A Skeptical Analysis on Alien Abduction
- Explain how (hypnagogic and hypnopompic) sleep paralysis and accompanying hallucinations contribute to “abductees” believing they have been kidnapped by aliens.
- Folklore in many cultures claim that sleep paralysis is caused by a demon, incubus, succubus, hag, witch, or ghost sitting on the sleeper’s chest. Explain how the existence of this folklore is strong evidence against alien abduction.
- Explain why hypnosis is not a reliable technique to recover memories of abduction by aliens (or anything else).
- Explain how the great distances to other stars and their planets is good evidence against Earth being visited by extraterrestrials.
- Many abductees claim to have given birth to human/alien hybrid babies. Carl Sagan notes that a human being would have a far better chance of reproducing with a petunia (flower) than an extraterrestrial from another planet. Explain what Sagan means.
