How to Visit Alien Abduction Sites
Long before "X-Files" creator Chris Carter was a glimmer in his parents' eyes, alien abduction stories were reported around the world. But America's fascination with close encounters of the alien kind really took off in 1961 with the widely reported abduction story of Barney and Betty Hill, an interracial couple from New Jersey.
A recent poll reported in "Psychology Today" says more than 3 million Americans claim to have been abducted by aliens.
With all those supposed abductions, it's strange that only a few have entered alien abduction lore. Among UFO enthusiasts, the places where these famous abductions took place are holy shrines to be visited with the hope of contact.
