| RE-ABS Not MILABS: How the Covert-Ops’ Reverse Engineering of Extraterrestrial Abductees Shifts the Abduction Paradigm By Melinda Leslie, July 2009 |
Given all I've said here it's easy to see why many abduction researchers and ufologists have a negative knee-jerk reaction when they hear
are no ET abductions and giving an all too easy reason to explain them all away, to claiming that there is some outrageous mind control
program manipulating hundreds of thousands of people across the globe into believing they are all ET abductees. Never mind that such
views are completely void of voluminous ET abduction research data and evidence accumulated over years of study and dedication by
serious researchers, as well as being void of the data found in MILAB accounts.
Given this insight, the view expressed in the following story is understandable. I occasionally attend abduction researcher and therapist,
Yvonne Smith's, CERO (Close Encounter Resource Organization) support group. Recently after one of our meetings, I had a discussion
with Yvonne regarding my ongoing MILAB research when she shared that during various public appearances and UFO conferences at
which she speaks, she is often approached and asked if she thinks all abductions were done by the military, and not ETs. She said the
person asking her will often say "MILAB", implying it only means a military cause for all abductions. I then explained and clarified my
research to Yvonne, but this incident serves to demonstrate a real problem with the public’s misperception of the subject.
Well-known ufologist Jacques Vallee, in his book Revelations: Alien Contact and Human Deception, 1992, also asserted that many ET
abduction cases may be psyops deceptions perpetrated by US intelligence agencies. With respected researchers stating such a possible
cause for abductions, no wonder ufology has developed the conditioned response that MILABS could mean such a thing!
I understand that nothing strikes fear in an abduction researcher more than someone trying to convince them of a purely human cause (non-
ET based) explanation that negates years of research, overwhelming evidence, hard fought for recognition, appreciation of abduction
survivors, and the overcoming of so much ridicule for both researcher and abductee alike. Not to mention abduction research’s hard won
respect in ufology, rather recently won and still tentative at best.
The idea that MILABS may be hybrid ETs in military uniforms has been expressed by a handful of individuals, most notably that of Dr. David
Jacobs. Dr. Jacobs is a friend of mine and a few years back I spoke with him regarding this subject. What he generally believes was stated
in his book The Threat, 1998, where he says that abductees mistake human-like ET hybrids dressed in military uniforms for US military
personnel and that these ETs bring abductees to abandoned military bases or unused areas of active bases where they examine and
interrogate them. Therefore, according to him, there is no evidence that the military is involved in abductions.
Obviously there are a few problems with this view, the first being that in most abductee accounts, the military bases are anything but
abandoned. Rather, there are many complex military activities going on at them. Also, how would hybrid ET beings have access to unused
areas of active bases and why would they be interrogating abductees about their ET experiences? Last but not least, his view does nothing
to explain all the harassment and surveillance evidence or the presence of ongoing intelligence insider “minders” interacting with
abductees in their day-to-day lives.
In addition, in the 1998 MUFON Symposium Proceedings, Dr. Jacobs wrote that he thought that only abductees who are not well-known
claim to have military experiences. This is not true. Some of the best known and most famous abductees were the first to come forward,
people like Whitley Strieber, Debbie Jordan, Leah Haley, Katharina Wilson, and Karla Turner.
I feel that Dr. Jacobs is misinterpreting some of the strongest evidence in support of his own theories. Certainly if his theory regarding the
ETs as a type of “threat” are correct, and if the number of abduction cases is anywhere near what the researchers claim they are, then
wouldn’t those folks who run the intelligence apparatus have figured this out too, and wouldn’t they then have had to make abductions a
matter of national security? Additionally, wouldn’t the intelligence apparatus, using one of its working arms such as the military, have an
interest in studying such a “threat”?
If abductions are a question of national security, wouldn’t abductees be a part of that question? How better to study the matter than to
monitor, surveill, and interrogate those involved? While it would be difficult to do so with ETs, it is not so with abductees, especially if given
good reason with enough black budget monies to be thrown at it (more on this later). So, if Dr. Jacobs is correct, then of course mil/intel
communities are going to be interested in abductees. The evidence for MILABS actually validates his research, its importance, and the
ultimate reality of ET abductions overall.
