There’s a new Mysterious Universe article from me, which starts like this:
“One of the most fascinating aspects of the UFO phenomenon – and particularly so that which focuses on the “alien abduction” controversy – is one which makes a connection between encounters of the unearthly kind and owls. There are numerous reports on file where people who have undergone UFO experiences report sightings of anomalous owls. And by ‘anomalous’ I mean owls that (A) manifest directly before or after the encounter and in the same location; and (B) seem to be much larger than the average, known kind of owl.
“This has led to an intriguing theory: that the sightings of owls are actually nothing of the sort. They may be nothing less than skilfully-created ‘screen memories’ which are implanted into the mind of the abductee or the experiencer, with the specific intent of masking the true nature of what occurred.”
