Techniques for Resisting Alien Abduction

These seven methods may help prevent abductions
In Knocknagoshel, County Kerry, the parish priest, Fr. Kelly, deciding his church needed a chandelier, appointed a parishioners' committee, asking them to determine how to obtain one. They talked it over, and appointed a member, Houlihan, to report back, who told Kelly that the committee had decided against it. "Why so?" asked Fr. Kelly. "What-ever made you decide that?" "We don't want a chandelier for three reasons. Half of us can't spell it, no one in the village can play it, and what our church really needs is more light," said Houlihan.
Parallels to abductionsUFO abduction research also has three problems: half of us can't agree how to define it, none of us know why it's happening, and we need a lot more light on the subject. A troublesome negative attitude is affecting both main research factions. Some researchers feel that UFO entity interaction is slowly evolving the human race. Though often a source of pain and terror to humans, they regard UFO entities as benign. Other researchers believe we are caught up in inescapable negative interactions with alien intelligence(s). Both diametrically opposed factions, however, seem to believe that humans have no control over abductions, and that resistance is inadvisable or impossible. ![]()
Ann Druffel wrote TUJUNGA CANYON CONTACTS
with co-author D. Scott Rogo and has been investigating UFO reports since 1957. She has researched over 1,500 UFO cases, including alleged landings, UFO photos, close encounters with physical effects on witnesses and terrains, and abduction cases. She is an avid hiker, amateur astronomer and certified hypnotist. Ann is a research consultant with the Mobius Society in Los Angeles.
Combating abduction techniques
Certain mental techniques may prevent abducting alien approaches and break off ongoing abductions. UFO abduction researchers should regard the data as anecdotal only, at present. Despite claims that abductees are missing fetuses, and that aliens are carrying on an active hybridization/breeding program with humans, no documented proof exists, although professional re-searchers (scientists and clinicians) are looking hard. Abduction scenarios, in which witnesses are taken from familiar surroundings by alien creatures and subjected to strange examinations, are being reported by hundreds of reliable, rational witnesses in various countries. An unexplained phenomenon is occurring.
These encounters take place in altered states of reality, rather than normal consciousness. The subjective encounters seem real to witnesses, and residual physical effects hint at objective reality, In 1988, after two decades of documenting reports and counseling terrorized witnesses, I realized that usual methods of analysis led nowhere. Abduction reports began to proliferate in 1975, and are now so numerous that sources investigating UFOs cannot adequately handle them. It was illogical to think that piling up case reports while traumatized witnesses knocked at the door would solve the problem. A class of witnesses reported successfully breaking off contact with unwelcome entities. They were as rational and stable as the best good abduction cases and some more so. Resistance cases presented a new way to study abduction reports. Resistance techniques apply mainly to cases involving "bedroom visitors" or grays—large-headed, big-eyed, light-skinned creatures ranging in height from 3-1/2 to 5 feet (presently the most commonly reported in the U.S.) Seven techniques have been identified. Most are ordinary abilities of the human mind and body. Mental struggle. It works best before abduction is fully under way. The witness is paralyzed and entities are perceived, but the unnatural calm hasn't yet set in. It involves sustained will power while attempting to move a small part of the body, usually a finger or a toe. When the witness makes that slight movement, the paralysis breaks, and the entities vanish. Mental struggle is often instinctive, but it can be learned. It works as well for terrorized witnesses as for those who are naturally more fearless. This technique was used by Emily Cronin who, in 1957, perceived a bright light and three entities while she and Jan Whitley were asleep inside their car in a mountainous area while driving home from a vacation. Both women awoke paralyzed, seeing a bright light nearby. Instinctively using mental struggle, Emily was able, after some minutes, to break the episode for both of them. The bright light disappeared, and they sped down the road in terror. Later, they accepted that they had encountered another form of (unknown) intelligence that was curious about human beings. Emily's experience set her up for more encounters. In the middle of the night, she was harassed by large-headed entities appearing in her bedroom, insisting that she come with them—why and where were never explained. She always felt awake during these