The reason for a name change is simply that the acronym MILAB puts such an emphasis on the experience being military driven, which in
turn causes so much derision. The perception it conjures falls short of including all of what is going on in the experiences and also falls
short of addressing why. It is doubtful that the military is actually directing this program. It is more likely that a covert intelligence and ET
information management group (I call this the “cabal”) uses military personnel to conduct and carry out its operations. My guess is even
UFO crash retrievals aren’t directed by the military, just performed by them. The term MILAB places an overemphasis on the military part of
the equation and casts the military in a very negative light. They’re probably not the ones giving the orders – the cabal is.

data does not point to a military in-lieu-of ET abduction thesis, but quite the contrary; a military/intelligence community involvement because of ET experiences! It is
abductees, know regarding the ETs, their motives, and what we know about ET technology. Hence, moving forward, I can’t help but feel a redefinition is needed. In
the past, I attempted to explain it with my original definition (“covert intelligence and paramilitary re-abduction….”), that is until I was interviewed by radio host Tim
Binnall on his internet show Binnall of America. At one point during the show, I was explaining how during a MILAB interrogation the abductee is often questioned
about ET technology. When I said this Mr. Binnall said, “It’s like they’re reverse engineering via the abductees,” but at the time I thought he said, “It’s like they’re
previously thought about it in those exact terms, but realized as he did, that is precisely what is going on. He was right, they are reverse engineering via the abductee,
and I was right, they are reverse engineering the abductee.
RE-ABS: An Acronym is Reborn
I’m sure that many, if not most, readers upon seeing the title of this article thought “re-abductions” upon seeing the acronym RE-ABS. Well, you’d be right, or at least
half right. The obvious play on words is intentional. But, while it does mean re-abduction in the form of experiences where some individuals are being abducted by
military subsequent to an ET experience (with or without the presence of ETs), or are taken again by ETs with military personnel also present, it also means R.E. -ABS
as in reverse engineering from abductees and/or reverse-engineered abductees.
Someone recently explained to me that they were confused as to what the term “reverse-engineered” meant as is it is used so much throughout ufology (also referred
to as “back-engineered”). Their comment helped me to realize this widely used phrase may not be as well understood as I, or other researchers, have assumed. So,
for those of you who may need clarification, here is the Wikipedia (online encyclopedia) and Wictionary (online dictionary) definitions:
Reverse engineering (RE) is the process of discovering the technological principles of a device, object or system through analysis of its structure, function and
operation. It often involves taking something (e.g., a mechanical device, electronic component, or software program) apart and analyzing its workings in detail to be
used in maintenance, or to try to make a new device or program that does the same thing without copying anything from the original. Reverse engineering has its
origins in the analysis of hardware for commercial or military advantage. The purpose is to deduce design decisions from end products with little or no additional
knowledge about the procedures involved in the original production.
Reverse-engineer. To derive or duplicate the design, technical specifications, manufacturing methods, or functionality of an object by studying an existing product,
prototype, etc.
Reverse engineering. The process of analyzing the construction and operation of a product in order to manufacture a similar one.
When UFO researchers use the above terms, they are generally referring to the concept that captured, crash-retrieved, shot down, given, or loaned ET technology is
either taken apart or examined closely to determine how it works, in order to duplicate it, or to develop something in human technology that mimics it.
Crash Retrievals + Reverse Engineering + ET Abductions = RE-ABS: Formula for a New Paradigm
This formula, while playing off the obvious technical mathematical theme, conceptualizes what my research is saying. I know that most folks would not see how
adding such seemingly different ufology research concepts would or could add up together. Yet, in my research the relationship is the key.
As I stated in the beginning, this targeting of us abductees by governmental agencies is some of the strongest evidence for the reality and importance of the ET
abduction phenomenon. If there is no such thing as ET abduction, then why would these RE-AB related events be happening to us, people who have nothing in their
lives to warrant any kind of covert mil/intel interest in them other than that they claim to have experienced an ET abduction?
