UFO abduction
The Abduction Phenomenon is as umbrella term used to describe a number of hypotheses, claims or assertions stating that extraterrestrial creatures kidnap individuals--sometimes called "abductees"--usually for medical testing or for sexual reproduction procedures. Many — but not all — such encounters are described as terrifying or humiliating.
The Abduction Phenomenon is highly controversial. Some critics have charged the field is pseudoscience or kookery. Specifically criticised is a strong reliance on hypnotism: some critics have argued that, while under hypnosis, individuals are prone to confabulation, and their accounts are unreliable. Supporters counter that not all professed abductees undergo hypnosis before relating their accounts.
