Alien "Abductions"

You ever notice how most, if not all alien abduction cases take place in small towns or the country? You never hear about someone in the middle of Manhattan, Toronto or London getting abducted by aliens. I mean, if someone can tell me of a case where someone in the city was abducted by aliens, then let me know and show me a link to a site or something. It’s just that whenever I watch TV shows on alien abductions, it’s always people from farms, small towns and stuff who claim that they’ve been abducted.

OK, and you’re saying that…, what? Agreed, people huntin’ is gonna be better in the city, but discretion is surely the better part of being an alien anal prober.

Well, of course it’s always in an isolated area. We realize that it skews our data somewhat to restrict ourselves to such a small sample pool, but have you seen the traffic around your major cities? If we get one little ding in a landing vessel, the Fujnal would be wearing our gugungas as earrings. Plus, it’s like 30 parsecs to the nearest body shop and they charge a fortune because there’s no competition out here in the boonies. But don’t feel left out, in just a few more molgrebs we’ll be ready to assimilate this planet and then you’ll see plenty of us, everywhere (bwa-ha-ha).

The Greys are only interested in people with 3 teeth, or those married to their cousins.

Alien abductions are a joke. A civilized race with the technology and knowledge to bend space and time to deliver a ship from thier planet/solar system to Earth takes all of that time, energy, research, and productivity just so they can come to Alabama and shove a probe up some yokel’s ass?

Somehow I think it’s not likely.

Anybody ever read Dr. Mack’s book on “Alien Abductions”? It is hard to believe that a Harvard U professor could actually believe this crap! As WELBY pointed out, it makes NO SENSE for these aliens to travel hundreds of lightyears to earth, so they can stick probes in people.
I think this phenomena is like the witchcrat hysteris (Salem in the 1690’s)-some body starts believing a fantastic story, then converts others to the same beliefs.
It is like ESP-yeras of research, billions spent, and still not one shred of evidence!

While I don’t think aliens are buzzing our Iowa house wives I have to disagree with your concept that they would go through all the time/knowledge to just study us.

Isn’t that what we do to new and unusual (and some not so new and unusual) creatures? Science spend millions to study a creature, including studying the internal working of said creature. So why wouldn’t it be feasable that Aliens would do the same?

Certainly we do that, however we study animals that have not built a civilization. Humans, on the other hand, have built a civilization (or what passes for it). Wouldn’t you think that an alien race would be rather more interested in communicating with us than simply “studying” the creatures they’ve found?

You might have a point, except we aren’t travelling through interstellar space to do so. Those animals are right in our own backyard.
Personally, I think the phenomen the OP mentions is proof the aliens must only be interested in rednecks with vivid imaginations. Maybe the LGM’s caught an interplanetary broadcast of “Hee-Haw” and were fascinated by what they saw. I can imagine it now:

Yddcrkxz: “Hey Edztreloiu, get a load of this new broadcast from Earth!”
Edztreloiu: “What is it, Yddcrkxz?”
Yddcrkxz: “It appears to be a mutation in the rural gene pool.”
Edztreloiu: “That’s it! We’ve waited long enough. We’ve got to get some anal probes into these people!”
Lizard hometown population: 3,300

But certainly not the best part :eek:

But they arn’t always in our “backyard” Scientest go to great extreams to seek out the creatures they choose to study. Some spend entire lifetimes seeking only to find one or two (i.e. the giant squid, never seen alive but found washed up on beaches)
They travel great distances, often putting their own life at risk just to find out how they tick. Granted we don’t have to travel to another planet to do so, but if we were capable of travelling through interstellar space I have no doubt in my mind we would be doing a few anial probes our selves.

I love UFO and Psychic phenomenon. It’s an everlasting reminder of just how gullible people are.

So, listen. We’ve got more video cameras in existence now than ever, and the technology of imagery has gotten exquisitely good. How come there are fewer photos which make it past debunkers now than ever?

I mean, if I can Google and find five videos of some loon trying to beat a train and losing, how come I can’t find one credible one of a UFO?

And here’s another question: why our asses? I mean, do they lack the technology to pick a piece of sewage out of a porta-potty if they’re really interested in studying our excrement?
