At the Stargate Conference, Anne Strieber told how people who have had contact with seeming “aliens” usually describe their experiences in strange, almost surrealistic terms. This one of the things that separates real contact from created contact stories, but it is also one of the primary reasons that these people’s stories are doubted by skeptics.

Physorg.com quotes researcher Travis Proulx as saying, “The idea is that when you’re exposed to a meaning threat, something that fundamentally does not make sense, your brain is going to respond by looking for some other kind of structure within your environment.” In other words, it exercises your brain by forcing you to put the pieces together. This type of experience may cause our brains to see patterns we would otherwise miss, not only in math, but in the world at large.
