Secret life: firsthand accounts of UFO abductions (20 page)

Does she say anything about the state of the babies?

Yes. They need mothers. They need something. They need their mothers, they need their mothers. They have to have their mothers. I say you should have thought about that before you started them, because I’m not going to get involved. She says, “Don’t you care about them. Don’t you care?” And I say, “Don’t
you
care. Don’t
you
care?” And now it seems like there’s almost something approaching anger in her, it’s something approaching anger. And it’s like a darkness in her or something, it’s like a… something I feel from her. And she says either “They’re yours,” or “It’s yours,” or, “Some of them are yours,” but there’s some of those babies in that room that are mine. Probably just one, because they’re all the same age. And I say, “So what. I don’t care. I don’t care.” And now it’s like she shrugs and says, “It doesn’t matter if you care or not, it doesn’t matter. They need their mothers, they have to have their mothers.”

While on vacation in Ireland in 1988, Barbara Archer was abducted and taken into a nursery where she also observed babies in holders.

They lead me to the end of the third row, and then down the side, back out to the doorway. And then we’re in that hallway
that’s darker again. And then we go out onto the main corridor. And then we turn right again. I think we continue down that hallway. We walked by a few rooms, subrooms on the side. And after we passed three or four of them, we come to one that they lead me into. And it’s still pretty big, but it’s not as big as the other room. And instead of tables… [I see] something like a bassinet, but that’s not what it is. It’s small, and it’s not deep, but you can fit something into it….

How many of these tables are there?

I think there were probably about twenty. And there’s like a nurse in there taking care of all these babies that are there. I feel a little scared when I see these babies at first.

Are these older babies, or younger, or…?

I think that there are a lot of baby babies, but then they get older. There are some that look like they are several months old.

From your vantage point, when you look at this, can you see them all, or are some too far away for you to see?

There are two rows of ten, and I’m sort of standing in the middle of the rows.

I see. Do the babies have diapers on or something?

They have sort of like a diaper thing, but it’s not like Pampers or something. Some of the older babies have like a little dress thing, but not a dress, it’s just kind of a, it’s not real fancy or anything, it’s just kind of, maybe like a nightgown is the best description I can come up with.

Like a smock?

Yes.

Does it have arms?

I don’t think it does. They’re not long-sleeved if it does. I can’t really tell from where I am where the older babies are.

Do you get a sense of whether they’re boy babies or girl babies?

I guess there’s probably both.

But it’s not readily apparent, I guess?

You kind of, it sounds strange, but I think that I kind of know the difference.

So you sort of stand there between the two rows of babies. Do the babies look a little bit different, or… ?

They scared me when I first looked at them because they looked odd. They look kind of old. They don’t have much hair. They have some hair, but not much. They kind of scare me a little bit when I first look at their faces.

What’s their skin like? Is it normal-looking skin, or… ?

It’s a little bit more, it’s like grayish, or it’s like lighter than ours. It’s not, but it’s not the same as theirs either.

Are these babies squirming around, moving?

Some of them are, a lot. Some of them are just more quiet, I guess. They strike me as being very fragile. I feel like maybe they’re what I would think of as premature babies, or babies with, they’re fragile, they’re not, I feel like they’re not real strong.

You’re saying they don’t look healthy and robust?

Well, they don’t look healthy to me. They’re kind of scrawny or something. But some of the older babies are longer.

Are they also thin?

They’re a little bit more, but none of them are by any means chubby. They seem to have longer arms, but not a lot of fat or muscle or anything. They’re kind of pretty in a strange way.

Is this just an empty room with the little tables, or…?

I think that there’s machines. There’s some machines in the back. And there’s something like a cabinet or something. It’s the best way I can describe it. It looks like it probably contains things. Up like along one wall. There’s not a lot of stuff, other than the babies.

Does anyone say anything to you?

Well, they asked me something like, “Do you like the babies?” or “These are the babies,” or something like that about the babies. And I said that I felt that they scared me a little bit, that they didn’t look right or something.

(Barbara Archer, 21, 1988)

Usually the aliens’ communication about the nursery is vague and emotionless, but often they will try to convey the idea that the abductees are viewing a wondrous and triumphant thing. The aliens are often proud and excited. It seems that they want to share their excitement with the abductee. One of the reasons for this might be to make the abductee feel that she has been a part of the grand scheme and should feel proud of herself. She may be told that some of the babies “are hers” and therefore she is made to believe that she has been helpful in their plan. But this might also be to make her more psychologically bonded to the babies so that her state of mind will be optimally in tune with the babies for closer contact.

Child presentations involve more than viewing. Abductees are also required to touch, hold, or hug these offspring. Although abductees will see more babies than any other age group of Being, they are also often presented with young children and even adolescents. Apparently it is absolutely essential for the child to have human contact.
Although the aliens prefer that the humans give nurturing, loving contact, any physical contact seems to suffice.

