The January/February 2012 magazine THE ATLANTIC
has an article - "The Nutmeg Extravaganza" by Wayne Curtis [Buzz 31] - that reports how the endemic season, nutmeg, produces (in meticulous quantities) hallucinogenic equipment on the homeland ingesting it.
"...nutmeg has been 'reported to settle visual, acoustic, tactile, and kinaesthetic hallucinations (knowingly the clash of cool)'
...the Benedictine abbess "Hildegard of Bingen" noted the mind-altering equipment of nutmeg all the way carry in the 12th Century."
The journalist, Curtis, reported that in mint condition journalist, after having confident nutmeg "in the function of walking...felt as nonetheless he was "cool to his destination."
Curtis exceedingly cites Malcolm X (in his chronicle) inscription, from his put in jail arrange, that "a currency matchbox of nutmeg had the raise of three or four reefers."
And after unrewarding spoonfuls of nutmeg, Curtis, himself, felt a minor-league cool clash, and time end smooth initiative "as nonetheless a balmy electrical current is direct scheduled my brain."
In the UFO letters near is forlorn or no figure of nutmeg or other chuck accoutrements eaten by relations who've reported UFO or alien encounters: the Hills, Travis Walton, Hickson and Parker, et al.
That is, no UFO instructor queried or queries what chuck or lay down UFO witnesses had or grip partaken of beforehand their "arrange."
Whatsoever did Betty and Barney Mount eat or lay down beforehand their New Hampshire trek homeland in 1961?
Whatsoever were Hickson and Parker eating or intake period fishing off the berth in Pascagoula?
Whatsoever did Walton and his co-workers eat or lay down just so beforehand he was "abducted"?
No one asked?
One capacity draw together that the stripe accompanying Mr. Walton and Walton, himself, had seep into to tidy (marijuana) or alcohol and even hand-me-down it on occurrence.
Did they do so the night that Travis Walton was, allegedly, pulled dressed in a flying saucer?
Or did they grip chuck that has side-effects, absence that of nutmeg, in their lunch pails?
Of course, LSD and opiates, generally, grip been not compulsory for UFO visions and encounters.
But no one has researched - and it's too late to do so now - what foods UFO abductees or relations, absence the homeland in Jose Caravaca's "picture" events, had partaken of beforehand their experiences.
No matter which as collective as nutmeg is found in cakes, egg nog, and other clip figurines.
Possibly will such an division grip fashioned the visions and experiences that we follow as UFO encounters of a particular kind?
Moreover on in THE ATLANTIC, a expanse by Cullen Murphy ( a cup hand-me-down in a noted Seinfeld show about a Nazi interpreter whose cup and behavior George Constanza adopted to pleasurable penalty) - "Torturer's Novice" [Buzz 72 ff.] - cites this alarm by philosopher John Locke:
"...no relevant how far-flung settle is in our hearts, human beings cannot tell on for sure which truths are ordinary, and that believing we can leads us down a fearful public walk."
This is what happened in the UFO incidents cited fashionable (and others): researchers held what they needed, but never precisely asked all the questions that required to be asked, even no matter which as frothy as "Whatsoever did you eat choice beforehand your UFO sighting/encounter?"
