Are these abductions part of some criminal investigation? If they have happened then there must be criminal investigations. That leaves us with two scenarios if they are true. Either humans have abducted them and experimented on them or the entities the witnesses described. Edited August 31 by MrAnderson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another case where knee-jerk reactions keep the hard skeptic from considering rationally. Again, this quickly becomes more about psychological resistance than reason. P.S. I think there is even an implant in one of the Nazca Mummies With Zero evidence that aliens even exist...anywhere...the Papameter demonstrates accurately the phraseology that Belief is irrelevant with regards to the truth! The truth is that we have yet to even find life forms other than on Earth. There is no science for determining the existence of aliens or alien implants. It isn't about psychologicl resistance...it is about psychological laziness. Reason dictates that the truth prevails over belief every single time. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I said is that if they have been abducted (which is a serious crime) then there are only two cases. Either they have been abducted by humans who also experimented on them or they have been abducted by the creatures they have described in their testimonies. You said they haven't been abducted but they were hallucinating somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either they have been abducted by humans who also experimented on them or they have been abducted by the creatures they have described in their testimonies. You said they haven't been abducted but they were hallucinating somehow. Yes I did... There is a third, and more likely explanation called Sleep paralysis. In the first study, we assessed 10 individuals who reported abduction by space aliens and whose claims were linked to apparent episodes of sleep paralysis during which hypnopompic hallucinations were interpreted as alien beings. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/1363461505050715?download=true&journalCode=tpse In their conclusions, the researchers note that people who believe they have been abducted by aliens may have problems with source monitoring — remembering how and when a memory is acquired. For example, someone may watch a movie featuring alien abduction, or even just otherworldly creatures, and years later when assessing an episode of sleep paralysis, recall that monster and incorrectly incorporate it into their supposed abduction experience. So, while stories of alien abduction may not be the sign of extraterrestrial life some may hope for, at least they can provide a neat example of the power of false memory formation. https://www.bps.org.uk/research-digest/what-leads-people-believe-they-have-been-abducted-aliens Victims wake up and find themselves paralyzed, unable to move or cry out for help. Aliens with wrap-around eyes, gray or green skin, lacking hair or noses, approach. The abductee’s heart pounds violently. Instruments are inserted in their noses, navels, or other orifices. Then they are back in their own beds and can move again. Researcher Susan Clancy, Richard McNally, a professor of psychology at Harvard, and other researchers tie such horrifying happenings to sleep paralysis, a condition where the usual separation between sleep and wakefulness gets out of synchronization. https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2005/09/alien-abduction-claims-explained/ Edited August 31 by Hazzard 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entire scientific community hasn't said anything as far as I know in the subject of alleged alien abductions. There are speculations and suggestions by some psychologists and psychiatrists but nothing more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
