiar | Grey entities |
| Spiritual corruption | Genetic or bodily violation |
| Religious investigators | UFO researchers/doctors |
Interpretation Over Material
From a modern perspective, fairy marks and witch’s teats are clearly misinterpretations of ordinary human anatomy. Yet the logic behind them is revealing.
When societies confront experiences they cannot explain—night visitations, missing time, paralysis, trauma—they seek tangible confirmation. A mark on the body offers:
- validation of experience
- proof against disbelief
- a way to externalize fear
Alien implants function in exactly the same way today.
What This Comparison Suggests
This does not mean that fairy marks, witch’s teats, and alien implants are literally the same phenomenon. But it strongly suggests that the human body has long served as a canvas on which the unknown is written.
Across centuries, cultures have repeatedly interpreted unexplained bodily features as:
- signs of contact with hidden intelligences
- evidence of surveillance or control
- markers of altered identity
The imagery changes.
The authority structures change.
The fear shifts from demons to aliens.
But the underlying pattern remains:
when the mind doubts, the body is asked to testify.
And once the body is implicated, belief becomes far harder to undo.
Disappearing Pregnancies and the Hybrid Narrative
Among all abduction-related claims, none are as disturbing—or as ethically explosive—as reports of disappearing pregnancies. These accounts move the phenomenon beyond fear, memory, or bodily intrusion and into the most intimate territory imaginable: reproduction and species continuity.
For believers, these cases represent evidence of an organized hybridization program.
For skeptics, they are among the strongest indicators that abduction narratives may be symbolic constructions shaped by trauma, anxiety, and expectation.
What makes them so powerful is that they sit at the intersection of biology, identity, and control.
The Core Claim
The basic narrative follows a recurring pattern. Women report:
- a confirmed pregnancy (often medically verified)
- sudden cessation of pregnancy symptoms
- no signs of miscarriage (no bleeding, pain, or medical explanation)
- later discovery that they are no longer pregnant
In some cases, under hypnosis or spontaneous recall, the experience is reinterpreted as:
- fetal extraction by non-human beings
- temporary gestation aboard a craft or facility
- encounters with hybrid infants or children
- instructions to forget or emotional detachment from the loss
These stories are rare, but strikingly consistent in structure.
Skeptical and Medical Explanations
From a medical standpoint, several explanations are far more plausible than extraterrestrial intervention:
- early pregnancy loss, which can occur without dramatic symptoms
- false-positive tests or misinterpreted hormonal changes
- pseudocyesis, a psychological condition involving belief in pregnancy
- memory reconstruction, where ambiguous medical experiences are reinterpreted after exposure to abduction narratives
Critically, many alleged disappearing pregnancies lack full medical documentation. Records are incomplete, memories are retrospective, and the experiences are often reframed long after the event.
From this perspective, the hybrid narrative is not evidence of an alien program—but a meaning-making response to reproductive trauma or uncertainty.
Why the Hybrid Narrative Persists
Even if the literal claims are false, the structure of the hybrid narrative is revealing.
It centers on:
- loss of reproductive autonomy
- removal of something precious without consent
- creation of beings that are both “us” and “not us”
- secrecy enforced through memory suppression
These themes resonate deeply in a modern world shaped by:
- medicalization of reproduction
- fear of genetic manipulation
- declining birth rates
- anxiety about the future of humanity
- loss of control over biological destiny
The hybrid becomes a symbol of displacement—a future that does not fully belong to us.
Hybrids as Liminal Beings
In abduction accounts, hybrids are rarely portrayed as monsters. More often, they are:
- fragile
- emotionally distant
- incomplete
- in need of care or learning
This ambiguity is crucial. The hybrid is not an invader—it is a replacement in training.
This reframes invasion not as war, but as inheritance.
Not conquest, but succession.
In this sense, the hybrid narrative aligns disturbingly well with broader cultural fears: that humanity may not be overthrown, but quietly outgrown.
Psychological Weight on Experiencers
For those who believe these experiences are real, the emotional toll is immense:
- unresolved grief
- confusion over maternal bonds
- feelings of violation and betrayal
- difficulty trusting one’s own body and memories
Even if the pregnancy loss has a conventional explanation, reframing it as an alien intervention can lock the trauma into a cosmic narrative, making closure nearly impossible.
