Regarding this subject as a whole, I would like to say that I do not deny the possibility that someone may have been abducted. I doubt it, but it is conceivable. On the other hand we know for a fact that some people who say they have had these experiences did not. People such as Ms. Hatoyama dreamed up the whole thing. I expect she sincerely believes it, but I am sure it did not happen. In other words, testimony of the person about his or her experience is not valid evidence.
MRI truth detector technology is improving rapidly. In a few years I expect we will be able to test people such as Ms. Hatoyama and find out if they are telling the truth or lying. This should work much better than today's polygraph lie detector machines. I expect we will find that many people who claimed they were abducted are telling the truth, but with people like Hatoyama, it will only prove that people have false memories. We know they do already. It is well established. Perhaps we will find a physical difference between false memories and real ones, but I doubt it. - Jed
