From: ******@****.com Date: Mon, 17 Jan 2005 15:50:04 EST Subject: To Sherry- abductions To: sherry_shriner@yahoo.com Hi Sherry, I've been looking at your website for a while, and feel compelled to contact you. I've been presented with circumstances that have challenged  preconceived notions of mine that I've held for many years. I've gradually accepted the idea of aliens in our world, but coming to terms with abductions is a little more difficult. My heart has finally come to terms with it, I think. I'd read about reptoids abducting human beings for food, and though I was skeptical at first, I've heard a few first and second hand accounts (a couple of which I'm going to relate to you.)  I think I believe it now. I'd like to get your opinion on these incidents, however, if you don't mind. I'd like to know if I'm misinterpreting these events. It's rather important to me. I don't know that much about aliens...I believe these incidents involved reptoid aliens, but I could be wrong. You seem to be exceedingly knowledgable, and your sincere faith seems to give you a validation in my eyes that others just don't have. I met a client through my work who told me about an incident that happened in his community 40 plus years ago. One of this man's neighbors, a fellow named Alex Johnstone, was abducted from his home in rural Nevada one morning within sight of his wife and children.  According to my client, Mrs. Johnstone said the beings who took him were tall and human-like. She said they had a "hungry look" in their eyes, and seemed to her, for whatever reason, to act very "predator like." They apparently didn't see her or her kids. My client (a very elderly fellow now) claimed that the Johnstones were solid, reliable people and not predisposed  to such fanciful story telling. Apparently the rest of the family moved away a short time after this incident and were never heard from again. The most amazing thing is that there was basically NO media coverage of the incident...I suppose you might be able to attribute that to the fact very few people would believe a story like that. My source then said he became preoccupied with alien sightings and abductions over the next several decades and even did a small amount of investigating in his spare time. He believes this particular abduction was random, as were most of the other ones he looked into. I guess it makes sense that abductions of this sort would be random, as most predators usually strike indiscriminatly, guided pretty much by hunger and opportunity or situation. That's just my perception, though. I was also told of a very different, very bizarre type of abduction,  which apparently had a similar motive. This abduction was different in that it was definitely NOT random, and it was a multiple abduction - several people taken at one time. My source for this incident, a co-worker and friend that I've known for several years, is a pretty solid guy. He was present at the incident, which happened in 1989, but actually wasn't aware it was an abduction until several weeks LATER! He ALSO became a believer in alien abduction, and is convinced he knows the reason behind this particular incident. I've come to agree with him over the last few years. But just to be straight with you, my friend also says a few other people who were present at the incident still aren't convinced there ever WAS an abduction.  He knew something was very wrong at the time, however, but didn't really piece things together until after the fact. He gave me a detailed account of HIS version of the story. I've tried to present it as completely as I can remember it. I no longer work with this guy and we don't correspond much, as he moved across country, and to be honest with you, he seems a little unwilling to talk about it much anymore. In fact, he no longer seems to tell people about this experience, as far as I can tell. Maybe that's just my perception. My friend was in the Air Force for many years, and in the late 1980's was stationed at an Air Force base in Pensacola, Florida. Among other things, he was an amateur body builder and was informed of an upcoming amateur body building competition that would be taking place not far from the base.  At first the event seemed on the up and up...but my friend, as well as a few others, started to sense something wasn't quite right a few weeks before the competition. The event organizers and judges seemed to know very little (and care even less) about the sport of body building. First of all, there were no weight classes...it was a completely "open" event, which apparently is very unusual  in this sport. More unusual still was the fact that prospective entrants were informed when they registered (a few weeks earlier) that judging for the event would favor bigger contestants, that size and weight would be a priority in determining winners. I'm told that body building has as much to do with proper symmetry and presesentation and definition as it does with the size of bulging muscles, and most sanctioned competitions recognize this. So this approach seemed very unorthodox. Also, women initially weren't going to be allowed to compete...which wasn't all that strange, but when asked why they hadn't included a female category, the event organizers explained that it was because women were just "too small." Only when they were informed by local enthusiasts that there would surely be at least a few females in the 160 to 170 pound range who'd like to enter did the organizers change their policy. Problem was, it was still a completely open competition... in  other words, there would NOT be a different class for men and women! THEY WOULD COMPETE AGAINST EACH OTHER! This is VERY unusual. It put off a lot of the male competitors, and many of them didn't bother to enter. It actually made the event more appealing to some of the female entrants, though, and there was a rather good turnout of bigger women. Now, none of this seem all that suspicious on the surface. My friend, however, contends that although it didn't occur to anyone at the time, the contest was an evil sham, a devious plot put together by sinister beings to bring these athletes together in one place. WHY? To harvest them as FOOD, he says.  I've come to agree with him. According to other sources I've talked with, there is apparently some sort of "high holy" celebration (satanic) among reptoid aliens (I think) that includes elaborate feasts. I've been told that the aliens are very selective about the people they abduct for these rituals, wanting only the best quality flesh. Body builders, being larger and leaner than most other people, would certainly yield greater quantities of high grade "meat". A most disturbing notion, to be sure, but the following events convinced me of this as well. On the day of the competition, the judges made their appearance. They were all very tall men who wore dark glasses (even indoors), though they all dressed differently. They were all expressionless and talked quietly amongst themselves. My friend did overhear the judges conversing backstage, though. One of them was reminding the other judges to only pay attention to the larger contestants. He also said the winners should be individuals who were big in the haunches, as well as the legs and shoulders. (It's interesting to note that these are the most heavily muscled regions of the human anatomy, from which the largest portions of meat could be harvested.)  