They are literally everywhere we look, and as evidenced by the continued efforts of researchers like Budd Hopkins, even the less-pleasant elements of the UFO mystery remain consistent with us today, especially among these the subject of abduction.

At this point, the discussion could go in two vastly different directions; the first having to do with the known hallucinogenic effects drugs like DMT have on their users, which brings to mind specifically the research of Dr. Rick Strassman, a proffessor with the University of New Mexico. In his experiements, individuals would drink water mixed with small amounts of DMT and remain in controlled environments where the effects of their “trip” were
