## Resource

In this interview, author and experiencer Steve Aspin shares his personal experiences with alien abductions and discusses his research on the broader phenomenon, and where it points. The UFO phenomenon, with all its complicated nuances, isn’t only love and light. Aspin attests to the difficult nature of these experiences.Aspin describes his first encounter with extraterrestrial beings at age 10, which he later connected to a multi-generational pattern of abductions in his family. He details subsequent experiences, including a 1972 daytime abduction and a 2007 encounter in a hotel room that was unquestionably a concrete physical experience. Aspin explains how abductees often experience missing time and physical evidence like scars and implants. We explore their purpose, and discuss the various types of alien beings involved: greys, reptilians, and mantis-like creatures. We discuss the possibility of a breeding program, or hybridization, with Aspin wondering if some humans have been genetically engineered to have special abilities and absolute loyalty toward their controllers. The interview concludes with a discussion of the scientific evidence supporting Aspin's claims, including lab reports on physical evidence like hair samples and scars.Aspen has a new book coming out shortly, "Investigating the Impossible: Biology Offers New Answers and Insights," co-written with Dr. Andreas Luck. It should be out this spring.
