I was recently intrigued by the name of Chuck Weiss’s book, Abducted by Aliens, -or- How I Learned to Cope with High Strangeness, Government Harassment, and My Mother.  I decided to contact him and ask if he would exchange his book for one of my CDs that I have recorded.  He agreed, because he said he wanted people to read his book.  I was thankful because in today’s economy I don’t have the luxury anymore of buying everything I see and want to read. 

 

Having felt most of my life that I too am an Abductee/Experiencer, I felt compelled to read his book and really wanted to see if there were any similarities between our memories, abductions, dreams, etc., but more importantly, to learn more about the “government” angle that seems to shadow much of the UFO dialogue.

 

Let me first state that I wake up often with unexplained bruising, some of which appear to be burns, that blister, that are bright red, but have absolutely no pain involved, and no reason to have the burns.  I have been regressed many times to uncover repressed memories and I go in and out of “being involved actively” in the UFO community, support groups, reading books, etc.  When I am in the “mood” so to speak, I devour the information as if my body depended on the vital nutrition of information.  Then I have long spells where I just don’t read, I don’t interact, I just want to not think about it at all.  Denial?  Perhaps.  Feeling that there’s nothing to read that’s new, that I don’t already know?  Mostly.  That brings me to Chuck’s book.  I DID NOT know what he wrote about.  I was enthralled and read it cover to cover.  At first, I thought, “well....this is really out there.  How can I possibly believe this?”  But I had the privilege to meet him and drive him to a meeting, and talk with him, all before reading the book and I have to admit, there was something familiar about him.  I only figured out many hours later that we had met in the early 90's.  I didn’t recognize his face.  I recognized his hand gestures and voice.  Strange, isn’t that?  Most people remember faces.  That day, listening to him speak, I heard a very intelligent man, and I was anxious to read his story.

 

I had no idea that our government was so evil.  We take it for granted what they dish out to us in the news.  I don’t believe the news...I haven’t since the riots in Santa Barbara during the Vietnam War.  I was there, and I saw with my own eyes what the police were doing to the students protesting.  When a prominent attorney from Los Angeles who happened to be a very close friend of our family told me, “You are lying,” I had to scratch my head and think that he, the establishment, is not interested in the real truth.   If so, the Phoenix lights would have been covered the day it happened, not months later.  There would be news stories daily on TV of sightings.  Not in the good old US of A though! 

 

Those men in black that folks talk about?  Well, I’ve never encountered them before, or been harassed before, I do know that when you put your story out there for everyone to read, you better be sure of who you are, and why you’d want to open yourself up to possible ridicule, perhaps even losing your reputation in your work field.
