I suspect both Jacob and I Hopkins would concur with this
hypothesis. It’s a plausible explanation within the context of our
current scientific paradigms.
Playing the devil’s advocate, the fact that there does seem to be an
obvious cross-generation genetic component suggests the possibility
that the genes themselves are primarily responsible for allowing
such experiences to manifest within certain individuals. IMO, such a
hypothesis is just as reasonable an explanation as compared to
conjecturing that the experiences are generated by encounters with
extraterrestrial aliens whom it is alleged are interested in
particular DNA lineages.
Come now, Steven, I don't know about your kids, but mine are not
similar enough to have the same nonreal experiences. While similar
vivid hallucinations run in families, the occasions are very rare.
Besides, you ignore all the physical evidence that is consistent with
the claimed events.
I’ll say it once again for the record, my conjecture does not mean
that such experiences should be considered any less valid, certainly
not to the experiencer.
Either the allies and their claimed behavior and supposed intentions
are real, or the claims are only in the imagination, as you argue. To
me, the former is important and the latter possibility is trivial.
Granted, some people suffer from hallucinations, which are only
important to the people who have the experience and to people who
study brain function. On the other hand, the reality of alien
visitation is important to everyone.
I suspect our current understanding of what is considered valid
reality is likely to undergo radical changes within the next century
or two.
I expect this is true. Of course, the UFO issue is not the only one
that is being debated these days and will result in significant
changes in popular belief. Popular belief is usually many years
behind what is known by people who make an effort to understand
reality. Why not get a head start on this process?
