Preliminary Findings Of Project MILAB:
Evidence For Military Kidnappings Of Alleged UFO Abductees

I. Introduction

Very few of the popular books on the subject of UFO abductions have mentioned these experiences. Especially disconcerting is the fact that abductees recall seeing military intelligence personnel together with alien beings, working side by side in these secret facilities. The presence of human military and civilian personnel occupying the same physical reality as alien beings exceeds the mind-sets of the skeptics and the open-minded researchers by several orders of magnitude. The skeptics would rather believe that stories of aliens and military personnel in governmental underground facilities are fabrications designed to elicit attention from conspiracy believers or hallucinations in general.

Researchers in the field of mind control suggest that these cases are evidence that the whole UFO abduction phenomenon is staged by the intelligence community as a cover for their illegal experiments [2]. The open-minded researchers who are trying to gain respect for abduction research ignore these stories, since they represent only a minor fraction of the cases in their files [3]. I think that abduction cases involving abductee reports of being abducted by the military as well as alien beings, are very important for two reasons:

1.) If the UFO community has evidence that a covert military intelligence task force is involved in the abduction phenomenon, we would know that this phenomenon represents a matter of national security.

2.) The alleged military involvement in the abduction phenomenon could be evidence that the military uses abductees for mind control experiments as test-targets for microwave weapons. Moreover, the military could be monitoring and even kidnapping abductees for information gathering purposes during, before and after a UFO abduction. 

If either of these points are correct, researchers and victims can expect to run into early resistance when proposing Congressional hearings concerning UFOs and abductions. It is for this reason that I have created Project MILAB and present in this article my preliminary findings of this study. MILAB is the acronym for Military Abductions of alleged UFO Abductees. I reviewed the relevant literature, contacted UFO and mind control researchers, as well as MILAB abductees and mind control victims from all over the world. I have compared my findings with the comprehensive UFO Abduction Study by Dr. Thomas Bullard [4,5], the MUFON Abduction Transcription Project [6,7] and the MIT Abduction Proceedings [1].

II. Helicopter Activity in Connection with MILABs

Importantly, these helicopter cases occurred in North America; three within the United States and one in Canada. Curiously, there were also sightings of mysterious helicopters in England during the seventies, but they were not connected with animal mutilations or UFO abductions [12].

I have discovered that the helicopter activity associated with UFO abductions has increased from the eighties to the present day. Dan Wright has ten cases in the MUFON Transcription Project files (at the time of this publication), where helicopters were seen flying in the area of the abductee's home within hours of an alleged UFO abduction [7]. I have also found that many abduction researchers in North America have, on average, about three helicopter cases connected with UFO abductions, in their files. It appears to me that this is a North American phenomenon since none of the contacted researchers in Australia, Africa, Europe and South America have well investigated abduction cases that are connected with helicopter activity.

Well-known abductees such as previously mentioned Betty Andreasson-Luca, as well as Debbie Jordan, Kathy Mitchell, Whitley Strieber, Leah Haley, Katharina Wilson, Beth Collins, Anna Jamerson and many more, have been harassed by these phantom helicopters [13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 20]. It is not appropriate to suggest that these helicopters are a nineties version of the black Cadillacs belonging to the Men in Black (MIB) [4], since some abductees have photographs of them and they have also been seen by witnesses who have nothing to do with the UFO phenomenon. [e.g. 10, 13, 18]. In other words, the unmarked helicopters are a physical phenomenon (perhaps contracted by a secret military intelligence task force), while the MIB phenomenon seems to have a paranormal derivation.

Let us summarize what we know about the mysterious helicopter activity in five points:

1.) The helicopter activity began during the late sixties to early seventies and seemed to be connected with animal mutilations.

2.) During the above time frame, the helicopters showed only a minor interest in UFO abductees, appearing occasionally after UFO sightings.

3.) The helicopter activity began to increase in relation to UFO abductions during the eighties and up to the present day. However, it also continued to be reported in proximity to animal mutilation sites across North America.

4.) At present, many North American abduction researchers have some mysterious helicopter cases in their files.

5.) There were reports of phantom helicopter activity in England during the seventies, but it seems that their interest in animal mutilations and abductees is limited to North America.