He didn't mention symmetry of form or presentation.  No mention of any athleticism or any other criteria. Just size. In retrospect, it seems that the judges were evaluating these people as livestock, not athletes. The event was little more than a "cattle" auction, and the judges nothing more than meat inspectors.  Nevertheless, the competitors all flexed, stretched, posed and paraded for the judges over the next hour or so, oblivious to the aliens' sinister intent. Just as the judge had indicated backstage, it was the brawniest men and women with the biggest thighs and buttocks who were selected as the "winners." Eight trophys were awarded altogether, (quite alot for a field of only 25 contestants or so.) Of the eight winners, five were male, three were female...most were caucasian except for two black men and a tall hispanic woman. All were hustled backstage immediately after the event to receive some small token prizes. ( My friend, a rather smallish guy, was not among the winners, thankfully.) Now, I know it's a big jump from this odd behavior to abduction, but the strangest circumstances were yet to come. The plan was that a large helicopter was going to fly all eight winners to a nearby palasade (or something) by the ocean for a brief outdoor photo shoot that would appear in a national magazine. Within a couple hours after the contest had ended, and the winners had left, however, word had gotten back that the chopper had gone down in the ocean, and that all on board were MISSING! The tragedy was taken hard by the few people still remaining at community center (where the competition had been held),  but my friend had already left and didn't hear about it till a couple days later when he spoke with another contestant. This was because it NEVER EVEN MADE THE NEWS! How can this be? It seems that the families of the missing contestants would find it strange that the tragedy wouldn't be on television and wouldn't create a media furor. The only explanation he could come up with is that since most of the contestants were in the Air Force, maybe they had no family in the area.  Still, it seems strange to me, but that's how it was presented to me by my friend.  It still hadn't been revealed to him, however, that the event had just been a big setup. That moment came a few weeks later when a friend of his ( a fellow competitor who also didn't win) had called and asked him to come over.  He wanted my friend to hear what this guy's 7 year old daughter had to say. Once there, the little girl had told my friend what she had seen the day of the competition. She had accompanied her parents to the event and when it was over, they went outside when they heard the helicopter take off. They watched it has it flew away, and when it was gone from view, they decided it was time to leave. The girl told her parents she needed to use the restroom, however, and ran back inside the building.  Not knowing where the ladies room was, she wandered around the maze of halls in the back of the building, which were mostly unoccupied, until she came to a men's room. She pondered  using the men's room, but hesitated. Just then she saw one of the tall men in sunglasses come out of a room down at the other end of the hall. He didn't see her and walked away in the other direction. She walked quickly down to the room he had come out of, hoping to find someone else who would know where the ladies room was. She carefully openned the door, which lead to another hall about 15 feet long. She quietly walked down that hall and covertly looked into the room that it led to. In the room was a bizarre scene that was probably more perplexing to her young mind than it was horrifying. All eight of the winning competitors were in the room, and all were "sleeping" side by side on individual tables, each one about 7 feet long by about 3 feet wide. They had all been stripped naked and were being inspected by a couple of the other tall men, who prodded the captives' beefy limbs.  The girl knew the people were still alive because a few of them groaned a little as they were poked and pinched by the tall men. She stayed and watched for a couple minutes. These two men also never saw her as she left the room. She ran back down to the men's room at the other end of the hall and used the toilet. As she was leaving, she saw the third tall man re-enter the room that she had peeked into and heard him lock the door behind him. He apparently had been careless and had forgotten to do so when he left. She went back out to her parent's car, completely unaware of the extreme danger she had been in. Nevertheless, she was still a little scared...she thought she'd be in big trouble if her parents found out that she'd used the men's room! So she never mentioned the incident to her parents. My friend went back to the building and looked around....found nothing. No tables or anything else. They didn't know if they should believe the word of a 7 year old, or if anyone else would.  For some reason, my friend and his buddy came to believe her over time. Just as I have, even though I wasn't there. There are a hundred other details that I could bring up, but I won't since I wasn't there and can't speak with authority. I can say that the bodies of the missing people were never found, nor was the helicopter.  But what do you think, Sherry, Have you ever heard of abductions like this? I believe it, but I have to admit...it does sound like a fairly elaborate scheme. Am I right in presuming that they would be reptoids? Or wrong? There's so much information out there, I'm no exactly sure what to believe. What's hard to understand is that this event was co-sponsored by some of the officials at the air force base, and I'm not sure I want to believe in collusion between the military and the aliens. I guess it's possible that these people were taken for some other purpose. Scientific study? Some have suggested that maybe they were intended for human sacrifice. Others have suggested they may have FIRST been sacrificed, THEN eaten, much like the ancient Aztecs of Mexico did to their victims. I have read that there is a reptoid connection with the ancient Aztecs. My gut feeling tends more towards the theory that I stated above. Anyway I truly appreciate you reading my email. Feel free to contact me at any time. Sincerely, *******
