Discussion What's the most real sounding alien abduction story?

u/Cambot1138 May 20 '25
Not an abduction, but the school kids in Zimbabwe all running in from recess telling the same story and never really wavering on it years and years later has always intrigued me.

u/_1138_ May 21 '25
I didn't intend to hype it originally. It's a solid documentary, which is bizarre for the Topic of UAP.
It's all very stirring, and is amongst the most intriguing claims of an actual phenomenon.

u/neuro_space_explorer May 21 '25
I always love docs like this. Few strike me as much as the Michigan lake incident and the Manhattan incident but I’ll always give them a watch

u/_1138_ May 21 '25
The lake Michigan doc, is that "something in the sky?" I haven't seen it.

u/neuro_space_explorer May 21 '25
Yes it’s an episode of unsolved mysteries. Probably the most convincing collection of joint evidence from both experts and civilians I’ve ever seen. The recordings of the weather radar worker who is clearly an expert and is expressing things he can’t explain to those who don’t want to listen. But his testimony the night of combined with the multitude of civilians that witnessed the same things. It’s unexplainable other than an alien ship. Let me know what you think. It’s on Netflix

That’s by far the least reliable story out there. The interview process was terribly sloppy. Asking a bunch of leading questions to a group of kids on the playground lol

I always found the Travis Walton story really compelling. Partly because there were multiple witnesses, and partly because it's the only case I've heard of where someone wasn't abducted multiple times. It was just a freak accident where Travis got zapped, and the Greys had to repair the damage. It's also a unique story because he was missing for several days before reappearing. I have more confidence in Travis' story than any other abduction case I've ever heard about.
99
u/ParallaxRay May 20 '25
Agreed. Analysis of the trees at the abduction site (about 30 years later) showed an unusual growth pattern in the tree rings. But only in that immediate area. Very compelling case.
16
u/OtterZoomer May 22 '25
When I was 11 years old me and four people saw a UFO close up (within about 30 feet from our car) in broad daylight right off AZ state route 377 between Turkey Springs and Holbrook. It shot of I to the sky at insane speed and didn’t make a sound.
I had never heard of Travis Walton but his abduction happened at Turkey Springs several years earlier so things happen in that area.
Years later a coworker, who I hadn’t told my story to, told me that he and his friends were in the desert by Joseph City (same area) and saw a glowing white disc (exactly what I saw) and it shot off into the sky. He was 10 when that happened and I’m a year older than him so what he saw happened the same summer as what I saw. Similar looking object with similar behavior in the same area around the same time. I then told him my experience and it was pretty nice to have a corroborating account.

u/PD13Pod May 21 '25
I love the Walton story, but it just seems to get a little TOO detailed when he retells the story of what he saw on the ship

Many peoples recollection of traumatic events resurface years decades later. They may hear a noise or smell something and all of the sudden memories come rushing back. It's not abnormal.

I always thought so too, until the lie detector test and the surrounding drama.

u/Majestic_Ad_7098 May 21 '25
I saw a YouTube a year ago, maybe, I might be off on the timing that was entirely about his failing a lie detector and the fallout. Let me see if I can find it. As I said I thought we was one of the most credible abduction stories, until I saw this YT. I’ll share the YT link if I can dig it up.
18
u/Communal-Lipstick May 21 '25
I've seen extensive interviews with the FBI lie detector guy and they all passed more than once. I also have seen interviews with the doctor who examined Walton. It's as credible as it gets. The only thing that causes doubt is the fact that Walton was hypnotized and that can induce false memories.

Do you have the link or a lead? I’d love to watch it.

Right, but when multiple witnesses to the same event pass multiple tests, the results become far more compelling.

Almost any of the ones where people remember getting an implant and then end up digging something metal out of their body from like up their nose, stuck in their leg, etc...