Typically, the aliens bring the abductee into the child-presentation room. It might be the nursery or a different room with bright lights. Beings are already in it. The abductee stands or sits down on a bench or chair. The Beings who brought her in are behind her. Then a “female” Being approaches her. She is holding a baby. The woman senses the communication: “Isn’t this a nice baby? Isn’t this a beautiful baby? Wouldn’t you like to hold the baby? Hold the baby!” The female Being extends her arms with the baby in it toward the woman, and the abductee takes it. She holds the baby to her chest with the baby’s head resting on her arm or shoulder. If the abductee resists, she may be given a “reason” to force her to hold the baby. One woman was told that the baby would get sick if she did not hold it, and that it would develop a rash or some other sickness if she held the baby away from her body. Therefore she had to hold the baby against her skin for as long as possible. The baby may be naked, or it may be wrapped in a “blanket.” It is usually very small, but it can be an older and larger baby as well. Women describe the small baby as being very light in weight but with a heavy head. The woman sits with the baby, or she may get up and walk around with it. The aliens stare intently at her and the baby.

The woman hears another directive: “Nurse the baby.” “Put the baby to your breast and feed the baby.” The woman says, “But I do not have any milk.” The response is, “Put the baby to your breast and nurse the baby!” Saying “No” is futile. If she resists, the aliens will put the baby to her breast anyway. It cups its mouth on her nipple. It has a very weak sucking reflex. In many instances, the woman may be surprised to find that she is lactating and that her breasts are engorged. When that happens the baby will partially drain the breast. Often, however, nursing the baby is futile but seems to satisfy the watchful aliens nonetheless.

Unlike many women, Jill Pinzarro found the baby-holding experience pleasant, and she did not look closely at the baby’s physical features.

I see someone coming toward me with a baby.

And do they say something to you then?

No, they just give it to me.

And what do you want to do with it?

I don’t… just to hold it.

Is this a big baby, or…?

It’s a little baby, about two and a half months old. Yeah, about that. Maybe a little bit older, younger.

Is this baby wearing anything?

It is when they come toward me. It’s wrapped in something.

Do you like this baby, is it a nice baby? What is your feeling toward it?

I like this baby.

Is the baby an active baby, or not active?

It’s a quiet baby.

Is it asleep, or is it awake?

It’s, hmm… it’s awake. It’s just not very, it’s kind of dopey. Not dopey, not dumb, but just passive.

Is it responsive to you, or not?

I get the feeling that it kind of likes being held.

Does this look like a healthy baby, or…?

Yeah, it seems like a reasonable baby.

Can you tell me what color hair it has?

Light, not much. Brown, but not dark. Fuzzy. Not much hair.

Can you tell me about its skin?

I’m not experiencing it so much in terms of visual things, because I feel the need to hold it, so I’m not really pulling it away and looking at it, I’m thinking about it. So I’m having a hard time with a visual impression.

Can you get a visual impression as it’s just handed to you?

Well, then it’s kind of covered so it’s hard. It’s… I think it’s a male, Caucasian.

Does it have light skin, or dark skin, within the Caucasian range?

Fair. Quite fair. I think it’s very fair, as a matter of fact. Almost like no ultraviolet light for
this
guy. But I’m having a very hard time seeing it.

Now, do you hold this baby for a while?

Um-hum.

Does it just lie there? Does it put its arms around you?

It’s too little for arms-around stuff….

Do you know sort of what the baby is thinking, or do you feel a bond with the baby in a mental way, in other words?

I feel as if it’s very important to the baby that it has this contact, and I’m very happy to do it for it. I feel that it really needs that. If you want to call that… it’s like it’s soaking up the experience of being held. That’s what I think.

Do you sit there with the baby the whole time, or do you stand up with it also?

Hmm… I carry it around, yes. I feel as if it needs the rhythm.

Is there anybody else in the room with you now?

A couple of little people. There might be somebody else that’s not a little person. Not the tall guy either, but maybe, more like the tall guy than the little people. And not a guy, in a way. Has a different aura. I can’t see, though. Just a feeling. I’d say it was the nursemaid.

Is this the one who handed you the baby?

Yeah, that’s right, and it is a taller person. It’s an “it” that approaches a “she,” as the tall guy is an “it” that approaches a “he.”

How can you tell that?

I don’t know. I have a… there’s some indication of responsible concern. It has… it’s a nanny, only not… but it has that slightly protecting feeling. Not maternal, but that’s why I get the impression of femaleness. It has a sort of hovering. Sort of an anxious, hovering quality, slightly. Not like worry, just monitoring carefully….

Can you hear any communication from her?

Hmm… I don’t know if it’s from this person or from the little people.

What are you hearing, or receiving?

“Baby needs to be nurtured.” It’s very important, and they can’t do it. It needs it from me. They can’t give it what it needs completely. It’s sort of a species-specific need, I guess. I don’t know. I don’t know why I know this. I don’t feel like somebody’s standing up there and saying it, I just understand that….

Okay, you hold the baby for a while, you walk around with the baby, and what happens then?

The nursemaid takes the baby, the nanny. I can tell the baby really [liked it]…. I don’t know why, I don’t see what difference it would make, but it was good….

So they take the baby away, and what happens next?

I feel a loss, in a way, which is funny because I’m not really a baby person and I only wanted one child, but I feel a connection. I guess it needs so much, I don’t know. And I could satisfy its needs. I guess I feel a little bonded in a way because I have bonded to a baby. Not anything like the bonding that I had with my daughter, but that baby got under my skin a little….
