Which alien agenda is it?

John S. Carpenter, MSW, LCSW

After being intrigued, inspired, and contaminated by numerous science fiction movies, countless Star Trek episodes, and endless novels about other worlds, can we objectively assess a true “alien agenda” by one or more of the types of beings intruding into our lives? What do we want to believe? What do we hope is the truth? Do we try to ignore data or experiences that make us uncomfortable? Are the apparent agendas different due to the different races of beings allegedly contacting us? Are the different beings working together—or in opposition to each other? What can we believe?

As a researcher for the past 19 years I have tried to allow the collected data to lead me to the answers—rather than choose the data I prefer to believe, or find more acceptable. Like putting a 5,000-piece jigsaw puzzle together, many of the pieces make little sense, or sometimes create a different picture if placed in the wrong arrangement. We may never get all the pieces needed to
fully comprehend the “big picture,” but we have acquired enough pieces over the years to get an idea of what may be going on.
This article will examine various theories supported by data and attempt to suggest some overall conclusions—desirable or not— as to what the alien agenda may be.

1. Openly conquer the planet
If this were true, they would have already done so years ago! There would be outward, aggressive, obvious, undeniable efforts to control and dominate Earth. Most countries would probably come together to fight the obvious threat, probably destroying our own environment with dirty nuclear warfare. War is barbaric—the unlikely choice of an advanced intelligence. And there is no research data to support this idea.

2. Covertly conquer the planet
Some believe an insidious take-over of our planet is underway, although it is unclear why any advanced intelligence would want to control the dysfunctional and dangerously divided cultures on this Earth. Why infiltrate and attempt to sway our ways of thinking and doing things when we have not been able to come to any consensus or agreement on anything within or among the many countries, races, cultures, and religions on this planet throughout our entire existence? Furthermore, no research data suggests this notion.

3. Gather the “Chosen” for a future exodus
Many people desire a wonderful escape from this world as a way to avoid reality. That is our psychology, and the aliens may be reading our minds and telling us, occasionally, what we wish to hear. It certainly elicits great cooperation from human beings, if we believe we have been specially chosen by celestial beings. However, research data does not reveal this to be a common pattern of any kind.

4. Stimulate human evolution through education and spiritual growth
This may have been a factor in the past as a review of ancient civilizations indicates that our ancestors often knew more than they should have or could have been capable of knowing. For example, how could ancient civilizations have known about planets and star systems that could not yet be observed with the naked eye or with any known telescopic devices? The Sumerians were amazingly advanced in many fields of knowledge, but also talked of beings coming from the sky to share this information with them. Many cultures tell of people coming from the sky and educating them.

However, today’s encounters typically do not reveal much useful information because most of the time (maybe 98 percent), the beings volunteer no information. When asked, they sometimes appear annoyed or amused—yet still volunteer very little. When Betty Hill asked the creatures where they were from, they simply answered that if she did not know where her own planet was on the displayed star map, what difference would it make? Telepathic communications are usually to calm, persuade, or reassure. Most of the time the beings interact with the abductee in the same fashion as a nurse with a small child in a doctor’s office: "Hold still. . . don’t worry. . . this won’t hurt. . . you’ll be going home soon."

What little is told to us has to be questioned, as they have clearly been caught in efforts to deceive us—both with imagery and with telepathy. For example, when one abductee asked about the identity of the alien, it replied, “I am your mother.” When the subject refused to believe that answer, the alien quickly changed the answer to “I’m your mother’s best friend.” Human reactions to these experiences are quite varied—from angry and “violated” to inspired and uplifted. In this manner, some participants could claim spiritual evolvement. However, research data does not support a deliberate effort during modern times to either educate or move us forward spiritually.

5. Save us from destroying ourselves and our planet
Interestingly, a huge increase in UFO sightings occurred over the western United States after this country began testing and dropping atomic bombs. Even watching at a distance, the creatures were probably disturbed to see us wielding such power with the maturity of teenagers. Areas where this technology was developed and tested had a significant number of sightings. The 1947 Roswell, New Mexico crash was closest to the 509th Air Command—the only atomic bomb-equipped air unit in the world at that time.

Research data occasionally shows the beings have an interest in our soil, plants, water, and living tissues. UFO landings often include the sightings of beings collecting different things from our environment. Some researchers claim the mucous membranes of animals and humans are a good source for analyzing pollution levels in the air, our diet, and our environment.

It is interesting to note that the bizarre, laser-like precision cuts in cattle mutilations often involve the removal of eyes, ears, tongues, mouth tissues, rectum, and sexual organ tissues—all of which have some degree of exposure to pollutants and may collect traces in the mucous membrane. As they have watched us butcher and carve up cows, they may have concluded this mutilating process is an acceptable practice with cows. Except for a few unclear and rare incidents, human beings have not been mutilated.

Skin, hair, and rectal tissue samples are often reported taken from humans during alleged abduction encounters. It does not make sense the beings still need to know what human skin or hair looks like after all these years—unless they are monitoring something these samples might show. Abduction experiences sometimes include lectures, warnings, or holographic presentations about taking better care of our planet. Therefore, once the nuclear age began and pollution of our air and environment became issues, UFO encounters and abductions seem to have increased significantly.

6. Scientifically study humans without disturbing our society
The beings practice stealth, deception, and secrecy, rather than blatant landings in crowded cities and open contact. If we were scientists looking for life on other planets, how would we go about it—if we did find living beings in a thriving culture?

First, we would observe at a distance—like watching an ant farm under glass—so as to not disturb or distract their natural process of living. Then we would move in closer, using our best technology to avoid being seen or discovered. We would try to collect physical samples of their world and to find ways, eventually, to study the inhabitants closely without them becoming fully aware or panicked by our presence.