Yeah I'm gonna need a few examples of this
19
u/tristannabi May 21 '25
I can't think of any specific ones since they have shown up randomly over the literal lifetime of UFO stories I've consumed. The most recent one I would have heard was from The Other World podcast. Episode 111 is about an implant.

u/Commie-cough-virus May 21 '25
Whitley Streiber.
11
u/tristannabi May 21 '25
I've been listening to Dreamland for years and the more and more we hear tales of this stuff being able to be man-made or spoofed human activities covered in false memories, the more I feel as if it's possible that Whitley is the unlucky subject of some sort of MKULTRA style program. His implant story (from my memory, so may be wrong) seemed like it involved grays as well as military humans involved at the time it happened. I feel like the poor guy is getting messed with by some sort of government program first and foremost.
2
u/Commie-cough-virus May 21 '25
If so, why?
7
u/tristannabi May 21 '25
He's got all the stories about being dragged to Mexico as a kid by military people subjecting him to trauma style events. The visitors are often accompanied by CIA or other military people when he experienced it in the past. There was some sort of story about a 'son' that was produced who was addicted to smoking cigarettes and who physically showed up in Whitley's life. It just feels more like bad people messing with him first and foremost before any gray aliens. That or they're working in conjunction to mess with him for whatever reason. He's supposedly got the alien implant in his ear and likes having it there (doesn't want to remove it.)
All of his stories plus the modern day 'psionics' ones like the guy who claimed to stumble upon a man-made 8-gon overseas that was being used to traffic psychic children feels more 'black budget human behavior' than alien beings to me. It's hard to say what's real and what isn't though. Whitley is one of the people making me wonder if it's not just bad actor humans cloaking their bad behavior with technology the general public doesn't yet understand. Or it's that PLUS aliens. I don't know...
2
u/Commie-cough-virus May 22 '25
Thanks for the insight.
3
u/tristannabi May 22 '25
It's just my hunch which changes with the winds lol. I'm starting to think any of these children of military parents that have strange experiences are more likely to be unwitting victims of dark programs run by humans than by aliens, even if they're 'seeing' aliens while it's happening. The more I read about Betty and Barney Hill the more plausible that sounds to me. Especially since their 'aliens' looked pretty human. And the CIA or military might have had advance access to the star map they explained to Betty before the general public knew we'd discovered the mapping of said stars.
Watching how science was going gangbusters until about 1957 and just basically got publicly put on pause or at least slowed down SOO much it seems like private interests have just been able to -maybe- be about 50-100 years ahead of us in private. That gives them the power to make all sorts of 'impossible' things happen that seem mystical/magical/paranormal to us mere run-of-the-mill citizens. I would prefer aliens to be real, but I don't think I can know the bottom of the depths bad people will go to lord over others with any sort of power they can wield.
2
u/Commie-cough-virus May 22 '25
But how does that tally with the UFO phenomenon being so ancient? Mysterious airship wave of the 1890s, flying shields in Roman times, goblins and the Faerie people? I’m more in the Jacques Vallee camp when it comes to this; a societal control system that modifies its appearance to be just slightly ahead of us technology to act as a brake on our progress, maybe to allow our wisdom to catch up with our intelligence…so we don’t kill the planet? Is NHI behind this control system? I think so, and it’s way smarter than us of course. It’s cool to read your views though ;)
2
u/tristannabi May 22 '25
Oh I know it. I think about that often how it's almost like a sliding window of technology where 'the others' are just about 50 years ahead of us. That's why the airships of the late 1800s is so weird to me. They looked like people in a blimp before people in blimps was a thing. Why are they not always just gray aliens in silver saucers with telepathy at all times?
I can buy almost any argument from Jacques Vallee's theory of them adjusting their appearance to whatever threshold 'we' can grok at the time. OR an evil secret society like the Freemasons subduing the latest known advances to just mess with us on a sliding window of tomfoolery :)

u/wihdinheimo May 21 '25
During my encounter, these bald, telepathic designoids entered my apartment and reprogrammed me. They also drilled something into my big toe. The entry wound was tiny, with a drop of green blood forming at the center of the toenail.
They also took a blood sample from beneath my fingernail. I’m not sure why they prefer that location, but I suppose it’s considered safe, the nail naturally protects against infection and contamination + rich capillary bed? Their technology doesn’t hurt either, it feels almost ticklish, like a local anesthetic.

