Raymond A. Fowler, in ‘THE ANDREASSON AFFAIR’ gives an extensive description of an abduction experience of one woman who was taken by the “Gray-type” aliens and later returned to her house. These creatures, according to Fowler and Andreasson, had the ability to travel between stars but her account seems to suggest that their ORIGINAL point of origin is within a cavernous subterranean realm.
For instance, here are some quotes given by Betty Andreasson concerning her abduction:
- “(The aliens had) Large, wraparound... eyes (which) stood in stark contrast to less prominent facial features: holes for noses and ears, and fixed, scarlike mouths. They wore shiny dark blue, form-fitting uniforms... Their three-digit (reptilian?) hands were GLOVED.” The creatures seemed claylike, “...They’re scary,” Betty said, “I don’t see any hair... (their heads were like) an upside-down pear... I didn’t even see a nose.” She described an “eye slit” and said that the creatures took her from her house and into some type of craft. After a while the craft apparently connected to some type of dock somewhere on or below the earth, beyond which was a tunnel. She was put into an enclosed chair-like transparent container which filled with some kind of fluid, and was then taken through a “...subway tunnel... it’s like a track we’re going on... walking, gliding - or something.”
- She said that her willpower seemed mesmerized by powerful influences beyond her ken. “We would pass other tunnel openings. I could tell that there were other tunnels there... passed out of the tunnel into a place where the atmosphere was a vibrating red color... like infrared light... there are buildings - square buildings with openings... In the red part... there wasn’t any vegetable life... we are coming to where there are some beings! And they’ve skinny arms and legs and kind of a full body. And their eyes can move every which way, and they can climb just like monkeys. They climb up quickly and swiftly and down and around and in and out of windows. They are all over the place!”
- Betty and the two alien creatures that abducted her approached a circular membrane and passed through it without resistance into a place with a greenish atmosphere. She looked down upon strange plants, a mist-enshrouded sea, and a distant complex of buildings. The sheer vastness of the alien realm overwhelmed her senses. The place reminded her of “some legendary underground kingdom.” She continued, “There’s a lot of different stuff I’m seeing... plants are different. It’s like, uh - long stems that come out in loops and the different colors. But they are green! Other similar elevated tracks (like the one she was on) criss-crossed the area.” They stopped to let something go by. Betty just watched, dumbfounded. Later she found nothing in her vocabulary to describe it... “I don’t know what it is! It is something like - I can’t ever explain it... I’m seeing a pyramid - it has one big flat side and the others indent, sort of. We are going over it, high in the ‘sky’... There were (high buildings) like, you know, a lot of science fiction. Big cities with all these different bridges all around... I don’t remember seeing any activity. It was too far away. That was way over to the side there, way over to the side. The pyramid was closer than that... When we reached the destination, we went through the black tunnel (following which she was taken through some type of occult ritual in which she had a vision of a ‘Phoenix’ bird which was consumed in fire and then emerged from the ashes in the form of a worm which began to grow slowly into the ‘bird’ shape.
- Mr. Fowler suggested that this may have been a feigned ‘religious experience’ orchestrated by the aliens in order to play on her emotions and gain Betty’s assistance)... “They seemed long,” speaking of the tunnel which she was taken through. After the occult “initiation” or ritual she was taken back the way she came, “It felt like pressure or something on my head,” speaking of the strange force which glued her to the escalator-walk contrivance, “My head was hurting and heavy from it, whatever it was... I COULD HAVE BEEN INSIDE THE EARTH... SOMEHOW I BELIEVE WE WERE IN THE CENTER OF THE EARTH.” She retraced with the two alien kidnappers the way back through the greenish cavern where the mist-covered sea was located, “the sea was off to the side, and there was mist, and then it had that narrow land and it did finally go onto some kind of surface and was going up... It (the underground sea) seemed very dark, but it was green - very, very dark. It was choppy. After it had cleared, it looked smooth, sort of smooth glass... I’m going back on that thing (the track), and, ah, I’m stopping...” The two creatures retraced their original path via the ‘black’ track they had traveled on earlier.
- Betty began speculating out loud concerning the heaviness that she felt in her legs. It seemed as if the force that kept Betty glued to a position just above the track was also responsible for causing her severe physical discomfort. “I think maybe why my feet are like that - I must be, uh, glued to that thing, because there are no railings and there’s nothing holding me in. And I’m just gliding along that thing, and it’s not very wide... And that green and blue-colored atmosphere, it’s just beautiful (the underground land was very beautiful in some parts, but the alien creatures themselves which had apparently taken control of these areas at some time in the past were described by Betty as being frightening-looking)... The green atmosphere was the sky, and then it was also blue... and green and blue were mixed. It was bright, bright green - emerald green - and then it was like blue... I don’t remember any shadows.” She also claimed to have seen some crystalline structures, as well as the pyramid structure once again, “there’s that pyramid again. Ah, it has the white on the edges. And that (sculptured) head and those bridges, or something or other. I don’t know. There was - uh, there was water that was very choppy when I was going, like a big sea. There was land, but it was, if you call it a horizon, it was like there was mist all around... I saw the color of the - fish, bird fish... Off to the side there is some kind of - something like a city or something. I don’t know what it is. It is too different than I’ve ever seen before. I just can’t explain it... And we are still going through that red atmosphere.
- We’re coming to the circle again. And it’s like a mirror. We’re going through something like a mirror.” In an instant, they were plunged into darkness. Once again, Betty glided along the dark rock-hewn tunnel, “And we are going along this dark tunnel and, uh, we’re just gliding along. And just keep going and going and going, it seems like. We are in there a long time, it feels like... They (the aliens) have powers. THEY CAN MAKE YOU THINK ONE THING AND YET MEAN ANOTHER. I DON’T LIKE THEM CONTROLLING MY WORDS!” Betty said during one “regressive hypnosis” session DURING WHICH time an alien force began taking control of her mind and spoke through her in a mechanical voice. During this session she said: “They have powers. They can control the wind, the water and even lightning... They are (using me), and I don’t know how they’re doing it... They travel freely. They travel freely throughout the whole earth.” When she was asked by one therapist if they traveled INSIDE the earth, Betty replied, “Since the beginning of time... some come from realms where you cannot see their hiding place. Some come from the very earth... there is a place on this very earth that you don’t know of.”
- In ‘THE ANDREASSON AFFAIR, PHASE II’ (Prentice-Hall, Englewood Cliffs, NJ., 1982., 278 pp. ch. 6-8) Mr. Fowler reveals even more connections between Betty Andreasson’s abduction by the “Gray” manipulators and a subterranean cavern region. Apparently, as in the case of many abductees, she was being manipulated by the creatures since a young age. One encounter took place at the age of 12 with a small hominoid creature which emerged from a hole in a mountain near Westminster, England. During another abduction experience later in her life she was allegedly taken to huge caverns in which she saw a crystal “museum” or computer containing records of past events, etc., as well as underground mountains, valleys and enormous “icicles”.
