Last week researcher Chris
Rutkowski, of Winnipeg revealed that British Columbians reported 114, or 49%
of the 232 UFO sightings in Canada in 1990. For some the survey was confirmation
of a long-held belief that B.C. is home to more than its share of those on
the lunatic fringe. But for those who claim to have encountered beings from
outer space, the survey was a confidence-builder. They could take comfort
in the knowledge that more and more of their neighbours are willing to risk
being classified as crazies[sic], by speaking of encounters with extra-terrestrials.
Alvena Scott, a 41-year
old Vancouver receptionist, is one of those finding security in numbers. Miss
Scott claims she has been about as close as anyone can get to a space alien.
Indeed she is one of about 20 people in the Vancouver area who say they have
been abducted by extra-terrestrials. Apparently some of the aliens were nice
enough to operate on her to repair a faulty kidney. Others, however, were
only interested in her reproductive capacity. She says the latter group impregnated
her during a March 1990 abduction. Three months later, despite the fact she
had been celibate for years, she experienced a miscarriage.
Miss Scott says that in
the summer of 1985 she was experiencing excruciating pain in the area of her
left kidney. Doctors told her the kidney would have to be removed but she
feared surgery and would not consent to an operation. She explains that during
this period she began nightly meditations and it was after one of these sessions
that the first alien showed up in her bedroom. The next thing she knew she
was in a circular room surrounded by seven-foot-tall, blue-eyed, human- like
creatures. She awoke in her bed the next morning to find blood on her sheets
and on her torso. But her kidney problem was gone.
Miss Scott says that five
years after her encounter with the beneficent, tall, blue-eyed beings she
had a bad experience with some small, insect-featured extra-terrestrials.
She claims that in March of 1990 she was "forcibly taken" in the middle of
the night to a spaceship. Apart from going through a series of tunnels she
remembers nothing of the journey to the spaceship but she has vivid recollections
of her experiences aboard the aliens' craft. She was one of about 20 "earth
people," of both sexes, on the ship. After communicating with the aliens by
telepathy she learned the earth women would have sperm "injected into them."
She received sperm but was not told who or what provided it. Three months
later she had a miscarriage.
A tissue sample from the
miscarriage has allegedly been given to Lorne Goldfader, director of the Vancouver-based
UFO Research Institute of Canada (UFORIC). Mr. Goldfader says other UFO researchers
have had evidence of fetuses mysteriously disappearing. To reduce the risk
of theft he's not disclosing where the tissue is being stored. The 41-year-old
Vancouver postal worker says the sample, which "appears to be in the first
stage of a foetus[sic]," will be examined by a pathologist in due course.
However, as of last week, despite a year-long search, Mr. Goldfader had been
unable to find a lab willing to perform the analysis.
Another UFO researcher,
Graham Conway from Delta, says that based on his knowledge of the case and
the phenomenon, the sample tissue "does indeed look to be what he (Mr. Goldfader)
claims it is." Mr. Conway, 64, described the material as a tiny but "perfectly
human (-looking) foetus[sic] with a tiny umbilical chord attached to it."
The former high school teacher says he has no doubts about Miss Scott's "sincerity"
in the matter. And after 44 years in the (UFO research) field, he thinks this
might well be the long-awaited breakthrough in abduction research.
His experience in the field
leads him to believe that accounts like those of Miss Scott are becoming too
numerous to ignore. "If it's a figment of the imagination, it is happening
to a lot of imaginations. I believe that there's inference with birth."
In another case he investigated,
a B.C. woman reported being taken aboard a spacecraft and introduced to a
boy she was told was her son. He says most of the women who report such genetic
tampering are in the 35-40 age group. He adds that a significant number of
"abducted" women have been sexually abused in their earth lives.
For her part Miss Scott
says the alien encounters not only cured her kidney problems but also gave
her a whole new outlook on life and made her "a much more spiritual person."
Still, she confesses that there has been a negative side-effect. "My relatives
think I'm nuts." -- Barbara Tandory
