Since Baha'u'llah said that all planets have their creatures many Bahais most likely believe in UFO's and alien beings. After all, they believe the UH$ is infallible - which is the least likley to be true? Admit it folks, there's millions and millions of stars and only about 25 Baha'is north of the Rio Grande. (Soon to be 24 since one in California is currently at risk.)  Anyway, we at Bahai Angst believe that many Bahais and ex-Bahais are actually AO abductees. It was surprising how little we had to change in the list below of symptoms for signs of alien abduction to have the document match the signs of AO Abduction. Read this and see for yourself.
                                          Are you an AO abductee?
                                                 58 common indicators of encounters or abductions by AO beings .
                                                                      Indicators distorted by Baha'i Angst

Many millions of people, it seems, have had encounters with AO beings. Many of those people do not realize that they are having these experiences because the encounters are so boring.. Their awareness is limited to an occasional paraboring incident that seems to confuse them more than anything else. Sometimes they are subjected to Peter Khan lectures.  Some people are not ready to know for sure, others feel a deep need to know if they are involved with the beings. If you are in the later group, read on.

This is a list of 58 common indicators shared by most AO abductees. It is based on known research on the subject by Juan Cole, William Garlington, Karen Bokay, Daniel Easterman, Steve Ka Kite,  and on personal findings. It has been compiled to help you determine if you are an abductee. Of course there may be other explanations for these occurrences and this is in no way an absolute means of  knowing if you are an abductee. If you or someone you know does fit many of these traits listed here, PLEASE seek the help of a qualified cult deprogrammer or therapist. This list is not in any particular order, nor is it divisible by nine.
