Making you think
I was watching this documentary and it made me flip out a bit, seeing into perspective. Most of you don't know, but I had a silly phobia of alien abduction when I was a kid.
[ETA2: I sounded stupid, so I bahleeted the point of the post.]
[ETA3: I could find the stupid thing again by hitting the back button. Here it is, but don't take it seriously.]
Here's the story.
Imagine this individual. They have a rather average life for their kind, and do the obvious routine every day -except for some times of the year, I guess, like most of us. They're healthy and normal, probably even happy.
One day, a strange creature, tall and thin and wearing a weird suit, approaches them in daylight. The monster takes them by the back, and drags them to his ship. Then, he grabs the guy (or girl?) by the feet and pushes them up.
Now that the guy is in the alien ship, probably scared to death and wondering if they'll get killed. The monster and his colleages take their tools. They measure our friend and take samples with needles, practically by force (maybe they were nice and tried to comfort the guy, but it's hard when you look so menacing and speak in a weird tongue they don't understand).
Then they attach an ugly-looking machine, not exactly small, on the guy's back. The monsters just wanted to make experiments and then track the poor guy for some months. Then the creatures release them slowly, and our friend can get the fuck away from them. They're safe and unharmed, kinda. However, the trauma and the stupid device on its back will never leave them. They're now a freak.
Guys, this isn't a story about extraterrestrials. I'm talking about a sea turtle. Really, the tracker was HUGE and had a fucking antenna, and the shell looked like a tank now.
This kinda makes the UFO tabloid stories more real, seeing by this point of view. Yeah, I have a high school diplomma on Science, and I liked biology a lot. But now I'm kind of shaken and don't know what to think anymore. Can wild animals be traumatised by these kind of experiences? Even if they had sedated the turtle in the middle of the process, which probably happened, the guy must've had a fright anyway.
ETA: So that's why I liked The Killers' "Bones" video that much. It was directed by Tim Burton OMG! Of course, man. Skeletons.

But I don't need controversies while I have to study
and am not because I'm easily distracted.
