As the controversy rages on about whether abducting aliens are “space brothers” here to raise our consciousness or whether they are exploitative predators, one aspect of abduction that recurs in many hypnotic regression sessions is the ability of aliens to create hallucinations that are so realistic that the savviest of abductees cannot tell what is real and what is illusion. In the first book by Ed and Frances Walters ( The Gulf Breeze Sightings ), Ed mentioned that twice the aliens, in their initial contacts, sent him a series of visions in his head. The first was of all kinds of dogs. Later it was naked women, all ages, races, and shapes. During the regression years with hypnotist Dr. Dan Overlade, (as described in the second book by Ed and Frances, ( UFO Abductions in Gulf Breeze ), Ed recalled their last attempt on May 1, 1988, to drag him onto the craft.

In the 1980s, these sightings were oft in the news, dividing the UFO community into pro- or anti-Ed Walters story.
