The What Do We Know About? series explores the mysterious, the
unknown, and the unexplained. Are there really aliens visiting Earth to
observe and interact with humans?
In 1961, Betty and Barney Hill claimed to have experienced a bizarre
night that included extraterrestrials, flying saucers, and a few lost
hours during which they could recall very little until they underwent
hypnosis. Their mysterious story was just the first of many that have
been told by people who have since come forward with their own similar
experiences. Although there are thousands of people who claim to have
experienced alien abduction, much of the world remains skeptical. Is
alien abduction a real phenomenon that has affected people worldwide or
just an imagined shared experience? Could the US government be working
to cover up these stories? Here are the the facts about what we really
know about Alien Abduction.
