After reading a thread about the x-files convincing a doper she was going to be abducted, and another who wouldn’t leave the house after dark (Scariest TV shows ever), I have to wonder, why do all alien abductions only ever happen at night? Are aliens actually vampires - or is it because all of their kick-arse mother-ship lights wouldn’t be as cool and awe inspiring at daytime? An alien masquerading as an Avon lady would be awesome, all those mums to snatch whilst the kids are at school.
Picture it, settled in for some daytime tv, ding-dong, “Hi I’m an alien masquerading as an Avon lady, I’m here to abduct you for a bit”. Mum disappears, only to reappear before the school bell rings, but has no recollection of the last 6 hours. Of course in some cases this could be due to gin and tonics after tennis practice.
Is alien eyesight poor in bright light - except for the blinding overhead surgery lights they use to implant their victims with probes on the mother-ship? Do they fear getting a tan? And now that everyone has a digital camera and camera phones, why have ufo sightings decreased? Why not abduct entire families from remote locations during the day when you’re less likely to be noticed (see arse-kicking mother-ship lights above)? I don’t think these aliens have it quite figured out yet. I might have to pitch as a consultant for them.
Because that’s when we usually dream (No cite for that. Sorry), which is all that the ‘abductions’ are. Dreams.
Until they come and get me, and I have written proof and photographic proof, that’s what I believe.
Well, if you’ve traveled for a number of light years in an advanced space vehicle capable of such completely insane velocities you don’t want to get caught in broad daylight as you anally probe Clem and Billy-Bob. It’s obvious. Well, to me at least.
Because aliens are not morning people. They prefer to snooze during daylight hours and wake up bright and early at the crack of sunset to start their day of abducting and critter-mutiliating.
I wonder if my medical insurance covers probe implantation? I’d hate to wake up one morning with no recollection of the last 8 hours and with a bill for services sitting my nightstand!
Because it’s less likely to rain at night. And everyone knows aliens are allergic to water! That’s why they journeyed across the unfathomable vastness of interstellar space to invade a planet with so much… water.
Well, honestly, I have a day job. A one hour lunch break really isn’t even long enough to warm up the plasma transfer system and bring the nav systems online so I just need to wait until after work, and happy hour, of course, to get things rolling…
Aliens are actualy faeries. In the old days, they kidnapped you and took you to Underhill, wher you got drunk and ha d ablast, then woke up with a blinding headache. Humans stopped believing, however, and the faeries decided to make a comeback by pretending to be something we do believe in. So they made silly costumes and stuck us with anal probes. Serves us right for not paying attention to the faeries!
Here’s an account of a purported UFO encounter and abduction which took place during the late afternoon. The sun was setting, but true darkness had not yet descended on the Vermont camp where the story is set.
