"If I'm able to only leave you with that one message - that we are being deceived in many ways by these interactions (with a non-human intelligence) - then I'm gonna be happy with my work today." ~Dr. Karla Turner (KT) "The nature of these entities and their intentions IS the big question. I believe we are still in a state of ignorance because the entities deliberately deceive us in their interactions with us. This is the number one fact that's emerged from my research in this field." ~KT ~ Dr. Karla Turner's Final Lecture May 7, 1995 Location: Quality Resort, Mission Valley, San Diego, California Topic: "UFO and Alien Masquerade" (focused on the complexities and implications of the alien-human abduction phenomenon) ~❤️ KT is REALLY missed in this field ❤️~ KT: "I'm talking about abductors, not any other group or agency or entities that may be interacting with us. I'm talking about those who abduct. So please don't take what I have to say as a blanket statement about all the possible entities that we may be interacting with." (And I would say: We don't know how many different intelligences (non-human, or presenting themselves as such) we're interacting with. It may be one, but it could be twenty, or more. I don't know. And just because we may have cadavers of different types (reptilian-like, mantis-like, grays, nordics), that doesn't mean they're four different species. They may all originate from the same intelligence if said intelligence has the ability to create different forms of itself and maybe infuse them with artificial intelligence.) KT: "For 50 years, we've had experts and scientists measuring trajectories of flights of unidentified craft, examining landing traces and artifacts, doing analysis on the photos and the radar. And every single test that could be run from a scientific point of view has been pursued in this field for 50 years. And yet, today, half a century later, we don't have a single reliable answer to the basic questions: Who are they? Where do they come from? And why are they here? "Which tells us something about the scientific approach. It also tells us something about the nature of this phenomenon. So far, in fact, all we've really done is come up with a lot of complex theories and a lot of labels for a phenomenon that we don't clearly understand. We have labels ranging on the one side, one extreme, to our wonderful space brothers here to save us, all the way to the invading aliens here to use us, and every level in between. "And we still have the same questions we started with: Are they friendly? Are they angelic? Are they demonic? Are they curious? Are they aggressive? What are they? The fact is that the nature of these entities and their intentions IS the big question. All the other questions are secondary to that, in my opinion. Because without an understanding of who they are and what they want, we humans have no idea of what proper response we should be making. I think we can agree on that. "When we act in ignorance, we do not know if we're acting properly or not. "So why is it that after all this time, we still disagree so radically about the nature of the UFO phenomena and the occupants of these craft? Why is that? And, in my opinion, it is because after half a century, we are still ignorant of the very basics of the field. And why are we ignorant? Why do we know no more than we know already at this point? "And I'm here to tell you, from my research and my own experiences, that I believe we are still in a state of ignorance because the entities deliberately deceive us in their interactions with us. This is the number one fact that's emerged from my research in this field. And if I'm able to only leave you with that one message - that we are being deceived in many ways by these interactions - then I'm gonna be happy with my work today. "Because of this essential deception, especially when it comes to human/alien contact and interaction, the cold-hard truth is that abductees and contactees report alien-controlled information when they report about their conscious memories. And often, even when they report what they retrieve through hypnotic-regression work." (In other words: KT was saying that the NHI control what experiencers see and perceive, so you can't trust it as being the truth. You just had an encounter with two human-looking beings? That may just be a screen memory or "them" making you see that. In reality, it may have been something else completely different. And KT thinks that's the case for conscious memories and memories retrieved via hypnosis. Again, don't trust the information as fact.) ~ KT: "There is no such thing as face value when it comes to the non-human entities that are interacting with us here. "And that's a cherished notion that's hard for people to give up. I know it was hard for me once I was aware of what was going on with my family, but the research has left me no choice. And I'm gonna share some of the findings with you here that have led me to this date, to this position."
