Surprisingly
researchers have not given importance to the possible involvement of witnesses
in UFO events. But when we search for knowledge, culture and beliefs of them
discovered some clues that can help us clarify many issues presented in UFO
close encounters. Most elements and the "aesthetic" of the
experience, physiognomy of the crew, "flying saucer" appearance,
actions of the occupants, etc., we find, as utlined in the psyche of witnesses:
a military sees armed humanoids as soldiers, a lover of Egyptology seen a UFO
as a pyramid, an engineer received technical explanations of the operation of
the flying saucer, etc.
What happens is that these unconscious
ingredients are displayed before the eyes of the observer in a distorted form
(which gives its name to the theory) that they are not getting recognized as
their own. The mechanism operated for the creation and development of close
encounters is similar to the process that we experience when we dream (we call
Creation Oneiric). Although many find patterns that might suggest that we are
facing a phenomenon of psychological origin, also discovered other factors that
indicate conclusively the existence of a much more complex and unknown to
humans phenomenon. One point that would indicate the existence of an
"extern agent" is that many
singularities are shared by witnesses despite not having any link or
communication between them . Interestingly many times the UFO occupants are
described with "objects" (sticks, guns, balls, etc.) in their hands
throwing light rays unsuspecting observers, or, failing that, it is the very
"spaceship "which emits these beams which usually immobilize or
inconvenience witnesses not approaching the scene being observed.
In addition
to this omnipresent characteristic in almost all close encounters, there are
other factors that seem to indicate the presence of shared common elements
inexplicably. Most of the stories of close encounters show easily assimilated
very simple arguments for any observer (called Recognizable basic archetypes)
in countless incidents alleged aliens engaged in taking soil samples, or repair
your flying saucer, or establish a insubstantial communication (ask for water,
ask "where we are", etc.).
These findings and the keys specified above
form the core of the Distortion Theory, we could summarize in the existence of
an unknown "extern agent" that interacting with the mind of the
witness for the construction of the UFO experiences in a "Creation Shared
Mental ". The human psyche, in line with this unknown operator brings
unconscious form, details and inherent and private elements that make their
experiences, unique and transferable experiences. Therefore, close encounters
are just the result and outcome of development or staging of a same repetitive
patterns (damage, exploration, light beams, etc.) "adapted" and
"molded" with the knowledge of witnesses .The clearer example
to understand for the Distortion Theory is that of a teacher (in the
role of "extern age") request to his students (who would be our
potential witnesses) prepare a narrative or story containing the following
elements: a forest, goblins and a treasure. Although all start from the same
creative base, the development would be different from one student to another
depending on the imagination and the same culture (TV, film literature, comics,
etc.). Some narrate a fable with an army of valiant and stout elves and others
on the contrary would write only about a lonely, shy and tiny pixie.
And in this
way our UFO close encounters operating, offering infinite variations of a model
that changes over the years. Therefore it is not the phenomenon itself, which
adapts to the society it manifests itself, if not that is the intellectual
wealth of the witnesses making progress observed structures of paradigm,
itself.Despite all this, we are not suggesting that encounters with UFOs and
their crews are limited to the imaginary universe. Quite the opposite.
Distortion theory states that the "extern agent" is able to
"produce" sometimes "Ephemeral matter" to give some
sightings and corporeality for reinforce the belief that it is an
"real" phenomena and "physical" outside the witness. Although the evidence left by our visitors
are so elusive subtlety (burns, holes, stains, footsteps, etc.) that makes
appearances remain very difficult to believe for most people. But we can go
further. If we dissect the type of trails and tracks that often leave visitors
from space, they coincide perfectly with the kind of evidence that anyone could
assume in advance that could leave a spacecraft, from ordinary injury from
leaks, to stains oil or radioactivity therefore these traces do not stop being
human concepts distortions. It is also important to note that close encounters
can be observed by more than one person as the "outsider" recreates
the scene basically in two ways; 1. Using a "holographic projection"
(devoid of matter). This would explain countless episodes where UFO landings
leave no trace after passing, although the terrain should be like or when, for
example, these objects or their crews go through obstacles without difficulty,
like ghostly apparitions. 2. By a gifted scene matter where humanoids, ship and
observed objects are apparently physical and tangible (material Efímera).
But beyond
the temporal existence, bounded in time and space phenomenon recreated for the
occasion, nothing perceived, felt, or touched during the demonstration has a
real, physical and continuous stay in our three-dimensional universe.
Distortion theory explains one of the hallmarks par excellence of the UFO
phenomenon and to date considered an unfathomable enigma; Absurdity Factor
present in almost all of the UFO events (absurd behavior of visitors, mundane
elements embedded inside flying saucers, components and delusional traits both
in terms of UFOs and the physiognomy of the crew, etc. .). Distortion Theory
suggests that these incoherent elements integrated into the experience, are
totally special or transcendental significance as some researchers argue,
beyond the creative / artistic value provided by the witness himself during
shared mental creation sponsored and controlled by the agent external.
Therefore these incoherent elements integrated within the next few experiences
with UFOs and their occupants, and that some ufologists is a "seal"
of authenticity to these events, are exclusively the result of a similar dream
where images process and the feelings are intertwined and so iconographic
submitted independently to be logical or consistent, as their role is limited to
expressing a dream language by the human unconscious.
We also have
to consider, following the premises of the theory of distortion, leave the
Close Encounters of a mental origin, where the psyche of the witness is the
subject of a similar altered states of consciousness process, and therefore the
perception time can undergo significant alterations, as described and studied
in numerous sightings. This fresh look of the UFO phenomenon sheds light on one
of the most puzzling aspects that have intrigued researchers of half the world;
why the apparitions of the “flyers saucers” and the occupants had been
anticipated, so astonishing, by various works of science fiction (literature,
film, comics, TV, etc.). Obviously all this material was already part of the
unconscious contents of the witnesses before they could his encounter.
