h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

An Alien Abduction is the forced removal of a person from his or her physical location to another place. It may include an altered state of awareness (not to be confused with being drunk or high on drugs which might explain some abduction stories) for the purpose of physical, surgical, or psychological procedures performed by non-humans.

After the abduction, the person is returned to his or her physical location and frequently has little or no recollection of the experience except for maybe a sore groin.

Interestingly, many abductees do not seek therapy because "they have had an abduction experience" (fear of being laughed at or maybe they just can't afford it?). Rather, they seek help for a wide variety of complaints—such as vivid recurring nightmares, general anxiety, panic attacks, intense feelings of helplessness or vulnerability, and strange memories that cause them to question their sanity. Another common complaint is that of "missing time." This involves a period of time, usually ranging anywhere from forty-five minutes to several hours, that the person cannot account for (abuction is not a good excuse for someone who is perpetually late for work!).

What is compelling about abduction cases is the amount of similar, highly detailed information that abductees report. Detailed descriptions of passage to and from the craft, physical procedures and tests (human-alien cross hybridization or an undersexed nymphos imagination getting the best of them...you decide), surgical-type instruments, and descriptions of the aliens themselves, come from many different abductees who have never met one another. Until recently these stories were not available in the media. Abductees come from all walks of life, age groups, and ethnic backgrounds.
 
 

I have a big problem with people who claim to be abductees- mainly because i've walked home in a variety of incapable states. the ideal time to abduct someone would be on their way home from the pub- but for some reason our friendly aliens feel compelled to remove people from their beds or to land just infront of a car and play with the occupants watches. I'm not being flippant, it's just that if these beings [alledgedly] have the technology to travel time and space, then i'm sure that they are capable of being a little more subtle than is sometimes claimed.

Hi BUNCH - Just thought I would pop in and have a look around. If you want to know who else is around who are not asleep or in the process of being abucted, you can see who is on h2g2 at this time on my home page http://www.h2g2.com/U34006 or if you prefer you can put the link on your home page. It will be more fun if you know who's around on h2g2. just click for more info http://www.h2g2.com/forumframe.cgi?thread=9856&forum=4773
