In the history of UFO research, many people have tried to estimate how many individuals
might have undergone abduction experiences. According to a 2002 nationwide Roper
poll, 2.9 million Americans are reporting unusual experiences consistent with
those related to the UFO-abduction phenomenon.
The following test was designed by UFO-abduction-research experts Budd Hopkins and Dave Jacobs to determine the likelihood that an individual has had a UFO-abduction experience. Please review the following list of experiences that might or might not have happened to you at some point in your life, as either a child or as an adult, or both. For each item, please indicate whether this has happened to you once or more than once, or never.

It is difficult to know with any certainty whether you have been an alien abductee. To date, no one has been able to offer concrete proof of the phenomenon. Yet there are many people in the world who claim to have had this experience. With no proof and conflicting opinions, how can you know if you have been taken?
Most people who claim to have been abducted exhibit similar characteristics. Whether there are lingering effects of abduction is still a subject of heated debate. The SCIFI.COM UFOlogy Resource Center has collected the 58 most common signs of abduction. If you exhibit some or all of these signs, you may want to consider the possibility that you have been taken. Remember, this is by no means proof that you have had an abduction experience. Instead, consider these questions a tool to compare your experience with those of others.

By Richard D. Butler
In an effort to simplify the reporting and matriculation of abductions, Richard D. Butler devised this system to categorize the most common types of abduction experiences.
AE-1
- Lucid Dreaming
Lucid Dreaming is the act of dreaming while in a semiconscious
state. The subconscious mind guides the dream. In lucid dreaming cases there is
no extraterrestrial influence.
AE-2
- Telepathic Lucid Dream
Lucid dream experiences influenced by exterior
stimuli. It is theorized that a Telepathic Lucid Dream is achieved via technology
that enhances psychic ability, allowing the intrusion of the subject's subconscious.
In cases of Telepathic Lucid Dreaming, the subject reports the dissociation of
the typical dream state and the insertion of messages and scenarios that often
induce a feeling of dread. If the subject awakens immediately afterward, they
report a circle of glowing whitish-colored energy on the ceiling, approximately
two to three feet in diameter, with a shaft of similar energy slowly retracting
back into the circle. This shaft usually is approximately three to six inches
in diameter and two-point-five to four feet long.
AE-3
- Psi- or Bio-Energy Field Extraction
The extraction of a "conscious
energy field" from a subject. Subjects usually describe a feeling of "deep
penetration" throughout the body followed by a pulling sensation. This is
the abduction classification that accounts for "missing time" experiences.
AE-4
- Physical Abduction
The physical removal of the subject from their
natural environment to an alien environment. In almost all cases the subject reports
a sensation like "being drugged" and are removed from the scene with
military precision to an alien craft. Most abductees report being subjected to
various physical tests and procedures once aboard the craft; such experiences
typically include physical exams, genetic experimentation and sperm and ovum extraction.
After the experiments are concluded, the subject is returned to his or her original
location relatively unharmed.
AE-5
- Past Life Recall
This process uses hypnosis to bring memories of
past lives to the conscious mind. Abduction cases using Past Life Recall often
represent events of past lives where the subject lived as an alien. Subjects relate
being in an underground military facility, sometimes on Mars, the Moon and even
under the Earth's oceans. This suggests two very interesting possibilities.
A. During telepathic communication some memories are subconsciously transferred.
B. The subject is recalling actual past life memories of their own.