Harassment, surveillance, and re-abduction by these agencies suggests there must be something very important about us and our ET experiences or why is all the
time, energy, and money being spent? To most readers, the concept of covert black budget programs existing within governmental systems is well understood. Many
highly secret covert programs' financial accounting is buried in such "black budgets," seemingly overlooked by those to whom government is entrusted. Yet, make no
mistake; the appropriation of monies within black budgets is still within someone's approval process. Somewhere in a chain of command the decision is being
made to allocate money towards said "project." That "project" still requires a "budget" regardless of how white, grey (pun intended), or black it is! And in all standard
business practices, budget line items still require justification.
So, given the extent of what must be involved in RE-ABS with operational task force teams, facilities in use, transportation logistics, data management, and military or
intelligence personnel at every stage of the events, someone is justifying such an immense expenditure – right? My research into the experiences reported shows
many common threads shared in those experiences. One such thread is an interest in ET technology by these agencies. So, how do you justify the money that would
have to be allocated for such experiences? The technology, that's how!
From crash retrieval cases alone we know the UFO management and technology cabal is obviously pursuing the technology! Thus, black budgets would be involved
in running an operation such as a crash retrieval. In his research of the subject, Ryan Wood, author of Majic Eyes Only: Earth's Encounter with Extraterrestrial
Technology, 2005, suggests there may be as many as 74 known incidents of UFO crash retrieval operations. Even if the actual number is less, obviously someone is
justifying the expense for those operations. And again, the justification would be the pursuit of ET technology.
Besides wanting to retrieve the technology, they would also be asking "how does it work?" Now, add that question with the sheer number of ET abduction cases out
there, and wouldn't it stand to reason that somewhere along the way they would have to have asked, "Could some of these abductees know something?" Especially if
those managing the ET issue within the covert world are aware to any degree the depth of abduction research and the number of individuals involved worldwide?
It would be their job to know. Their job to know that two different Roper Polls conducted have respondents the Roper organization says statistically represent
approximately 4,000,000 (four-million) ET abductees in the continental US alone! Their job to know that US abduction researchers numbering in the double digits
have on the average between 500 and 1,500 separate documented cases each! And that in other countries, ET contact accounts are either generally accepted by the
populace and therefore underreported, or are not tracked and remain unaccounted for in most US abduction research. Of course, these numbers would be known to
those whose job it is to know – the same cabal managing ET information and technology.
No Dereliction of Duty
I go so far as to say, again, it would be a complete and total "dereliction of duty" for those who are managing the subject to not be involved in monitoring abductions
and thus monitor the abductees involved. Anything happening to that many people, especially something as covert in nature as ET abductions, would have to be a
matter of national security. So, it should come as no surprise whatsoever to anyone who seriously looks at the abduction subject, the numbers of cases, the nature of
the whole problem with ETs taking people seemingly against their will, and all the forms of complex evidence that goes with this subject, to hear that abductions have
become a matter of national security. Enough to warrant monitoring and surveillance of the participants, and even occasional questioning of those involved!
To this add the justification for a huge black budget expense, a rather convenient one of military technology, and the only questions that should be remaining are why
didn’t the abduction research and/or greater ufology community figure this out earlier? And, why aren’t there even more cases involved? An obvious answer as to why
there aren’t even more cases popping up of RE-AB involvement is that same budget that is justified to a great extent may also be limited to an equal extent. If you are
an abductee with mil/intel involvement, they must really think you have information they want; after all, they’re spending all that money on you. Congratulations, you are
a black project!
From my research, there are four predominate categories of information the covert-ops cabal wants as reported from the RE-AB experiences. They are the ETs’
motives and agenda, ET and abductee genetics, ET and abductee psi abilities, and ET technology and its operation.
In the covert-ops cabal’s efforts to get their hands on ET technology they gather and reverse-engineer craft, and just like they gather craft, they also gather and reverse-
engineer abductees. It appears they are doing this for the exact same reasons: the development of advanced programs and technologies, back-engineering of ET
craft, information on the ETs themselves, and control over every aspect of these issues. I have deduced their push for technology may exist for the following three
reasons:
abductees, know regarding the ETs, their motives, and what we know about ET technology. Hence, moving forward, I can’t help but feel a redefinition is needed. In
the past, I attempted to explain it with my original definition (“covert intelligence and paramilitary re-abduction….”), that is until I was interviewed by radio host Tim