episodes; since she did not wish to go with them, she used mental struggle. As soon as she could move a finger or toe, the paralysis broke and the creatures vanished. Emily has a strong sense of herself as a person with inviolable rights. Righteous anger. It is often used instinctively, but can be learned. It works best before paralysis sets in; the anger expressed against the entities can be either mental or verbal. Relatively fearless witnesses who have a firm sense of their own rights are more likely to use it successfully. In 1987, in Pensacola, Fla., a woman awoke to see a typical gray climbing down a column of light in her bedroom. She leaped out of bed, turned on a lamp, stared at the being and yelled, "Get outa here!" Immediately, the entity ascended through the ceiling. In citizen safety classes, law enforcement officers teach citizens to yell audible protests, instead of screaming, when faced by criminals. Loud, assertive demands like, "Go away, leave me alone, you haven’t any right!" throw the criminal off guard and alert nearby witnesses, and the criminal flees. These techniques inform abducting entities that this individual is not going to be an easy target, and also break through the altered state needed to keep witnesses compliant. ![]()
Figure A. Morgana Van Klausen's watercolor rendition, painted by researcher/artist Georgeanne Cifarelli,
of entities who repeatedly harassed Morgana in her California home. (Graphic used with permission of Georgeanne Cifarelli.) Protective rage can be used after an abduction to prevent future visits, and also during an experience, provided the "calm" has not yet set in. It involves strong mental and verbal rejection of the entities, especially their intrusive behavior. It works best when witnesses who experience ongoing abductions realize that their children are being harassed. Protective rage, like righteous anger, must be carefully focused. David Jacobs' A Secret Life and other recent books state repeatedly that anger and rage do not work against abducting entities and, according to the cases cited, they don't. There is a logical answer. Uncontrolled anger or rage are rooted in fear and despair, emotions incompatible with self-confidence and positive thinking. Righteous anger and protective rage are focused and positive. When used by assertive, relatively fearless individuals, who feel strongly that their rights are being violated, they seem to work against intrusive creatures. Some repeatedly harassed creative individuals sling rejecting phrases against the entities after intrusive visits. The visual image of; witnesses hurling verbal rejection against entities who are not there at the time may seem ridiculous, but the technique has proved successful in several cases, apparently preventing further episodes. Morgana Van Klausen, who lives in San Gabriel Valley, California, used it with other resistance techniques to stop repeated visits from entities with large black eyes and rough textured white skin (Figure A). It isn't known if this technique works by providing a psychic shield over the home, or whether the entities are able to sense rejection from a distance. We have to know more about the nature of abducting entities to explain it. If they are intradimensional, as suspected by researchers such as Jacques Vallee, Gordon Creighton and others, physical space-time around the witnesses may be strengthened in some way, so that the creatures are unable to penetrate from their dimension into the witnesses' environment. Are aliens intradimensional? Other dimensions' existence have been demonstrated mathematically, but we lack empirical evidence. Until science proves that they and intradimensional inhabitants exist, we cannot prove why righteous anger and other resistance techniques work.
Physical Struggle. Another commonly reported technique is physical struggle. It takes a strong, assertive personality, like Patsy, who was investigated by veteran UFO researcher Don Worley. Patsy reportedly was harassed by typical grays (Figure B) and was getting fed up. One night, three entities materialized in her bedroom while Patsy was awake. She jumped up and clutched the neck of the middle entity. Surprisingly, its neck snapped and its head fell on its back. Patsy felt sorry she'd hurt it, but she told the entities, "You're going to leave me alone!" The other two dragged the body of their companion backward and vanished.

Figure B. Patsy reportedly used physical struggle to fend off harassing entities.
Note witness' careful details.
Appeal to spiritual personages. It works whether the witnesses are fully awake or if they are already paralyzed and in an altered state. The majority of FATE readers believe in some theological doctrine—-Christianity, Judaism, Islam, etc.—so the technique is presented here as a pragmatic resistance method rather than as a religious teaching. Witnesses don’t have to be fearless or have strong confidence to use this technique successfully.
