I don't think you misinterpreted.

I think you interpreted that correctly.

it does read like that the analysts who are going over this thought yeah we we're probably in for another another cycle but they don't explain why that's the frustrating part of that document

I think you're moving into a very interesting theory that I probably agree with, which is simply that it's possible that, and it would make sense, that any visiting intelligence, let's say they just arrived in large numbers in the 1940s.

I know many people argue, well, they, whoever they happen to be, they've been here forever.

i don't know who the they is that's been here forever i do know that the quantity of of genuine and good sightings has gone you know um to orders of magnitude greater since since the 1940s that's undeniable to me there's some good sightings prior to that but it really just goes crazy uh during and after the world war ii period so it would it would imply that let's say there's an intelligence that recently arrived

that they're going through a series of protocols and processes that might have included abductions at certain periods.

And now, as you say, maybe they're done with that and they're moving on to different protocols.

That's not impossible.

However, I would say this.

The reason when people say abductions aren't happening more, I'm dubious about that.

I don't really know if I believe that.

You know, abductions could well have been happening in large amounts back in the 1940s and 50s, but no one was paying attention.

No one was studying it.

We went through a period where there were several researchers who really threw themselves into the abduction phenomenon.

Bud Hopkins and David Jacobs and John Mack, those were the big three.

They wrote books.

They wrote very good books that were great reading.

And the subject got a lot of attention.

There's, you know, other abduction researchers who also write some books, but they haven't really gotten anywhere near the same amount of attention.
