Could you have visited by aliens?

It is hard to estimate exactly how many people think that they have been abducted by aliens! But not so long ago researchers found a document which was produced in 1993 which actually turned out to be a survey on alien abductions.

Apparently at the time there were some 3.7 million Americans who believed that they were suffering from a problem known as UFO abduction syndrome. Prof. Ted Goertzel at Rutgers University came up with a test, if they recognised four out of the five questions then they may have been abducted.

1. “Waking up paralyzed with a sense of a strange person or presence or something else in the room.”
2. “Experiencing a period of time of an hour or more, in which you were apparently lost, but you could not remember why or where you had been.”
3. “Feeling that you were actually flying through the air although you didn’t know why or how.”
4. “Seeing unusual lights or balls of light in a room without knowing what was causing them.”
5. “Finding puzzling scars on your body and neither you nor anyone else remembering how you received them or where you got them.”
