The following are several abbreviated excerpts taken from 'THE OMEGA PROJECT', by Kenneth Ring, PH.D. (William Morrow & Co., N.Y. 1972). The following points were brought out in the book: -- Most abductions (possibly between 60%-80%? - Branton) are conducted by the 'greys' of traditional description. -- Many state that their experiences are often 'dreamlike' yet with evidence suggesting real events. -- The "greys" (and in some cases black creatures in 'capes' that act as 'guards' during the painful and terrifying 'medical oper- ations') have a way of 'blurring' their faces in the minds of the abductees, so that the abductee cannot later recall what the alien 'faces' looked like. -- Many abductees experience sleeping problems (not to mention severe social-relational-sexual problems) after being abducted by the saurian grays, and these problems often last for years afterwards. -- Some abductees who resist are 'shocked' repeatedly with an 'electric gadget' which may induce paralysis and/or unconscious- ness. -- A majority of the 'greys' seem to be of the grey-white variety [several of these possess scaly skin with a slight greenish 'tinge'], some with opaque 'black' eyes and some with snake-like or lizard- like vertically slit pupils. -- Some of the greys are described as 'sinister', and one abduct- ee stated that when she was taken 'one alien was by my head and attempted to frighten me with his large eyes,' as three other creatures mechanically performed painful operations, unheeding of her terrified cries to make them stop. She (Clair Chambers) stated that "In my many encounters where I have always been kidnapped from my home, the aliens have shown NO compassion. I have several times felt them exhibit FEAR when I have hit them as they do feel FEAR... their reaction behavior patterns do NOT indicate an intelligence as high as I would expect from their technology... these experiences have been dreadful, terrifying, and I would like them to stop!" (Note: Four separate doctors have confirmed wounds and injuries in Clair Chambers which she insists resulted from the abductions. Also, the perceived high technology as opposed to the lack of individual intellectual initiative may be explained by their "collective-consciousness" nature, or as some scientific 'insiders' have referred to it, these dual-brained creatures have a "simple and complex" mental makeup. It would seem that their technological abilities are a direct result of their ability to operate within a bee- hive or insect-like collective mind, and that the 'individual' members of this collective basically possess only the information necessary to carry out their particular assignments - Branton) -- Some 'greyish' aliens, with 3-digit fingers, have been described as being 7 ft. tall (Reptilioids or Reptons? - Branton). One woman who was abducted by them felt as if the creatures wanted her to have the IMPRESSION that they were 'friendly', but after being returned to her car from which she was abducted "I then broke to pieces as my whole body shook uncontrollably. I cried 'OH GOD, WHY ME?' I couldn't calm myself as I cried like a baby..." -- A woman with an M.S.W. [degree?] (who was at the time of this revelation 51 years old), stated: "The first experience was when I was a child of about 5. For years I had a RECURRING 'dream' of standing beside a field WHEN A HOLE OPENS UP IN THE GROUND in front of me. The dream ends with me looking into the hole. I was just standing there looking at the hole. Under hypnosis I [recall that I] stepped into the hole and walked down a short tunnel. The tunnel widened into a small waiting area where there was a bench just at the right height for a 5 year old. I sat down and waited. A tall black 'feature- less' being came through a doorway, walked to me and held out his hand. I took his hand and went back through the doorway with him. He placed me on a table that appeared to be about 3 to 4 feet high. He laid me on my back and took one big hand and held my upper body flat on the table. The other beings were behind him looking at instruments on the wall. I was held this way for several minutes. When the being turned to look at the other two, it was as if he lost CONTROL over me and I jerked out from under his hand, fell off the end of the table and ran for the door. When I got to the door, I knew I wasn't 'supposed' to go any further. I stopped and turned around. The being who had been holding me came to me, took hold of my left arm and looked into my eyes. I was looking at where the eyes should be on a HUMAN, BUT I don't REMEMBER actually SEEING eyes. I feel something was communicated, but I don't know what." (Note: This experience would have taken place around 1940, give or take a few years. Remember that this was years before the 'UFO' phenomena exploded into the public con- sciousness in 1947 with the Maurey Island episode, the Kenneth Arnold sighting and the Roswell incident. Also note the 'subterra- nean' connection. It appears as if abductions and implantations have been carried out since the early 1900's at least - Branton) --The author states that some of the large opaque-black 'eyes' seen by many abductees, after being taken by the 'greys', seemed to have been 'coverings' for real 'eyes' which they felt might have been hidden inside or 'behind' what may have been artificial opaque- black visual coverings. This was, at least, the 'impression' that some abductees have had.
