Many years ago, while watching a television program on UFOs, an image of aliens looking down at some poor human presumably strapped to a table (regardless: he/she was certainly there against their will) came on the screen, and I almost jumped out of my chair, I was so freaked. Which of course made me feel very damn silly. A few months ago, an image came on the television of red eyed , gray like aliens, running towards the viewer. That also startled me in a very unexpected, nervous induing way. And today I was over at Lesley’s Debris Field blog, and the image she had up (which I borrowed and have here) did the same thing: creeped me out. (This last image: I didn’t even notice the little spindly bastards were moving until just now, when I was getting ready to post this. Hmm, double dose of creepy.)

It was the large roundness of those deep dark spheres in Richard’s painting shown the other night that caused me to react so strongly, as well as the bottomless black eye color. While I did have a negative reaction to the “typical” almond shaped eyes in the previously mentioned image, the other reactions have been to beings with large round eyes, including red eyes at times, as with many of the Mothman artwork.

In Captured!, Betty Hill comments about the eyes of the beings:

“...we had never seen eyes like theirs before. In some manner, both of us blocked out a full description of these. Whenever Dr. Simon said “eyes” to me, I burst out crying. Something about the eyes was terribly upsetting to me.” (Captured! p145)

(This last bit about crying is interesting; abruptly, on the drive back into Eugene from McMinnville, I began to cry, and I have no idea why. In fact, I was having an anxiety attack, and it was very disturbing. This could be due to anything; allergies, tiredness, asthma, disruption of a usual routine, who knows. But it was downright weird in its abruptness and just from out of nowhere. Was there another explanation for this intense shift in emotion, having to do with things stirred up from the steady dose of UFO phenomena material over the past three days?) Betty continues concerning her response to large round black eyes: “When I look at the eyes of the Wall Gecko, I became physically ill, a feeling of horror. I cannot say that the eyes are the same, but from my reaction to this, I suspect that they are. . .” (Captured! p146)

And, as I’ve so often experienced when writing about these experiences, Betty continues, relating “feelings of being upset, ill, etc.” as she is writing, and notes the oddness of her reaction to geckos and other creatures such as insects, since she “has no fear” of those animals.

All very interesting and I have no idea what it means. I don’t recall any literal visitations or abductions or sightings of aliens. While I’ve had a life time of UFO sightings, missing time, dreams, and encounters with entities during mediation and on the astral plane, I can’t say I’ve had anything straightforward or literal occur. Yet clearly there is some subconscious memory of something that remains hidden, either by my own choice or “theirs.”

The eye shape and color is curious; my responses have mostly been to round, and in some cases, red glowing eyes. (I did have an experience with a red eyed entity when a child.) Is this image closer to the truth or reality of some part of the phenomena? Or just a symbol, a trigger but without any specific meaning? It’s all speculation of course, but through our speculations we can uncover some intriguing clues to the mystery.
