The Evolution of Alien Adbuction
is a theory of my own which is free for all.
"Close Encounters Of The Third Kind" and "Fire In The Sky" are movies which highlight the fact that many people all over the world had been physically abducted by aliens while driving or asleep in their homes. The message we all heard was that the process was very scary and very intrusive.
To me alien abduction is akin to conservationists tagging and releasing wild animals. We study animals in their natural habitat by shooting a tranq dart into their rump, then we carry out what ever studies need to be done, then we release them back to where they came from. Sound familiar?
Back in the 60's "Tag and Release" of wild animals was not so nice and harmless. John Wayne starred in a movie called "Hatari" in which they have to rope wild rhinos from an open air Land Rover while the rhino is ramming the vehicle and everyone is within inches of their deaths. Lucky they got The Duke on their side and the rhino comes off second best.
my point is this
Tag and Release procedures have evolved since the 1960's from roping and hog tying animals to incorporate tranquilizing the animal to minimise fear, panic and injury for both parties.
Today it is rare (but not uncommon) to hear of abductees being taken while being completely conscious. It seems that the norm is to abduct victims while they are asleep, to minimise fear, panic and injury for all parties as well.

I'm intrigued by the observation but quite hazy on your theory, what are you trying to say here?
you're showing that we seem to share the same thought process on "tag & release" but i feel like without a deeper explanation on why you're comparing us to the aliens, your post could be cut down to simply saying:

what is the connection between us & the aliens, what is the plan ect, what are your speculations why we evolved like them or they evolved like us in this scenario.
correct me if I'm misunderstanding something

My understandig was that when we first started to observe lesser creatures for research our methods were somewhat cruel by todays standards, As we came to learn more about them we adapted our methods to be kinder to the creatures we observe.
If you were to realate this to the evolution of abduction it could be said that the same thing has happened with Et's and us it could explain the difference between now and then.
It would probably be best in the mini series format. There is just so much to cover.

hahahaha dude that's a killer idea, i'll paste this into a document and keep it with my important files, i'll be sure to write a script for something like that, i'll have to do sooo much research to truly turn this into a fantastic film.
very cool idea i'll make sure to write my adaptation of this sooner or later
