Alien abductions do not equal:

Abductions of family members, armageddon and paradise visions,
Charles Bonnet Syndrome, child nurseries, clothing stains,
conspiracy theories, government or military or uniformed staff
involvement, implants of foreign material, kidnappings, little
people, grey aliens, insectoids, reptoids, djinn, Nordics,
macular degeneration, missing time, night terrors, nightmares,
paranormal activities, Post Abduction Syndrome, Post Traumatic
Stress Disorder, reproductive system traumas, scars from normal
wear and tear, screen memories, sleep disorders, sleep
paralysis, UFO=A2s, airships, flying saucers, etc., etc., etc.

But elements of all of the above, and more, have occurred with
alien abductions.

Let's befriend the abductee, collect and quantify the accounts,
and see if together we can stop the abductions.
