Are Alien Abductions Simply the Result of Lucid Dreams?
Could some alien abduction encounters actually be lucid dreams? The latest research on the phenomenon in a new report out of Russia hints at just that. Researchers at The Phase Research Center in Russia sought to find out in a new study recently published in the International Journal of Dream Research.
A lucid dream is a dream where the person knows they are dreaming while they are still in the dream. In the study, 152 volunteers of experienced lucid dreamers were prompted to experience aliens and UFOs in their lucid dreams—of those, 75 percent had alien and UFO encounters in a lucid dream, 61 percent said they had encountered alien-like creatures, and 28 percent said they encountered UFOs.
For the lead researcher and founder of The Phase Research Center, Michael Raduga, there was a personal connection to this study.
“It happened more than 20 years ago, I believed I experienced a typical alien abduction story; I was abducted,” he said. “It happened upon awaking, with sleep paralysis, with a lot of fear, levitating, and so on. And I believed in this for two years, but then I started to practice lucid dreams and out-of-body travels, and it helped me to understand that all the time I was experiencing the same thing.”

Is Rh-Negative Blood Alien In Origin?
Is Rh-Negative Blood Type Alien in Origin?
As humans, we believe we evolved from apes, and the Rh factor in our blood even derives its name from the Rhesus Macaque. But when it comes to the antigens in our blood, there’s a small percentage of the population with a strange anomaly, leading some to question if Rh-negative blood is alien in origin.
History of Rh-Negative Blood
Discovered in 1940 by Dr. Karl Landsteiner and Alexander S. Wiener, the Rh factor, named after the Rhesus monkey, is a protein present on the surface of red blood cells. Blood that lacks this protein is classified as Rhesus-negative or Rh-negative.
There are 35 blood group systems organized by our genetic structure, each producing specific antigens—molecules that trigger immune responses. In the Rh system, there are 61 antigens, with the D antigen determining whether blood is Rh-positive or Rh-negative. This sensitive protein can react negatively if it encounters Rh-positive blood.
When an Rh-negative woman is pregnant with an Rh-positive baby, her body may see the fetus as a foreign threat and produce antibodies that attack it, leading to a condition called hemolytic disease. Fortunately, Rh-D immunoglobulin can prevent this reaction, ensuring the safety of both mother and baby.
Rh-negative blood plays a crucial role in blood transfusions and maternal-fetal health, underscoring its importance in understanding Rh blood groups and human genetics.