III. Alleged Kidnappings by Military Intelligence Personnel

The abduction experiences of Leah Haley and Katharina Wilson are full of MILAB encounters [15, 16]. Some of Katharina Wilson's experiences are comparable with mind control experiments. For example, she writes of a flashback from her childhood where she remembers being forced into what appears to be a Skinner Box-like container which may have been used for behavior modification purposes. Because of these types of experiences, Katharina Wilson published an excellent article on her Web Site titled Project Open Mind: Are Some Alien Abductions Government Mind Control Experiments? [19] Beth Collins and Anna Jamerson included hypnosis transcripts of an abduction by human military personnel in their book Connections [17], and the late Dr. Karla Turner investigated MILABs in her books Into the Fringe and Taken: Inside the Alien-Human Abduction Agenda [20].

A worldwide survey revealed that most North American abduction researchers have on average, between two and five MILAB cases in their files. At present, it seems to me that there are no UFO-related MILABs in Australia, South America, Africa, Europe, England or Ireland. I compared typical UFO abduction scenarios that were described in Dan Wright's MUFON Abduction Transcription Project with ten well investigated MILAB victims: Casey Turner, Katharina Wilson, Leah Haley, Debbie Jordan, "Polly," "Pat," "Lisa," "Beth," "Angie" and "Amy." The last six names are pseudonyms of abductees from the late Dr. Karla Turner's book Taken [20]. What I found were many differences between abductions by alleged alien beings and abductions by military personnel.

MILABs involve the following elements:

Dark, unmarked helicopter activity, the appearance of strange vans or buses outside the houses of abductees, exposure to disorienting electromagnetic fields, drugging, and transport by a helicopter, bus or truck to an unknown building or an underground military facility. Usually after the military kidnappings there are physical aftereffects such as grogginess and sometimes nausea. There is also a difference when the abductors appear. In most UFO abduction cases, the beings appear through a closed window, wall, or the abductee feels a strange presence in the room. Most abductees report that they are paralyzed from the mental power of the alien beings. During MILABs the abductee reports that the kidnappers give him or her a shot with a syringe. It is also interesting that MILAB abductees report that they are examined by human doctor's in rectangular rooms and not in round sterile rooms, as they are described during most UFO abductions [4, 5, 6, 7]. The described rooms, halls and furniture are similar to terrestrial hospital rooms, laboratories or research facilities and have nothing to do with "UFO" furniture.

During a MILAB, the examination is similar as during UFO abductions, however, the MILAB victim is not paralyzed, but rather, tied to an examination table or a gynecological chair. Sometimes, the abductee gets a strong drink before the examination. This is perhaps a contrast-enhancing fluid. MILAB doctors are usually dressed in white lab coats and show an interest in implants as well as gynecological examinations. In some MILAB cases military doctors searched for implants and sometimes even implanted the abductee with a military device. Therefore, surgeons extracting alleged alien implants should be prepared in the event they find military devices since human implant technology is very advanced.

IV. Terrestrial Implants

A similar bio-chip for humans was developed by Dr. Daniel Man in the United States. Dr. Daniel Man has held a U.S. patent for a homing device since 1989, that can be implanted in humans [22]. He developed the implant for solving the missing children problem. This device is slightly larger than the Destron implant and cannot be injected with a special syringe. Instead, a small surgical incision must be made for it to be implanted. It is important to note, that Dr. Man claims that the best location for his implant may be behind the ear. MILAB abductees like Debbie Jordan have reported that doctors have removed implants from their ears! 

Dr. Man says that the device is powered by a small battery that can be routinely charged with a device that is held outside the body near the location of the implant. Those individuals in charge of monitoring the implants (and therefore the people) could use three satellites or specially equipped helicopters if they wanted to find a missing person. By using triangulation to follow the signal from the implant, satellites or the helicopters could pinpoint the implant's exact location. Before Dr. Man's device becomes available for use in humans in the United States, it will have to be approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

An agency interested in monitoring physiological information from an abductee during a UFO abduction could use biomedical telemetry. Biomedical telemetry is defined as a special area of biomedical instrumentation that permits the transmission of physiological information from an often inaccessible location to a remote monitoring site [23]. The transmitting unit can be implanted within a subject's body. Animals have been monitored with biotelemetry for about 30 years now. By using telemetric systems as a method of monitoring abductees, the military could obtain physiological data, such as respiration, muscle tension, and the presence of adrenaline in the bloodstream.

