Are experiencers and abductees becoming afraid to tell about their encounters?
Recently in the alien/ufo community, there have been complaints from experiencers who post only to have derision and ridicule heaped upon them when recounting their story. Many have chosen to leave one forum or another and simply not speak of their experiences, such is their fear and disgust with being 'third-degreed' when relating a story that is very often traumatic to remember and even more so to tell. Yet the common experiencer has a need to find others and to share with them what has occurred. Unlike children who are less likely to doubt their own perceptions, adult experiencers and abductees often question themselves and their behavior about such an encounter. Generally, they want only to be heard and acknowledged, which, for a long time, many forums provided; a kind of 'written fellowship' and a ear that was always ready to be lended.
However, currently , many of the popular forums are having experiencers and those who believe come less and less often, only to be replaced by what is known in the circles as the 'skeptics or 'debunkers''. In many instances, objective reasoning is postiive feedback but this is not the case for the 'newbies' who come online needing a sounding board. More and more these 'skeptics' are picking apart at the new person who hears of the particular forum and comes on there seeking advice. As the experiencers are there less often, these skeptics appear to be there more frequently, demanding that their voices be heard to the extent of drowning out others.
It appears that this is not unique to the alien/ufo community. Rather, this 'ridicule' and derisive behavior appears in many areas onlines, a horrific example being the recent dramatic event of a woman committing suicide and reaching out for help and being called 'a liar' and that she just 'wanted attention' as she very likely lay dying.

Despite photographs, videos, news broadcasts, these debunkers will attack even the most genuine evidence, most oftentimes not even bothering to read the link or watch the newscast, relying instead on other 'skeptics' to give them the ' low down'.
This compelling video was shot accidentially by a news broadcasting company; comments ranged from 'it's definately a fake' to 'end of the world' commentary; very few objective comments could be found.

What effect does all this have on the typical experiencer? Whether it be a sighting or a possible encounter, generally the first thing that someone who witnesses such an extraordinary event wants is to find out more informaton about it; it is natural curiousity to want to discover what one is seeing right in front of them. Many state that at this time, tho, that they would NOT report a sighting for fear of being labeled crazy or delusional which opens the question of how many incidents are actually occuring but are not being reported.
Recently the topic of "Is the Alien Abduction Phenomena Dying out? appeared on a popular forum. Comments ranged from 'these reports are bogus' to the concept that this phenomena was some sort of 'fad'; several of the members of the forum responded with the following:
'This type of response is why people do not continue to report abductions. Although I completely understand why you feel the way you do.'
And:
'I talk to a lot of abducts,maybe 60 at the present time that i meet From XXX members,now they won't talk on public forums or report these cases to deft ears.There is indeed a very serious problem ongoing and these victims are traumatized. I liken their trauma to someone whose family member sexually abuse them and when they tell no one believes them, it's outrageous and a very sad state of affairs.This is global in scope.It's less painful to remain silent for these victims.Funny how an alien UFO forum exist but the real victims can't be open on it due to fear OD attacks,now if they feel this way on XXXX how do you think they perceive the real world would take them.I don't think you need to ask why you don't hear about reports on abduction anymore.'
'All I get is ridiculed'.

Another comment on riducule:
"I am feeling hopeless. This is far worse than any amount of physical damage they could have inflicted on me".
From a popular ufo website, an excerpt from author Eve Lorgen:
'The abductee who has been denied validation of their experience will have a tendency to not trust their own feelings, stay in denial and even act out in anger. Those who have turned anger inward will become depressed or even suicidal depending on the extent of trauma endured.'

Without the testimony, videos, pictures of the experiencers, which could range from an air force pilot to a mom on her farm, we will continue to have less and less evidence that this phenomena exists and whethor or not it may be increasing. A valuable resource will be lost, and if there ever is any type of disclosure, it will be done behind closed doors; and as with everything, all the closed doors ever do is hide the truth and cause more havoc when they are finally opened.
If we want these testimonies to continue, if we want to continue to gain knowledge of this phenomena, then all must be vigilant and allow the voices to be heard. The expereincer cannot do it alone, and if the current trend continues, they, as others have been, will be forced back 'into the closet' and lock the door forever.
Alien abduction and encounters with young children is a subject that has come up before in the alien/ufo community, but appears to be growing in number from the personal accounts posted on several forums and testimony given by multiple witnesses to the phenomena. It is a subject which tends to make some members uncomfortable, possibly because of the ramifications if this event is occurring. After all, It is one thing to be an adult and to possibly have these experiences, but a protective urge comes out in all of us when our children are threatened or being harmed in some way. Perhaps it is easier to put it down to a 'bad dream' then to deal with the consequences of a possible alien abduction of a child.


As studies have found that abduction is possibly multi-generational, is it conceivable that the possible abductees are more aware of the 'eymptoms' that may accompany these encounters? Or are these 'dreams' that these children are having so evident of alien interaction that it cannot be ignored? And, if the latter is the case, then does this lend credibility to the concept that these contacts with the children are increasing?
From Russia to London, Costa Rica to Canada, strange sounds that have been described as almost 'metallic' and 'machine-like' have been heard coming from the sky in the past few weeks. The subject is a-buzzing in the ufo/alien community, as well as in the mainstream news. Theories abound about what the source of these sounds are, from biblical prophecy to unusual seismic activity; however, as of this date, 01/23/2012, despite intensive study by scientists and geologists, no known nor scientific explaination can be been found.
