Many individuals claim to have been taken aboard UFOs, and most tell similar stories. These abductees find themselves in a domed and circular room filled with bright light, and cold, damp air. They are placed on an examining table where the aliens conduct a medical examination using strange scanning devices. Biological samples, such as hair, skin, and genetic material are taken. After the examination, they are shown a three-dimensional image, usually of some very emotional situation, such as a planet devastated by war or natural disaster. The aliens seem interested in understanding human emotions. They seem to communicate psychically, instructing the abductees to forget what happened. They then predict future events, often disastrous, and they promise to return.

After the abduction, the witness often remembers little, notices that a certain amount of time has passed without explanation, and exhibits physical or psychological symptoms indicating that something unusual has happened. Unfortunately, by most accounts of alien abductions, a person in this situation has very little control and simply may not be able to do anything to prevent what is happening.

Although no one can prove that people are actually taken aboard UFOs, if you should find yourself in this predicament, try to remain calm. Observe and remember as much as you can; even ask questions. Try to grab something and bring it back with you as evidence of your experience. As in life, having faith, courage, a sense of humor, and using your intelligence will help you deal with the most unusual situations.
