Abduction Phenomenon
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 abductees undergo hypnosis before relating their accounts.
