Below are the details of the completion of the first phase of the alien abduction process. About the options for extracting an abductant from a familiar environment and transporting it aboard a UFO, read the links at the end of the article.
“The actual entry into a UFO can be difficult to remember. The abductee can be extremely frightened; he is often confused, dazed and nauseous, and his vision is impaired. It is difficult for him to navigate. In addition, the input procedures can vary depending on the size of the object. The abductees describe UFOs that range in size from 35 [~ 10 m] to hundreds of feet in diameter.
In small to medium sized objects, the abductee will usually go straight to the research room. But in a large UFO, for no apparent reason, it almost always ends up in the entrance room. There the abduct is either lying on the table or standing. In both cases, he is able to move, but reports a feeling of "tingling" and that something "physical" is happening to him. Sometimes apparatuses are visible along the walls and around he can notice a gray "veil" or "fog". The creatures that accompanied the abductant during transportation stand nearby, watching him. After a while, one of the aliens approaches him. He helps the kidnapped to take off his clothes. He grabs his elbow or wrist and leads him down the hallway to the research room.
On rare occasions, the abductee has to linger in the waiting room until a table in the main research room is free. In these cases, it is moved from the entrance room to a narrow, curved waiting area with benches in arched recesses in the wall. This happened to Karen Morgan in 1981. Karen - Janet Demerest's sister - is a businesswoman who owns a public relations firm. When she was thirty-eight years old, she wrote to me that she had an “experience” that might be related to my research. I interviewed her and we ended up doing over twenty hypnosis sessions. During the abductions, her personal strength allowed her to resist under all circumstances and she was extremely collected in describing events. In one of the episodes of abduction, while waiting,she was chained to a bench in the curved waiting area. She saw people sitting in niches nearby, including a red-haired woman.

Are these niches close to each other or are they separate?
Um, they are separate. I see myself and here's someone else and here's someone else, and here's someone else. (He gestures with his hand.)

So there are people nearby?
Yeah, but I don't see them completely. I only see bodies. I can't see their faces.
Are they men or women?
Here is a man opposite me. I don't know who the others are. He wears heavy work jeans and boots and I think a plaid flannel shirt. It's not flannel, it's a cotton plaid shirt. It looks like he's out of touch….
Clear.
I just sit in thought, trying to collect my thoughts, trying to control my thoughts.
Can you sit without falling forward?
I think they attach us. I don’t know why I think so, but it’s so, I’m quite sure of it.
So your back is touching something or …?
Smooth surface.
Are you sitting on wood, metal or plastic?
The closest thing is plastic. I think this is some kind of synthetics. This is not a tree. It is very smooth. I'm not fully aware of it because it doesn't … but it looks smooth. I try so hard to collect my thoughts. I tell myself - don't panic. I repeat to myself, “Don't panic. Don't panic because you've been through this before. This is not a dream, it is actually happening. Look around, look around. Understand what's going on. I do like this.
Can you look around?
I try to stay calm … And then I see his very thick, brown, curly hair. He is young, about twenty years old. It looks like he fell unexpectedly.
Are his eyes closed?
No, it's awful. They are wide open.
Is he looking around or …?
He looks around, he leaves. Okay, then who's next to him is hard to see. Someone with short hair, I think it's a woman. Short red hair, redder than mine. A very petite woman in pajamas.
Is she young or …?
About thirty. I cannot see directly to my right due to the shape of the niche. I only see human legs. I try to think, now I'm confused. I think this man is wearing sandals - these are women's feet. So there are three women (including me) and one man …
Do you have eye contact with (one of the women)?
Yes. Oh, she's so scared. Her eyes are just pleading. She's afraid … She's terrified, she's just terrified. Oh, this is so sad. It's terrible to see someone who is so scared … Maybe I look scared too, though … But I'm not as scared as she is.
While she was waiting for the examination room, two aliens came and took off her clothes. Now it's time to enter the main room.
You know, this time they don't come for us in turn. They take us together. It's just like Auschwitz, like Auschwitz.
How many creatures are there?
I can not believe this. There are eight, two for each person. I can not believe this. I am very angry. It's like being in a concentration camp. They come and just take you.
Are they unbuckling you?
Yes. There are belts here and here. They can also wear them on their feet. I think they do that.
Is this supposed to protect you from falling?
From getting up and running, and from blows, and fighting them …
Now, everyone gets up when they (took off the straps)?
Um, the guy is "leaving." He seems to be falling.
Do they support him?
He's big and I don't think he's easy to handle. He is big. They use something to poke. It may be their hands, but it may not. I don't see him now because he is around the corner with them. I don't think they are having fun there. And then one of them takes my elbow, but I want to free myself and it feels like it's very difficult, as if I'm under water….
Are they taking you all together or are you separated from each other?
This is difficult to define. There seems to be a certain distance between us. Six feet, eight feet.
Do you see a red-haired woman?
She walks along the path. She is very petite. I'm worried about her….
Are you first or second or third in the line?
The last one.
I'm guessing the redheaded woman came first?
Second, the man was first … And they push me forward. And I strain my arms harder to push them away, trying to resist. This makes the aliens go faster, they push me harder. I'm not going to be like these people just wandering around each other. I want to shake their hands off me, their hands off me. (Karen Morgan, 32, 1981)
If the abduct was waiting in the entrance room, now it is time for the main research room. The abduction phase of transporting a human into a UFO is over. These stories are common to all other types of abduction reports, which are extremely detailed and remarkably similar. The evidence reveals the predictable routine that characterizes most abductions. The aliens have a plan and once the abduction event begins, nothing can stop it."
