dreaming,” being awake even while asleep and thus better able to protect oneself. The presence
of this group of aliens on the planet, however, is fairly recent in comparison with many of the
other races.
William Bramley, author of The Gods of Eden, says that abduction cases tend to follow a
distinct pattern: a human being is involuntarily taken aboard a UFO, is given a comprehensive
physical examination, and is then released. This appears to us much like what the wildlife experts
do with game, especially endangered species which they wish to monitor—capture, tag, implant
transmitter, and release. And don’t get us wrong, implantation of monitoring devices is not just an
X-Files fantasy.
Bramley details one of the most famous early experiences that took place with the abduction
of Betty Andreasson:
“In the room, Mrs. Andreasson saw a large bird about fifteen feet in height. The bird
resembled an eagle, but it had a longer neck. It was in fact, a replica of a phoenix, and it had the
illusion of being alive. As Mrs. Andreasson stood and watched it, the phoenix began to undergo a
transformation. Mrs. Andreasson felt an intense heat so powerful that she cried out in pain during
her hypnosis session while recounting the incident. These strange alien room abruptly cooled off.
Where the “Great Bird” had stood there now burned a small fire. The fire died down to a pile of
gray ash with a few red embers. As the pile continued to cool, Betty saw something in the ashes:
“Now, looks like a worm,” she recalled under hypnosis, “a big fat worm. It just looks like a big fat
worm—a big gray worm just lying there.”
What Mrs. Andreasson had witnessed was a re-enactment of the legend of the phoenix,
clearly staged for her benefit. The phoenix is a Brotherhood symbol which has often been used to
promote apocalypticism and justify endless human suffering., according to Bramley. Although
Mrs. Andreasson’s “vision” of the phoenix constituted only a small portion of her abduction
experience, the investigators concluded that it is only too obvious that the aliens had brought
Betty to the bird as the focal point of her whole experience. It seemed to be the purpose for her
travel through the red and green spaces. As a result of her experience, she began to include
UFOs in her own Christian apocalyptic belief system. Researcher Raymond Fowler probed these
beliefs:
Raymond Fowler: Have they (UFOs) anything to do with what we call the second
coming of Christ?
Betty: They definitely do.
Raymond Fowler: When is this going to occur?
Betty: It is not for them to tell you.
Raymond Fowler: Do they know?
Betty: They know the Master is getting ready, and very close.
“If real, Betty Andreasson’s experience was a remarkable one. It would indicate that she was
but one in a very long line of reluctant prophets forcibly implanted with an apocalyptic religious
message by members of what appears to be a custodial society. (The issue of the second coming
of Christ shall be further dealt with throughout this book.) Like the “Ezekiels” who preceded her in
history, Betty Andreasson’s testimony suggests she suffered considerable mental tampering at
the hands of her abductors. This tampering may account for some of the unusual perceptual
