The readings taken from a thought screen helmet reveal the voltage from inside the hat are at 128.4 AC/ Ohms. The meter demonstrates that the Thought Screen Helmet intercepts and scrambles signals from aliens. These signals occur after wearing the helmet for at least four weeks. If you don't get this type of signal then you are not being abducted by Aliens.

These are findings from studying signals with a meter:

Abduction victims are constantly monitored by aliens.
Aliens may be sending their victims telepathic messages for control at any time..
The aliens modulate their signals in an effort to penetrate thought screens.
Several abductees report that aliens give them a telepathic command to stop wearing the helmet when they have it off. This confirms the findings with the meter readings of signals received by the helmets. The only way to stop such alien telepathic commands is to wear the helmet as much as possible.

Well, see, that kinda proves it, doesn't it? Even discounting the electronic gibberish which is blatantly ignorant, there's a kind of elegance in the assertion that if you don't get the protection from aliens promised, then you aren't in need of protection in the first place.   But if you feel like not wearing the helmet, then you need it.

LOL!!!

Too busy reading, not enough time for showering. It is possible to read in the bath, but not the shower, unless it's one of those bright, colourful plastic books, usually with a patchwork elephant or cheery ducky on the cover, and words of 2 syllables or less.

I have never been abducted by aliens, although I've had some pretty good conversations with radiators.

The whole point of the site may well be that if you THINK you haven't ever been abducted by aliens, you might have been, and accordingly should wear a helmet so they can't maintain control of your thoughts. And if you think you HAVE been abducted, you probably already have your order in.

"The first thought screen helmets were made in 1998 and used aluminum foil. They were sent to an investigator in Iowa. The investigator reported that one user tried it for a short time with no results. Afterwards, the investigator could not be reached and the whereabouts of the helmets are unknown."

Iowa is notoriously bad that way. Those helmets are no doubt in the Davenport dump! The investigator is in cognito.

The instructions above to keep the helmet on at all times reminds me of the old story about the three explorers trekking through the savannas of the African subcontinent. In the last village they had passed through, an old gentleman had warned them to be wary of the Foo Bird. For those who have never heard this story, or never encountered such a bird, the Foo Bird attacks by bombing you on the head with its evil smelling excrement. What's worse is if you wipe the excrement off, you are said to die in minutes in terrible agony.

Well, the three explorers were much amused by this story and went merrily on their way. Alas, they soon heard the beating wings of a great bird diving toward them and sure enough, PLOP!, one of the explorers had his head covered in evil smelling Foo shit. Well, he lost little time in wiping it off and two the amazement and consternation of his two companions died in horrible agony in mere minutes. Well, after burying their late companion, the two remaining explorers resumed their trek across the savanna.

A little later they heard the beating wings of another diving Foo Bird and though they endeavored to avoid it, PLOP!, you guessed it, another explorer was struck dead center on the head with a load of evil smelling Foo Shit. He decided not to wipe it off but after a few more hours in the hot African sun he had to wipe it off and died in horrible agony in a few minutes.

There was now only one explorer left (if I've counted correctly) and he decided to pick up the pace, beginning to trot across the vast savanna. But he too soon heard another Foo Bird approaching and swerve as he might, PLOP!, his head was also covered with evil smelling Foo shit. But he was able to resist wiping it off, made his way back to England, retired to his estate, and lived to a "ripe" old age.

The moral to this story?

If the Foo shits, wear it!

And if you purchase the alien protection helmet, I would urge you to wear that at all times as well.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble

John Hardly (you evil little potter, you) you should check with me before publishing this stuff. Had you done so, I would have let you know that alien abduction (like certain viruses and penicillin) has developed a very dangerous resistance to not showering. I have had to increase the treatment to not showering, not brushing my teeth, and the way it is going, I will likely have to go to not washing underwear very soon. Science simply must take this much more seriously. Soon I will have to go to additives to protect meself.

The aliens have advanced technology...

The high technology of the aliens does not mean that their technology necessarily must triumph over crude methods available for us.

I once observed a $200,000 stretch limo, complete with cruise control, satellite navigation, built in wet bar, TV, fancy stereo, and mini-hot tub, with armor plated sidewalls and bullet-proof windows, with a "super-cat" turbo diesel engine, defeated by a simple 6" curbing on which it was high-centered and completely immobilized.

Technology and advanced science mean nothing when one has "one wheel off the ground"¹ - if it's a drive wheel.

¹ may apply to either controller or controllee.

A recent article on advances in medical training:


Training docs to examine private parts offers -

Dr. Carla Pugh seems an unlikely patron of porn shops.
But that's exactly where Pugh, an assistant professor of surgery at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine, procured some of the male body parts she uses to train medical students about human anatomy.

Pugh, 41, has patented technology that combines portions of fully formed anatomical mannequins with computers to teach medical students to do exams on the body's most private and sensitive areas — genitalia, breasts and rectums.

These are the exams, she said, that students are often most afraid of and that many medical school instructors, themselves often long-time practicing physicians, still find to be a source of embarrassment.

"We've got big issues in the U.S. with sexuality," Pugh said in an interview during a break from teaching first-year medical students. "These guys have to be able to do it and act professional, so that adds a lot of pressure."
... ... ...

Scatological humor is inevitable. An instructor assures a student that, yes, you can tell a patient it's OK to pass wind if necessary during the exam and ask for a warning first.

In the interests of intergallactic diplomacy, a warning would be appropriate, even if the aliens don't provide instructions at the start of the exam.

There's a lovely scene in a programme I can't remember (probably 'Red Dwarf') where during a fight with an alien, the main character kicks him in the knee, whereupon the alien collapses writhing to the ground in agony.

A recent report on psychological studies of "remembering" and "belief" phenomena appears at Belief in reincarnation tied to memory errors. Buried in the article is the suggestion that the same kinds of "memory errors" are observed in persons who report alien encounters.

Past life memories are not the only type of implausible memories that have been studied in this manner. Richard McNally, a clinical psychologist at Harvard University, has found that self-proclaimed alien abductees are also twice as likely to commit source monitoring errors.

Quite obviously, the researchers missed the potential to use their results to devise a simple test for persons who have been recruited by, and are in league with, the aliens.

Alternatively, of course, it may be the researchers themselves who have been recruited; and their report may be an alien attempt to discredit those whose memory is normal and who are simply more resistant to complete alien control ... and who hence do remember their encounters ?????

I recall a Twilight Zone episode starring Andy Devine. Devine played a rube in bib overalls who wandered around playing a harmonica. He was kidnapped by aliens who brought him aboard their space ship (saucer-shaped, of course) to interrogate him prior to the aliens launching a full-scale invasion of Earth. Devine, who as sorta clueless as to what was going on, figured that maybe these weird characters might enjoy some music, so he pulled out his harmonica and started to play it. The aliens clapped their paws over their auditory organs and fell, writhing, on the deck of their space ship.

They let Andy Devine go, and headed away from Earth at warp-speed. They had decided that the Earthling's "sonic weapon" was something they simply couldn't cope with.

Not sure about being abducted by aliens but I think they are trying to tell me something.

I have just watched Doctor Who and as Martha sat in the car, the radio the thingy played "The Old Rugged Cross". "Spooky!" I said to my family, who had also been at the funeral. Then at the end, what should they play but "Abide with Me"! I think that is very weird! Someone is trying to get a message to me. I only hope it's David Tennant!!

There are plenty of folks who are in institutions that are afraid of alien abduction. Some of them are even in some churches.

If there is life on other planets in different galaxies as Carl Sagan has suggested, they probably wouldn't be recognized because they would be small like insects or bacteria.