There is evidence that the military developed Dr. Man's implant technology years ago. Research in the observation and control of human behavior and its possible use in rehabilitation was performed during the sixties. National Security experts like Dr. Steven Metz and Dr. James Kievit predicted in their report The Revolution in Military Affairs and Conflict Short of War for the US Army War College, that in the near future every American at risk could be equipped with an electronic individual position locator device (IPLD) [24]. They suggested that such a device could be permanently implanted under the skin with automatic remote activation upon departure from the United States, while passing through a security screening system at the airport, for example. The predictions by these national security experts resemble the plans of Dr. Joseph A. Meyer, a computer specialist with the National Security Agency (NSA). During the seventies, Dr. Meyer proposed attaching transponders to all Americans arrested for various crimes [2].

During the late fifties and early sixties neuroscientist Dr. Jose Delgado invented the stimoceiver, a electrode capable of receiving and transmitting electronic signals via FM radio waves. Such a device implanted in the brain via the sinus cavity for example, will act as a powerful stimulant when activated by FM radio waves. One can suggest that the stimoceiver has since been modified to receive stimulation from microwave pulses and is capable of wielding a surprising degree of control over the implanted victim's response mechanisms [25].

Implants were being used on unwitting persons as early as fifty years ago. One well documented case of the implantation of an electronic device into a victim is the case of Robert Naeslund. Mr. Naeslund claims that he was unwittingly implanted during an operation in Stockholm, Sweden. He has X-rays which clearly show a mushroom-shaped device in his brain. He claims that the operation was performed by Dr. Curt Strand, who inserted the device in his head through the right nasal passage [26].

The transnasal approach to implants is in common use in Neurosurgery [27, 28, 29, 30, 31]. Interestingly, alien abductees have been reporting since the sixties, how alien beings have implanted them by placing small objects up their noses through the nasal passage and sinus cavity. Alleged alien abductees and mind control victims relay that either alien doctors or human doctors performed these procedures. 

Robert Naeslund is not alone, he is now a researcher of Gruppen, an organization against illegal mind control experiments. Gruppen and other organizations like the Freedom of Thought Foundation have collected a lot of evidence that a secret implantation program is underway [26, 27]. These organizations are in contact with many victims from all over the world who have experienced similar effects as Naeslund, but have nothing to do with the UFO community. 

V. Virtual Reality Scenarios and Microwave Hearing

The New World Vistas was a major undertaking for the USAF Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) [33]. This military publication was published in June 1996 and is a forecast of possible military developments over the next 50 years. In this publication, military scientists suggest that the development of electromagnetic energy sources, the output of which can be pulsed, shaped, and focused and coupled with the human body will be able to: 1) allow one to prevent voluntary muscular movements, 2) control emotions and actions, 3) produce sleep, 4) transmit suggestions, 5) interfere with both short-term and long-term memory, and 6) both produce and delete an experience set.

The military scientists argue that the concept of imprinting a virtual reality experience set is highly speculative, but nonetheless highly exciting. If such a technology was developed in secret and exists today, the unexplainable vividness of some abduction accounts may be explained by the implantation of an experience set into the brain of an abductee. Dr. Joseph Sharp and Allen Frey experimented with microwaves and transmitted spoken words directly into the audio cortex via pulsed-microwaves. Dr. Frey's work in this field, dating back to the sixties, gave rise to the so called "Frey Effect," which is commonly known as "microwave hearing" [34, 35].

Again, alleged alien abductees and mind control victims sometimes report that they hear voices in their heads, although they are not schizophrenic. Certainly these scenarios cannot be the case for all UFO abductions like multiple abductions, but it may explain a small portion and may play a significant role in MILABs.

VI. Otherworldly Journeys and Underground Military Facilities

1.) Preparation: The alien beings put the abductee into a protective environment for the trip.

2.) Travel: Actual transit to the Otherworld occurs.

3.) Underground: The abductee passes underground. 

4.) Landscape: The abductee sees the surface of the Otherworld.

5.) Museum: The tour of the Otherworld includes a stop at a museum or zoo.

