Aliens, ETs and UFOs > Abduction/Contact
Was I visited by an alien?
Jake:
I'm not completely ruling out the possibility... However, in this case, the answer to the question is "almost certainly" no.
Why is it so hard to accept the possibility, that even if you fervently believe such an experience to be plausible, it might not be?
Nina:
It is not hard, but once one lives through such event, its way beyond mere faith ;)

What you are saying, then, is that just because you too may have had a sleep paralysis incident, we must all believe in extraterrestrial visitation?
I'm not saying that this is absolutely impossible.
Just extremely improbable.
The absence of independent witnesses and verifiable data does not help, either.

Independent witness? As what? My ex husband not good enough cause he doesnt have a degree in ufology? He actually thought that somehow i made him see what i saw, with my super powers. So, what does sound more probable? Aliens or super Nina ;)
I still have marks from that day.
I am so sorry for you really, never had anything extraordinary and miracle worth happen in your life. Maybe then you would understand.

Nobody asked you to apologise.

This is a classic false dichotomy - a logical fallacy in which you have omitted consideration of all reasonable alternatives. You suggest that it is an either-or dilemma and offer just two explanations, when, in fact, there are many other viable alternatives. Sleep paralysis - while in itself only a suggested explanation - is a proven, tested, known, measurable phenomena, and thus massively more probable than aliens (unproven) or super-Nina (also un-proven).

Did you consult medical specialists about your injuries? Did you report this to any authority?

Au contraire. I have witnessed many unexplained situations. I just learned to stop assuming that they were of a supernatural origin until proven so. Besides, life, the world around us - even those things which our post-modern society now considers hum-drum - the very universe, is so full of extraordinary and miraculous (in the layman's sense of the term) phenomena that I don't see the need to make it more "exciting" by positing that fairies or goblins or aliens or angels or demons ad nauseam are responsible. That's Hollywood's view of the world, not reality.
