This woman researched alien abductions and found that aliens manipulate perception, control consciousness, cause unexplained illnesses and mental decline, and engage in gruesome activities in underground facilities. Her work showed that alien encounters could cause serious physical, emotional, and spiritual harm, making people question what aliens really want.
Dr. Turner was a brave activist for human rights and an investigator of alien abductions. She had a background in Old English studies and used to teach at a college. She wrote three books about alien abductions: Into the Fringe (1992), Taken (1994), and Masquerade of Angels (1994), which she co-wrote with a psychic named Ted Rice. Through her work, she asked important questions about whether aliens were truly friendly.
She started studying alien abductions in 1988. In her books Into the Fringe and Taken, she shared her own experiences and those of others who had been abducted, showing how frightening these events were.
In Masquerade of Angels, she wrote about Ted Rice’s experiences. At first, Rice thought the aliens were good, but he later realized they were dangerous. One disturbing story he told was about seeing his dead grandfather turn into a reptile-like creature who behaved in a threatening way. This event was followed by the sudden death of Rice’s grandmother.
Sadly, Dr. Turner died from breast cancer in 1996. After her death, more of her work was published, including stories about her own family’s encounters with aliens. She also believed that people who were abducted were targeted on purpose, not randomly chosen. Dr. Turner thought the military was secretly involved, targeting people who reported alien experiences.
In her 1995 lecture at the MUFON Convention, Dr. Karla Turner introduced herself as an abductee, using that term because she had been taken and controlled by non-human entities.
She explained that this was a form of alien abduction, something that she and her family had experienced, and she had documented these events in her book Into the Fringe, published in 1992.
Her book focuses on the period between 1987 and 1990, when she and her family became consciously aware of their alien encounters, which had been happening since childhood.
In her view, the nature of alien activity is deliberately designed to prevent humans from collecting solid proof.
According to Dr. Turner, this makes it difficult to feel confident about many of the “facts” in the field. She explained that, based on everything she had learned, there were very few things she felt comfortable calling facts, and that list was very short. Instead of presenting case reports, photos, body markings, or drawings of aliens and spacecraft, as she had done in the past, she chose to take a different approach in this lecture.
Before her death, Dr. Karla frequently spoke at UFO conferences in the United States and other countries, urging people to take action. She claimed that aliens were manipulating our perceptions and spreading disinformation to weaken us and deceive us into thinking they cared about us, when in reality, their intentions were self-serving and disregarded our well-being. Turner emphasized the need to regain control over the situation and confront these aliens.
Dr. Karla Turner listed the fact: We do not know for certain what these entities are. They could be extraterrestrial, interdimensional, or even from Earth, or they might be something we haven’t imagined yet.
She explained that while some abductees have reported the aliens describing themselves as coming from various origins, we cannot verify these statements, so we can only speculate. For convenience, she used the term “alien,” but she didn’t necessarily believe they were from another planet.
The second fact she shared was more critical: she believed that some of the aliens were liars. Over the decades, aliens had made predictions and promises that did not come true.
Dr. Karla emphasized that, based on the historical record of these encounters, very few of these predictions had come true, and none of great significance. She illustrated this with a personal story.
She recounted the experience of a young man named James, whom she had known since he was 11 years old. James had been through a series of intense encounters and abductions, particularly in 1987 and 1988.
One of the entities he frequently encountered described itself as an interdimensional being, claiming to be from the 10th dimension and aware of the 11th. This entity would appear in different forms—sometimes a nebulous shape, sometimes a human woman, or even just parts of her, like her head or hands.
Dr. Karla shared a story about a young man named James. James had met a woman who gave him detailed information about events happening several states away, which he was able to check and found out were completely true. This made him a believer in what the woman told him.
He was an outstanding student, a valedictorian at a prestigious private school, with a bright future ahead. However, the woman warned him that in five years, he would be “turned on” to do a specific job, no matter where he was or what he was doing, and he would know it when it happened.
This warning had a powerful effect on James. Instead of continuing his promising life, he dropped out of college, abandoned his career plans, and stopped caring about personal relationships.
He decided he only had five years left before losing control of his life, so he spent his time partying and making just enough money delivering pizzas to enjoy himself before “they” took him over. In reality, none of the predicted events happened.
Five years later, in August 1993, he and others were still living their normal lives. James’s life, however, had been badly damaged by believing these lies.
Dr. Karla pointed out that the best way to make someone believe a lie is to sandwich it between two truths, which is what the woman did.
She explained that during alien encounters, not only are human perceptions controlled, but so are memories and emotions. Researchers like Budd Hopkins and David Jacobs have talked about “screen memories,” where abductees remember seeing something ordinary—like a deer or a rabbit—when in fact something alien had happened. But Karla said the manipulation went much deeper than just those quick screen images.
She said that during encounters, aliens could control pain, pleasure (including sexual pleasure), and emotions. In every encounter, the abductee is under some level of control, often much more than they realize.
Another important point she made was that false memories could be implanted over real events, making abductees remember things that never actually happened. Even under hypnosis, these implanted memories could sometimes stay in place unless special techniques were used to break through them.
Dr. Karla Turner shared a story about a woman named Joy who had an unusual experience. Joy found herself in a room, much like the lecture hall they were sitting in, standing at a podium.
Joy believed she had a beautiful spiritual experience where she read messages from a strange book to a group of smiling grey aliens, feeling deep love and acceptance.
But under hypnosis, it was revealed that this memory was a false illusion. In reality, she was naked, suspended in a beam of light, and used by aliens for medical examinations and sexual abuse. She cried out to God for help, but none came.
The trauma from this real event deeply changed her life, affecting her faith, her sexuality, and her emotional well-being for the next 20 years, even though she didn’t consciously remember the true event until much later.
