For decades, the topic of alien abductions has remained relevant to researchers of anomalous phenomena. Among ufologists, such cases are called abduction. Ufologists have recorded hundreds of stories from those who considered themselves victims of abduction, often with many details: the place and method of the abduction, the appearance of the abductors, the type of experiments conducted (operations, vivisections), etc.
All these cases, of course, tried to somehow systematize in order to reveal the similarities and differences in them. Russian ufologist Vladimir Azhazha provides impressive statistics on abduction descriptions based on the work of foreign ufologists John Mack, Dan Wright and others.
Ufologists analyzed 317 documents (protocols of the abducted persons' testimony, records during retrospective hypnosis). 27 men and 58 women were interviewed. In 10 cases, representatives of both sexes participated simultaneously. There are 95 cases in total. Some of the abducted subjects have encountered more than one alien creature and under different circumstances.
Abduction site
In most cases, the place of the abduction is at the home (usually the bedroom) 15 subjects named other locations: 10 of them were abducted from cars, 6 from beach cabins or campgrounds.

Invisible presence
28% of subjects felt the presence of aliens rather than saw them. This happened hours, minutes or seconds before eye contact. In other cases, an invisible presence was felt among different episodes, but there was no close contact, that is, contact of the 4th kind. Recognition manifested itself either as tingling from electricity or buzzing in the head, or as tapping in the room. In some cases, the subject “just knew” that the aliens were present.
Types of transportation
Most do not remember how they were taken on a UFO and returned back. 4 people remembered a small capsule in which they were placed. Levitation was still the most frequent - movement without any devices, noted in 33 cases.
In 17 cases (mostly outside the home) the abductees were lifted into the air using a beam of light. On 20 occasions, the subject was lifted out of bed and carried through closed windows, doors, walls, ceilings; the abducted person did not see the presence of light or beam.
Types of UFOs associated with abductions
Only 55% of abductees have ever observed an anomalous object (and even less during the abduction). In 31 cases, the abductees saw the following types of UFOs: disc-shaped saw 22 people; spherical - 8; cylindrical - 6; rectangular - 3; oblong - 3; asymmetric - 1; conical - 1.
UFO vivisection environment
The first thing that abductees often see is an elongated hall or tunnel. In 35 cases, this tunnel was quite long and winding. Then the abductees enter a room that resembles an operating room or a dentist's office.
The room is described in 29 cases as having a round or domed shape. In 18 cases out of 31 it was dominated by white light; at 11 - gray (metallic); in 3 - black walls. 32 subjects reported poor lighting on board; 25 - a very bright room; 13 - semi-dark or completely dark. Several subjects met with both options.
The furnishings of the room included variations of our usual objects. The most common furniture items were kitchen shelves, computers, and screens; 52 people saw tables (usually they are hard, smooth, narrow, on one support, sometimes raised high, lowered low, or shaped like a reclining chair); 17 - screens and displays; 16 -computers; 11 - chairs; 10 - shelves and racks; 10 - cabinets; 6 - benches.
Devices
Devices likely to be used for certain medical procedures (such as scanning a subject's body) are usually attached to a wall, mounted on a moving cart, or suspended from a ceiling. 46 subjects saw one or more devices.
Tools
A small object held in hand (eg a syringe with a needle) was described by 44 subjects. In 61% of all cases, both devices and instruments (medical intervention) were present. Subjects did not have their joints twisted or probes inserted into the body (there have been cases of fine needles penetrating the body).
Alien movement
In 31 cases, the aliens constantly walk (in the house, on the ground, in a UFO); at 25 - "slide" or levitate; at 10 - the same aliens (alien) both walk and levitate. In 3 cases, a shuffling gait was observed, in 2 cases - jerking movements with "sharp jerks".
Body structure
44 subjects provided evidence of body composition. In 33 cases they were “thin”, “fragile” creatures; at 10 - "muscular", "squat", "strong"; in 2 - creatures with normal human constitution.
Height and physique
In 66 cases, subjects reported the height of the kidnappers, but not with a high degree of probability, as the observations were often conducted from an awkward position on a bed raised to an unknown height. However, in 57 cases, one type of alien was called a "small" creature - from 3 to 4.5 feet (91.5-137.25 cm).
In 47 cases, a higher being was mentioned. In 10 cases it was said about the "tall" type - 6-7 feet (183-213.5 cm).