This is why clinicians approach such cases with extreme caution:
challenging the belief directly can retraumatize, but affirming it may reinforce distress.
Control System or Cultural Nightmare?
Within a broader interpretive framework, disappearing pregnancies need not be literally true to function powerfully.
They introduce:
- the idea that reproduction is no longer private
- the fear that humanity’s future is being decided elsewhere
- the suspicion that consent is irrelevant
Whether interpreted as abduction, psychology, or myth, the hybrid narrative serves as a Trojan Horse, smuggling the fear of replacement into the collective imagination.
It asks a question no society finds easy to face:
What if the future does not belong to us?
Why This Matters
Disappearing pregnancy stories endure because they touch something primal. They collapse the distance between cosmic speculation and personal loss. They turn the UFO phenomenon, a mystery in the sky, into a threat within the body.
Even if every case has a medical or psychological explanation, the narrative itself reveals a profound anxiety:
that humanity is losing control not just of its technology or environment, but of its biological destiny.
And once reproduction enters the story, skepticism alone cannot dissolve the fear.
Because this is no longer about belief.
It is about continuity.
Hybrids and Changelings: An Old Fear in a New Form
The hybrid narrative in modern abduction lore echoes one of medieval Europe’s most haunting beliefs: the changeling myth. In Celtic and Germanic folklore, fairies were said to steal human infants and replace them with their own offspring—beings that looked almost human, yet felt subtly wrong. Mothers reported emotional estrangement, unexplained illness, or the eerie sense that the child before them was not fully theirs. The language was different—fae courts instead of spacecraft, fairy mounds instead of underground bases—but the structure was the same: reproductive interference, substitution, and the blurring of human identity.
Today’s hybrid stories update that ancient template for a technological age. Instead of fairy bloodlines, we hear of genetic manipulation. Instead of woodland spirits, grey entities. Instead of stolen cradles, extracted embryos. But the underlying anxiety remains unchanged: the fear that humanity’s lineage can be infiltrated, altered, or quietly replaced without consent.
Whether interpreted as folklore, psychology, or a literal claim, both changelings and hybrids dramatize the same existential tension. They express a deep cultural dread that what we create—our children, our future—may not fully belong to us. The myth persists because it speaks to something primal: the vulnerability of continuity itself.
The Replacement Hypothesis: Invasion Without War
Among the most unsettling interpretations of the abduction phenomenon is the so-called Replacement Hypothesis: the idea that alien contact is not exploratory, not diplomatic, and not openly hostile—but strategic. Instead of conquering humanity through force, a non-human intelligence would slowly integrate its genetics into ours, producing hybrids capable of functioning within human society.
No fleets.
No destruction.
No declaration of war.
Just succession.
From Conquest to Continuity
Traditional invasion narratives—whether from science fiction or Cold War paranoia—imagine visible domination: cities in flames, skies filled with craft, governments collapsing. The Replacement Hypothesis is quieter. It imagines something far more patient and evolutionary.
In this model:
- abductions serve as genetic sampling
- hybrid offspring are cultivated over generations
- memory suppression prevents resistance
- integration happens socially, not militarily
The goal would not be extermination, but inheritance.
Humanity would not be destroyed. It would be absorbed.
The Hybrid as Bridge—or Trojan
Abduction researchers like David Jacobs proposed that hybrids are designed to pass as human while retaining non-human cognition or allegiance. These beings, according to the narrative, would gradually occupy positions within society—indistinguishable from us, yet fundamentally altered.
This raises the deeply uncomfortable image of invasion without violence:
- social infiltration instead of military assault
- demographic transition instead of territorial occupation
- psychological normalization instead of overt conquest
It echoes the logic of a Trojan Horse—not entering with force, but through familiarity.
Psychological and Cultural Resonance
Even if the Replacement Hypothesis is not literally true, its persistence reveals something important about the human psyche.
The fear of replacement appears repeatedly in history:
- medieval changelings
- colonial anxieties
- demographic panic narratives
- modern fears of AI or genetic engineering
The hybrid story functions as a symbolic vessel for these fears. It expresses anxiety about:
- loss of identity
- dilution of lineage
- erosion of autonomy
- future generations that do not resemble us
The alien hybrid becomes the ultimate “other”—not fully external, but uncomfortably internal.
