Myself and two other members of this site were sitting in the chat room discussing the new Mars Rover pictures just released. Now mind you, I'm not a big space program booster, so I've not bothered to be current on what's what, but as everyone who knows me is aware, I can whip up an opinion on just about anything so I'm taking part in the discussion and having a grand old time. Then a URL was posted, and the rest is history, of a sort.
The picture at that web location was a horizon picture taken by the Spirit rover, showing the classic barren rocky plain familiar from virtually all planetary probe images. However, this particular image had us jabbering back and forth like a huddle of fishwives in short order. We were all seeing the same thing: a small dark speck in the image above the horizon, unquestionably there, but what was it?

CLINICAL DISCREPANCIES BETWEEN EXPECTED AND OBSERVED DATA IN PATIENTS REPORTING UFO ABDUCTIONS: IMPLICATIONS FOR TREATMENT

This is an excellent article (but not light reading) about Alien Abduction. I can never make my mind up about abductees, they're compelling, but where is the evidence something did happen, or are they just delusional?
Psychiatry interests me anyway, it's criticised for it's rigid approach to something infinitely complex, the confusion I think is that describes psychiatrists not psychiatry, which is, and always should be an interpretation of events, based on some psychiatric principles.
Theres too much of this Jung vs Freud nonsense, both had some excellent observations, but that doesn't mean one was completely right and the other wrong. Again, it shows the failure of psychiatrists rather than psychiatry.
Preamble aside, what follows is a detailed examination of Abductees and their accounts of what happened, what the author does, is point out that they do not show what would be expected if they were delusional, or had a mental illness.
