alien abductions

[nailit]

Is there any breakdown of where alien abductions are supposed to have taken place? It seems that the majority of 'abductions' take place in the USA.
just curious as to where this 'phenomonon' occurs and why.

[nailit]

actually, I'm more curious as to why?

[naomi24]

I've had a quick look, but I can't find any statistics, although one website says that 4 million Americans claim to have been abducted by aliens.

I believe that alien life exists, but I can't see why they would be making repeated visits to planet earth to conduct experiments on human beings. If they're that advanced, how many 'samples' would they need? As Birdie says, such claims say much about the human condition.

[Noraq]

Naoimi...are you sure that article did'nt say that 4 Million Americans ARE Aliens?

[Old_Geezer]

They will need at least as many samples as some nations need dead whales for research.

No I don't know the answer sought but suspect there must be very many UFO sites on the Net with that sort of information.

[naomi24]

Noraq, ha ha! No, I'm sure it didn't.

OG, I couldn't find actual country by country statistics - but I confess I didn't spend much time looking. Perhaps someone else will.

I find this subject fascinating as well, Naomi. IMO it is an updated phenomenon that surfaced in past centuries as interacting angels, demons and fairies - as humans we can only imagine things that our cultural experiences give us forms, shapes and words for. So once Orson Welles had terrified America with a Martian invasion, it was only a matter of time and media exposure before suggestible people start seeing aliens.

[naomi24]

Mosaic, I can't honestly say I'm fascinated by tales of alien abductions. I do, however, think it's possible that beings from other worlds have visited ours.

//I agree that visitations from alien life forms are a possibility but it's extremely unlikely. Given the distances involved and our relative obscurity in our own galaxy, the likelihood of having being visited by interstellar aliens is vanishingly small.//

I, for one, find your scepticism regarding the presence of LGM quite reassuring. birdie . . . yet a shadow of doubt remains.

I decided to get stoned after reading you mannnnn birdie1971' hippy like drown.

Simple fact is everything is possible....

[Arksided]

OP, No break down... how do you know... you haven't being??

[jomifl]

Being abducted by aliens, or anybody really, hasn't been one of my main concerns.

[beso]

Alien abductions invariably happen in the mind.

[wildwood]

The proof of alien abduction is all around you, worldwide. After quite sensible people have been abducted, probed and have 99% of their cerebral cells extracted, they are put back on Earth to see the result. These subjects invariably become politicians.

[nailit]

Best answer has to be wildwood's. Gave me a lol moment anyway.

[sith123]

however out of all the claims, half of them are bound to be false, the other half? who knows...

[jomifl]

Sith, what are you talking about? why half, why not all? do you have some special insight?

[DTCwordfan]

there are a few aliens around AB that could do with abducting!

[pdust]

yeah and a sheep disguise wont fool them into overlooking ya deet ;)
