here’s plenty to fret about in this world: the economic downturn, environmental degradation, or snails in the bougainvillea. Reasons for anxiety abound.
Well, let me lighten your load by stating that you can strike the fear of alien abduction from your stack.
This is not a trivial solace. A controversial 1992 Roper poll claimed that 2 percent of Americans were possibly victims of alien hijacking.

2% You could get 2% of Americans to say anything! I bet 2% of people would say they've been held hostage by angry flamingos.

I think most alien abductions are not psychotic illusions, but are in fact real experiences, that only take place in the victims' mind, but aliens are still very much involved.
Travis Walton-esque episodes, I imagine, are extremely rare.

Some of the main point in case you're too lazy to check the article out!
-We can’t breed with another species, despite the occasional barnyard attempt.
-Then there’s the lack of compelling evidence. If 2 percent of Americans are abducted, that’s 7 million victims in the current generation, just in the United States.
I always thought that the majority of Alien Abductions were dreams or psychotic episodes.
But I do believe in ETs, so I'm sure that some people truly are abducted.
Alien abduction is the sum of our fears. Being snatched from a place of safety, sexually/medically assaulted, by big eyed aliens. It just feels like any humans worst nightmare all rolled into one, which makes me think the majority of these abductions are in the mind.
Any thoughts?

My thought is, there is nothing here to prove your subject line.
Merely conjecture. 7 million is alot more than 0.
But I do believe in ETs, so I'm sure that some people truly are abducted.
