I suppose at least some of you have been interested in the UFO - or now, UAP - phenomena? And know how tightly owls seem to be connected to the wilder parts of that?
Not just abductees see and remember owls. Sometimes those have been assumed to be some sort of screen memories, masking what might have been some of those aliens - or "aliens" - that they encountered. But owls seem to pop up in a lot of stories of simply seeing something like weird lights in the sky too. And in ways that make it look most likely that what was seen was actually real owls, not some sort of hallucinations or screen memories.
And then there is that cabal fascination with owls. Owl statues, owl pictures, owls owls owls...
What the h*ll is it about owls? They are sort of cute, at least the very young ones are, if somewhat stupid seeming birds (in spite of that mythological connection with wisdom they are supposedly among, if not the most stupid, of all birds of prey).
Why owls?
I remember reading of one abduction experience where a couple were driving down a road late at night and out in the middle of nowhere when a light descended from the sky and landed onto the center of the road preventing their crossing. Their vehicle's engine died but the headlights remained on. The light was an actual large craft with bright pulsing lights. Soon, a couple of creatures came out and began approaching the vehicle.
The couple stayed in their disabled car and were frozen in fear. The two upright walking creatures approached their vehicle and as they got closer appeared to be a pair of 3 ft tall Owls. They stood there staring at the occupants in the vehicle.
The couple then they found themselves about 100 miles farther on the road with no memory how they got there and a block of missing time.
Their interpretation was the owl was the imbedded memory to overwrite the actual memory of the creatures that abducted them. The Owl false memory was given because it was a familiar creature and would be less alarming than the real creature.

Owls represent deep wisdom and insight for their large eyes. Sometimes this representation is used by beings who have deep wisdom and insight, and sometimes it is abused by beings who wish they had deep wisdom and insight.
Makes sense!
