Researchers found that ufos  no worse than other people on tests of psychological health intelligence and fantasy proneness. They appeared to be very Normal said study co author Patricia Cross of Carlton University in Ottawa Canada. Many of their reports May just be mis interpretations of unfamiliar sights or experiences influenced by a prior belief i visits by space aliens she said. Cross a psychology graduate student who did the study As her master s thesis reports the work with psychologist Nicho Las Spanos and others at Carleton in the november Issue of the journal of Abnor Mal psychology. Our findings clearly contradict the previously held notions that people who seemingly had bizarre experiences such As missing time and communicating with aliens have wild imaginations and Are easily swayed into believing the unbelievable the study said. The study included 49 adults who said they had seen ufos 39 members of the general Public and 74"-introductory, psychology students. Eighteen of the ufos spotters said they had simply seen something in the sky. The other 31 reported a More in tense experience. For example 10 said they had seen a spacecraft close up 10 said they had spotted an alien seven re ported verbal Contact with aliens and eight cited telepathic Contact. Seven re called total body paralysis and eight said time was inexplicably lost. Two said the were taken up in a spaceship. As a whole the ufos spotters were More Ijeh than other study participants to report belief in visits from space aliens. It was unclear whether that belief preceded or followed their ufos experiences although some evidence suggests it came before researchers said. Most ufos experiences occurred a night when darkness and sleepiness might have made unusual Distant sights hard to interpret researchers said. Person who believed in alien visitation might have considered them sightings of alien spaceships the researchers said. As for those  More Interne experience 60 percent of the experience were associated with sleep suggesting that some were simply dreams the re searchers said nearly a Quarter of people with intense experiences told stories suggesting sleep paralysis a relatively common experience in which one feels awake but cannot move Cross said. The disorder is often accompanied by fear and a sense that an other being is present she said. If a person who believed in alien Visita Tion had that experience you might interpret that experience in arms of those beliefs she said. Cross said people who reported in tense experiences while awake had higher tendencies toward fantasy than the other ufos group did although the were still in the Normal Range. So maybe their ufos reports result from an unusual experience interpreted via belief in alien visitation and embellished by fantasy she said.