What they do need is strong faith in a spiritual realm in which spiritual, protecting personages reside. A variety of spiritual personages have been appealed to, including Christ, Mohammed, guardian angels and spiritual guides. During the '70s and '80s, Melissa MacLeod, a Southern California resident, repeatedly experienced terrifying episodes during which invisible forms of considerable weight—estimated at 50 to 80 pounds—would jostle her bed or poke her until she awakened, paralyzed. She used mental struggle the first few times, and succeeded in moving a portion of her body, upon which the paralysis and presences would vanish. Melissa has no memories of actual UFO abduction, but she has a prior history of two time lapses or amnesic periods in the 1950s, directly associated with UFO-type phenomena. Generally, the paralytic episodes involved invisible presences, but early one morning in the mid-1980s, she awoke paralyzed and saw a black, hooded figure standing near the side of her bed. In stark terror she instinctively called out mentally to God for help and the creature vanished. As the episodes continued, she appealed directly to the Archangel Michael, for whom she had developed a particular understanding and appreciation. He is regarded in Christian literature as a special protector against dark spirits. Dark spirits remind most people of demons or devils, but Melissa does not feel that the intrusive entities fell into either class. She reasoned that St. Michael could be equally as effective against the unknown entities who were harassing her, and found that mental appeals to him broke her paralysis in a few seconds. She has found a reliable way of breaking the episodes and no longer fears them, even though they still occur once in a while. Melissa's confidence in Michael's protection seems to be the basic equivalent of Emily's, Patsy's, and Morgana's confidence in themselves as people with rights (i.e., self-esteem) even though their techniques are not associated with orthodox religion. If UFO encounter witnesses feel that they have inviolable rights and/or the ability to protect themselves, they are protected. Likewise, if witnesses like Melissa feel that they can receive protection from outside sources, they are protected. It is the confidence that one is protected, or that a particular technique will work, that seems to bring about success. White light. One relaxes, visualizing white light streaming in through the top of the head—the crown chakra—filling the entire body and extending outward like a protective shield. The source of the light can be God or more vague Cosmic Powers. All seem equally effective.
Figure C. Lori Briggs reportedly used a resistance technique while lying upon a table in a UFO.
Internal sound can be useful in advanced stages of abduction. This technique allowed Lori Briggs to break off contact while she was still aboard the UFO (Figure C) in the company of typical abductors (Figure D). Lori has used it instinctively since childhood, but it is connected with some yogic doctrines and can be learned. Internal sound, according to Lori, is like a low-pitched musical note heard in the head and shoulders. She purposely amplifies it to relax, or in times of stress. When Lori used it aboard the craft in the presence of the abducting entities (See Figure C) they seemed very surprised and immediately returned her to her own bedroom. Lori now lives in Tujunga, Calif., where the entities still try to contact her; a high-pitched whine signals their coming. She has learned to detect the beginning of this sound and uses her own sound against it. Paralysis does not set in, and she is left unbothered. Lori regards the creatures who abducted her in 1975 as a different order of creation who are curious about us; she wishes them no harm. When the entities urged her to go with them she felt intuitively it would be for breeding purposes and didn't feel that she wanted to go with them. In spite of their repeated efforts to recontact her, she doesn't feel it is time to do so. "Someday, perhaps," she says, but on her own terms. She has a strong sense that she is master of her own destiny. ![]() Supportive family links aid resistance to intrusive entities. There is often a natural reluctance to confide in family and friends because of possible ridicule. For witnesses who want to learn to resist, it is helpful to seek help from family members. A correspondent from Florida, whom I'll call Jean, had numerous experiences in the middle of the night with a frightening figure that harassed her as a child. The entity, in her words, was "almost like an electronic force" trying to pull her out of her body. She confided in her grandmother, and learned that the older woman had had the same problem and had defended herself with prayer. The grandmother even had a name for the creature—medved, or "creature that comes in the night." At her grandmother's suggestion, Jean armed herself with pictures of the Sacred Heart, a Catholic concept of Christ, and during subsequent encounters informed the creature that the Sacred Heart was protecting her. Controlling her terror, she asked the entity questions: "Who are you?" "What do you want?" She never received an answer. Instead, the creature would come closer, right up to her face, and the witness would leap from bed and run out of the room to safety. The protection Jean felt she had from spiritual forces and the support of her grandmother did not stop the thing from coming, but she feels that they kept her from harm. Early detection is best The earlier a witness detects the entities' approach, the better resistance works. Some techniques can break off