Dr. Karla then explained an important point: abductees, even though they report their experiences honestly and sincerely, are actually reporting what the aliens want them to perceive.
What abductees see, feel, and remember is heavily manipulated. She emphasized that while abductees are truthful in their reports, their memories are often filled with illusions, false emotions, and distorted perceptions created by the aliens.
She highlighted that human involvement is also a real part of the abduction phenomenon. Besides alien interactions, many abductees report being monitored and harassed by human agents, such as through helicopter surveillance or military interventions.
Dr. Karla shared that her husband had been abducted and interrogated by a military group in 1988, an event she hadn’t even heard of happening to others at the time and which disturbed her even more than the alien encounters.
Dr. Karla Turner explained that in her book Taken, she included four more accounts of women whose lives had been interfered with by what appeared to be military or human forces, not just aliens.
Although she couldn’t publicly share all the hard evidence because of confidentiality, she was convinced by the information they had — names, dates, places, and military bases were all documented. She emphasized that it was not just an alien trick; it was very real.
She went on to say that whatever the alien abduction agenda really is, it clearly involves very physical actions and procedures. These actions suggest the aliens’ goals are not purely spiritual. Much of what happens during abductions seems to go far beyond just creating hybrid babies.
She pointed out that if aliens were only interested in breeding hybrids, then people would have to explain why there are so many other strange procedures being done.
For example, implants are inserted into many parts of the body — the brain, ears, neck, spine, legs, hips, and even, in one notable case, into a man’s penis. Some implants have been seen on x-rays, CAT scans, and MRIs, while others do not show up at all. A few implants have been physically removed, but according to Karla, no tests have yet revealed what they really are or what they do inside the human body.
She also described other disturbing procedures like the insertion of wires and tubes into people’s chests, kidneys, ovaries, knees, and feet. Aliens have been reported taking bodily fluids and injecting unknown substances into different parts of the body. Brain surgeries were also frequently reported by abductees, with many saying it felt like their heads were opened and their brains removed.
Dr. Karla talked about deliberate pain experiments where abductees were tortured to study their reactions, and possibly even for the aliens’ amusement.
She mentioned bizarre procedures, such as abductees being immersed in liquid and forced to breathe it, a method now often mentioned by other researchers like Budd Hopkins and David Jacobs.
Dr. Karla questioned what breathing liquid had to do with crossbreeding. She also described cases where abductees were forced to drink or eat unknown substances that had strange effects, like making them passive or hypnotized. One woman, Angie, was given a bitter red liquid that made her pass out, after which she was interrogated by several beings.
Dr. Karla also talked about the topic of cloning. She said she wasn’t just referring to the idea that the small gray alien workers were mass-produced like cars in a factory. She was also talking about the cloning of human bodies.
Sometimes abductees are shown bodies that are exact copies of themselves. Other times, they see many identical human bodies that are just lying there, lifeless.
In one case, a man was taken to a place where he saw about 40 human bodies—20 males and 20 females. All the males looked exactly alike, and all the females looked exactly alike. They were all young, blonde, and very healthy-looking.
Karla questioned what all of this cloning and body production had to do with the alien agenda, especially the crossbreeding program. She pointed out that the aliens’ goals weren’t only physical. They also focused on long-term psychological programming of abductees. The aliens seemed to target people’s personal relationships, their views on sex, their political beliefs, and their religious ideas.
For example, many abductees reported becoming highly suspicious of their government after their experiences. Some even felt paranoid around others, both inside and outside of the UFO community.
Dr. Karla shared that one woman named Jane, who was featured in her book Taken, said that the aliens made her distrust the government. Similarly, abductees often found their spiritual beliefs changed.
Dr. Karla said aliens can create virtual reality experiences that seem completely real to abductees. She shared a case of Ted Rice.
In the early 1990s, Ted was visiting friends in Florida when something strange happened. One night, he heard his hostess, Marie, screaming for help. When Ted ran to her room, he saw a blue glowing sphere around the bed where another guest, Frances, was lying. Frances was frozen, unable to move, and seemed to be having a conversation with things that no one else could see.
Frances later described how she heard what sounded like a helicopter overhead. She looked up and saw the ceiling dissolve, revealing a strange craft above the house. Two alien beings came from the craft and communicated with her. Ted and Marie, outside the blue energy sphere, only saw the light and could not hear what Frances was experiencing. If they hadn’t been there to witness it, Frances would have believed she had a completely real encounter. This case, Karla said, proved that aliens can create incredibly convincing illusions.
Karla also brought up a troubling fact: aliens seem to have a mysterious interest in the human soul. Even though this isn’t talked about much publicly, she emphasized that many abductees report experiences related to souls.
For example, a young girl was asked by aliens if they could “borrow her soul.” Two different abductees from St. Louis both described being shown a huge metallic sphere in space, which they were told was a “soul recycling center.” Others have memories of living past lives in alien bodies. One man even recalled seeing his young human body die, his soul being captured, and then inserted into a new body with the help of alien technology.
Dr. Karla defined propaganda as any organized effort to spread a specific belief or idea. In her view, aliens are using propaganda on abductees. They shape what people believe about them by using their ability to create illusions and virtual realities. Sometimes they appear as familiar faces, like dead relatives or even celebrities, to make abductees more compliant during encounters. In many cases, they even appear as religious figures like Jesus, always with specific features, such as blue eyes and blonde hair.
Dr. Karla explains that aliens seem to encourage humans to believe they are beautiful and compassionate. They do this by showing themselves as attractive beings, knowing that humans often wrongly associate beauty with goodness. She warns that this manipulation plays on our emotions rather than on any real proof of their true nature.
