Post 3: ufo abductions and projective testing

This article is about people in the world who believe that they have experienced an alien abduction or just believe in the idea. This is a very skeptical topic. Sometimes, I do believe there are aliens out there. Other times I do not. But, the idea of people seeing them is slightly off to me. It was interesting to read and watch videos about these people as well. A fact I learned is that if one believes in aliens they often believe in a lot of fantasy like stories. The second half of the lecture is about projective testing. This is where people are tested on things based off of what they are drawing or seeing. It is a personality test which is supposed to reveal unseen things. I do not feel like this is a strong reliable source but it is very interesting.

Inkblot (Rorschach) and TAT (Thematic Apperception Tests ...  UFO believers got one thing right. Here's what they get wrong.

  1. I saw that you wrote that you believe aliens exist sometimes and other time you don't, but what evidence is there for you to believe that?
