Mystery Black Boxes (2)

In one case, a group of survey workers in Brazil had an experience with three seven-foot tall aliens who drew a star chart indicating Uranus as their home world. The aliens wore translucent suits equipped with metal-like boxes.

In Mexico, a witness talked with two aliens, outfitted similarly with helmets, belts and small, black shiny boxes on their backs. It seems that at least some aliens need almost as much protection against us as we do from them.

In other encounter reports, certain aliens employed a "Mindscan" technique, presumably to read the thoughts of humans or control their actions. This procedure was described at length by Dr. David Jacobs in Secret Life. In Mindscan, an alien "leader" will often use its huge, hypnotic eyes to mind-meld so to speak, with humans to retrieve memories or to plant a post-hypnotic suggestion to forget the experience. But other aliens, as well as ' men in black"- strange humans or humanoids who often claim to work for government agencies- seem to require technology to manipulate the minds of humans, for good or evil.
