Alien Abduction

While viewing the lecture slides, I came across a video that really stuck with me. It was about a group of workers in the desert that saw an unrecognizable object and wanted to investigate. Before this class, I was not a huge believer in the alien theory and am still not. However, this particular instance made me second guess my beliefs. The man who went to explore the unknown object seemed really trustworthy to me. It seemed as if he wholeheartedly believed he was abducted by aliens. When he went to check out the supposed "aircraft" his friends and co workers abandoned him. He went missing for days and was found at a completely different location than where the sighting had taken place. But to the man it felt as if it had all happened within the same night. When he reached out to his family from a payphone they told him he had been missing for days. Of course afterwards, skeptics called him a liar and that he hallucinated the whole thing because of drug use. To me this seemed unlikely because the workers he was with had the same exact story he did leading up to the "abduction". In addition, the Sheriff from the town where it took place recalled how shocked and scared the other men were while they were being interviewed. Overall, this video changed the way I look at alien encounters and stopped me from being a complete skeptic.