Linking to Serpo and Dulce
When placed alongside the Project Serpo narrative and alleged activities at Dulce Base, the Replacement Hypothesis shifts from cosmic speculation to institutional horror.
If governments entered agreements with non-human entities, and if underground facilities enabled genetic experimentation, then replacement would not be alien conquest—it would be collaborative succession.
In that scenario, the threat is not invasion from above, but consent granted in secret.
Not defeat, but negotiation.
The deepest fear embedded in this narrative is not alien dominance—it is human complicity.
Abductions Under Oversight: Project Serpo and the Hybrid Agenda
If the Project Serpo narrative is even partially accurate, then alien abductions cannot be dismissed as random or rogue encounters. They would represent something far more disturbing: a managed program, quietly monitored—or even authorized—by human institutions.
According to the Serpo leaks, following the 1947 Roswell recovery, the U.S. government established formal contact with a non-human civilization known as the Ebens and entered into a long-term exchange agreement. Twelve human personnel were allegedly sent to their home world, while the Ebens were granted limited access to Earth. In this framework, Majestic-12 was not merely a cover-up committee—it was a liaison authority, coordinating interspecies interaction behind layers of secrecy.
Now, place the abduction phenomenon into that structure.
The hybridization program described by abductees—systematic reproductive sampling, genetic experimentation, and the creation of hybrid offspring—begins to resemble not a clandestine invasion, but a cooperative biological project. If Ebens were granted operational freedom on Earth, they may also have been given jurisdiction over human biological material, perhaps justified as scientific exchange or species preservation.
This would explain several unsettling features of abduction reports:
- why the same entities appear repeatedly
- why procedures are standardized
- why abductees are often released unharmed
- and why there is no open confrontation
From this perspective, abductions look less like predation and more like regulated extraction.
It also casts a chilling light on the “disappearing pregnancy” phenomenon. If human–alien hybrids were being produced, their removal from human mothers would not require secrecy from the Ebens—but from us. A joint program would demand memory suppression, denial, and the silencing of those involved.
This is where Serpo collides with Dulce Base lore. If there were underground facilities where genetic experiments took place, they would provide the ideal physical infrastructure for a hybridization project operating beyond public law, ethics, or oversight.
Again, there is no hard proof that Serpo or Dulce is real.
But the internal logic is disturbingly coherent.
If abductions are occurring, and if some form of contact has been established, then the most frightening possibility is not invasion…
…but collaboration.
Ethical Collapse
The Replacement Hypothesis forces a disturbing ethical question:
If hybrids are being created, who authorized it?
If no one authorized it, why is it tolerated?
If humanity is being integrated into something else, does consent matter at the species level?
These questions strike at the core of sovereignty—not just political sovereignty, but biological sovereignty as well.
Whether literal or symbolic, the Replacement Hypothesis captures a uniquely modern anxiety: that humanity may not be the final version of itself.
We now live in an age of:
- CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) gene editing
- artificial intelligence
- transhumanism
- ecological instability
In such a world, the idea that we might be replaced—by machines, by altered humans, or by something not entirely human—feels less like fantasy and more like metaphor.
The alien hybrid may not represent extraterrestrials at all.
It may represent the next stage—and our fear that we will not be able to control it.
Final Reflection
The Replacement Hypothesis does not need fleets or lasers to disturb. It unsettles precisely because it is subtle. It imagines the future arriving not as a catastrophe, but as a quiet transformation.
Invasion without war.
Occupation without violence.
Extinction without collapse.
And whether that scenario belongs to aliens, to technology, or to myth, the emotional truth it touches is the same:
The fear that the future will wear our face—
But no longer be us.
Conclusion: Truth, Trauma, or Both?
Alien abduction stories sit at an uncomfortable crossroads:
- too emotionally intense to dismiss casually
- too inconsistent to accept uncritically
- too culturally persistent to ignore
They may be false memories.
They may be symbolic intrusions.
They may be something else entirely.
But if even a fraction of the physical claims are true, then the abduction phenomenon represents not contact, but covert intervention—an operation unfolding quietly, one human body at a time.
And in that case, the real question is not whether aliens are visiting us…
…but why they never bothered to ask permission.