abduction scenarios that are underway. Resistance in the early stages of approach apparently works much faster, adding strength to the hypothesis that these unidentified creatures are from an interdimensional source instead of being fully physical and extraterrestrial. If the entities are entering our space-time from another dimension, our physical environment might be disturbed in a way that could be intuitively sensed. Intuition spans the bridge between our physical universe and other realities. Even if abductions eventually prove to be a bizarre psychological phenomenon, as suspected by some researchers, resistance techniques should still be effective. Witnesses who are convinced they can prevent abduction would be able to do so, even if the phenomenon springs unconsciously from within. Resistance is controversial , and some heated exchanges are taking place in the UFO literature. Some researchers feel that witnesses are merely permitted to feel that their resistance is successful. Others suggest that encouraging witnesses to try resistance is actually unethical, because it might tend to make some witnesses feel guilty for not resisting. Some witnesses, for reasons of their own, do not wish to end contact, and this article is not intended to convince them that they should. Successful resistance seems limited to witnesses who feel strongly that their rights are being violated, and they don't wish further contact. Witnesses who feel, for any reason, that they ought not resist have a perfect right not to try. However, the contrary is true as well; if witnesses wish to resist, they have a right to do so. I am assuming that humans have integrity, and the right to protect themselves from uninvited interference. If it could be proven that UFO entities are helping us evolve, then it would probably be inadvisable to fend them off. If it could be proven that abducting entities are ET's, it would probably be difficult to resist them. Neither of these hypotheses are proven. There is nothing in the great works of philosophy or religion, and no data is available from science that teaches us that other orders of creation are responsible for helping us evolve. Inalienable rights Humans are far from perfect, but many great civilizations recognize that each individual has inalienable rights. Most human beings are capable of compassion and other positive qualities. Abducting entities generally treat human beings as having no rights, and display little emotion or compassion. Possibly human beings are more evolved than these creatures in many ways. Perhaps they are neither inferior nor superior but simply different. Outdoor abductions are only a small fraction of the whole. Indoor abductions are different. The creature is perceived before the craft is seen, and the witness generally sees only the inside of the craft; the craft or rooms might even be mental constructs, projected into the witnesses' minds. The vast variety of detail from different witnesses suggests this. Also, abducting entities have been reported to materialize from thin air, or from balls of light or to shape-shift in varying ways. Ancient problem In modem guise? This shape-shifting reminds one of various types of entities that have been abducting and tampering with human sexuality for millennia, such as sylphs, incubi, jinns, and faery folk. Such creatures are considered, in folklore and in modem accounts, to be from dimensions outside our physical space-time, strengthening the intradimensional hypothesis. Perhaps these interfering types constitute orders of creation that have been with us since the beginning. Many researchers suspect that UFO abducting entities are simply an old human problem dressed in modern space clothing. Since most witnesses are in altered states of consciousness during abduction scenarios, they might perceive the event in another dimension. This could explain many things —why a witness' spouse or partner sleeps peacefully during an abduction and why, when awakened, they do not see the entities, who vanish instantly. It could also explain the hushed, abnormal atmosphere in which many abductions take place, that abductions often occur in the midst of urban surroundings without being witnessed by neighbors, and why many abducted witnesses feel that they are out-of-body. It seems impossible to make sense of the extraordinarily complex data. We have no reliable way of knowing which elaborate details are real or which seem to be real in the witnesses' minds. This applies particularly to details retrieved under hypnotic regression. It is logical to see if abductees who wish to resist are successful in doing so. Further study Is needed Resistance does not imply that we should try to get rid of abducting entities forever. The abduction phenomenon is an interesting, proper subject for research. If humans can establish control through resistance, this might be the first step toward determining the true nature of these visitors and eventually establishing honest communication. If unknown types of entities want something from us, they should explain what they need, ask us for our cooperation and provide verification that they are telling the truth. That could be a long process. More study needs to be done. I am assembling a 200-case catalogue to allow statistical analysis and other scientific studies, including psychological profiles that could identify personality traits common to witnesses who successfully resist traumatic contact. These pioneers might be the first to break through the mind-altering procedures and deceptive practices used by these entities, leading to clarification of their actual nature and motives.

