Unfortunately, Strieber doesn't treat us to any particulars.</I><BR/><BR/>Yeah, how about that "minor" oversight, eh?<BR/><BR/>I read Strieber's "Nye County" journal entry. Then I googled every combination of search terms, etc., to locale, noted by Strieber (in his extremely nebulous manner), and found, after extensive searching, not a single reference to any mutilation/murder incidents whatsoever, other than deviant human-caused ones, and even then none in New Jersey, Westchester County, etc. None. Fancy that. Must be a "cover-up," right? Or, untrue. Your choice. <BR/><BR/>[There was a pretty horrible human mutilation case, including some quite repellant photographs, from a case of several years ago that occurred in Brazil, where a man was mutilated in a manner very similar to the pattern of cattle mutilations, but that has no specific relevance to Strieber's claims, and was probably done by some crazy bastard(s) emulating the known patterns of excision, not "aliens." Or, also, it is a known fact that predator animals will attack and consume soft tissues first of dead animals, and subsequent necrotic effects contribute to what might _appear_ to be mutilation]<BR/><BR/>WARNING! The photos are quite disturbing, but the Brazilian case is detailed at: <BR/><BR/>http://tinyurl.com/5z63o8 <BR/><BR/>Not for the faint of heart.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4147219.post-2829986809355416812008-04-19T00:27:00.000-05:002008-04-19T00:27:00.000-05:00MAD--Strieber himself has more than hinted at prob...MAD--<BR/><BR/>Strieber himself has more than hinted at probable abuse in his childhood, although he's never indicated that priests were involved.<BR/><BR/>I suspect he actually was subjected to something quite horrible and that he's a genuine victim.<BR/><BR/>The "visitors" could be an elaborate metaphor his mind has constructed, as you suggest.

Not to be callous, but like millions of people across the globe, I think Strieber was probably molested by a pedophile priest in his youth, and instead of just facing this reality, he has concocted this elaborate story of being abducted by gray aliens, viewing himself as a Christopher Walken type of guy, and has spent the past 30 years continually convincing himself of this story for the sake of book sales. He might be a nice fellow, but listening to the guy for more then a couple minutes, I get the impression that something isn't quite right in his old belfry. His idea of logical and rational reasoning leaves much to be desired.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4147219.post-18848924998023023162008-04-18T13:12:00.000-05:002008-04-18T13:12:00.000-05:00Well, he certainly doesn't sound like a Benson & H...Well, he certainly doesn't sound like a Benson & Hedges sort of fellow ...Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11074004681516756703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4147219.post-3235679922765855602008-04-18T05:24:00.000-05:002008-04-18T05:24:00.000-05:00From the journal entry (excerpt):"In 1996, the vis...From the journal entry (excerpt):<BR/><BR/>"In 1996, the visitors posted a guardian in the woods behind our house. He spent time in the house, and also in lean-tos that he built in the woods. Although he was extremely shy, I saw him from time to time, and what I saw concerned me a good deal. He looked human, but oddly deformed, like somebody who had grown to adulthood without reaching puberty. From a distance, he had the look of a child. But up close, he seemed sort of weathered. Really very odd. He was also somehow frantic, as if he was suffering inside. He smoked constantly, and I could find places where he had been standing by the dozens of cigarette butts that he would leave behind. <BR/><BR/>"Was he a genetic experiment gone wrong, left behind to protect an asset? Or was he just--well--an alien?" <BR/><BR/>I wonder where this "guardian" bought his cigarettes, and what brand they were. Marleys?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
