Alien Abduction
Alien Abduction as defined by Wikipedia is: Human beings that have subjectively real memories of being taken against their will by nonhuman entities and later subjected to complex physical and psychological test and procedures. Such alien abductions have often been classified as close encounters of the 4th kind. People claiming to have been abducted by aliens are usually called "abductees" or "experiencers".
Due to a lack of objective physical evidence, most scientists and pychologists dismiss the alien abductions as "deception, suggestibility (fantasy-proneness, hypnotizability, false memory syndrome), personality, sleep paralysis, psychopathology, psychodynamics and environmental factors". Skeptic Robert Sheaffer sees similarity between the aliens depicted in early science fiction films, in particular, Invaders From Mars, and some of those reported to have actually abducted people.
Typical alien abduction claims involve being subjected to a forced medical examination that emphasizes the subject's reproductive system and organs. Abductees sometimes claim to have been warned by the extraterrestrials of the dangers of environmental degradation and nuclear weapons. While many of these claimed encounters are described as terrifying, others have been viewed as transformative.
The first alleged alien abduction claim to be widely publicized was the Betty and Barney Hill abduction in 1961. Reports of the alien abductions are a world wide phenomenon.
Alien abductions have been the subject of conspiracy theories and science fiction storylines (most notably The X-Files) that have speculated on technology required if the phenomenon were actually real, the motivations for secrecy, and that alien implants could be a possible form of physical evidence.