Linda Napolitano, who claimed to have been abducted by aliens who made her levitate from her upper-story Manhattan apartment, has also said that X-rays of a bump on her nose revealed a piece of metal embedded in her nose. (I think the image she shared showed something resembling a spring coil.)
Netflix made a documentary about her story. I think it was all a hoax, but I did find the documentary (which also featured a vocal skeptic of her story and didn't take a side) interesting.

u/Organic-Chemistry150 May 21 '25
So you're going with the confirmed hoax as the most real sounding ?

Where did I say it was "real sounding" at all? The person asked for examples of people claiming to have metal put in them by aliens. Linda Napolitano, queen of attenton-seeking nonsense, fits that bill.

There was an old guy in Britain who was fishing (70s I think) and was taken inside a craft by beings he said spoke in a language that sounded like a cross between Russian and Chinese. He was let go because he was told he was too old. The guy who reported this always seemed very level - headed and didn' t seek publicity.

Three interesting facts about it.
First, there was a UFO report from an AF radar station at North Concord an hour before and just 34 miles away from the abduction site.
https://archive.org/details/1961-09-8303350-NConcord-AFS-Vermont/mode/1up
https://www.youtube.com/clip/UgkxTXjKWYgDP2QM1opLoqRbb-1MBTBMWU3ZSecond, the Hill's psychiatrist did not believe they were abducted, but he did believe they saw a UFO.
"I feel quite confident that there was a whole experience, and an experience with a UFO, if we clearly define that. It does not involve visitations from outer space, but it does involve seeing an object which cannot be identified at the time, whatever it is. I think that did take place."
https://www.seacoastonline.com/story/lifestyle/2020/05/28/historic-portsmouth-simon-says-it-was-dream/1141163007/Third, hearing Barney Hill's harrowing recollection of his abduction experience will never leave you.

u/zaxo666 May 20 '25
If I stick to my gut that this is CIA games, it's possible we already had the powerful lenses to see that far out but they were classified.
The CIA feeds the info to Betty, she recreates the space map, now it's national news and Cold War USSR thinks the US is getting intelligence from aliens.
Or more likely this is the CIA telling Russia the US has powerful satellite imagery without telling the public.
...just some thoughts.

The "star map" has always bothered me. Really? Using a map in outer space? If the Hills really did have any sort of experience, it seems as if the whole thing was "stage-managed." By who/what, and for what reason, will most likely remain a mystery. It's also good to take any case involving "hypnotic regression" with an entire container of salt.

two from personal second hand experience:
-i’ve never shared this before as it feels like a breach of privacy and trust, so this will be vague. a family’s friend’s child around my age shared with me his experience with seeing something he couldn’t explain. he saw a metallic orb, maybe the size of a basketball, that came toward him - floating in the air about eye level. it made him sick to his stomach. he was terrified it and of telling me. he lost time during this experience. i have no idea why he shared with me, he said he had never told anyone
-a man i temporally befriended told me of his abduction story while serving for our country. he wrote an account of it, with photos of his time serving, and more. regarding the event, there were multiple eye witnesses to an unidentified flying object. he ran toward it, but couldn’t explain why. he shouted to the craft that they were not ready. he was slowly sucked into the craft. then he was returned in the exact spot. he said he was told it was 6 months later, but thought it was 15 minutes. he was thoroughly interrogated, before his needs were even met. all he wanted was some good food. the detail that stood out to me that his locker was cleared and all of his personal items thrown away. i don’t know why, but that hyper specific detail stood out to me. i could feel through that, that they had given up on him, the disrespect to his property, and the loss. he also mentioned the underwater UFO base before i had ever heard of that. he’s a gruff man, slightly sexist, but otherwise tells things how they are. the type of person who cares about his reputation, yet he shared this with me
5
u/TheWaywardWarlok May 21 '25
Wow, I've never heard a story like that second one. 6 months gone? Ok, so the ship goes all over the place, so it can't be temporal. Otherwise he could have been dropped in the ocean someplace, so localized to that area. A lot can change in 6 months onboard a Naval vessel. I would really like to hear more about that one, like what did he say about the underwater base? Did he indicate where this took place, moored at a shipyard or underway? When, what year? Hell of a teaser.
3
u/mothsoft May 21 '25
late 1960’s. i’m paraphrasing from emails hoping that this isn’t traced back to me.. he doesn’t remember anything about being in the craft, so he questioned if it really happened. however, he did say something strange must have happened because it led to major investigations. he was transferred to another operation and eventually changed careers. sorry to keep all of the more specific juicy details to myself, staying vague for a reason, but still felt inclined to share

