Anal Probing!

In 2014 Jason Colavito posted an article about the earliest origins of the anal probe phenomenon in UFO lore:

http://www.jasoncolavito.com/aliens-and-anal-probes.html

Colavito traced the specific connection between actual abduction reports and anal probes back to Barney Hill's abduction claims from 1961. However, Hill's anal probe claims weren't mentioned until the hypnosis sessions in early 1964 and those sessions' mention of anal probing being first reported in 1965. Colavito notes that the first mention of probing in the 1964 hypnosis sessions occurred mere days / weeks after such probing was portrayed in episodes of both The Outer Limits and Twilight Zone.

There don't seem to have been any documented accounts of anal probing from the mid-Sixties until Strieber cited it in 1987. A number of abductees came forward to claim probing experiences from the Sixties onward (not all of them anal) in the wake of Strieber's Communion. However, these claims of earlier probing emerged only after Strieber popularized the anal probe trope and hadn't been mentioned prior to that.
 
Hmmm.. Rosales might have some kind of list that can be searched --usually humanoids are involved. There are the needles in navels and other fun things, too. Maybe some of these?:

With the obvious proviso that alien visitors are likely to possess a lot of science that we do not - so any supposition will be limited - has anyone ever posited exactly to what ends (snigger) the alleged probing is performed? I mean, they can't be coming all that way just to check our temperatures, or as part of some intergalactic cancer screening - surely? It's always struck me that for beings who must possess some pretty staggering technology, there's something decidedly analogue (mmphhh) about putting things in peoples bottoms.

That's a genuine question, by the way - not an exercise in euphemism. The problem with being British is that it's utterly impossible to avoid double entendres when discussing backsides. Never going to happen.

That's why I think the aliens are doing it for a laugh or for kicks.

As I'd mentioned earlier (May 2012 post) it makes perfect sense that when studying an alien life form one of the key data collection foci would be biochemistry and metabolic function. Metabolic input, processing, and output is a fundamental aspect of advanced / multicellular organisms.

Comparative analysis of material input versus waste output is as basic and essential a research objective as I can imagine. Such analysis is arguably the most efficient way to rapidly evaluate the organism's metabolic processes and determine which sorts of (e.g.) chemical processes should be studied in more detail.

It's one of the first things we'd do in studying a truly alien organism.

The location of an organism's metabolic refuse disposal is also something that should be readily identifiable and understandable as such.

It's far more difficult to accept that aliens would just as readily recognize (e.g.) human genitalia and navels for what they are, because they are specific to our species' mode of reproduction.
 
I was once told by someone in the business that one of the first things a restaurant consultant does when evaluating an establishment is to look at what goes out the back door and into the dumpster.

For what it's worth (ahem) Strieber once rather excitedly reported that he had learned of some new technology for gathering bovine semen that involved an electric shock delivered by way of the bull's anus. He was sure he had discovered the reason for his experience. He may well have moved on to other explanations by now.

Yep ,,. There have been scattered allusions to the notion the anal probing was done for sexual stimulation rather than sampling purposes. These allusions are usually found in the context of a "sex-with-aliens" or "aliens-study-human-sex" perspective on abductions.

Made redundant by the commercial development of Viagra - that's why all those Morphy Richards FundamentElite Rapid-Charge Ejaculisers had to be repurposed as kitchen hand mixers.
 
I think the whole idea of rear probing is another reason why it's not true space aliens....it's ludicrous on many levels.
This is a human meme by people who were probably in some dream state or other altered mental state and it's one of their night terrors.
If advanced aliens aren't beyond simple cavity searches then they simply don't have the tech to get to earth in the first place..imho.

That would make sense if was done perhaps once or twice in the beginning, and they thought and operated like we do. I've wondered if the cattle mutilations --if they are part of the phenomenon, are for certain purposes; one could learn a lot from the microbiome of the organism and microbiota there by sampling tongue and rectal tissues. If something was trying to create an up-to-date earth environment somewhere off-planet, it could be useful. I agree with Dr. Wu about many of the reports --I'm skeptical. But I could end up eating crow there too, so we will see.

Yeah, the anal probing stories say a whole lot more about certain members of the UFO community and their subconscious (or even their fantasies) than they do any actual facts about life from other worlds or dimensions which may not have been here at all.
 
It's possible that some researchers might like it.
Not that there is anything wrong with that!

I don't have any particular insight, and certainly no experience :wide:, but it sure looks to me like there might be some big and arrogant assumptions being made in this thread. We don't know squat* about this stuff when it comes down to it.

Spookdaddy, you are right about the double entendre thing. Seems to affect us Merkins too. But then our culture is just a mutated version of yours.
 
My family are addicted to watching The Yorkshire Vet usually about teatime. These august gentlemen are constantly up some animal or other. I would expect aliens who specialise in human biology to treat it like veterinary science, so the probing doesn't seem out-of-place at all.
 
They've got to take samples to compare with the samples from their human zoo to ensure the zoo inhabitants are getting the same nutrition they would in the wild.
