Dennis asks a question that really has an easy answer.

C'mon, Dennis, read the abduction literature (and tell Jaques Vallee,
who makes the same point, to do some reading, too).

You don't need to believe that any of this is real, but it's clear
from all the descriptions of alien activities that they need our
participation. There's far more than mere sperm-and-egg dancing
going on.

Supposedly they make women cuddle hybrid babies. They invent
games to make children practice telekinesis. They create r
elationships, bringing abductees together (Linda and Richard,
remember?). They deliver environmental messages, which even
if they're not genuine might involve a study of our reactions. They
do the procedure David Jacobs labelled "mindscan," fastening their
big black eyes on ours, and somehow entering our minds.

Again, Dennis...you don't have to believe any of this goes on. But
it's all in the abduction literature, and outlines a scenario in
which the aliens cultivate relationships with us. They may also
be using all the advanced technology you decide they ought to
have -- while reverting to elementary procedures to make sure
we know what's going on.

Time to retire that tired old Vallee argument.
