Post 3: UFO Abductions & Projective Testing


                I thought the video of Travis Walton claiming that that he was abducting by aliens was very interesting. He was 22 at the time and his team were driving on the road and saw a very bright light. He claims that he was showing off in front of his friends and approached the light and suddenly became unconscious. He woke up and saw small human like creatures (aliens), and then he found himself in a different area. People organize the recall of past events in a way that makes sense and are consistent with current expectations. When there is little or no correlation between recall accuracy and confidence of recalled events. I also found the inkblot test very fascinating and how psychologist score reactions based on a collection of more than 100 variables.