We might try to trick them into believing something else was actually going on. We might desire to track them—like we tag wild animals today—and implant some kinds of devices to do so. We would be wise to do longitudinal studies of the same family over a number of generations in order to study genetics. Most of all, we would not want to create a full-scale panic that would change their society, its beliefs, and its behavior. Then our studies would be contaminated and compromised.

Hmmm... all of that sounds strangely familiar, doesn’t it? First, UFO’s were observed in our skies for many years. Then landings, ground traces, and sightings of occupants became more frequent. Eventually, contact with or abduction by these beings became more prevalent. Most abductions seem to occur either in hours of darkness or under a cloak of invisibility—which has been documented many times. Deception and “screen imagery” were encountered more frequently as apparent efforts to make us believe, for example, that “four-foot bald squirrels” really exist and can actually talk to our minds, telepathically! But the human brain questions such unlikely imagery and finds flaws in these hypnotic-like suggestions.

Add in that mistakes are made in (1) some faulty or illogical details in the projected imagery, (2) being put back in the wrong bed, (3) being put back in the wrong clothes, (4) being put back in a different location—i.e., standing naked in a field with car parked nearby and clothes folded neatly in a pile, (5) being put back in an impossible location—i.e., perched on a mountain ridge with no car tracks evident or any means to drive away from that location, (6) obvious marks, scars, or unlikely bruises without any logical explanation, or (7) that the medical field has no explanation for how multiple persons could experience a period of amnesia beginning at the same moment and ending for all participants at the same minute!

We— if we were scientists—could neither account for all the possible factors in studying an alien civilization nor predict what accidental aspects or problems could develop during such a project. What is working well for the alien presence is that human beings need safety and security so much we cannot risk acceptance of such a scary unknown —that aliens are actually real. I have studied some 140 abduction experiences through over 300 hypnosis sessions and interviews, and the emotional reactions of abductees to the experience are really quite varied. On the other hand, the details of the encounters are amazingly similar – including the descriptions of the beings and their procedures. Therefore, despite the varied emotional responses to these experiences, the data gathered tend to repeat in fairly predictable patterns.

7. Further their civilization through reproduction programs
Why would any alien species need to interact with us to further their own species? First of all, there would have to be some sort of difficulty or problem. Suppose they have evolved “too far” and lost the capacity to reproduce naturally. For example, they found it easier and more efficient to use laboratory methods to reproduce or clone their species. Perhaps, through centuries of evolution and less actual use of sexual organs, the physical organs atrophied and became dysfunctional. Perhaps their emotional aspects also diminished over time with the advancement of technology and intellectual progress.

I often ponder what human beings would evolve into—if we did nothing but sit in front of our computers for the next several centuries. All processes would become more mental, intellectual, cerebral—and pass mainly through our eyes. Would we develop larger heads and larger eyes? At the same time, our bodies would not get much exercise and relationships would definitely suffer. With decreased intimacy and little physical activity, would our bodies shrink, atrophy, and lose some of their function?

Research data shows a strong, consistent pattern of alien interaction with humans to collect sperm and ova, produce some kind of hybrid children, and study our emotions and relations.

Collecting the sexual seeds may occur in a few different patterns: (1) actual extraction with medical equipment, (2) sexual imagery to stimulate and make the abductee think that he or she is having sexual relations, (3) actual sexual relations with an alien utilizing a “screen image” or deception that will be more acceptable and stimulating for the subject, (4) stimulating human beings (often not knowing each other) to crave each other intensely, have sex, and then steal the sperm and egg from them afterwards.

The latest generation of data—according to Budd Hopkins and David Jacobs—suggests adult hybrids (who appear more human than alien) are setting up “fake job interviews” on Earth in order to lure humans and mentally control them for sexual purposes.

This does not surprise me because the next “logical” step for the aliens would be to interact with us, looking more like humans and meeting in Earthly surroundings, instead of abduction by unsettling alien-looking creatures aboard spacecrafts—whose images are now plastered on T-shirts, posters, and in video games. This would make their important reproduction program evolve into a more “acceptable” and less traumatic process, supposedly. This is not the data that Budd Hopkins, David Jacobs, or I want to find, but as researchers we are often dragged, kicking and screaming, toward what the data shows us in patterns of remarkable repetition.

8. Observe us as gods or “watchers”
Primitive tribes in the last century worshipped airplanes they saw fly overhead as some form of gods. It is human nature to promote a higher intelligence to a God-like status when we cannot comprehend their advanced abilities or technology. These beings are very unlikely “gods” as they crash into our planet and have their physical bodies stored secretly by governments. Nor would they make the other blunders, screw-ups, and mistakes alluded to earlier if they were Gods. Upon occasion they have volunteered they are not Gods, but are just another species from the stars.

They may indeed be watching us, overseeing us, and even protecting us from ourselves, but not as Gods, angels, or demons. We might like to use those names because it helps us give them a role or purpose for being here. Humans like to feel that somebody is actually overseeing their lives in a protective role.

According to collected research data, there are different species of otherworldly beings visiting our planet. Although occasionally viewed together in some encounters, it is unclear how much cooperation, collusion, or competition they may have among themselves in dealing with us. There may be similar or altogether different agendas going on, based on which species is interacting with us.

Perhaps several of the above “agendas” are occurring simultaneously. Let me also add that most of the research data comes from individuals who were troubled or confused by their experiences, rather than pleased or grateful to have had contact. Therefore, abduction research data may be reflecting the contact with only a certain species of beings that is visiting us, rather than a reflection of all races of beings in contact with us. Confused? The jigsaw puzzle seems larger once again!
