Pat: "How many people have the sense of continuous monitoring?"

Jenny: "Being watched all the time?"

Pat: "Continuous monitoring."

Joan: "I have a very strong feeling."

Whitley: "I do, too."

Pat: "How many people have the sense that there is something involving permanent relocation?"

(Mixed reaction.)

Whitley: "I have persistent images of being in another place. Sometimes it's parklike, sometimes very bright."

Fred: "I do, too. Very bright."

Pat: "What makes us afraid of the change'?'

Joan: "The sense of not being in control."

Pat: "I don't think they have individual DNA. I think they're all pretty much the same.

They're interested m us because we are different. And we value the difference, and our individual freedom. And we feel that when we were abducted, that individual freedom has been taken away, and they don't understand that. They don't really understand our sense of freedom and being allowed our own will."

Sam: "They were almost like under military discipline.'

Whitley: "That was my impression."

Sam: "They had instructions and they followed their instructions, and that was it."

Whitley: "Do you suppose we see robots?"

Sam: "I thought of that."

Mark: "Fanatic, or just disciplined?"

Sam: "Disciplined."

Jenny: "That's right, I remember them all walking the same way."

Sally: "Moving in unison, speaking in unison?" (Unified movement is often reported, such as three individuals walking in lockstep.)

Joan: "I can imagine something above them that's speaking through them. They're to do their job."

Jenny: "You don't feel any personality —"

Whitley: "And yet at times I feel incredible personality. She's the strongest personality in my life."

Jenny: "Oh, I feel that way tool I el a personality but I don't know where it comes from.

When I try to picture there, they are one sort of thing, going. But there's this sort of force —"

Pat: "One that cares a great deal."

Fred: "There is one, at least in my case, that I can identify that had that force of personality. He was directing the whole operation. Everything. The others were simply not even taking orders. It's not that an order was barked at them or said to them. They just —boom, boom, boom, did it. I felt like I was even superior to them. I felt like slapping one of them. There was always one you felt comfort under, security under."

Jenny: "Like he was part of me. In me."

Mary: "There's a little part of him in me all the time."

Sally: "One did try to comfort me but I refused it. I didn't want to buy any of it. Actually, what my feeling was, I felt that if I looked at him, I was — sort of like looking at the person who robs you. Someone comes up and he has a mask on and if you take down the mask, uh-oh, you're going to be killed now. You've identified him. So I didn't want to look at him. I didn't want to believe it and I didn't want to become a part of it. I felt if I removed myself I would be safe. I won't look at you, I won't identify you, I won't tell anyone what you look like. So I dust said, 'I won't look at you.' That was just my feeling. If I could identify him my life would be in danger." (Note: Sally's experience involves seeing not only visitors but seeming humans involved with them. It is these people that she apparently did not wish to recognize.)
