The retiree moves to the side of his house for a better look. He has resided in this house for many years and is aware
that the sky is not visible from where he has now chosen to stand. Why choose this location to try to spy a better
look?
At the same moment across the street, his neighbor comes out to smoke a cigarette and observes the strange shape
drawing near. Despite being within yards of the retiree, he never notices him. Seemingly seconds later, he has
completely smoked the entire cigarette, a practice that normally takes him ten to fifteen minutes. At this point, the craft
is no longer visible and he walks back into the house, thinking nothing more about it until the next morning. Why did
the neighbor come out at the exact time the craft was appearing overhead? With an unobstructed view, why not notice
the retiree standing literally yards from him?
The last thing the retiree remembers before walking back into the house is watching the dark shape move off in the
direction of the rear of the house. If interested in a better look, why does he not move to the rear of the house to
watch the shape depart?
What happened in the amount of time that the neighbor saw the craft and finished his cigarette? What could he have
seen had he not blacked out? Why did he assume nothing had happened out of the ordinary and continue with his
normal nighttime activities?

A retired engineer takes a midnight walk to check his mailbox. Like most retirees, he is a
regimented individual who typically checks his mail early in the afternoon, shortly after it is
delivered. This allows him to respond to anything that might irk him, such as an
erroneous bill or a jury summons. During his nighttime sojourn to the end of his
driveway and back, he has the irresistible urge to look at the sky. Not just any part of the
sky, but the very portion of sky which in seconds reveals a strange light. He watches as
this strange light approaches his location and transforms into a large dark triangle shape
with lights on each tip, seeming to lower in altitude as it approaches to just a hundred
feet over his head.

There seems to be a recurring theme in many unidentified aerial
phenomenon, or UFO sightings. Unaware of why, a man is
suddenly compelled to go to a seemingly random location. This
might be in the form of an urge to go outside into the open, or to
drive themselves into a desolate area, only to find themselves
witness to an unbelievable, often earth-shattering event.
A man gets lost driving to work one night. A job he has held for
many years, he is quizzical about his situation. Having passed the
exit off the interstate that leads to his place of employment, he
drives to the next exit. Instead of coming around and getting
back on the interstate, he chooses a country road for the trip
back. He stops at a deserted intersection intending to turn left,
but in mid turn, he stops and looks straight ahead, just in time to
see an anomalous light zoom over his car from behind and
disappear in the distance, the whole sighting lasting mere seconds.
Had he been looking into his turn, or gotten back on the
interstate, or even got off on the correct exit, he would never have
witnessed this.
This external influence might be similar to, but not quite like mind control since there seems to be no loss of
consciousness or blacking out. This could be through manipulation of seemingly natural urges or temporarily affecting
memory. Upon further reflection, the event is seen as unexplainable. This phenomenon might best be labeled Psychic
Persuasion.
Are some of us being contacted telepathically by extraterrestrials? Are those psychic contactees being instructed to make
themselves available, possibly for the task of witnessing a sighting or being abducted? Or are some of us so sensitive
that we know when an extraterrestrial is nearby?
A psychic quality to UFO sightings has been considered by the Ufological community to some degree, but like so many
theories mainly to the extent of throwing spaghetti against the wall to see what would stick. The existence of trace
evidence makes any but the concept of psychic persuasion obsolete. Whether we are referring to hallucinations or
extreme forms of mind control, neither result in trace evidence, such as irradiated materials, photographic evidence, or
truly mass sightings such as the Phoenix Lights, massive grouping of lights observed in the area of Phoenix, Arizona on
March 13, 1997. The Phoenix Lights remain unidentified to this date, despite the best efforts of U.S. Air Force
disinformation specialists and pseudo-skeptics such as those associated with the increasingly irrelevant Center for
Skeptical Inquiry (CSI).
I did not intend to sit here and opine about the psycho-physiological machinations required to accomplish psychic
persuasion. Please understand that I am not a psychologist, and would never pretend to be. (Unlike some scientists who
try to be Ufologists, but can only attain the rating of close-minded and ignorant skeptic.) But it does not require a traffic
engineer to recognize a stop sign.
