Denver Her parents dismissed
curious living discs as part of a
Russian spy mission
"I believe certain people in
certain families are tracked,"
Childs said
John Carpenter, a psvc hialrii
social worker from Springfield.
Mo. said cases like Childs'
aren't uncommon Ho said he
has treated more than HO people
who. under hypnosis, have
revealed details of alien abduc
tions Carpenter said the people
react much the same way they
would to a movie
"They each have different
reactions to the experience." he
said "That's natural human
behavior "
Carpenter and Child*. c;o
director of the Washington state
branch of the Mutual UFO Net
work Inc . were two of the par
tii ipant* at the weekend UF’O

I House Carpenter, one of TRI
AD'S three partners, said JO to
J3 more UrO conferences are
planned within the next year
She said group would like to
oven ome common stereotypes
associated with unexplained
phenomena
"We think it's important to
bring the scientific community
together with the public." she
said. "This is not a Trekkie con
vention These are intelligent
people asking intelligent ques
tions."
Conference organizers expect
ed about 300 participants. They
said about 300 had registered by
about mid-day Saturday
Some who attended the first
<tm were impressed. Others
remained unconvinced that
extraterrestrial txongs visit earth
'I think it's all open to
debate " said one Seattle
woman If anybody renlh
knows we wouldn't be having
these conferences "
The woman w ished to remain
unidentified ''I'm an educator,
and if anyone knew 1 was here
she said with a roll of the
eyes.
Ocean Shore residents Kutli
and Dave Sharp were happy to
he at the conference.
"1 think it's just tlie most
exciting thing," Kntfi said.
Most people look at people
who have an interest in IJFOs ns
kooky, hut I think it's one of the
most important scientific issues
facing us."
John Carpenter said lie has
documented studies of multiple
abductions, where more than
one person is involved. Under
hypnosis, the people relate the
same story, detail for detail.
These aren't people looking to
gain attention, he said.
"They don't show up saying
they were abducted by aliens.
They just want to know why
they can't sleep and why they
continue to have panic attacks."
