A man gets lost driving to work one night. A job he has held for many years, he is quizzical about his situation. Having passed the exit off the interstate that leads to his place of employment, he drives to the next exit. Instead of coming around and getting back on the interstate, he chooses a country road for the trip back. He stops at a deserted intersection intending to turn left, but in mid turn, he stops and looks straight ahead, just in time to see an anomalous light zoom over his car from behind and disappear in the distance, the whole sighting lasting mere seconds. Had he been looking into his turn, or gotten back on the interstate, or even got off on the correct exit, he would never have witnessed this.
This external influence might be similar to, but not quite like mind control since there seems to be no loss of consciousness or blacking out. This could be through manipulation of seemingly natural urges or temporarily affecting memory. Upon further reflection, the event is seen as unexplainable. This phenomenon might best be labeled Psychic Persuasion.
Are some of us being contacted telepathically by extraterrestrials? Are those psychic contactees being instructed to make themselves available, possibly for the task of witnessing a sighting or being abducted? Or are some of us so sensitive that we know when an extraterrestrial is nearby?
A psychic quality to UFO sightings has been considered by the Ufological community to some degree, but like so many theories mainly to the extent of throwing spaghetti against the wall to see what would stick. The existence of trace evidence makes any but the concept of psychic persuasion obsolete. Whether we are referring to hallucinations or extreme forms of mind control, neither result in trace evidence, such as irradiated materials, photographic evidence, or truly mass sightings such as the Phoenix Lights, massive grouping of lights observed in the area of Phoenix, Arizona on March 13, 1997. The Phoenix Lights remain unidentified to this date, despite the best efforts of U.S. Air Force disinformation specialists and pseudo-skeptics such as those associated with the increasingly irrelevant Center for Skeptical Inquiry (CSI).
I did not intend to sit here and opine about the psycho-physiological machinations required to accomplish psychic persuasion. Please understand that I am not a psychologist, and would never pretend to be. (Unlike some scientists who try to be Ufologists, but can only attain the rating of close-minded and ignorant skeptic.) But it does not require a traffic engineer to recognize a stop sign.
