"The small so-called grays, according to what they told Betty, are simply mature human fetuses grown and tailored within artificial wombs. I would assume that the reptilian and insectoid humanoid entities reportedly seen by some abductees are just other examples of genetically engineered life forms culled from reptilian and insect life forms on Earth." Aliens told Betty. :>o
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Raymond Fowler and Betty Andreasson Luca continue to be one of the most hopeful story lines in the entire field of abduction research. Though it's been a couple of years since Fowler's last book, The Andreasson Legacy, was released, it remains fresh and relevant and worthy of attention. As they used to say in the radio business, this is an "oldie but a goodie."
With the publication of The Andreasson Legacy (Marlowe and Company, 1997), world renowned UFO abduction researcher Raymond Fowler concludes his investigation into the experiences of New England housewife Betty Andreasson Luca and her family. In the course of his study of the Andreasson/Luca family, Fowler also learned of his own abduction history and was forced to confront the phenomenon from within as an "experiencer" himself.
The Andreasson Legacy is the fifth book in Fowler's series, which began with The Andreasson Affair in 1979 and continued with The Andreasson Affair, Phase II (1982), The Watchers (1990) and The Watchers II (1995). His exhaustive investigation of the Andreasson/Lucas as well as of his own family continues to rank as one of the most detailed, thorough and revelatory studies of the abduction phenomenon ever conducted.
The story began in 1967 with the surprise visitation by several of the standard gray aliens to the South Ashburnham, Massachusetts, home of Betty Luca, who at the time was married to James Andreasson. After "switching off" the rest of the family, the grays took Betty on a magical mystery tour that included a vision of a Phoenix rising again from the ashes of its own destruction, which was intended to symbolize humankind's ability to survive the dangerous times ahead. The gray aliens also intimated that they shared Betty's belief in the sacredness of Jesus Christ and affirmed that he was "coming soon."
Numerous abduction events involving nearly every member of Betty's family, including her second husband, Bob Luca, slowly assembled themselves over the ensuing years of investigation. The fact that it has taken five books to document all that has happened is not surprising. Betty now believes she has had what she considers to be a relationship with these benevolent angels/aliens throughout her life, and she has relived under hypnosis more than once an intense state of ecstasy that she found impossible to put into words for the sake of Fowler and his investigating team. One can only wonder what is hiding behind that veil of secrecy that hypnosis cannot uncover.
We spoke to Raymond Fowler recently and asked him, among other things, to sum up the meaning to be gleaned from those twenty years of investigation. His answers to us, like his series of books, include moments of profound spirituality, fascinating accounts of numerous interrelated psychic phenomena, and, most importantly, hope.
Q. The Andreasson Legacy seems to have two major themes: the idea that alien abduction is a family affair and that UFO encounters and other paranormal experiences may all have one underlying cause. Please give an overview of both of these themes for the sake of people who haven't read the book.
Fowler: Other UFO researchers over the course of time began to see a pattern in some UFO abduction cases. UFO abductions were not restricted to just one member of the family. When other family members were available for an interview, it became apparent that one or more other family members also had experienced what are called UFO abduction benchmarks. There are a number of these, but some of the major ones are multiple UFO sightings, missing time, unexplained scars or punctures on the body, rays or balls of light in one's house, the feeling of a presence in the house, and the experiencing of psychic phenomena, such as poltergeist activity and out-of-body experiences.
Upon investigation and through the use of hypnosis, the researcher finds that, indeed, other members of the family do remember abduction experiences. Usually these experiences start in childhood and continue into adulthood. Although a parent, child and grandchild exhibit such evidences of UFO abductions, it is rare to have cases where grandparents can be investigated because of old age and death. Thus it would be valuable when so-called family affairs are found that such families should be monitored over many years by investigators in an attempt to uncover and to understand more about this fascinating yet unnerving phenomenon. I have made an attempt at doing this by controlling my research into the families of Betty and Bob Luca for almost two decades. Family members involved in UFO and/or related experiences included the Luca's parents, sisters, children and grandchildren. Perhaps another investigator can take up where I left off and continue to investigate the extended families of the Lucas.
Q. And what about all these various paranormal phenomena having one basic cause?
Fowler: If one takes the testimonies of a number of UFO abductees at face value, we find that the abductees experience a number of paranormal phenomena in the aftermath of their abduction experiences. These again include poltergeist phenomena, out-of-body experiences [OBEs], ghosts, apparitions, balls of light, psychic abilities, precognitive dreams, synchronisms, reception of telepathic messages, a feeling of being watched or monitored, etc. Is it coincidence or connection that these occur after a UFO experience?