Ann Druffel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Ann Druffel is an American UFO researcher and author of UFO books and articles as well as a researcher and author in various aspects of parapsychology such as paranormal photos, apports and psychic archeology. She and her husband, Charles K. Druffel, raised their five daughters and live in their home in a wooded glen in Pasadena, California.
Ann Druffel's education includes: B.A. in Sociology Major, Minors in Speech, Philosophy, and Economics at Immaculate Heart College, Hollywood, California; one year's post-graduate studies and field work toward an MSW. at Catholic University, Wash., D.C.; graduate studies, Screenplay and Creative Writing at Immaculate Heart College, Hollywood, CA.; hypnosis certificate at American Institute of Hypnosis.
Interested in earth mysteries of all kinds, Druffel has researched various aspects of the UFO question and investigated reports of all kinds since 1957. She was one of the first investigators for NICAP, remaining with that organization from 1957 to 1973. During the NICAP years she became acquainted with the renowned atmospheric physicist, Dr. James E. McDonald who had good contacts with NICAP, and participated with him in several UFO cases during his six years of public research with civilian UFO research organizations. After NICAP's downfall in 1969, Druffel joined the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) with which she is still actively associated as investigator, frequent contributor to their journal and other official capacities. She also joined the Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS) and contributes articles on California sightings and other UFO subjects to IUR (International UFO Reporter). She was a U.S. consultant and regular contributor for the British research journal FLYING SAUCER REVIEW (FSR) through 2004. Her six published books include:
He tapped numerous, highly-placed colleagues in the military, government and scientific fields for information during 1966-1971, known in the UFO field as "the McDonald years." He never neglected his climatological and meteorological projects, but additionally spent a lot of time researching the UFO phenomenon, often in close contact with objective private UFO researchers, solving numerous cases and adding information to unsolved sightings, the true "UFOs."
The book also deals with the National Investigations Committee On Aerial Phenomena (NICAP) with which McDonald was in contact and worked together, respectively. The book presents an account especially on the ousting of Donald E. Keyhoe, director of NICAP, under mysterious circumstances - Ann Druffel and others suspected that this was done by the secret undercover agents of CIA and the FBI who had penetrated the organization. Afterwards, without Keyhoe as Director, NICAP degenerated into total insignificance.
At the end of the 1960s, James McDonald was preparing to write a book on the UFO phenomenon, in which he intended to include his critique of the controversial 1968 Condon Report on the basis of which the US Air Force's terminated its 20-year UFO investigation Project Blue Book about one year later. By 1970, after contact with "higher ups", whose names and comments he did not disclose, McDonald seemed on the verge of actually breaking through the government cover-up but unexpectedly apparently committed suicide in June 1971. The majority of the scientifically-oriented UFO research field at the time, however, felt that his apparent suicide was brought on by depression induced by several factors, among which seemed to be government intervention. Druffel includes two hypotheses in Firestorm to explain his apparent suicide, one due to family problems which were affecting his life, the other being descriptions of several occurrences which seem very possibly government-induced, which led to deep depression and his apparent suicide.
It tells the experiences of five young women "abductees" who lived in and near Tujunga Canyon, northeast of Los Angeles, all of whom knew each other well. The Tujunga Canyon area is noted for bizarre UFO sightings of all kinds, including Close Encounters of the Third Kind and reported landings, as well as other parapsychological phenomena. This book details seven types of abduction events experienced by these women, which were investigated by Druffel for five full years and later by Druffel and Rogo together, using a combination of ufological and parapsychological research methods.
This classic book was updated in 1989 with two new chapters and in 2008 was again republished. During the updating, author Ann Druffel first came to a solid realization that abduction scenarios can be fended off by strong-willed, confident experiencers, since three of the five young women intuitively discovered, and used, various "resistance techniques" to fend off and eventually end the harrowing attacks.
Documented by numerous worldwide folklore, historical and religious writings, the book hypothesizes that so-called "UFO abductors" are an order of shapeshifting, deceptive creatures which share the earth with mankind, but in another "dimension", and that these creatures have sexually harassed and plagued individuals in all major world cultures throughout the millennia.
