Fetus Fantasy
|
|
by Paul McCarthy
|

from OMNI - Volume 16, Number 4, January 1994

During the course of a UFO abduction, Earthlings are allegedly kidnapped
|
|
by aliens and put through various medical procedures. In the most
|
|
bizarre of these, women are purportedly impregnated, only to have their
|
|
hybrid fetuses disappear.
|
|
|
|
But recent research by psychologist Michael Persinger of the Laurentian
|
|
University in Ontario suggests that reports of alien impregnation are
|
|
greatly exaggerated, if not completely false. According to Persinger,
|
|
research reveals that false pregnancy is more common than previously
|
|
thought. What's more, the women who experience it are more prone to
|
|
fantasy than women in the population at large. These two statistics, he
|
|
adds, could account for the "lost fetus" phenomenon, attributed by some
|
|
to UFOs.
|
|
|
|
To arrive at his theory, Persinger asked 106 college coeds if they had
|
|
ever experienced missed periods, abdominal enlargement, morning
|
|
sickness, and breast changes that they mistakenly attributed to
|
|
pregnancy. Surprisingly, 22 percent said yes.
|
|
|
|
These same women, Persinger found, also tended to hold more unusual
|
|
beliefs in phenonena like poltergeists and UFOs and had higher levels of
|
|
temporal-lobe brain activity, indicating a higher level of imagination.
|
|
Finally, the 22 percent were more likely than controls to report memory
|
|
blanks and night paralysis, symptoms common to abductees.
|
|
|
|
Abduction researchers convinced that human-alien offspring are not
|
|
fantasy but fact, of course, find it hard to accept Persinger's claims.
|
|
But Persinger is convinced his explanation will hold. "There is a
|
|
strong case," he says, "that we have discovered what is going on."
