THE ALIEN INVASION SURVIVAL HANDBOOK

Alien artifacts are engineered from extraterrestrial alloys that are readily traceable. Onboard remote sensing instrumentation can home in on stolen equipment from many miles away. Even a small surgical tool can act like a beacon, broadcasting your location. If you use any alien equipment as a weapon while escaping, make sure that you dispose of it within the first 300 feet of the craft, unless, or course, you propose to use it as a lure or a decoy to throw them off your trail.

Although most abductions follow a similar script, the manner of escape from your alien captors is almost infinitely variable. The outcome of your escape bid will ultimately depend on a multitude of factors that are impossible to predict, such as the number of alien hostiles, the location of the abduction attempt, the type and extent of any personal injuries, the nature of the terrain into which you escape, the time of year, whether it is day or night, and what weapons you have at your disposal. Devising detailed contingency plans is, as you can well imagine, extremely difficult. Yet, forewarned is forearmed. Preparation is still your best chance of survival. Therefore, it is important to analyze a range of typical and not-so-typical escape scenarios to familiarize yourself with the diverse range of situations you could encounter.

D.V. Pulbrook, one of the modern fathers of alien escapology research, devised a four-point classification system, known today as the Pulbrook Scale, to describe the disparate range of escapes from alien captivity that have been reported over the last half-century. Each level represents a ten-fold increase in the degree of difficulty and the degree of personal risk.

Levels I and II escapes have the highest success rates, while Levels III and IV represent extreme scenarios where the probability of life-threatening injury, or death, is substantial.

It is important to assess the potential risks involved in any situation you find yourself in before you decide on the appropriate course of action.

Boarding passes will not be required during Level I escapes. Sixty-eight percent of all successful escapes have occurred either during initial contact, when the aliens are attempting to paralyze their subjects, or while transporting their captives to their craft. Remember, it is easier to fend off attempted alien mind control than to overcome it once paralyzed. While outside the alien craft, you are still on “home turf,” so to speak, and have a distinct tactical advantage.

Also consider that 84 percent of all abductions occur in locations familiar to the abductee. In a familiar environment, you know the lay of the land and can utilize this knowledge in a fight-or-flight situation. Early warning detection devices, such as electromagnetic radiation detectors, can be set and escape routes pre-planned. Field-expedient weapons are more readily available. It is also easier to quickly get out of range of alien electroparalysis fields.

Every endeavor should be made to escape before being taken inside an alien spacecraft.

Finding yourself onboard an alien spacecraft for the first time can be a frightening and disorienting experience. The very fact that you are onboard would indicate that you have been abducted, and, as a result, are in danger of being subjected to a series of experiments that will negatively impact you and your loved ones for the rest of your lives.

Once taken onboard an alien craft, you will generally have between five and ten minutes in which to escape before lifting off. Airborne escapes are significantly riskier than escapes on the ground, and they rarely end to the satisfaction of the escapee. It is often difficult to tell when you have become airborne in an alien craft as g-force suppression technologies inhibit the human ability to sense motion, no matter how rapid. So it is important to act quickly.

Apart from the inherent dangers associated with the medical procedures carried out by your captors, the spacecraft environment itself presents a few potential hazards. A knowledge of these risks will proove to be invaluable to you during the mayhem of an actual escape.

The primary danger comes from the spacecraft's propulsion systems. While onboard the alien craft, these pose no significant threat, as they are protected within a secure containment area. However, outside the craft, there is risk associated with exposure to the underside of the craft during landing and takeoff. To avoid exposure to high-level electromagnetic fields, it is important that you are at least 50 yards — or preferably 100 yards — from the craft when its engines are operational.

Another potential hazard, although minor, exists in the physical dimensions of the spacecraft itself. Most alien crafts are relatively small in size, with interiors designed for their somewhat diminutive occupants. You may have to double over as you run down the corridor toward the escape hatch and duck under doorways to avoid sustaining a nasty head injury on the architrave. Always watch your step as you exit a spacecraft. Tripping over the spacecraft's landing legs or falling off the end of its gangplank not only is embarrassing, but you could easily twist your ankle, making further escape impossible.

Escapes do not always go as planned. One moment it may seem that freedom is within your grasp, the next, you are confronted with a situation that appears impossible to survive. If the unthinkable happens, you must be prepared, or, at very least, be familiar with the best course of action and what has worked for others in the past. You must be able to instantly weigh the odds of success, determine your chances of survival, and make a decision if you are not to risk recapture.
