Hubber pgrundy wanted to know what I think about alien abductions and why people have these experiences so this is an attempt to answer.

First of all, I'd like to say that I believe there are several things going on that account for the abductions reported. There are ET or alien beings from several races that have been doing this, and include the greys, who are the best known ones, and also there are secret military and mind control operations going on carried out by humans using a variety of means to trick their victims into believing they have been taken by aliens. Then I am sure there are the people who make claims just to get attention and have made up their stories based around the very large amount of material that exists on the subject.

There are books like Communion by Whitley Strieber, and films like Close Encounters of the Third Kind and Fire in the Sky about abductee Travis Walton that have popularised the subject and brought it well and truly into the public arena worldwide.

About the aliens said to be doing this abducting there are many theories and explanations, including that they are experimenting on us and doing research and that they are engaged in some cross breeding program. That victims are taken against their free will and are often terrified and physically abused suggests that the beings doing this are not friendly to us. It is often claimed that abductees are implanted with physical implants with purposes unknown. However, it can also be argued that these unpleasant abductions are actually done by humans disguised as aliens and part of the reason why is to give ETs a bad name and make people regard them as the enemy.

A good friend of mine who has described one of her friendly abduction experiences when she was taken to an otherworlders' base and shown around it is Karen Lyster. She did an Internet broadcast along with Dan Willis who was a witness in the Disclosure Project, on Captain Jack's show.

The blurb about Karen says: "Karen Lyster has been a UFO Researcher for over 25 years. She has had personal contact with different Off Planet Cultures which has spanned a lifetime. They have even saved her life on more than one occasion. These encounters have left her with abilities such as visions of extreme earth changes, prophecy, telepathy to name a few."

Her part of the show is here but you have to wait for the ads and Capt Jack to finish talking before Karen speaks. She is well worth waiting for:

Linda Moulton Howe is a well respected UFO researcher as well and I haveincluded videos of her research conducted over 10 days at the abduction site in Brazil of the controversial Urandir Oliveira abduction.

And finally, here is an interview with Alec Newald who was abducted from where he was in New Zealand for a period of 10 days and taken to a world called Haven. His book Co-evolution comes highly recommended by me.