Indeed, some, like OBEs and telepathy, occur during some UFO abductions. The UFOs themselves also have seemingly paranormal abilities. They are also able to appear and disappear within our space/time continuum visually and on radar. The alien occupants are able to do the same as well as pass through solid walls, doors and windows. They also are able to communicate by telepathy, exert mental and physical control over abductees and exert paranormal-like forces that can cause objects and persons to float and pass through solid objects.
There are also some remarkable similarities between some UFO abductions and Near Death Experiences [NDEs]. NDE researcher Kenneth Ring has a number of NDE cases that are identical to UFO abductions. Some of Betty and Bob's OBE abduction experiences are startlingly similar to NDEs. This fact and all of the above indicate that a connection exists between UFO and so-called paranormal phenomena. It seems to be that all of these may be intricate components of one underlying Metaphenomenon. My gut feeling is that this Metaphenomenon in turn co-exists with our so-called physical world.
UFO and Near Death Experiences appear to be at least two pertinent catalysts that cause human beings to interface with the paranormal effects and life forms that emanate from this alternate reality. On one hand, the UFO is the mode of travel used by aliens to travel back and forth between these two planes of existence. On the other hand, the NDE is the mode of travel back and forth between these two planes of existence by human beings. Physical death may be the ultimate one-way trip by human beings to this other reality. Indeed, human beings living in the physical plane may just be larval forms of the entities who exist in this other dimension. Our death may actually be our birth into another plane of existence that holds the ultimate responsibility for the UFOs and paranormal phenomena that we experience in this plane of existence.
Q. Very interesting. You make the case that both the Fowler and Andreasson families have experienced a constant stream of paranormal events that link the two families together. Can you give some examples of those kinds of experiences?
Fowler: Well, in the book I record a great number of UFO and paranormal events experienced by various members of the Luca and Fowler families. These include many of the examples that I mentioned before. I do this not only to demonstrate that UFO abductions themselves are often family affairs, but that the paranormal events mentioned earlier are also experienced both within and in the aftermath of UFO abductions reported by abductees.
Q. Some of the experiences of Becky, Bob, "Jean" [a pseudonym for one of Fowler's research subjects who is not a member of either family], and your own father are also covered in the book. Can you give us a brief overview of what some of those experiences were and why they are significant?
Fowler: Briefly, all three have experienced a variety of psychic experiences such as OBEs, precognition, ghosts/apparitions and UFO abductions. In fact, both Bob and "Jean" claim to have been used as breeders for alien hybrid offspring.
Q. You say you are still unsure about why a conservative fundamentalist Christian like Betty interprets her experiences with the aliens in such a positive, non-judgmental light. You also say your own experiences run contrary to your beliefs as a Christian. Would you care to comment further?
Fowler: I continue to find it difficult to ascertain how Betty so easily fits her fundamentalist Christian beliefs into her various UFO and paranormal experiences. On the one hand, her basic theology concerning Salvation and the Bible being God's revealed Word are certainly held as absolute truths by the fundamentalist wing of the Christian Church. One the other hand, the majority of Christian fundamentalists believe that UFOs are piloted by Satan's angels and that the paranormal phenomena experienced by Betty and her family are manifestations of demonic attacks and possession.
Betty is also completely outside of fundamentalist or other expressions of Christianity in other ways. She goes out of her way to proclaim her Christian faith but does not follow the Bible's clear teaching to be an active member of the body of Christ. She does not belong to or attend a church or church activities except on the rare occasion, as far as I know.
But Christianity is always expressed in a body of believers. Also, the majority of Christendom certainly does not believe that UFO occupants are angelic in either a good or bad sense. Betty seems to be a complete outsider when it comes to any expression of the Christian Church. The Bible does not promote Lone Ranger Christianity. I say this not in a critical sense because each one of us has a right to believe as we so desire. Thus it is in the face of these things that I remain unsure about why a conservative, fundamentalist Christian like Betty interprets her experiences with the aliens in such a positive way.
Add to this the fact that the angels/aliens in many ways do not behave like the angels recorded in the Bible. Betty also is among only a relatively few abductees who say that the alien entities have told them that they are God's angels. The majority of abductees are not told this and are certainly not treated as one would think God's angels would treat His created beings.