These creatures, existing normally in an altered reality separate from our ordinary space/time, ordinarily confront their victims when they (the victims) are in an altered state of consciousness, but the ensuing events seem so real that they are perceived as occurring in physical space/time.
On the other hand, Druffel considers so-called “abduction- scenarios” to be separate phenomena from the apparently extraterrestrial UFOs, as described above,. Since most abduction scenarios obviously take place in altered states of consciousness she doubts the physical reality of so-called genetic manipulation, missing fetuses, alien-military cooperation and "alien implants" due to the lack of solid scientific proof. The widespread knowledge, shared by most abduction researchers, that this phenomenon itself demonstrates deceptive components leads her to hypothesize that so-called "abducting UFO aliens" perceived in the Western world are posing as physical UFO occupants from physical UFOs.
However, she accepts many abduction scenarios as “real” in some form of "altered reality", especially those reported by undeniably rational, honest, and productive individuals. She accepts the possibility that such witnesses may be interacting with interdimensional beings which delight in harassing, deceiving, and assaulting unsuspecting human beings, often in a sexual manner. The orders of creation described in Celtic accounts (known as “bad faeries”), in the Muslim KORAN (known as jinns), in various European sources (known as incubi/succubi), by numerous names in Native American tribal cultures and in similar accounts from all world cultures. In every culture throughout the millennia "paraphysical creatures" are reported to act in intrusive ways very similar to our present so-called alien abductors. These orders of creation are described worldwide as (1) having the ability to shape-shift at will; (2) entering our Space-Time temporarily from their own space-time continuum(s); (3) sexually harassing their victims and performing other harmful mischief; and (4) appearing in various forms and "clothing" consistent with their victims' own cultural backgrounds..
Although most of Armand Marcotte's work with law enforcement was necessarily confidential, he received credit from the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) in the Los Angeles Daily News for his part in solving Rogo's murder. The Psychic and the Detective is also intended as a working manual for law enforcement officials who wish to consult qualified psychics in seeking solutions to unsolved crimes.
In each case, Marcotte perceived that the problems were caused by unsolved situations confronted by these clients in former lives, and his counsel brought about relief and solution for these individuals. Together with true accounts giving evidence of reincarnaton, the book also addresses the mystery of the Nag Hammadi Manuscripts found in Egypt which are considered possible former biblical writings which, among many other topics, explicitly discussed reincarnation and its relationship to the soul's progress, concepts possibly discarded by the Church in the early centuries.
The actual writing of the book was begun in 1997. They were able to complete four chapters together, but then Marcotte died in February 1999 of cancer. However, he advised Ann before he died that he would "come back from the other side" to help her finish it. In 2000, inspiration seemed to come to Druffel and she quickly completed the last five chapters, using readings Armand had given before his death, the details of which she researched intensely from numerous sources..

[edit] Ann Druffel and the UFO phenomenon
Ann Druffel dates her interest in the UFO question from 1945 when, as a schoolgirl, she viewed a bright yellowish object, very high in clear blue skies over Long Beach, California. She and her mother, Aileen Walsh McElroy, watched the object as it slowly traveled westerly. After about an hour the and one-half, the object having traveled about 30 degrees from the NNE to the NNW, released 15-20 smaller shiny objects, which took varying paths out and away from the main object. Years later, it was determined that this sighting occurred at about the same time the first experimental atom bomb was exploded in New Mexico.Interested in earth mysteries of all kinds, Druffel has researched various aspects of the UFO question and investigated reports of all kinds since 1957. She was one of the first investigators for NICAP, remaining with that organization from 1957 to 1973.

[edit] James McDonald Biography
Firestorm: Dr. James E. McDonald's Fight For UFO Science (2003) is Ann Druffel's most recent UFO-related book. It is an authorized biographical account of the meticulous UFO research by Dr. McDonald, a prestigious atmospheric physicist. McDonald was a fearless, tireless scientist who dared to enter the UFO field publicly in 1966, after eight prior years of private UFO research in and around his hometown of Tucson, Arizona. He was Senior Physicist and Meteorology Professor at the Institute of Atmospheric Physics (IAP) on the campus of the University of Arizona in Tucson and worked with several U.S. government offices on multiple projects in climatology and meteorology.He tapped numerous, highly-placed colleagues in the military, government and scientific fields for information during 1966-1971, known in the UFO field as "the McDonald years." He never neglected his climatological and meteorological projects, but additionally spent a lot of time researching the UFO phenomenon, often in close contact with objective private UFO researchers, solving numerous cases and adding information to unsolved sightings, the true "UFOs."
