Mental Probing

Perhaps the visions that we see are mere epi-phenomena, no more than our unconscious selves and our present culture desperately seeking a way to comprehend these alien intruders within our minds – psychic invaders from across the universe. If so, then are they probing for information, extracting data from us or taking genetic codes [?] …Far off in an alien laboratory is some other intelligence already piecing one of us together? If UFO abduction cases with their genetic abstraction overtones are a psychological manifestation of real mental probings by aliens, this could be happening right now.
