When people think of aliens, their first thought might be of little green creatures with oval shaped eyes. Nowadays people might think of UFO’s, secret files, or even the Area 51 Raid. No matter what one might think of, everyone has heard of aliens or have talked about them. I personally don’t believe in aliens, but it doesn’t mean I’m not open to other’s opinions. I am a victim of watching countless conspiracy videos, one topic being about aliens. Recently watching a video, I became interested in hearing stories about alien abductions. These three alien abduction cases are a bit spooky, but can make someone contemplate the existence of aliens.
- Betty and Barney Hill
On the night of September 1961, Betty and Barney Hill were frightened by a lone light that seemed to follow them. After pulling over to investigate the light, they suddenly woke miles down the road with no recollection of how they got there. They decided to share what they believed happened after weeks of therapy. When they stopped to investigate the light, two grey beings came out of a UFO. They were somehow compelled to board the craft, where they were led to examination tables. They claimed they were stripped and prodded on and samples were taken. This is one of the first and well known cases of alien abduction.
2. Sighting in Mississippi
On October 11, 1973, two men claimed they had an experience with aliens. While Charles Hicksen and Calvin Parker Jr. were out on a fishing trip, they saw a blue craft. When three creatures grabbed at them, they were lifted up into the vehicle and paralyzed. They were put on operation tables and were looked upon by an object that too them, looked like an eye. After the examination, they were dropped off, both sporting wounds on one arm. The police saw them and tried to go after the creatures, according to certain sources, but that has never been proved true.
3. Antonio Villas Boas
This abduction case is about a Brazilian farmer who had a bizarre encounter after seeing a bright light. He saw this light on multiple occasions, until one day, he believed he was abducted. The light brought him onto a ship of some sort and was experimented on. One experiment included having him impregnate one of their females. When he was brought back, he experienced a great deal of nausea, headaches, bruising, and lack of appetite. People find this story less credible since he was able to go into more detail about his experience than the beings themselves.
These are only a few stories of alien abduction, with far more out there. Even though many believe the existence of aliens, there are many skeptics who find evidence against. After researching these stories, my opinion remains the same and I am still a skeptic. Whether or not you decide to believe them or not, the question is always out there.