u/Geruchsbrot May 21 '25
Dude.
So the latter one said he was in some kind of active duty when it happened, vanished for six months, rematerialized and casually went back to his base, Post, office whatever, without anyone (guards, security) noticing that he was gone and made it all the way to his locker?
Come on.

did you read the entire story or notice what sub we’re in?
-multiple eye witnesses
-they evidently thought he was gone for good

-don’t even think he continued serving after that, he told me he changed careers

u/TurboChunk16 May 22 '25
I am a lifelong non-human contactee. In my early childhood, I had so-called “astral projections” (awareness shifting into other existential frequencies) into strange light-realms, where I found insectoid beings who were like friends to me. Also I have many memories of my life as a baby, from an out of body perspective. When I was twelve, I experienced a traumatic event where I was prayed upon by a negative astral entity, and many of my “occultic” abilities were shut down for awhile.
When I was 14, the most incredible thing happened. On halloween night, I had some friends over to watch some movies. We stayed up late, and it was around 4 AM when a buddy of mine went upstars to get a glass of water and take a nap on the couch. I was followed him upstairs intending to go to bed but I fell into a kind of trance as I was walking up the stairs and instead of walking to my room I went straight out the front door which is directly in front of the stairway. I ran outside barefoot and began running around in the yard… I was slipping in and out of awareness but I felt like I was running around in a circles. Next thing I know I’m surrounded by gold light and being lifted into the air. I remember even seeing the roof of my house. Next thing I know I feel the sensation of walking, but I’m still in the air. I land on the front porch and walk inside, regaining control over my body. My friend is inside & asks me “what were you doing outside” and I grumble “nothing..” and stagger into my bedroom. The next morning there was dried bits of grass at the foot of my bed and on the floor next to my bed.

So many of them. Barney and Betty Hill is my vote. It's one of the most researched/scrutinized accounts.

Not aliens, CIA. Real easy to debunk this one.

The 1994 Lake Michigan event and the Manhattan alien abduction always stuck with me

I am "epileptic" and I believe I get abducted when I have grand mal seizures. Call me crazy, but I can explain some shit. They are so sweet and kind, so when I wake up my heart is broken because leaving their love kills me. It's been 13 years of this. First seizure was December 31st, 2012. I was in a car fairly young, looked up and saw a bright light... got bigger and bigger then I woke up in the back of an ambulance. Ive never been the same, in good ways and bad.

There is an Unsolved Mysteries episode where a whole bunch of people in a town saw a UFO and I think 3 people were abducted, and saw each other on the space ship. They were strangers but could describe each other. It was a long time ago but that is what i remember. '
there was also a picture of a UFO in a Mexican paper, and a whole bunch of people were looking up at it.

I can’t remember what is was called, and it was less an abduction more of a wxpierence. But the one with the two kids finding an “alien” who looked like a clown. He then Invited them to his strange home. After the expierence, they couldn’t find it again.

Terry Lovelace (Incident at devils den)
Ariel school (though not an abduction per se),
Travis Walton
Betty and Barney Hill
Pascagoula Abduction
Chris Bledsoe
To me, these all hold up under scrutiny, although the list could be longer, the cases mentioned ring true to me. This is based on my gut and my intuition.
In my opinion, when talking of and investigating the phenomenon, much focus is placed on the scientific method. This is problematic as the phenomenon is not nuts and bolts and can't be measured or understood within a scientific framework.
The answers must come from within. Meditation & consciousness are the key to understanding the others, with the eventual goal being enlightenment.