Eyes
Large eyes, almond-shaped, usually black, became the i-th of the description of creatures in literature. But there are others. In 11 cases, the pupil, the iris surrounded by a white field was clearly visible; in 3 - the vertical pupil of the "cat's eyes". Eye color: 35 cases - black or dark; 4 - green; 3 - blue; 3 - brown; 2 - golden.
Mouth
20 out of 25 subjects reported that the mouth of the aliens formed a thin line (slit), no lips, or said the opening was very small; in 3 cases, the mouth looked like an "O"; 2 - there was no mouth.
Nose
In 30 cases out of 33, there was a slight elevation above the two small nostrils; in 5 cases there was no nose; in 1 - the usual "human" nose.
Ears
Alien ears were mentioned in 25 cases; at 18 - ears were not visible; in 6 - a protrusion with a lobe of a special shape; in 3 - a depression on the side of the alien's head.
Alien skin
A total of 14 skin types were observed. "Grays" (grays, grace) dominate the abductors. 38 subjects met with grays or gray-white, 19 - with "white as chlorine", 18 - the skin of the creatures was dark, 8 - blue; 7 - green (in other words, the term "green man" is confirmed in a minimum of cases).
13 cases - creatures with a luminous aura are described; 5 - creatures that look like shadows, almost intangible; 6 - the skin was "thin" and "translucent"; 17 - "smooth", "plastic" skin, noted in low creatures, as it were, of a working type; 15 - creatures with pronounced wrinkles (they were considered "old" and, apparently, significant figures).
Thirteen subjects perceived (more often during medical examinations) alien touch as cool or cold (are these creatures warm-blooded by our standards?).
Smells
On 18 occasions, the subjects noted a specific scent that was not similar to conventional odors. Four smelled their burnt hair or body, and six noted an unpleasant smell coming from the aliens.
Alien clothing
In 24 cases, it is said that the aliens who were on the UFO and looked like leaders wore a "robe", "cloak" or "cape"; at 23 - tight-fitting suits. In 14 cases, the aliens, those in the "supporting roles", were naked (it is possible that the tight-fitting suits of light color could be mistaken for alien skin).
Dark robe of no specific color was noted 21 times; 18 - white, 6 - silvery shiny, 4 - brown. Sometimes there were different stripes on clothes, 9 people saw some kind of emblem on tight-fitting suits.
Leaders
In 29 cases, a particular alien played a leading hierarchical role. Sometimes it was the one who led the "outside team" during the abduction, but more often it was the "doctor" on board the UFO who directed or performed medical manipulations, or the "old" who oversaw the entire process.
Observation and gazing
In 47 cases, deliberate gazing of a subject on board a UFO is mentioned (ufologist David Jacobs characterizes "gazing at close range" of a subject as a "scanning of consciousness" procedure). Researchers attempted to separate two concepts - "staring at close range" and "control and watchful gaze of the guard"; in 39 cases, the subjects felt a point-blank gaze by any one being, which was always one of the "leaders"; on several occasions, subjects stated that this was a scan of their intelligence. Most of the abductees did not like this experiment. In 7 cases, the subject was left alone in the UFO for a long time, but no one tried to escape.
Verbal communication
Two-thirds of the 95 subjects reported verbal communication with aliens (possibly telepathic). Some claim to have been spoken to in perfect English; others had difficulty catching the meaning of the aliens' thoughts and filling it with nouns, verbs, adjectives, etc. Occasionally, the subject will recall a long conversation on various topics with a specific alien.
The content of the conversations with the kidnappers was mainly of three types: procedural, non-procedural, but related to the event, and post-event. In 45 cases, both procedural and non-procedural phrases were simultaneously noted; at 25 - only procedural phrases (brief instructions) related directly to the subject (typical commands are “quiet!”, “calm down!”, “feed the child!”); at 35 - non-procedural phrases and beliefs of the subject ("everything is fine", "we will not do you anything bad", a little less often - "come with us", "stay here", "it's time to go back", "sleep now"); at 28 - post-event negotiations (“forget”, “can't tell” to someone or “remember” the meeting). I vaguely recall instructions to do something in the future (!).
Vote
A fifth of the subjects heard the intelligible voices of the creatures when communicating with each other. In 6 cases, they heard whispering and chirping speech (apparently, a language with no vowels); in 5 - sounds of a low tone, consisting of either grunting or muttering. No one understood a single line made in the language of aliens, although many tried to do so.
Wordless communication
37 people noted receiving instructions or other information in a non-linguistic form (images, gestures, demonstrations); 28 cases - images (on the screen, or in holographic form, or projected into the subject's brain); 4 - gestures (the creature stretched its arms up or indicated with a gesture, which was clear to the subject); and character demonstrations.
