Dark Side Hypothesis
The Dark Side Hypothesis is a set of theories formulated by John Lear.
Here are some of his points:
Dozens of flying saucers have crashed over the years and the US government has recovered all of them and launched Project Redlight in 1962 whose aims were to discover how to fly these recovered craft and this was carried out in S-4 at AREA 51.
Lear claims that this area is no longer in US control, the aliens have taken over the area. The US government then made a deal with the aliens in which the aliens could control a segment of S-4 and abduct as many people as they want, in return for their technology and that they provided a list of people that they intended to abduct. In 1973, the US government discovered that the aliens were abducting more people than they had listed and there was a confrontation and in 1978/9 the aliens held and then killed 44 top scientists and some of the Delta Force troops sent in to rescue them. The deal was then broken but the aliens stayed and were abducting as many as 1 in 10 Americans to use in experiments, mutilating these abductees and producing androids in underground laboratories. Sometime in the 1980's the US government and the aliens got together again and are working together so that the US can gain some more alien technology. Lear claims that there is a secret US government that is overseeing the abductions and that the abductees have implants in them that control them so that when an ideal time came, the secret government could enslave them and control them via drug addiction. The head of the secret government would be MJ-12.
Lear's sources were PAUL BENNEWITZ, BOB LAZAR and, later on, BILL COOPER. When Bob Lazar went public on US TV in 1989, he said that he did not believe any of Lear's claims and distanced himself from Lear and any of his associates.

Drake Equation and the Fermi Paradox
The Drake Equation is basically a means of doing rough calculations for the amount of intelligent life in the universe.
Basically it takes the form:
X stars in the Galaxy, of which
Y % have planets, of which
Z % can support life, on which
A % intelligent life has arisen, with
Then with the manipulation of the numbers you arrive a figure that gives you how close on average the nearest intelligent lifeforms are.
There are various mathematical expressions for this formula, and there are variations on how many terms the equations include.
The problem, of course, is that some of the variables are easy to pick (e.g., stars in the Galaxy), some are under study (e.g., how many stars have terrestrial-like planets), and others are just flat-out guesses (e.g., duration of civilisation, where we are currently running an experiment to test this here on Terra of Sol).
One of the problems that the Drake Equation produces is that if you take reasonable numbers for everything up to the average duration of technological civilisations, then you are left with three possibilities:
1 - If such civilisations last a long time, "They" should be _here_ (leading either the Flying Saucer hypothesis -- they are here and we are seeing them, or the Zoo Hypothesis -- they are here and are hiding.
2 - If such civilisations last a long time, and "They" are not "here" then it becomes necessary to explain why each and every technological civilisation has consistently chosen not to build starships (since the first civilisation to build starships would spread across the entire Galaxy on a timescale that is short relative to the age of the Galaxy), perhaps because they lose interest in spaceflight and building starships.
3 - Such civilisations do not last a long time, and blow themselves up or otherwise fall apart pretty quickly.
Thus the Drake Equation produces what is called the Fermi Paradox (i.e. "Where are They?"), in that the implications of #3 and #2 are not terribly encouraging to some folks, but the two flavours of #1 are kind of hard to understand.

DUAL REFERENCE
Dual Reference is a term first used by Abduction Researcher 'Joe Nyman'.
It is a term that has been coined to describe unexpected imagery articulated by abductees in latent encounter investigations. It is describe as images that the abductee has of themselves as being "of the same form and kind as those conducting the encounter".
"The abductee," Nyman says, "tends to see him-or herself engaged in long-term experiences".
