Whatever happened to alien anal probes?

People, people, people,

It has been established that the aliens have moved on to cowanuses, didn’t you get the memo?

I feel we can put this question behind us.

Actually, the only account I know of was Whitley Strieber’s. He still goes on about how the horrible Phil Donahue made a big deal about mocking it to the point where it became a cultural meme. Betty Hill said she got probed/injected through the navel. If anal probes show up anywhere else in the literature, I would bet it’s post-COMMUNION (Strieber’s first book on the subject) and are copycat reports.

Perhaps part of the reason you don’t hear about it anymore is that anal sex is all over the place in pornography (ummm, so I hear). It’s just not that esoteric anymore.

I doubt I will have to explain why I now have a mental picture of rednecks being chased around the woods at 2X speed by aliens carrying anal probes, all to the tune of Yakety Sax.

They’ve coded anal probing technology into padded toilet paper. The Charmin’ Teddy Bear is actually the alien overseer of the the project.

I understand that the Japanese market in used probes collapsed in1997, causing widespread unemployment in the Grey community.

Why don’t you just turn the other cheek?

They moved on to cattle anus’ and simply remove the whole thing and take it with them.

When I was active in those threads my custom title was ‘cattle mutilation expert’, and I alluded to it on a couple of occasions, as in “note my title and treat my opinion as gospel”.

Now when I go back and look, my title still there, but it says “Woo woo”, so the part where it says “note my title and treat my opinion as gospel” still makes sense.

I love this title thing.

Did you go to a special house, or answer an ad in The Village Voice, or what?

It’s a bum rap!

It became cool to be gay so there was no need for alternate explinations of anal sex :smiley:

Dammit Jim, I’m a proctologist, not a homosexual!

Someone in the government knows exactly why the anal probes have stopped, but they’re sitting on it.

Win.

They’ve switched to probing mouths. Let’s hope they washed the probes.

They collected all the data and now they’re into alien anal scrapbooking.

The new generation of Greys is just not into it anymore, they regard it as their father’s pastime, just wait until it becomes “retro” and the grandchildren of the original probers descend upon us like locusts.

Carl Sagan’s The Demon-Haunted World has an excellent chapter on the subject. “Aliens From Spaceships Performing Anogenital Experiments On Us” is nothing more than the current version of a dream that people have been experiencing for hundreds of years.
