Alien abductions have occurred throughout history, to take an instance from The Bible we only need to look at the narrative of Ezekiel's strange encounter and subsequent disappearance. These abductions by alien visitors persist to this day and it has been estimated that as many as 100 million people have had abduction encounters. So what is it these people experience?

A Gallup poll a few years ago estimated one third of all Americans believe aliens have visited the planet Earth, and of these a large percentage believed alien abductions were happening frequently.

Abductions can occur at anytime of the day or night, they have happened in big cities and isolated outlying areas.

Strangely many alien abduction reports obtained from abductees follow a similar thread. The pattern in most instances goes like this.

A light is observed outside the bedroom window and shines in filling the room, aliens generally, though not consistently are referred to as Greys, enter the room either through the doorway or walls. In some cases the victim simply awakens to find them standing by the bed.

The abductee is paralyzed, completely unable to move, resist or speak. Anyone else present remains asleep, utterly unaware of what is happening. This lack of response from others present in the area has led to hypotheses that some kind of apparatus is used to shut down the sensory centres of the brain, by temporarily shorting those centres out, while retaining a rest like state.

The abductors repeatedly reassure the victim, either telepathically or by touch that what they are doing, or have to do, is necessary and for some kind of greater good.

The individual is then floated out of the room, sometimes via the door, sometimes through secure windows or even walls, solid matter appears to be no barrier, as the abductee along with the abductors are beamed into a waiting alien craft.

Once on board the victims find themselves in an examination room, their clothing removed and on a hard surfaced table.
