saw a hybrid fetus aborted from a woman’s womb, “and thrust into a waiting tank of liquid close by. It was at this time I learned these gray beings were called ‘Watchers’: caretakers of nature and all natural form. They informed me the reason they’d been collecting seed and fetuses was because man would eventually become sterile.” She would later have encounters with “beautiful, pale blue–eyed extraterrestrials” which she called the Elders, who were apparently in charge of the Watchers, which were their work force, and which loved the human race.
The abductors’ identification of “The Watchers,” as Fowler noted, meant that these were the same supernatural or extraterrestrial beings encountered in numerous legends, as wellas the Bible. The Chaldeans referred to the Watchers as “Ir.” The Egyptian word neter means Watcher. And in the Bible, in Genesis 6:1–4, they are listed as the sons of Gods who “fell” for the Earthly women, descended from heaven, chose women, and had children.
Gregory Little was most impressed with Andreasson’s revelations and made a study of the Book of Enoch, an ancient Jewish religious work, ascribed to Enoch, the great-grandfather of Noah, currently part of the Bible. The Book of Enoch goes into some depth about the interactions humankind had with these Watchers. Little observed that the Book of Enoch noted that there were Watchers present both at the gates of Heaven and Hell—mimicking the Egyptian neters, who also guarded the gates of Heaven and Hell in the Egyptian Afterlife. Interestingly, the guardians of Sheol—Hell—were described as beings “gray of color, small as children, with a shape that is somewhat similar to the human form.” Little observed that this description was not present in the Slavic edition of the book (the most commonly used), but was present in the Hebrew version and was a very good description of “the grays” of UFO abduction lore. Furthermore, Andreasson had described how the Watchers guarded a door. Under hypnosis, she stated how she was shown a “Great Door” and how she was led toward it. The door was an entrance to another world, one of light, of “home,” which she also described as the abode of “The One God,” whom she met—though at this point she was unwilling to give further details.
Did the Christian Andreasson confabulate stories she might have heard in her childhood and weave them into her claims? Perhaps. But it is clear that she is not the only person who claims to have been abducted. Fowler himself analyzed the Book of Enoch and came upon an intriguing reference on the general UFO abduction phenomenon. In his story, Enoch is home alone, resting in a seat, and falls asleep. Suddenly, he hears talking, though he does not understand what is being said. Two menappear at the end of his feet; they know his name. Enoch wakes up, sees the two men, and is afraid. They tell him not to be afraid, for “you will ascend to Heaven with us.” It is in Heaven that Enoch is brought in front of “the Elders” and the rulers of a “stellar hegemony.” The events described by Enoch are identical to the events reported in standard UFO abductions stories.
True or not, there are important cultural parallels between the story of Enoch and the modern UFO abduction phenomenon. The Watchers materialized on Earth to have children with female women. The UFO abductors are said to materialize on Earth to abduct people, resulting in pregnancies or a general interest in female genetic material. The consequences of these actions were “giants,” to use the Enochian language, or “hybrid babies,” to use UFO terminology.
The parallels are there, but what do they mean? Are they ancient legends, adapted to our modern civilization? Or are they genuine events, written down both in ancient and modern times? Is history repeating itself? Or are we merely still intrigued by the same heroic and thrilling stories of our ancestors?
