Introduction:

An alien abduction is when a human is removed from his/her environment by a non-human lifeform, usually involves a bright light/beam transporting the human to an unknown craft/room, experimentation involving reproductive organs, sighting of strange beings, and light to severe memory loss. Some of the of the most compelling evidence of extraterrestrials comes from alien abductees themselves and many of the captives are normal people whose lives were ultimately changed by the experience. The fact is, abductees don't get paid to tell their story, and in some cases, don't tell their stories at all for fear of being ridiculed.  Why would someone come forward with the story with no beneficial gain other than to warn/understand what has happened.  Many psychologists who work with abductees notice that many of them have no history of mental illness and may not even remember being abducted at all.

Process of Abduction

1. Abduction - Abductee is taken, sometimes levitate, from their environment i.e. Bedroom with bright lights/beam as they enter a craft, or the abductee just remembers waking up in a "lab" like room. Beings may also use objects to make the abductee follow orders.

2. Experimentation - Non-human beings usually characterized by the "greys" with a taller dark-eyed being conducting the experimentation, sometimes the group is made of up different species. Experiments involve procedures on the head (sometimes leaving marks) to the lower abdomen on reproductive organs where sperm/eggs are removed. Some abductees also report seeing human-alien looking hybrids, where the abductee is forced to "mate" with. Abductees may also see child like hybrids with incubation chambers/nurseries. Possible tools used in experimentation are lights that put the abductee in a confused state, x-ray like machines, and injection needles that are usually 3-pronged objects. Some female abductees report being prenant or having signs of pregnancy and symptoms suddenly disappearing (indicating another abduction). Abductee is also introduced to hybrid children/infants and provide skin to skin contact with supervision by the captor.

3. Interrogation - Abductee sometimes experiences interrogation by the captors involving questions about human behavior. Captors explain the reason for the abduction but seem to be dishonest and "hide" some information about their role, and even ask the abductee to perform certain tasks once released which is evidence that they may be taken again. Sometimes warnings/prophiecies are given as well through images put in their head.

4. Release - Abductee is usually released in a secluded area, usually where they were taken, with clothes on improperly or no clothes at all, sometimes laying down. Abductees usually don't remember the past event or have no recollection of time passed since the event, and sometimes dreams during sleep respark their memory or during hypnosis, the event becomes uncovered. Some abductees don't even know they were taken until put under a hypnotic state. Reports of multiple abductions, even from an early age are also reported. Sometimes alien implants are discovered with unusual properties unknown to modern science (may indicate an abduction). See alien implants.

Other Notes:

Another interesting note is that some children have reported being abducted with similar aspects to adult related abductions. Deborah Truncale, a pro-abduction researcher believes that the reports made by children should be taken similarly seriously to those made by adult. She notes several characteristic behaviors of children fictionalizing stories, such as pausing to think, attempting to anticipate the reaction of the listener, or trying to fake convincing eye contact. Truncale sees child abduction claimants as lacking these mannerisms, instead, she says, they can be described as "generally more animated [than children making up stories] and speak[ing] quickly, [they recall] an account without the behavior that involves...story telling."
Children seem to react differently to their alleged abduction experiences than adult claimants. Many alleged adult abductees report doubting their sanity or the veracity of what they believed happened to them. Children, by contrast, never seem to doubt that their experiences happened to them. For an adult, an abduction experience can challenge much of what they believe about the world. Children however, by virtue of being in a formative stage of development, more readily assimilate the experience into their developing worldview.
