Rethinking MILABS: "Military Abductions" Excerpted from the
Second Edition of By Kay Wilson

The term MILABS is an acronym that refers to "military abductions" or abductions during which military personnel are seen, sometimes working alone and sometimes working alongside of alien beings. There are divergent opinions about these types of abductions. Some researchers believe they are perpetrated by aliens alone or alien-human hybrids dressed in military uniforms. Other researchers believe they are a highly secret group of specially trained humans using alien technology who are working with one or more groups of aliens. Still others claim this is all an illusion perpetrated by "mind control" agents and these events are created via technology such as neural implants, holographs and wave technology that create what are referred to as virtual reality scenarios. MILABS are extremely controversial and MILAB abductees are viewed by some researchers and organizations as "The Black Sheep" of the abduction phenomenon. In other words, being abducted by aliens is one thing, but to be abducted by one's own military or government is quite a different subject. However, all we have to do is look at the past actions of the Bush-Cheney Administration to see that our government has illegally abducted people before for interrogation purposes. Yes, some of them were terrorists, but not all. How do the people in our government who are "in the know" about the extraterrestrial presence feel about alien abductees? Do they view us as, more or less dangerous than the people they have admitted to abducting in the past? What I've learned from studying MILABS is one of the main reasons these perpetrators abduct abductees is because they are trying to learn everything they can about the aliens' motives and activities; in other words, everything the abductees know. It is important to understand that both the way the abductee is abducted and the location of the interaction are key in determining who and what we are really dealing with when we talk about MILABS. Some of the questions to ask when studying these cases are: Do they use drugs? Does the abductee report seeing the abductors wearing military uniforms or terrestrial clothing such as medical attire? Is the abductee taken out of their house or automobile and loaded into an awaiting helicopter, or suddenly find himself or herself onboard another type of aircraft or in an unknown automobile? Does the abductee find himself or herself inside an abandoned hospital or military base? No one could really know how the public would latch onto the term MILABS as it has done since I published Project Open Mind in 1996 and The Lammer’s published MILABS: Military Mind Control and Alien Abduction in 1997. Not since Martin Cannon's seminal work The Controllers: A New Hypothesis of Alien Abduction has a possible alternative explanation for alien abduction been so overblown and misconstrued as the MILAB phenomenon has been. After having published Project Open Mind -- MILABS: Are Some Alien Abductions Government Mind Control Experiments? I can certainly relate to Martin Cannon’s frustration when he told me he regretted ever writing his monograph because so many people used it as an excuse to explain everything from mental illness to alien abductions. We are now seeing the same phenomenon occurring with the subject of MILABS or "military abductions." It disturbs me to see “milabs” as the top search string on my Web site because The Alien Jigsaw Website is 98% alien abduction and 2% other. In Project Open Mind, I referenced The Controllers, as well as many other sources, as a way to make a comparison between what appeared to be military type abductions and the technology involved in mind control programs. However, when Lammer published his MILAB articles followed by his book by the same title a year later, the UFO community was taken by storm. Unfortunately -- and I say unfortunately because MILAB encounters are not the norm -- sometimes it seems more people are interested in the “MILAB phenomenon” than in true abductions by, and interaction with, extraterrestrial Beings! This was an unfortunate and unintended consequence of both my research and Dr. Lammer’s research, and I hope by publishing this now, this misconception will be corrected. I concluded Project Open Mind by stating: “Although all I have to offer is my eye-witness testimony, I sincerely believe that alien Beings have abducted me. I emphatically state, for the record, that most of the experiences I documented in [my books] were alien experiences. A smaller portion of my experiences (both published and unpublished), may indeed consist of some type of black-ops [covert ops] involvement.”-- 1996 I still hold to this opinion today. If you will take the time to read my four-part article titled The Hybrids, and the Second Edition of my e-book, you will have an idea of the possible motives for these activities and just how human appearing some of the Hybrids may now look, some 60 years after the Hybrid Breeding Program was begun. It is, as David Jacobs has theorized, possible that some of the humans, which abductees report seeing during their alien abductions may in fact be hybrids who look very much like human beings. I readily admit that not all MILABS can be explained with this theory; however, it is a very important reason to reevaluate the overall MILAB phenomenon. Melinda Leslie and RE-ABS An important step in the reevaluation process of the MILAB phenomenon has been undertaken by researcher/abductee Melinda Leslie. She has suggested the use of a new acronym called RE-ABS, which stand for “reverse engineering from abductees,” with the hope that a more accurate description of these types of encounters will be understood and accepted by not only the UFO/Abduction communities, but by the general public as well. While we may not have exact numbers regarding how many abductees are experiencing RE-ABS, (MILABS), Leslie's research sheds new light on how and why these types of experiences really do involve the reverse engineering from abductees by covert forces. Whether they turn out to be human operatives, hybrid operatives, or a combination of the two; ufologists and abduction researchers can no longer deny this aspect of the multi-faceted abduction phenomenon that is very much a part of ufology as a whole. As I often like to remind ufologists, "Those 'lights in the sky' come down to Earth a lot more often than you realize." And importantly, ETs are not the only ones who are extremely interested in abductees. To read Melinda Leslie's fascinating position paper click on: RE-ABS – Not MILABS |
