Correspondence with French Investigator

A case of mine tipped me off to a french investigator who has been compiling cases as early as 2005 of a similar phenomenon, which I refer to as the target symbol marks.
(See my introductory post here.)

Remy and I have emailed a few times for the purpose of comparing notes on our two phenomenon. He had this summary to share about his years investigating the target marks (in his words):

"What is well defined :

01 - These marks appear unwittingly to the wearer .
02 - However, it is visible by the concerned person or his family .
03 - It does not have a specific location on the body, but a preference for its upper part .
04 - There is a physical effect on the skin , similar to a burn .
05 - This mark is substantially identical in pattern and color .

06 - This mark is often incomplete .
07 - This mark seems to be printed by contact rather than by projection .
08 - The size of this mark is variable .
09 - The mark seems to heal quickly .
10 - The mark disappears within a substantially identical time .
11 - That these marks are ( mostly or always? ) on the front of the body or on his side rather than on its back .
12 - That there is no case marking on the face and on the head in general .
( Can we say the same for the hands and feet ?)
13 - There is no link with the age of the witnesses .
14 - There is no link with the sex of the witnesses .
15 - There is no link with the social background of witnesses .
16 - Witnesses are worried and are looking for similar cases .
17 - The majority of the evidence comes from two kinds of forums : paranormal or medicine .

What is unclear :
18 - Some people have seen a specialist ( dermatologist , doctor ) and left unanswered .
19 - It often appears during the night .
20 - The appearance of this mark is not painful .
21 - Women seem more concerned .
22 - It seems that there's a link with paranormal experiences that some witnesses have lived, or that they mixed with.
23 - This mark is only present in some countries ( the language barrier )
24 - The cases do not seem to be common .
25 - These marks seems to date back to the late 1990s."


CROSS COMPARISON
 
He states in lines 13-15 that he can find no connection between such descriptors as age, sex, or social background between target experiencers. Like the RGMP, target marks also appear predominantly at night while the person is asleep, leaving the witnesses confounded about a mark deep enough to disturb the skin and cause a scab. Line 20 is worth repeating, that experiencers do not report any pain associated with the burned area, a surprise I was not expecting considering the damage to the skin apparent in the case file photos. 

Obviously his analysis and observations have turned up a few points I have not, mainly due to myself still being in the process of collating all the data. One of those is that he believes women more than men tend to be more concerned by the appearance of the marks. This point seems rather irrelevant to me, however it does go to show the feeling of victimization that experiencers respond with upon discovering the marks. Something about not being able to place how such a distinguishing mark could have happened without their knowledge and without sensation is understandably disconcerting. Because of this, we find most people have reported their cases on paranormal and medical forums to try and find answers, or at least others who have encountered the same thing, as Remy states in lines 16 and 17 above. 

The most incredible similarity between our two phenomena, is line 22, that in both investigations we come across people who had episodes of paranormal encounters, or altered state experiences. I hope to get more details on this point soon.

Remy came to the conclusion that the marks are imprinted by contact with some thing, whether device, or force he did not specify. It seemed clear to him, as it would have to me, that the target symbols were left by direct contact to have created such a precise burn. I'm not ruling out that some unknown telecommunication technology could have been used to create the mark from a controlled distance, whereby air or heat is manipulated from a distance. However, there is no way for us to know that at this time. We can only consider what we know and what is possible. 


FURTHER NETWORKING

Remy also mentioned one other person he's aware of who is interested in these phenomena, someone by the name Jacques Vallée. Courtesy of Wikipedia (italics added to help identify quoted text):

"Jacques Fabrice Vallée (French: [vale]; born September 24, 1939) is a venture capitalist, computer scientist, author, ufologist and former astronomer currently residing in San Francisco, California.
In mainstream science, Vallée is notable for co-developing the first computerized mapping of Mars for NASA and for his work at SRI International on the network information center for the ARPANET, a precursor to the modern Internet. Vallée is also an important figure in the study of unidentified flying objects (UFOs), first noted for a defense of the scientific legitimacy of the extraterrestrial hypothesis and later for promoting the interdimensional hypothesis."

Notable theories of his, for our research purposes, are the notion that multidimensional entities could be communicating/interacting with humans in a space-time where they would be undetectable by the physical senses. This is a theory I strongly support because it is something I have come to on my own in this investigation and my own dream contact experiences. It's referred to as the 'multidimensional visitation hypothesis.'

"As an alternative to the extraterrestrial visitation hypothesis, Vallée has suggested a multidimensional visitation hypothesis. This hypothesis represents an extension of the ETH where the alleged extraterrestrials could be potentially from anywhere. The entities could be multidimensional beyond space-time, and thus could coexist with humans, yet remain undetected."

His idea specifically contradicted the ET standard hypothesis to explain abductions, contact (positive and negative), and UFO visitations. Rather than physical entities, he found enough evidence in cult, history, religion, and psychic phenomena, among other areas, to believe in many instances the visitors are not of a physical form, at least not in the same way we understand solid matter.

As a thought exercise, imagine for a moment that the electrons of your atoms were so excited they could orbit their atoms like free particles can exist as

If we, for a moment, let us consider such a possibility that these marks are 'close encounters' with multidimensional consciousness, what might their purpose be?

Tracking is of course the common notion, though a being that can transverse time and space like they do might have no need to track a person/object in one particular dimension.

Influence biological or psychological makeup is another idea suggested by Dr. Leir's research. Behavior modification such as this would be very subtle. It would require hormonal and chemical changes just slight enough to affect thought patterns and reaction. Would it be for a particular goal, a one time action, long-term affect, or more of a influence toward something.. say curious wonder and speculation about cosmological concepts or advanced science? What I mean is, might behavioral input (through the marks) actually be a push to expand our consciousness, our awareness of what's here right beside us in and encompassing the space we reside in? How would we make contact?

That was the topic of consideration for me a couple years ago when I began my communication experiments. (See Investigation #4 of the Investigation's Page for a list of related posts to those attempts).

Where does this leave us? Still pulling from every discipline we know to understand how such specific marks could appear inexplicable without the person's awareness. Each clue brings us closer to understanding a bizarre reality.
