Just a quick post to all. I'm sure this may upset some X-ians, but then again they are just one of the three blind men trying to describe the elephant.
Ever wonder how the images of Santa Claus and Satan are so similar and how deeply rooted in our culture they are. it is nothing other, I believe than a species memory kept alive to remind us that the planet is indeed hollow and that at one point we were in contact with the inhabitants.
Take Satan, a being dressed in red living in "Hell", which is no less than the interior of Earth. Albeit the "Hell" label is meant to scare us at an early age, and end all interest or inquiry into the matter. Yet at the same time you have "science" who comes to the rescue and says, "fear not young one, the Earth is really solid, so do not believe all the hell mumbo-jumbo." As such Satan exists in a "non-existant" area of the hollow earth called hell, and exists to punish humans for their deeds.
Santa on the other hand is a being dressed in red living in the "north pole," another "non-existant" place, but kids take it all at face value. He represents a being who rewards humanity for their deeds. He flies down from the North Pole entering peoples houses leaving his gifts. Now if that isn't indicative of certain alien abduction scenarios, than I don't know what is.
Now I'm not necessarily saying that abduction are connected to the HE or anything, I'm just saying how similar these scenarios appear, and how it seems to be a very similar cultural phenomenon.
One need only look at Scandinavian mythology to find other preservations of HE memories. Take the Yggdrisil tree for example. And anyone familiar with Zechariah Sitchin's work too, can see how certain things might be indicative of a HE.
