chapter xc: keep watching the skies!
part iii: for art's sake
 
Ingebeeld Neef has begun what promises to be an exhaustive survey into the extraordinary claims made by seemingly ordinary people in the Old Country, of being abducted and brought against their will aboard alien spacecraft, often from their very beds as they slept. His primary focus for now is not on the "truth" of the claims, but on the extraordinary artworks the abductees have created about their experiences. 

"The subjects all appears influences becomes is through their experiences deep, and many resort to Art if words fail, to express their feelings over the incidents.

"Here is a prodigious painting does through an of the petitioners, the allegations that the aliens have him has taken as well as television, different appliances and sports-equipment of his house, and has them sucks all upward through wires the antenna and on upward into the alien ship."

Once aboard, the humans are alternately experimented on, and bonded with, the aliens. The creator of the following ink wash drawing became particularly close to his abductor, which he always referred to as "Ann".
"Although details differ, the petitioners all agree is, that the aliens even, friendly expressions have however with unnerves big blank, staring eyes.  Your heads look too big for their bodies, that appears, beautiful thin, but in reality the prodigious strength has."

Unlike abductees from other countries, whose abductors seemed mostly interested in either medical experiments or in breeding with the humans, Neef reports that the aliens who picked up his countrymen seemed desperately anxious, for some reason, to help the people become more intelligent.
"The aliens give often the persons, puts of cards with odd symbols on them. You claim, that the persons now educated becomes through item and watches them, but the petitioners never can itself any details of what at remembers, so that they were taught."
