I was watching this 'documentary' on alien abductions.
Notice how the woman is clearly just lying:
1) Looking away and down to the right. It means that she's recalling untrue events that she's experienced (as opposed to looking away and up to the right, which is recalling an untrue event you've seen), or looking away and directly to the left, which would be recalling untrue events you've heard.
2) There's no stress in her voice. She sounds like she's talking about a movie she saw, rather than a traumatic experience upon which a medical experiment was performed on her. If you view footage of women who've actually been raped compared to women who lied about it, you'll see the sorts of differences i'm talking about.
3) disfluencies (uh and uhms) are too common (as well as speech correction) for someone telling the truth.
4) mouth shrug (brief frown) which is also a sign of a lie.
5) Use of the past tense: She speaks about the whole thing entirely in the past tense. This can be an indicator of psychopathy (if it were true), but it's also an indicator of lying. People who have suffered a trauma often speak about it repeatedly in the present tense (even if it happened a while back) because, in their minds, they're reliving the event as they recall it. This woman clearly isn't and is, therefore, full of ****.
6) her account of the 'hybrids'. She basically says they injected sperm into her egg and made a hybrid. Biggest load of bollocks I've ever heard. Genetics simply doesn't work that way no matter what kind of technology you have.
So, she's obviously lying.
But the question then is: Are any of these stories true?
Answer? NO.
Why?
Why would beings who have just flown across the galaxy/universe/whatever or come from another dimension in a space ship then proceed to experiment on people like 19th century doctors using primitive medical equipment (drills, etc?). WE have more advanced techniques than this (3d imaging, etc) and we can't build spaceships like aliens apparently can.
Technological trends indicate that the more advanced you are, the less likely you are to send manned vehicles into space. Back in the 60's we sent men to the moon because we had no way of finding out what it was like there. Once we'd invented unmanned craft, we stopped sending people. If we could develop a telescope that could see a penny on the surface of mars from earth, we'd stop sending craft into space altogether, there'd be no need.
The fact we have telescopes that see other galaxies means that they have better ones than us and, therefore, less reason to come within earth's atmosphere even if they do have spaceships still (although it would be highly antiquated to do so by that point).
Also, abducting people is a very primitive way of doing things. Back in days of yore, if you wanted to question a spy, you abducted him and tortured him to find out what he knew. Then we developed sensitive surveillance hardware and it was no longer routine to abduct spies just to find out what they knew - you could get a general sense of what they were up to using remote surveillance equipment. Thee same would be true of aliens in relation to finding out about the earth, just incredibly more advanced.
Then there's the exobiological problems. The typical 'grey' biologically speaking hints at a creature that grew up in a planet distant from the sun (hence the large eyes for seeing nocturnally) and with low gravity (hence the spindly limbs - you don't need muscle mass in low gravity). That means the moment they stepped out of their craft, they'd be reduced to a rather unappealing pancake type affair.