The book also deals with the National Investigations Committee On Aerial Phenomena (NICAP) with which McDonald was in contact and worked together, respectively. The book presents an account especially on the ousting of Donald E. Keyhoe, director of NICAP, under mysterious circumstances - Ann Druffel and others suspected that this was done by the secret undercover agents of CIA and the FBI who had penetrated the organization. Afterwards, without Keyhoe as Director, NICAP degenerated into total insignificance.

Druffel includes two hypotheses in Firestorm to explain his apparent suicide, one due to family problems which were affecting his life, the other being descriptions of several occurrences which seem very possibly government-induced, which led to deep depression and his apparent suicide.
[edit] The Tujunga Canyon Contacts
Ann Druffel's book The Tujunga Canyon Contacts (1980), co-authored by parapsychologist D. Scott Rogo, was only the second book written in the UFO research field about so-called "alien abductions", a phenomenon which virtually took the attention of most investigators beginning in 1973.It tells the experiences of five young women "abductees" who lived in and near Tujunga Canyon, northeast of Los Angeles, all of whom knew each other well. The Tujunga Canyon area is noted for bizarre UFO sightings of all kinds, including Close Encounters of the Third Kind and reported landings, as well as other parapsychological phenomena. This book details seven types of abduction events experienced by these women, which were investigated by Druffel for five full years and later by Druffel and Rogo together, using a combination of ufological and parapsychological research methods.
This classic book was updated in 1989 with two new chapters and in 2008 was again republished. During the updating, author Ann Druffel first came to a solid realization that abduction scenarios can be fended off by strong-willed, confident experiencers, since three of the five young women intuitively discovered, and used, various "resistance techniques" to fend off and eventually end the harrowing attacks.
[edit] Defense against alien abduction
Druffel's 1998 book, How To Defend Yourself Against Alien Abduction has caused its own controversial "firestorm" in the UFO field, ever since it released the idea that simple mental and physical "resistance techniques" can fend off harassing "alien attacks." Many top researchers, and other UFO investigators have entered the ongoing controversy, contending that "abductors" are physical, technologically-superior aliens from physical UFOs and consequently cannot be resisted successfully. Yet, Druffel's twenty-five years of research into the "UFO alien abduction" phenomenon reveals that strong-willed individuals with a powerful sense of their own rights can "fend off" these apparent entities which repeatedly harass and/or sexually interfere with them.Documented by numerous worldwide folklore, historical and religious writings, the book hypothesizes that so-called "UFO abductors" are an order of shapeshifting, deceptive creatures which share the earth with mankind, but in another "dimension", and that these creatures have sexually harassed and plagued individuals in all major world cultures throughout the millennia.
These creatures, existing normally in an altered reality separate from our ordinary space/time, ordinarily confront their victims when they (the victims) are in an altered state of consciousness, but the ensuing events seem so real that they are perceived as occurring in physical space/time.
[edit] Hypothesis of origin(s)
In general, as regards UFOs, Druffel hypothesizes that the so-called "UFO phenomenon" is actually two separate phenomena. Like James McDonald, she favors the extraterrestrial hypothesis to explain UFOs seen from a distance, in which no contact or only minimal contact occurs between the witnesses and craft/occupants. From the weight of evidence, she accepts that reports by credible witnesses of seemingly metallic, physical aeroforms which are detected on radar, chased by jet pilots, photographed by verifiably honest witnesses, and occasionally viewed landing on the earth constitute a serious scientific question which has been neglected by the scientific establishment and that secrecy imposed on the subject by the US government is unreasonable and ill-founded.On the other hand, Druffel considers so-called “abduction- scenarios” to be separate phenomena from the apparently extraterrestrial UFOs, as described above,. Since most abduction scenarios obviously take place in altered states of consciousness she doubts the physical reality of so-called genetic manipulation, missing fetuses, alien-military cooperation and "alien implants" due to the lack of solid scientific proof. The widespread knowledge, shared by most abduction researchers, that this phenomenon itself demonstrates deceptive components leads her to hypothesize that so-called "abducting UFO aliens" perceived in the Western world are posing as physical UFO occupants from physical UFOs.