During the display of images, in 9 cases the image of an animal was shown, more often - an owl or a deer (this was especially often shown to children); in 12 - images of the Earth in the past or the future, from dinosaurs to earthquakes, dying forests and nuclear wars (more often this is shown on board a UFO); at 10 - images of the extraterrestrial world (rocky deserts, strange-colored skies, entire planets or star systems).
Demonstrations of something are found in the third part of all cases, include one or more tangible things shown to the subject at some point or when viewed from a UFO: 17 subjects saw hybrid babies or incubators containing embryos in development (the most dramatic demonstration); 12 - hybrids of older children or adults.
Emotions
In contrast to the opinion that aliens are devoid of any emotions, in 54% of cases there is a reaction (positive or negative) and behavior similar to human. In 12 cases, negative manifestations are noted (irritation or dispute with the subject or other aliens); at 7 - fear; in 2 - frustration, sadness, threatening gestures; in 1 - violent behavior.
Positive emotions were expressed more often: in 25 cases - care, compassion, manifestation of love; at 23 - friendly feelings; in 8 - humor, laughter or jokes, in 6 - satisfaction from the behavior of the subject. 10 subjects noted a strict, emotionless behavior of the "leader".
Close relations
Many subjects recognized their abductors (one of the abductors) from previous abductions. Of the 95 cases, 34 the subject recognized one or more aliens. On 10 occasions, subjects telepathically heard their own name spoken by aliens. On 18 occasions, the aliens told the subjects that they were "chosen" and were "special." Familiar creatures, the heard name and assurances of a special choice were met in total in 44 cases.
The shackles of the abducted
61% of subjects are convinced they felt some kind of stiffness, especially when lying on the table in the ship (indirect evidence suggests that other subjects experienced the same effect). In 51 cases, some invisible force "paralyzed" people; at 22 - there was an effect of complete or partial "numbness"; at 4 - people were still tied to the table.
Altered consciousness
At some point in the abduction, the subject experiences a change in consciousness. Sixteen subjects spoke of consciousness “out of body” (“look, from the air,” “out of my body,” “jumped out”), which is not like the state into which the hypnotist induces the subject to awaken his memory.
Sleep (aboard a UFO, and more often before medical intervention) was used in 22 cases, and this was usually the last memory of the subject before returning (home, to bed, etc.). In 49 cases, subjects experienced states of "amazement," "embarrassment," "daze," or "shock" during part or all of the abduction episode.
Taking samples
12 subjects recalled that the aliens took tissue samples: scrapings from the ankles, hands, feet and inside the mouth; pieces of nails and hair were cut off; straight and round incisions were used to remove tissue. Others do not remember it.
Dizziness, nausea
Twenty subjects felt dizzy or nauseous during one of the abduction stages. This was more often felt during levitation at the time of the abduction.
Pain
Severe pain is thought to be a common symptom of close contact, but it was not mentioned in 58% of cases. In 40 cases it was not pain in the whole body, but in separate parts of it: 13 cases - the skull; 7 - back, liver; 5 - nose; 5 - ear. Localized pain can mean implantation (insertion or removal of something).
Many descriptions say that small objects were implanted into the body or, conversely, tissue was taken without causing any inconvenience to the subject.
Feel
Half of the subjects recall a series of genital-related moments (sperm collection from men and eggs from women, fetal removal, and moments of sexual orgasm). Of the 68 women, 43 recall gynecological procedures. Out of 37 men and young men, 7 recalled that an apparatus was placed on their genitals, after which there was immediate arousal (most of this episode did not bring pleasure). In 13 cases, men and women recalled orgasm with pleasure.
Effects
One third of the subjects reported physical consequences: in 13 cases, nosebleeds; at 12 - scars and cuts; in 6 - headaches; in 4 - recovery from previous diseases.
Meetings with other abductees
In 30 cases the abductees met one or two people on the UFO, who, judging by their clothes and behavior, were also abducted. Usually there was no communication between them. Some believe they recognized individuals who had met in previous abductions.
Many ufologists who have studied this statistics are sure that the phenomenon of abductions (in a more general case, the UFO phenomenon) is conceived in such a way as to constantly take us, people, beyond the brink of reality.
Vladimir Azhazha, after studying this statistics, writes:
“And what the devices recorded and the data obtained as a result of retrohypnosis can mean another camouflage of unknown intelligent forces, a disguised mystery that leads us away from the correct understanding of what is happening, from understanding the mission that aliens carry on Earth, abducting and returning people …"
