Alien Abduction
"...despite the fact that we humans are great collectors of souvenirs, not one of these persons [claiming to have been aboard a flying saucer] has brought back so much as an extraterrestrial tool or artifact, which could, once and for all, resolve the UFO mystery." Philip Klass

"Aliens, if an when we find them, could be so alien, so different from humanity as to undermine the meaning of any exchange we might have, or even make such exchange impossible." --Henry Gee

There is a widespread belief that alien beings have traveled to Earth from some other planet and are doing reproductive experiments on a chosen few. Despite the incredible nature of this belief and a lack of credible supportive evidence, a cult has grown up around it. According to a Gallup poll done at the end of the twentieth century, about one-third of Americans believe aliens have visited us, an increase of 5% over the previous decade.

According to the tenets of this cult, aliens crashed at Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947. The U.S. Government recovered the alien craft and its occupants, and has been secretly meeting with aliens ever since in a place known as area 51. The rise in UFO sightings is due to the increase in alien activity on Earth. The aliens are abducting people in larger numbers, are leaving other signs of their presence in the form of so-called crop circles, are involved in cattle mutilation, and occasionally provide revelations such as the Urantia Book to selected prophets. The support for these beliefs about aliens and UFOs consists mostly of speculation, fantasy, fraud, and unjustified inferences from questionable evidence and testimony. UFO devotees are also convinced that there is a government and mass media conspiracy to cover up the alien activities, making it difficult for them to prove that the aliens have landed.

It is probable that there is life elsewhere in the universe and that some of that life is intelligent. There is a high mathematical probability that among

    Are alien abductions actually true? Or are they the figment of people’s imagination? Do you believe in the existence of life (aliens) on other planets? This has been a question on so many minds for so many years. Extraterrestrial life, or aliens, as they are more commonly called, are defined as “any form of life that may exist and originate outside the planet Earth” (New World Encyclopedia, 2016). The history of alien abductions, the arguments against them being real, and the future impact for all of us humans if they are not, is the focus of this paper.…

    George Bernard Shaw once famously quipped, “We learn from history that we learn nothing from history”. This quote is fitting to this piece of evidence that suggests the UFO phenomenon has been around as long as human civilization has existed and yet it is consistently dismissed. Today many UFO sightings are often explained away as being the US military testing some new technological weapon or plane, but this explanation cannot be used in a time when human flight was impossible.…

    Numerous UFO sighting reports can be considered as a strong piece of evidence in favor of the existence of extraterrestrial life. What makes some of these accounts difficult to deny even for the strongest skeptics are claims made by reputable people, such as law enforcement, the military, pilots, and even astronauts. For example, in the early hours of December 14, 1994…

    Have you ever looked up at the sky and wondered who or what else we may be sharing our universe with? If you have you are not alone. There are approximately 3,700 UFO and alien sightings each year. Aliens have had reported sightings dating all the way back to the 1640's. I believe that with all the evidence, there is no way that aliens do not exist. In my opinion, aliens must exist because of the discovery of earthlike planets, proof of alien existence in ancient history, and the millions of sightings that many people have reported.…

    Just about 500 years ago people believed that the earth was still flat, (if it hadn’t have been for Copernicus or Plato people might still be afraid to fall off the edge of the earth) 50 years ago people doubted the existence of an alien life, (which is totally absurd) and 5 minutes from now the people in this room will start believing that aliens exist and have always existed. Many individuals around the world have reportedly been contacted by extra terrestrial beings. These individuals report that extra-terrestrials are visiting the Earth because they are interested in observing the development of the human species. This is not the only reason to believe in the existence of Extraterrestrial life and UFOs. Aliens along with UFOs exist but because of Government Cover-ups, The Roswell Incident, Extraterrestrial Laws and Government Projects much of the population is led to believe that aliens do not exist. The truth of the existence of extraterrestrials is left to be known as, “The Best, Not So Well Kept Secret”…

    Personally, I do not have any experiences with aliens. The belief is simply common sense to me and I refuse to believe that we are the only species in the universe. How can we advance in technology at such a ridiculous rate? How can monuments such as Stonehenge be explained without silly scientific reasoning? Buildings such as the pyramids created by the Mayans could not have had been built by human hands alone. Science tries to make sense of everything, even if it does not make sense at all. Aliens originated from somewhere and I doubt it was from someone’s head.…

    Have you ever wondered why is there so much "empty space" in space if there are no other intelligent beings we can communicate with? If this would be true, the whole universe would be a complete waste since humans will never be able to explore not one percent of it. Also, there is so much evidence about aliens, so many sightings and encounters that it is very hard to disprove them all. If the theory of evolution is taken into consideration, the possibilities of intelligent life forming only on Earth are so small that it is insane to believe that such a small possibility could be true. There are so many facts and evidence of the existence of alien life, that, today, not believing in them is too close-minded.…

    Between 30 and 50 percent of Americans are convinced that unidentified flying objects (UFOs) are alien spacecrafts. (Williams) Many people who see these flying objects are interviewed or their experience is reported. These objects are very high-tech and unique shapes, such as spheres, triangles, and many are said to be moving at ridiculous speeds. Also, many of these objects were caught on camera but many believe that those images are fake or man-made. Some of these pictures were taken and many did not see the spacecraft until they developed their pictures. Many people are strongly convinced that unique unidentified flying objects that they see are UFOs.…
