H G WELLS'S WAR OF THE WORLDS COMES TO AMERICA<br />

In<br />

1897, when HG Wells's ^ya^o///)e<br />

H/oaWs was published, man had not yet<br />

even learned to harness the power <strong>of</strong><br />

flight. In his original story the Martians<br />

reached Earth in bullet-like projectiles<br />

fired as if from a gun and proceeded to<br />

terrorize the Home Counties in England<br />

from within walking machines. In 1953,<br />

George Pal's film moved the location to<br />

California and updated the walking<br />

machines to flying saucers. It was a<br />

clear reaction to the flying saucer<br />

phenomenon. Pal said, 'With all the<br />

talk about flying saucers. War <strong>of</strong> the<br />

<strong>World</strong>s had become especially timely.<br />

And that was one <strong>of</strong> the reasons we<br />

updated the story.' Just as films mirror<br />

UFO reports, conversely, detailed<br />

analysis shows that some aspects <strong>of</strong><br />

UFOs follow film and other<br />

mythologies; the interaction is a<br />

complex one which requires serious<br />

research. Genuine reports <strong>of</strong> aliens<br />

<strong>of</strong>ten act like their filmed predecessors,<br />

yet the films were made before alien<br />

reports were <strong>of</strong>fered. Simple copy-cat<br />

claims do not explain the complexity <strong>of</strong><br />

the interaction, which suggests that a<br />

genuine experience is being overlaid<br />

on a basic belief system which can<br />

manifest itself in fact or fiction.<br />

least as reported, the most explicit<br />

example <strong>of</strong> missing time in any<br />

abduction case.<br />

According to the report the two<br />

witnesses, known as Sara Shaw and<br />

Jan Whitely, both in their early<br />

twenties, were living in a remote<br />

part <strong>of</strong> the Tujunga Canyon in<br />

California. Sara was woken by a<br />

moving light out <strong>of</strong> her bedroom<br />

window which apparently terrified<br />

her. She feared it might be the<br />

headlights <strong>of</strong> a motorcycle gang<br />

seeking to attack the isolated<br />

women. The smooth movement <strong>of</strong><br />

the lights quickly ruled out this<br />

possibility as the road towards their<br />

cabin was rough and would have<br />

caused 'bouncing' motion. Jan was<br />

now awake and went to get her<br />

dressing-gown, Sara noticed it was<br />

2 a.m. on the clock.<br />

As apparently only a fraction <strong>of</strong> a<br />

second passed she looked at the<br />

clock again feeling giddy and<br />

confused and noticed that the minute<br />

hand had moved on twenty minutes.<br />

When Jan checked the clock she<br />

confirmed this observation but<br />

pointed out that the hour hand had<br />

also moved on two hours.<br />

Apparently both witnesses had<br />

suffered a two hour, twenty minutes<br />

time lapse and this caused them to<br />

panic so considerably that they left<br />

their home and went to Jan's parents.<br />

Regression hypnosis revealed a<br />

classic abduction story, several <strong>of</strong><br />

which we shall see later in this<br />

database. The case has also come<br />

under considerable scrutiny from<br />

those who believe abductions<br />

constitute a psychological<br />

phenomenon as it appears that the<br />

two girls' sexual relationships may<br />

have generated anxieties <strong>of</strong> w'hich<br />

the abduction may have been a<br />

manifestation.<br />
