My research project has been quite the roller coaster ride to this point. It started off great, with the toughest part being my having to choose between three topics—all of which interested me. I choose the subject of UFO’s and was off to the races. The research paper seemed to almost be writing itself, as the subject is one that peaks such an interest within me. But this became a problem as I became overloaded with the vast amount of material the subject contains. I have since narrowed my focus to the point that I am ready to really put it all together.

I need to find a way to work in the vast amount of content that I have collected pertaining to the phenomenon of alien abduction experiences. I have siphoned through about 10 different psychological studies on the victims of alien abduction. My paper is by no means a finished product, it is definitely a work in progress—hopefully a work of art. I wish that I was to the point of putting a finishing coat on it, but I am more at the point of scrapping off the old paint so the primer will stick.

I will find an angle that links; UFO’s, governmental knowledge of them, and alien abduction experiences. I believe I will accomplish this by pointing out various things about alien abduction experiences which lead one to the conclusion that there is more to the phenomenon than just a bunch of crazies making stuff up. I believe the phenomenon is actually a perfect mix of psychological disorders that form the perfect storm that leaves it victims with tangible experiences. I believe this will soften my audience and put them into the right mindset, which will allow my theory that UFO’s are also more than just a bunch of crazies making stuff up, to be given credence.
