There are/must be "57 different known species of ETs" OUT THERE.
And then thousands or millions of different species in the universe.
i.e. We have over 10 million species of animals/insects on Earth.

So, I'm looking forward to seeing "Taken".

Although, I prefer the research from Budd Hopkins.

eg.

It is early on an otherwise routine
evening as "Susan," a young New
Jersey mother, puts her 5-year-old
son to bed. He is wearing his
favorite T-shirt, the one with
Barney the dinosaur emblazoned
across the front. A few hours
later, Susan gets herself ready for
bed, slipping on a running suit
her normal nightwear. She dislikes
nightgowns so much she does not
even own one.

In the morning she awakens with an
uneasy feeling, as if something odd
had happened during the night,
something upsetting that she cannot
quite recall. As she throws back
the covers and gets out of bed, she
realizes she is wearing a frilly
white nightgown, a garment she has
never seen before. She stands up
and quickly searches the room for
her running suit, which apparently
has vanished.

On the verge of panic, she quickly
sheds the nightgown; once she is in
her own clothes she feels somewhat
better. She continues to stare at
the discarded gown with disbelief.
How did this happen? Where is her
running suit? Where did the white
nightgown come from? When she wakes
her little son she is shocked to
see that he is wearing a pair of
brown pajamas that are too big for
him. Where is his Barney T- shirt?
he asks his mother. Whose pajamas
are these? What happened last
night?


Susan contacted me a few years
later, not because of this incident
but because of a life-long series
of half-recollections involving
UFOs and strange gray figures in
her bedroom. Her son, too, had
often been afraid to sleep in his
room because of "monsters" whom he
said came in through the closed
window and took him away. It was
only in the context of discussing
these other possible abduction
experiences that Susan happened to
mention the switched-clothing
incident and her suspicion that she
and her son might have been
abducted that night. She added that
her boy had been so heartbroken at
the loss of his Barney T-shirt that
she had had to buy him a
replacement.

Susan was not reassured when I told
her that this was not the first
time a possible abductee had
described waking up wearing someone
else's nightclothes. Several
different investigations I have
carried out suggest the following
sequence of events: During the
night, perhaps 10 or 20 people are
abducted from different locations
and brought into a large, hovering
UFO. In a semi-trance state these
abductees either undress or are
undressed by their captors, their
nightclothes remaining where they
fall. The people are then placed on
tables for a series of physical
procedures (to be discussed in a
later article), and when these are
completed the abductees, still in
an altered state, dress themselves
or are dressed by the aliens for
the return to their respective
bedrooms. It is at this point that
mistakes are made. Stupid mistakes.
Sometimes even ludicrous mistakes.

In one such case, I was working
with a young Ohio woman who had
reported numerous abduction
experiences. She called one morning
to inform me that she had gone to
bed the night before wearing a
recently purchased "Victoria's
Secret" nightgown. When she awoke,
with partial memories of an
abduction, she found that she was
wearing a bulky, extra-large green
men's T-shirt, and her new
nightgown had disappeared. I
commiserated with her, and added
that I wondered what the owner of
the green T-shirt was wearing when
he woke up.

Some alien blunders are so bizarre
that they almost seem deliberate,
though they are clearly tied to
specific aspects of the abduction
process. In one case, a couple
found their automobile engine dying
as a large UFO hovered over the
road nearby. The driver stepped out
of the car on his side, his wife on
the passenger side, and both gazed
up at the UFO in shocked disbelief.
Then, in a seamless joining of
before and after (a classic feature
of missing time) the two found
themselves standing side by side on
the passenger side of the car. The
UFO had vanished, and they both
realized that now, inexplicably,
they were not only on the same side
of the car, but they were also in
their stocking feet. Resting on the
fender in front of them were their
shoes, lined up neatly, pair by
pair, as if the aliens had simply
not had time after the abduction to
put them back on.

Another missing-time case I've
recently begun to investigate also
involves a man and a woman driving
along a highway, this time late at
night. Each recalled seeing a UFO
so large and so well-lit that,
according to the man's description,
it looked like a hovering football
stadium with all the lights
blazing. Several hours had
disappeared from their joint
recall, but when they returned home
and prepared for bed, the woman
discovered that her earrings had
been put in backwards, with the
clips on the outside. Perhaps, I
thought, the bare, unadorned aliens
just don't understand jewelry.

Linda Cortile, the central figure
in the spectacular 1989 witnessed
abduction near the Brooklyn Bridge
in Manhattan, had a somewhat
similar but even more bizarre
experience with an alien blunder.
She awoke one morning, again with
partial recollections of an
abduction, and as she sleepily
climbed out of bed she stumbled and
fell. She immediately discovered
the reason. Sometime during the
night the arms of her pajama top
had been pulled up as far as
possible onto her slim legs,
causing her to trip. Her actual
pajama bottom lay on the floor
beside the bed and she was nude
from the waist up.

I have found cases of alien
blunders during abductions to be
extremely common, and ranging from
laughable to potentially dangerous.
It is virtually impossible to
understand exactly why such things
happen, but an alien mind is,
obviously, alien, and our culture,
clothing, and accoutrements might
appear equally mysterious to a
different race of intelligent
beings.

My colleague David Jacobs, a
pioneer abduction researcher, once
told me about an apparent alien
blunder that is baffling for a
different reason, in this case
having to do with the issue of
time. David had been working with a
young family that had been plagued
with frequent abduction
experiences. One day, the husband
informed David that he was fed up
and was going to try an experiment.
He would write a note to the
aliens, asking them to PLEASE LEAVE
ME AND MY FAMILY ALONE! He would
then tape the folded message, on
which he had drawn a smiley face,
around his ankle.

David wished him well but was
privately quite dubious. Night
after night the man retaped the
message around his ankle, and
morning after morning he awoke,
removed it, and went to work. Days
and weeks passed and nothing seemed
to be happening. But one afternoon
he called David to tell him that
the taped note was missing when he
woke up, and that he had also had
partial memories of an abduction
experience that night. Assuming the
note had just fallen off the man's
leg, David suggested that he search
the bedclothes, the carpets, the
bathroom, and so on. The man
explained that he and his wife had
already taken the bed apart,
scoured the house, and had even
gone outside and searched the yard
and bushes. The note could not be
found. Nevertheless, David asked
them to continue looking.

Two days passed and still the note
had not turned up. Then David
received a surprising call: The
folded paper had been found. "Where
was it?" he asked. "I woke up this
morning," the man replied, "and it
was taped back around my ankle."

With tongue in cheek, one can
speculate that the UFO occupants
originally recovered the note
during an abduction and were
puzzled when they found an
unfamiliar object attached to an
abductee's body. What is it? they
may have wondered. What should we
do with it? Eventually they made a
decision: the next time we take
him, we'll just put it back. No one
will ever notice.
