I certainly don’t know about abductions and all that. But a lot of stories are similar.

And with probing different areas, a lot of stories focus on the reproductive system. Aliens apparently like to harvest sperm and egg cells, for who knows what purpose.
They take blood and tissue samples, as they are so curious about earthlings and want to study us.

I think being abducted by aliens would be kind of cool. But I would draw the line at being “probed”.

Side bar...

Folks are asking; "What do we do after the Tea Parties?"

I am (and have been) taking individual action.

Everywhere I go I carry loose tea bags. I leave one behind. At the bank, on the train, at the gas pump, at the library, especially at Borders Books.

I have left over a hundred so far. My favorite was a teabag looped over the ears of a life-sized cardboard figure of TOTUS in Union Station in DC. I pulled back and watched the reactions of passers-by. People do notice...and that is the point.

If hundreds of us did this (or thousands) in every state we could make it a "Kilroy Was Here" legend and drive the commie bastards crazy.

Teabags hung on POTUS ears; a good idea. Cheap and effective, and easy to do.

I don’t completely dismiss the idea of UFO’s being space ships tho I think it very unlikely.

On the other hand, alien abductions are the pure lunatic fringe.

I’m not sure which is more entertaining — the claims of alien abduction — or the inevitable efforts to prove or disprove them. :)

Repressed memories are a dicey subject - everything from genuine incidents to wild fantasy can come up as a ‘repressed memory.’

I wouldn’t place much faith in findings that come from hypnosis, without some physical, corroborating evidence.