However, she accepts many abduction scenarios as “real” in some form of "altered reality", especially those reported by undeniably rational, honest, and productive individuals. She accepts the possibility that such witnesses may be interacting with interdimensional beings which delight in harassing, deceiving, and assaulting unsuspecting human beings, often in a sexual manner. The orders of creation described in Celtic accounts (known as “bad faeries”), in the Muslim KORAN (known as jinns), in various European sources (known as incubi/succubi), by numerous names in Native American tribal cultures and in similar accounts from all world cultures. In every culture throughout the millennia "paraphysical creatures" are reported to act in intrusive ways very similar to our present so-called alien abductors. These orders of creation are described worldwide as (1) having the ability to shape-shift at will; (2) entering our Space-Time temporarily from their own space-time continuum(s); (3) sexually harassing their victims and performing other harmful mischief; and (4) appearing in various forms and "clothing" consistent with their victims' own cultural backgrounds..
[edit] Ann Druffel's and the psychic realm
[edit] The Psychic and the Detective
As far as Ann Druffel's books concerning her longtime research on various paranormal phenomena, The Psychic and the Detective, co-authored by renowned clairvoyant Armand Marcotte, is a comprehensive account of several of the cases on which Marcotte worked at the request of various police and sheriff departments in California, including Los Angeles, Riverside, San Diego, San Bernardino, and Imperial counties. For decades, Marcotte, a well-known psychic consultant, also assisted various law enforcement departments throughout the Southwest and Midwest, often giving clues which led to solution of previously- unsolved cases, among them the vicious murder of D. Scott Rogo, renowned parapsychologist and author who, among his own numerous books on parapsychological subjects, had co-authored Druffel's The Tujunga Canyon Contacts in 1980 and 1989.Although most of Armand Marcotte's work with law enforcement was necessarily confidential, he received credit from the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) in the Los Angeles Daily News for his part in solving Rogo's murder. The Psychic and the Detective is also intended as a working manual for law enforcement officials who wish to consult qualified psychics in seeking solutions to unsolved crimes.
[edit] Past Lives Future Growth
Past Lives: Future Growth was authored by psychic Armand Marcotte, and co-authored by Ann Druffel. It is a hypothetical overview of reincarnation from the Western point of view. Both authors are Catholic, but since the Catholic Church has no dogma or doctrine regarding reincarnation, Marcotte and Druffel were free to research for themselves the truth or untruth of this widely-held theory. The Western theory of reincarnation is a logical explanation of the apparent inequality of human lives, and Past Lives: Future Growth details several true cases of people caught in disturbing life problems, for which they sought psychic counseling from Marcotte.In each case, Marcotte perceived that the problems were caused by unsolved situations confronted by these clients in former lives, and his counsel brought about relief and solution for these individuals. Together with true accounts giving evidence of reincarnaton, the book also addresses the mystery of the Nag Hammadi Manuscripts found in Egypt which are considered possible former biblical writings which, among many other topics, explicitly discussed reincarnation and its relationship to the soul's progress, concepts possibly discarded by the Church in the early centuries.
[edit] Standing in God's Light
Standing in God's Light: In End Times is the third book co-authored by Ann Druffel and Armand Marcotte. It was begun in 1995 when Marcotte began receiving specific data regarding the approach of so-called end times and in particular the ways in which people could conduct their lives in order to be among those who would survive coming worldwide chaos.The actual writing of the book was begun in 1997. They were able to complete four chapters together, but then Marcotte died in February 1999 of cancer. However, he advised Ann before he died that he would "come back from the other side" to help her finish it. In 2000, inspiration seemed to come to Druffel and she quickly completed the last five chapters, using readings Armand had given before his death, the details of which she researched intensely from numerous sources..
