Over the last 40 years, the abduction experience thousands of witnesses the world over claimed to have had has taken on a shocking pattern. People from all walks of life, from all over the world who have never met each other before, step forward with accounts of aliens abducting them and nearly all of the accounts given are surprisingly similar.
While the stories differ to a slight degree, it is widely accepted that this is a common occurence in nearly every witness account from police reports to newspaper articles. The similarities, when strung together, create a large and shocking picture that is most disturbing if believed.
In almost all abduction accounts, witnesses and those close to the witnesses report seeing strange lights in the sky, hearing strange noises at night and other baffling occurences. There is also the element of missing time, in which the witnesses cannot account for or do not notice several hours have passed. Events like these are usually what sets them off to the feeling that something is somehow "different" about the world around them. Usually, this leads to detrimental feelings such as loneliness, a feeling of being used and in some cases anger. Often, the psychological trauma seems to come on without apparent reason to the abductee, leading them to search for answers.
Witnesses, after some weeks of disturbing feelings, will begin to experience certain frightening dreams or memories that they can't quite get a clear vision of. Abductees will get strange flashbacks when they walk past a window, an area of their backyard or in some cases when being in places like hospital hallways.
These flashbacks are described more in terms of feelings, with actual images being very blurry and unintelligable. Feelings are described as fear, embarrasment, helplessness, and often enough shame. Only in a few rare cases have abductees ever reported remembering the actual events of their abduction or abductions except when they are in what could be sensed by the brain as a similar situation, such as sitting in an examination room or dentist chair with examination lights and medical tools nearby.
Often driven by these flashbacks and feelings, the abductees look for help. How many actually undergo regressive hypnotherapy to get to the root of their problem is unknown, but the likelihood that most who pursue conventional psychological treatment and conclude the source of their afflictions is something else (bullys beating them up when they were little, parental abuse, etc.) is probably very high. If this is so, then far more humans have been abducted than most ufologists think.
When abductees do undergo regressive hypnotherapy, the memories of the abduction experience become clear. Feelings of fright when they go near a hallway are resolved as they realize that is the hallway they were abducted in, the people who came to tuck them in in the middle of the night were actually gray aliens, that cannister vacuum in ther closet looks surprisingly like an alien device that was used to examine them, and the overhead lighting in the hospital bears a striking resemblance to the lights in the corridors of the craft they were taken aboard.
Here is where the vast majority of abduction cases become startlingly similar irregardless of the nationality, race, social class, history, culture, profession or character. The Abduction
Most abduction begin at night, usually when the person is sleeping in their house or driving down an isolated road. The person then sees bright lights in the sky, which get larger and brighter until a large craft, most often disc shaped, is hovering near or directly over them. All electronic or mechanical equipment usually stops functioning at this time. Clocks and lights go out, cars die on the road, etc.
At this point, the abductee is either visited by the aliens in the craft or is somehow transported aboard the craft. Often, this is described as a "floating" feeling wherein the person is lifted by a type of tractor beam into the underside of the vessel. Apparently, solid barriers such as windows or even roofs are passed right through.
Witnesses report almost universally that they feel controlled mentally, as well as their thoughts being "listened to" by their captors. While they want to resist and mentally resist, this is of no use. The general feeling seems to be that the aliens are all too aware of their captives feelings, but they don't care.
Once aboard the vessel, the abductee is taken into an examination room of some kind. Usually the rooms are very large and resemble examination rooms with very high tech equipment, but some witneses report being placed in a waiting room of some kind first, usually a small cubical room with no windows. Often as not, there are other humans present in the larger room as well, undergoing various tests.
The abductee is then subjected to various batteries of tests, most often very painful or at the least uncomfortable. Abductees have remembered being stripped naked, having various needles and devices inserted into their body cavities, and other scanning-like equipment being run down their bodies.
Most common among these reports is the determined purpose of the examinations. In nearly all cases, the alien beings seem interested in collecting reproductive tissue. Reports abound with cases of sperm being taken from men, eggs from women and women being impregnated.
Those abductees that claim not to have been examined or have had examinations in prior abductions often relate that they are used for some kind of breeding experiment. The reports take on three characteristics at this point.
The first is when a man and woman are brought together and have sex while the aliens observe them. When the act is done, the men are often returned to where they were taken but the women are kept aboard for more tests.
The second starts out much like the first, but the abductee, usually a man, realizes that he is seeing an illusion. The woman he is partnered with is actually an alien. No witness has ever gone into detail about this occurence, leading many researchers to believe that the "illusion" masks much of what takes place.
The final occurance happens between a human, usually a man, and a supposed hybrid of human and alien heritage. While the sexual act does not seem to change, the abductee often remembers odd features about the hybrid, such as skin color, missmatched hair coloration and large, pupiless eyes.
Several events seem to happen after the examination and/or sexual experiments. Usually, abductees are given a brief tour of the ship they are in, led about by a "leader" gray alien or a hybrid, both of whom communicate by some form of telepathy. This tour usually involves navigation charts of space or the Earth being shown to the abductees, though memories of what exactly the star charts show differ. Recreations have of the charts by memory have produced indications of the aliens' home worlds, though the planet that was determined in this method is different every time.
In some cases, abductees will recall monitors about the ship, some of which will be showing broadcasts from local news stations and channels. Mundane items such as cups, t-shirts, bic lighters and even auto parts can be seen on flat tables, layed out like exhibits in a museum.
Another post-examination event is the "show" in which the aliens will group a number of abductees together in a room and project various images onto a large screen. Images have been recalled to be everything from flowers to atomic explosions. As the images are flashed, abductees hear questions being telepathically sent to them about the objects. Whether this is a method for the aliens to determine exactly what humans know or think about the world is of debate, but these shows have proven to go on for hours with many abductees.
Shortly before they are returned, abductees are told bits and pieces of information, much of it having to do with their purposes for visiting this planet and the conditions of the human race. Most of this is told in generalities and in the end the aliens assert that the abductees will not remember the incident anyway. Why this is done is unclear, but because the individual messages vary widely from person to person, it may simply be something to confuse the abductees in the advent they do remember.