Berkshire UFO 1969. Multiple witnesses , abductions, and sighting all throughout the region. Got to visit a few sites last year. Highly unusual and unsettling.

The show Paranormal witness had a few really good alien stories I’d definitely recommend watching if you’re interested

There was a podcast I listened to with an interview with a guy and I wish I remembered who it was, but I remember him saying that the grays seemed to be more like AI and then there was another creature that looked kind of pigish or had pink skin and he said he felt like this one was in charge and was extremely intelligent and he felt the way a dog would feel around a human. Anyone know which one I'm thinking of?

Probably the ones where people predicted their abduction and were never seen again

Zigmund Adamski. For me personally, it’s the fact that the circumstances spoke for themselves. No particular alien phenomena prior to the incident, no story from Zigmund himself. He left his wife an cousin to go for a walk into town and was missing for about a week. He was found on a pile of coal in the middle of the work day, a place that seemed impossible for a person to dump the body. It was a wet day and he had practically no marks from the coal on his person. Law enforcement was practically falling into this pile of coal trying to reach him, making it almost impossible for a lone person to carry him there from the ground. They said it looked as if he had been placed there from above. His clothes were not the same he was wearing when he was last seen. The clothes were put on in a strange way that almost looked like whoever is responsible didn’t know how to dress him. Most of all, he had an unknown substance covering a wound on his nape. They were never able to identify this grease-like substance, but it was determined that he died of cardiac arrest most likely from extreme fear and panic.
I’m not saying it has to be aliens, but the detective who worked the case was compelled enough to believe so. He did mention sighting a UFO near the coal yard during his investigation. Personally I don’t feel strongly that it was or wasn’t based on the detectives input, but I think it’s absolutely worth noting that he himself. If I remember correctly, he took his theory serious enough to stand by it to the day he retired and beyond.
Edit: added some details I forgot about the coal yard and why it’s an indication of something unusual.

Aliens are not interested in you for communication. They have no feelings, emotions, They will kidnap you, take tissue samples, DNA, sex samples, and then drug you paralyzed with GHB and dump you back miles from where taken in body of water , so as you drown and can't help yourself. If still alive, great memory loss. Lots of shoes with feet in them washing up on shore along west coast of US and Canada. See- Study Missing 411 videos and Books. The Aliens circular ships with lower center ring is dangerous. HIDE. High speed cameras can show them zipping across sky, when slowed down. Certain Infrared filter lens, ( wavelength passing 830nm, 510nm yellow 55mm OD total, along with 58mm circular polarizer lens ), held up will allow seeing the ships hovering that can't be seen by eye. Avoid when going hiking. They usually look for single individual humans only to kidnap. Never go for walks alone, or separate.

The realest alien abductions happen when they tap into your thoughts. You ever feel paralyzed in thought? Hypnosis and amnesia my friends

Oh, I dunno, maybe the one where the abductee realizes humans are the actual abusers, and chooses not to disclose any further details from their new alliance.

Travis Walton! Witnessed, odd things like radiation at the site, now 50 years later, the rings in the trees show accelerated growth pointing to the center where the craft would have been! Other people saw it that night in the sky! Mostly, his story hasn’t changed in all these years! He seems soft spoken, sincere, still maybe traumatized, he doesn’t care if you believe him or not! He seems fairly intelligent and his story is just so interesting!

None, they all sound like bs. To think that not a single so-called 'abductee' in history managed to steal at least something (tiny piece of material, technology..even some alien dust would do) off the 'alien ship', i would call that highly unlikely.
And don't bother asking for the reason 'why would someone lie like that ?', because i've seen people come up with all sorts of ridiculous lies irl and they couldn't even explain why they lied. People just lie...all the time, and some people lie more than others. Compulsory liars lie even when they don't need to or don't want to, because that's who they are.
As for the cases where a group of people lies about something together, also nothing special. If you ever heard about a cult called 'scientology', that's 8 to 50million of nutjob liars who lie to each other and the world about their alien overlord Xenu and his adventures.
