Jacobs recounts an abductee describing a mechanical examination in which lights, panels, and geometric shapes shift around her body. The movement feels surreal, as though she is immersed in a dream generated by unknown technology. She cannot determine whether the machine touches her or simply observes.
The scene includes rhythmic vibrations and synchronized humming that feel symbolic rather than physical. She senses communication through the pattern of the machine’s movement.
Jacobs sees such mechanical examinations as secondary phenomena with strong dreamlike qualities.
