Explanations for the Alien Abduction Syndrome Scientific explanations for UFO s have been proposed ever since the first flying saucer was sighted in 1947. About the early 1960 s, after sightings of UFO s became more common, people began to report that they had been abducted by aliens. The typical alien abduction experience involves being awakened in the middle of the night by a bright light from a space craft and then being floated or carried by aliens up to the craft. The aliens are usually about four feet tall, with no hair, gray skin, and big, black, slanty eyes. The aliens then place their victim on a table and perform various medical procedures on him or her.
Most people recall being given an anal exam or having sperm or eggs removed from their body.
The abduction ends when the victim wakes up in the morning with little or no recollection of the whole event. Most abductees recall this scenario later while in a hypnotic state. Psychiatrists, psychologists, and therapists today have many different explanations for what really happened to these people who suffer from what some call the Alien Abduction Syndrome. These explanations range from simple dreams to complex electrical disturbances in the brain. One of the simplest explanations psychologists have for the abducted is that they had a very lucid or realistic dream.
