The alien abduction phenomenon is already inherently strange. Here we have cases of people who claim to have been whisked away by non-human entities from space, or perhaps somewhere else, who have come back with bizarre tales of being examined, studied, and operated upon. One of the weirder areas of the phenomenon is what is called implants, in which these entities have hidden within the abductee’s body some sort of metal chip or device for reasons unknown. There have been quite a few cases that have featured this weird feature, and one of the strangest and most high-profile of alien implants comes from a humble construction worker who one day went on a drive, only to be plagued by alien forces and discover an unexplained implant within his arm.

“Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening by Robert Frost
The nighttime winter sky often shimmers with piercing, icy-like starlight. This isn’t an optical illusion. In the Northern Hemisphere, during the winter season, the Earth’s orbit directs us toward the edges of the Milky Way galaxy. The sky is darker; the stars appear brighter. In summer we’re directed more toward the Milky Way’s cluttered center. Cold air is also typically drier than warm air, which improves atmospheric clarity.
The winter woods sharpen human hearing, too. That’s because sound travels farther in cold weather.
Winter campers are well-acquainted with these delightful phenomena. They are why we retreat to the woods in winter. But they are hardly the only reasons.
