Just hastling you. In reality, I am fascinated by the idea of extra-terrestrial life and am a firm believer that "The Truth is Out There" (sorry for the cheesy X-Files quote >.<).
However, having seen a number of television specials dealing with the topic, it seems to me that an unhealthy amount of people claim to have been abducted, and wouldn't you know (as you have pointed out) the majority of them are located in backwater rural areas. It seems odd to me that if an advanced lifeform were to come to Earth in search of test-subjects that it would stick primarily to abducting individuals with less than average IQ's and have some problem with abducting city-dwellers.
If they are so advanced, and have mastered quantum physics to assist in their capturing of human beings, it seems unlikely that they would base their studies on the same type of humans over and over again.
HAving read your many posts on the subject, I wouldn't begin to profess some level of ET knowledge that would surpass your own, so if you could take the time to develop what I have said with your own opinions perhaps I could learn a thing or two.

THANKS TONS FOR YOUR KIND MSG.
Actually an extensive research study involving quite a battery of psychological tests have been done on a sizable sample of abductees.
AND, it does not matter rural or not, their IQ's are actually slightly above average, if my memory serves me right. I think even slightly significantly above average.
Also, There have been plenty of abductions from cities. There was one in New York out of the 11th or 17th--I forget which--floor of a highrise apartment. And a very high ranking diplomatic dignatary was caught in traffic nearby and observed it. Some assert he was abducted too. I forget the speculations on who it was.
In this particular case, the woman was levitated out her apartment window on say the 11th floor, and then levitated up with ET companions along side into a large ship that was hovering, I think over the river. There was a bridge nearby on which a number of witnesses were stranded, watching.
There was a ton of corroboration about that incident. I think it was in Manhattan but I'm not for sure.
There have been a number of city and suburban abductions.
It's just that the majority of them tend to happen in rural areas--for understandable ease of not being noticed so much reasons. But that may be changing. They may want to be seen more and may be doing more city stuff. Other's claim the abduction phase is ended and a dramatic open new phase is about to begin.
BTW, I don't think IQ is distributed as you assumed. Many rural folks are smarter than a ton of city folks. But I think basically all areas have a normal curve distribution of IQ. New Mexico as a State has long had the highest percapita of PhD's in the country. I don't know if Microsoft has changed that or not. Of course, we have a lot of alcoholic Native Americans as well as Hispanics but their IQ's are as high as any other group's.
Actually abductions seem to run in families in many cases with grand parents, parents and children being abducted by the same group of ET's. Perhaps even great grand parents and back further. Certainly not in all cases, though.
It's still unclear how much is a hybrid breading program to install hybrids in our societies as a control, power thing; how much is a study of pollution etc. and how much is for food.
I think it was the Harris poll which indicates that more than 3 or 4,000,000 Americans have been abducted. It was a fairly well designed questionnaire with a series of questions which have been demonstrated to have a high correlation with people having been abducted. Some claim the number is really much higher but that many more abductees have had their memories altered enough to have insufficient clue to show up at all, on a questionnaire or otherwise.
I think that's all the points you wanted me to pontificate on. Who knows but God what the precise truth is in terms of the whole picture. Even with my studying the topic since Jr High and now I'm 57 years old, I still feel I mostly have great bins of puzzle pieces with some clusters of pieces put together but nothing like a whole picture starting to filter out yet. And, one rarely knows with any reliable confidence what is true, what is disinformation and what is crazy fantasy etc.
Thanks for your inquiry.
