Psychic Persuasion is a term that refers to a process intrinsic to the UFO phenomenon. For lack of better words, it is a procedure perpetrated upon an unaware victim whereby they are externally influenced to make decisions allowing a sighting or abduction to be accomplished. The influence could be to perform a task that in some ways seem normal, but stand out as unusual when taken in context. An example would be a retired engineer who decided to check his mailbox at midnight, when he would naturally check it as soon as the mail runs in the afternoon.
