#alien abductees

At the International UFO Conference, held annually in the Arizona desert, photographer Stephen Hirsch had the opportunity to meet a number of people who claimed to have experienced contact with extraterrestrial beings.

The portraits he took, and the abductees' descriptions of their experiences, are fascinating.

Cynthia

"I've never experienced unconditional love till I've met them face to face and had conscious contact with them."

Vivian

"They had been teaching me things that I was supposed to bring through and teach to others here on Earth, and I hadn't been doing a very good job of it."

Jeffery

"It was a human hybrid. He looks like a black man but he had a strange voice that wasn't like black in origin. He sounded like a white man."

Nancy

"I remember the first night that I got home after I was taken, staring out my bedroom window forever. And wishing for them to come back."

Bruce

"I said, 'Why did you bring me here?' And he said, 'Because these two moons are going opposite directions... I just wanted you to see that.'"

Should we feel guilty for maintaining cynicism while there no logical way to prove or disprove self-professed alien abductees?

Have you ever seen a UFO? Do you think you were abducted by Aliens?

Alien Abductees for Veganism!

(considering the parallels)
