The harrowing tales of those that have had real life extraterrestrial experiences. In this episode we ll hear the story of Whitley Strieber, so traumatized by an alien encounter that he almost lost it all--family, career, and his sanity. Also interviewed, a woman that has been abducted multiple times since the age of six and believes that aliens are preparing her for a future event. Alien abduction or abduction phenomenon describe "subjectively real experiences" of being secretly kidnapped by nonhuman figures (aliens) and subjected to physical and psychological experimentation. Most scientists and mental health professionals explain these experiences by factors such as suggestibility (e.g. false memory syndrome), sleep paralysis, deception, and psychopathology. Skeptic Robert Sheaffer sees similarity between the aliens depicted in science fiction films, in particular Invaders From Mars (1953), and some of those reported to have actually abducted people. People claiming to have been abducted are usually called "abductees" or "experiencers".
Typical claims involve forced medical examinations that emphasize the subject's reproductive systems. Abductees sometimes claim to have been warned against environmental abuse and the dangers of technology. The contents of the abduction narrative often seem to vary with the home culture of the alleged abductee.
Reports of the abduction phenomenon have been made around the world, but are most common in English speaking countries, especially the United States. The first alleged alien abduction claim to be widely publicized was the Betty and Barney Hill abduction in 1961.
Strieber asserts that he was abducted from his cabin in upstate New York on the evening of December 26, 1985 by non-human beings. He wrote about this experience and related experiences in Communion.
Whitley Strieber, a well-known author, recounts his alien abduction experiences that eventually lead to his best selling book, Communion.