In Dr. Bullard's study there are 10 UFO abduction cases where the abductee experienced an Otherworldly Journey in an underworld, during their UFO abduction. A typical Otherworldly Journey is Betty Andreasson's experience in 1950. She experienced seeing a UFO plunge into a sea and come out again, and then enter huge crystalline caverns which broadened into a vast underworld. Less frequently the examination occurs on the Otherworld. During an abduction experience in 1967 Betty Andreasson passed through a long dark tunnel similar to a mine shaft cut out of rock. In addition, Dr. Gilda Moura informed me that she has investigated UFO abduction cases during which abductees reported Otherworldly Journeys into underground caves in Brazil.

It is interesting that these Otherworldly Journeys are not comparable to well investigated MILAB underground cases. The Otherworldly Journey experiences have a mystical quality, while the MILAB underground experiences seem to be a manifestation in our reality. MILAB abductees describe elevators, hallways, generators, conference and medical rooms. Contrary to experiences during Otherworldly Journeys, if a MILAB abductee is kidnapped to an underground facility, the abductors examine the victims there. Some abductees report Otherworldly Journeys and MILAB experiences separately [16, 20]. Beth, an abductee from Dr. Turner's book Taken: Inside the Alien-Human Abduction Agenda, described flashbacks which began with her seeing a small flying disc and then entering a well lit underground city [20]. The craft flew through a tunnel passage into an enormous cavern that contained several buildings. UFOs were parked in various locations and alien beings were working side by side with human military personnel. In her next flashback Beth somehow flew through a body of water and into a tunnel, and then emerged from a lake.

Such flashbacks should be investigated very carefully since they could be a mixture of an Otherworldly Journey (entering a well lit underground city) and a MILAB underground experience (seeing military personnel). It is also important to note that some abductees have flashbacks and they remember aliens and military personnel together, but during hypnosis the abductee remembers only the military personnel [15, 37]. It is possible the abductee mixed an alien abduction experience and a MILAB scenario, or that the abductee underwent some kind of hypno-programming by military psychiatrists during the MILAB. It is also possible that the military is using Electronic Dissolution of Memory (EDOM). This is accomplished by electronically jamming the brain, causing the neurotransmitter acetylcholine to create static which blocks out sight and sounds. After this mind control procedure a MILAB abductee would have no memory of what he or she saw or heard. The mind of the abductee would be blank [2, 19, 25].

VII. Discussion

1.) If all alien abductions are a cover for secret mind control or genetic experiments like the Lebensborn Project of the Nazis [38], why have abductees only reported military intelligence involvement since the early eighties and not before? We should see the opposite of this, since the mind control technology would be much better in the nineties than it was during the sixties and seventies!

2.) Why are there mind control victims who are implanted and used for secret weapons tests, but have nothing to do with the UFO phenomenon or alien abductions? It seems to me that the "mind control agenda" does not need UFO abductions as a cover story, since nobody believes the claims of ordinary mind control victims in the first place, although they have X-rays where everyone can see anomalous objects in their heads.

3.) If all alien abductions are a cover for mind control experiments, why does the military perform gynecological examinations of female abductees?

Serious researchers should investigate all possibilities. Some UFO abductees may indeed be mind control victims or they may have been used in black-ops genetic experiments from the eighties or earlier. However, I think there is another motive that is more plausible for the military's involvement in the UFO abduction phenomenon. My preliminary hypothesis for alleged military kidnappings of UFO abductees is as follows:

MILABs could be evidence that a secret military intelligence task force has been operating in North America since the early eighties, and is involved in the monitoring and kidnapping of alleged UFO abductees.

In the early 1980s, a lot of money became available for top secret military projects like the Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI). I believe this secret task force may be financed by a portion of this money that is set aside for SDI. It is no coincidence that the genesis of SDI and the reports of military intelligence personnel interfering with abductees coincide with one another. It seems to me that they are interested in well investigated abduction cases. They monitor the houses of their victims, kidnap and possibly implant them with military devices shortly after a UFO abduction experience. It appears to me that they are searching for possible alien implants as well. Their gynecological interest in female abductees could be explained if they are searching for alleged alien-hybrid embryos. One thing I'm sure of is, this task force and the people who are behind these kidnappings are using advanced mind control technology which is currently being tested illegally on individuals who have nothing to do with UFO abductions.
