Dresden lawyer Jens Lorek is a specialist in employment and social law. Bored with his work, Lorek recently decided to focus on representing the victims of alien encounters, promoting himself in the tabloid Bild as "Germany’s first lawyer for alien victims." Lorek, an amateur astronomer, has been inundated with new clients claiming harassment at the hands of strange beings. According to a recent poll, nearly 40% of Germans believe that extra-terrestrial beings have visited Earth.
One of Lorek’s clients, identified only as "Ms. J.," complains that she has been "plagued" by a green light. Ms. J. claims that her attacker jabbed her in the shoulder. Worse, there was "a smell of coconuts and there were little white dots on my back."
Lorek, dressed in black and wearing a cowboy hat, was unable to find grounds for a lawsuit on Ms. J’s behalf. "Highly psychotic woman...urgently needs medical attention...nothing I can do," Lorek scribbled on his legal pad.
Lorek has arrived at the same conclusion in all of the alien cases he has reviewed to date.
The maverick lawyer believes that false memories of alien encounters may be attributed to real-life trauma perpetrated by earthlings. If he can establish a connection between harassment by "aliens" and victimization by humans, Lorek will be able to sue for compensation from the state under Germany’s victim compensation law.
Bremen sociologist Michael Schetsche notes that many reports of encounters with aliens are shockingly similar. The victims generally complain that they were subjected to "painful examinations and experiments," says Schetsche. "Blood or tissue samples are taken, thin probes are shoved in various bodily orifices or through the skin, and sometimes implants are inserted."
Schetsche speculates that memories of alien encounters fall under the category of "false memory syndrome," in which memories are distorted through hypnosis and questionable medical treatments.
The stories told by Lorek’s clientele seem to reinforce Schetsche’s hypothesis. One client, "Ms. P.," claims that she was visited by an alien on Christmas Eve, 1949. Ms. P. recalls a devilish entity appearing before her eyes. She says a black object with "huge, glowing eyes" came flying at her. She ran inside her home and has spent the past sixty years in a frightened state.
Lorek discovered that the planets Jupiter and Venus were very close together in the night sky on December 24, 1949. Lorek believes that his client mistook the planets for a pair of glowing eyes. Possibly a bird of prey flew at her at the precise moment that she saw the "eyes."
Sadly, Ms. P.’s case did not meet the evidentiary threshold for compensation from the state.
