Last
week researcher Chris Rutkowski, of Winnipeg revealed that
British Columbians reported 114, or 49% of the 232 UFO
sightings in Canada in 1990. For some the survey was
confirmation of a long-held belief that B.C. is home to more
than its share of those on the lunatic fringe. But for those
who claim to have encountered beings from outer space, the
survey was a confidence-builder. They could take comfort in
the knowledge that more and more of their neighbours are
willing to risk being classified as crazies[sic], by speaking
of encounters with extra-terrestrials.
Alvena
Scott, a 41-year old Vancouver receptionist, is one of those
finding security in numbers. Miss Scott claims she has been
about as close as anyone can get to a space alien. Indeed she
is one of about 20 people in the Vancouver area who say they
have been abducted by extra-terrestrials. Apparently some of
the aliens were nice enough to operate on her to repair a
faulty kidney. Others, however, were only interested in her
reproductive capacity. She says the latter group impregnated
her during a March 1990 abduction. Three months later,
despite the fact she had been celibate for years, she
experienced a miscarriage.
Miss
Scott says that in the summer of 1985 she was experiencing
excruciating pain in the area of her left kidney. Doctors
told her the kidney would have to be removed but she feared
surgery and would not consent to an operation. She explains
that during this period she began nightly meditations and it
was after one of these sessions that the first alien showed
up in her bedroom. The next thing she knew she was in a
circular room surrounded by seven-foot-tall, blue-eyed,
human- like creatures. She awoke in her bed the next morning
to find blood on her sheets and on her torso. But her kidney
problem was gone.
Miss
Scott says that five years after her encounter with the
beneficent, tall, blue-eyed beings she had a bad experience
with some small, insect-featured extra-terrestrials. She
claims that in March of 1990 she was "forcibly
taken" in the middle of the night to a spaceship. Apart
from going through a series of tunnels she remembers nothing
of the journey to the spaceship but she has vivid
recollections of her experiences aboard the aliens' craft.
She was one of about 20 "earth people," of both
sexes, on the ship. After communicating with the aliens by
telepathy she learned the earth women would have sperm
"injected into them." She received sperm but was
not told who or what provided it. Three months later she had
a miscarriage.
A
tissue sample from the miscarriage has allegedly been given
to Lorne Goldfader, director of the Vancouver-based UFO
Research Institute of Canada (UFORIC). Mr. Goldfader says
other UFO researchers have had evidence of fetuses
mysteriously disappearing. To reduce the risk of theft he's
not disclosing where the tissue is being stored. The
41-year-old Vancouver postal worker says the sample, which
"appears to be in the first stage of a
foetus[sic]," will be examined by a pathologist in due
course. However, as of last week, despite a year-long search,
Mr. Goldfader had been unable to find a lab willing to
perform the analysis.
Another
UFO researcher, Graham Conway from Delta, says that based on
his knowledge of the case and the phenomenon, the sample
tissue "does indeed look to be what he (Mr. Goldfader)
claims it is." Mr. Conway, 64, described the material as
a tiny but "perfectly human (-looking) foetus[sic] with
a tiny umbilical chord attached to it." The former high
school teacher says he has no doubts about Miss Scott's
"sincerity" in the matter. And after 44 years in
the (UFO research) field, he thinks this might well be the
long-awaited breakthrough in abduction research.
His
experience in the field leads him to believe that accounts
like those of Miss Scott are becoming too numerous to ignore.
"If it's a figment of the imagination, it is happening
to a lot of imaginations. I believe that there's inference
with birth."
In
another case he investigated, a B.C. woman reported being
taken aboard a spacecraft and introduced to a boy she was
told was her son. He says most of the women who report such
genetic tampering are in the 35-40 age group. He adds that a
significant number of "abducted" women have been
sexually abused in their earth lives.
For
her part Miss Scott says the alien encounters not only cured
her kidney problems but also gave her a whole new outlook on
life and made her "a much more spiritual person."
Still, she confesses that there has been a negative
side-effect. "My relatives think I'm nuts." --
