There are some people who remember their abductions regardless of what the Aliens tell them. It is unknown why or how some people are able to override the Aliens' attempt to suppress their memories. These abductees are able to remember larger portions of their abduction experience. They even remember being told they would forget the event, but they don't. During the course of an abductee's life, memories may leak into the conscious mind.
Bleedthrough memories are fragments or a few seconds recalled from an abduction.
Many bleedthrough memories are terrifying emotionally for the abductee. They are especially terrifying because their origin may be unknown if the person is unaware of his abduction history. Bleedthrough memories serve as clues to the astute abductee as to what may have happened during an abduction. Therapists can use these memory fragments to assist the abductee in recalling an entire abduction event under hypnotic regression. Bleedthrough memories are triggered by tiny events in the environment around us.
