 It took me too long to write this note. I wanted to do it sooner and I regret I have done it only now. Some memories quickly fade away, inside me. Of this account a video recording of the conscious regression does exist. Once and if I will obtain it, I will surely have a more precise recall of the abduction experience. Psychotherapist Ruth Hover performed the regression about four months ago. I totally trust Dr. Ruth, an extraordinary woman who for decades, has dealt with the abduction phenomena and has helped hundreds to cope with the situation and overcome their fear. My experience occurred in Italy in an undefined night of September 1999.  Few people came to know it back then. First, my second wife Wendy d’Olive, and Cristoforo Barbato, both working in the magazine “Stargate” that I managed and directed. The other person I informed was Corrado Malanga, Chemistry professor at the Pisa University. Malanga and I had already left Cun (National UFO Center of Italy) an organization unable to approach the abduction phenomenon the right way. So, the next morning I informed Malanga by phone and he suggested a hypnotic regression. However, I thought that my experience was closed exactly as I recalled and I declined his invite. I was wrong.

I heard about it and read about it, but I had to see it myself. Sure, they said Roswell is in the middle of nowhere. But when you actually find yourself in the flat, barren New Mexico desert and the only passers-by are tumble weeds, you feel an uncomfortable sensation. What if the engine went down and we all got lost? How far would the UFO knowledge of our car full of tourists get us without food and water? Would anybody whisper a prayer over our unmarked tomb? Thankfully, we did not find out. We actually enjoyed a joyful trip toward a small town that in 1947 was the theatre of the most famous and still highly debated -and denied by the Pentagon – UFO crash of all time. For me, even if I was doomed to have my bones scarred on the desert sands in New Mexico, death would have been sort of a sweet consolation because it would have marked the end of my UFO career where “it” all began.

As you may know, I’m originally from Italy and I suffer from a disorder that I call the “gladiator syndrome.” In Ridley Scott’s movie, the Gladiator’s Master, Oliver Reed chose magniloquent words to describe the glorious ways they were going to die for the bloodthirsty Roman people – honoring the then-capital of the known world with the pride of being a slave, ready to die and finally free themselves from the chains. Today, Rome is a significant example of a melting pot where 6 millions of  of people fight their way to a better life, just as they crowd the perennial amphitheatre. Roswell does not have a Colosseum like Rome, not even a mini replica that you would find in Las Vegas. Roswell has only the Main Street, but it does have a museum (the International UFO Museum and Research Center) that for me is the inner sanctum of the entire history of the UFO phenomenon – and a must-see for everyone. The city itself offers no grandeur, no multicolored lights on an almost-anonymous boulevard. But there are lots of people, nice people who come from so many different continents and distant parts of the United States. Continua a leggere »

Mary Rodwell, author of Awakening, is the principal of ACERN (Australian Close Encounter Resource Network) and she is currently working with 1600 abductees from all over the world.

Passionate and fast talking, famous Australian hypnotherapist and abduction researcher Mary Rodwell, gave to me this startling interview at the 2010 International UFO Congress in Laughlin, Nevada. Rodwell’s vision is that aliens are upgrading – not enslaving – humankind through an evolutionary process of hybridization.

Maurizio Baiata: In the light of the many years you have devoted to the abduction phenomenon research, can we say that these still inexplicable experiences need to be studied today on a new perspective that transcends our physical reality?

Mary Rodwell: You mean to expand the strong energy of the experience to other, non-physical realms…

M.B.: Yes, towards new dimensions to explore, especially if there might be a connection between alien contacts and paranormal phenomena such as OBE (Out of Body Experiences,) and NDE (Near Death Experiences).

M.R.: Absolutely. Is the non-physical realm… which is where I go, as well. I honestly believe that the thing with contact is like a catalyst to waking us up. The same way as Near Death Experiences are a catalyst to waking us up to the fact that we are multidimensional. It may be a near death experience for one, it may be a contact for somebody else, it may be for someone else huge grief experiences, that catapult him into acknowledging and experiencing other dimensions, other realms. Depending what the soul chooses, I believe, before the subject comes to terms with the situation.

M.B.: So, how you determine that “soul” decides the way to take? Continua a leggere »
