Today, there is a lot of evidence of encounters with aliens. Many of those who encountered UFOs noted in their stories the strange effect it had on their well-being or mood. The impact of UFOs on the psyche of people deserves special consideration. It manifests itself in a variety of forms
Immediately it is necessary to make a reservation that people have different sensitivities, as a result of which they perceive UFOs differently. There are a number of cases when some people, long before the appearance of UFOs, experienced some unreasonably excited state and a premonition of something unusual. Sometimes the very fact of the appearance of a UFO has a significant impact on the psyche of people. At this moment, some unexpectedly wake up, feeling a feeling of some kind of anxiety, and go to the windows, where they see a UFO that has appeared.
Especially strong influence on the psyche of people is exerted by their stay in the immediate vicinity of UFOs. In some cases, it causes a feeling of fear or even horror among eyewitnesses. In Allier (France), a man walked towards a large luminous dome that landed off the side of the road, but halfway through the journey, he was seized by an unreasonable, violent terror. He felt his muscles tighten, his hair rose, goosebumps ran down his spine, and an increased heartbeat began. Soon, fear gave way to panic, and the eyewitness fled.
In August 1979, the Polish fishing boat Hel-127 was at sea near the Hel Peninsula. Suddenly, an unknown fiery red pulsing object the size of a soccer ball appeared above the sea surface. The skipper of the Schaomborg boat felt a strange numbness, chest pain and began to lose his sight. At the same time, he began to experience such fear, which he did not know even in the strongest storm. Helmsman Elvart also became numb and even threw the steering wheel, and two other members of the team, Figursky and Bona, stepping onto the bridge, felt a severe pain in their temples. A strange ball accompanied the boat for 20 minutes, then lagged behind, but for a long time Shomborg did not let go of the feeling of some incomprehensible fear.
Perhaps this feeling of fear is caused by the radiation emanating from the UFO. Experiments carried out in different countries have shown that, getting into an electromagnetic field of a certain, very high frequency, a person begins to experience a feeling of fear and depression. There are also known cases when a UFO or rays emanating from it brought eyewitnesses into a state of strong excitement. Sometimes close encounters with UFOs ended up with more serious consequences for eyewitnesses, associated with a strong nervous shock, causing a general disturbance of the mental state.
In February 1975, a resident of the French city of Reunion Severein, after a short stay in the vicinity of a strange object similar to a hat hovering at a low altitude, temporarily lost his speech, and then his eyesight. And only a week later, when his condition improved somewhat and his speech recovered, Saverein was able to tell the gendarmes what had happened to him. However, when trying, together with the gendarmes, again to visit the meeting place with the UFO, Severen again lost consciousness each time. The doctor examining him made the following conclusion: a state of extreme fatigue with prostration as a result of severe emotional shock.
Sometimes UFOs, apparently, affect the subconsciousness of eyewitnesses, and this impact continues for some time and after meeting with the UFO. This is expressed in the fact that in some cases people who were in the immediate vicinity of these objects remember everything that happened to them before and after the meeting with the UFO, but what happened during the meeting itself completely falls out of their memory. Sometimes this gap can be restored using the so-called regressive hypnosis. In foreign sources, a number of examples are given when people subjected to regressive hypnosis recalled everything that happened to them during a meeting with a UFO. However, experts in hypnosis point out that there is no complete certainty that the picture restored by the hypnotized corresponds to the truth, and is not induced by their subconsciousness.
Along with this, there are also known cases when with the help of hypnosis it was not possible to force eyewitnesses to remember what happened to them during the time while their consciousness was turned off. And in some cases, eyewitnesses themselves, without any hypnosis, gradually recalled all the circumstances of their encounter with a UFO.
The impact of UFOs on the psyche of some people who found themselves near UFOs was expressed in the fact that after that they saw repeated and very real nightmares for several days, from which they woke up in a very agitated state. This was the case with the housewife V. of Wellington (England) and with the son of the owner of the farm in Delphos, who had nightmares for several nights after encountering UFOs. There were also recorded individual cases when people who found themselves near the landed objects, then slept for weeks and months for 16 hours a day.
In very rare cases, after close encounters with UFOs, the mental abilities of eyewitnesses increased dramatically or they acquired the ability to hypersensitive perception. This was the case, in particular, with the semi-literate night watchman, the old Brazilian Maceiras, who, after being irradiated by a UFO in December 1972, began to freely discuss philosophical, theological and astronomical topics, and solve complex mathematical problems. He enumerated the constellations of the Milky Way, predicted geological catastrophes and began to carve a sculpture of the UFO he saw out of stone.
The impact of UFOs on the human subconscious has not yet been studied at all, and, perhaps, it is in this direction that specialists should work. It is still unclear what is the mechanism of some of the manifestations of the physical and mental impact of UFOs on people. It is only obvious that neither magnetic fields nor high-frequency radiation known to us are capable of affecting the human body in this way. Apparently, all this happens through some very subtle and as yet unknown to our science fields, possibly those with which parapsychology deals.
