Virtual contact with aliens - do encounters with aliens take place in reality or in illusion?

 There are still reports of encounters with mysterious flying objects and their crews, but are these phenomena real in the sense that they take place in the physical world? Or are they the result of advanced technology that we cannot understand, acting on our senses in a way that allows us to "experience" interactions with aliens without physical contact? This is a question that many UFO enthusiasts are asking, especially in light of newer research and theories.

Consider the possibility that many of these experiences are actually virtual. There are several ways they can manifest. The first were holographic projections that could be photographed and that anyone could see. The second are visual images created by direct action on human senses, such as the retina or cerebral cortex. This type of encounter cannot be photographed and can only be experienced by the specific person involved. However, under certain circumstances, others can also see these manifestations if they are "set up" appropriately.

Another type of virtual experience is described by Dr. Carla Turner in her book "Masquerade of Angels". It talks about a sensory virtual reality created by aliens for the experimenter. This is similar to the scenario depicted in the movie "The Matrix", where reality is an illusion created by technology.

In addition, we have what could be called virtual memory. These are implanted memories that have no basis in actual experiences, but are so real and emotional that the person is convinced of their authenticity. If we accept this model of virtual meetings, the question arises: why would aliens decide to do so? There are several possible answers:

• Safety: The use of virtual contact techniques reduces the risk to strangers and their vehicles. If many of these encounters are projections or psychic illusions, the aliens can interact with humans without endangering themselves.
• Disease protection: Virtual meetings eliminate the risk of exchanging pathogens between humans and strangers.
• Energy efficiency: Virtual interactions can be more energy efficient than physical travel through space.
• Maintaining secrecy: If aliens wish to operate in secret, virtual encounters may allow them to avoid detection and outside interference.

Some suggest that aliens operate in different dimensions or on different frequencies than humans, which makes physical interactions with us difficult or dangerous for them. It is therefore possible that virtual experiences are an easier and more preferred way of communicating for them.

While UFO and alien encounters have traditionally been viewed as physical events, it is worth considering whether some of them may actually be illusions or projections created using advanced technology. This does not negate the authenticity of people's experiences, but it may provide new insights into the unusual phenomena they report.
