You're not going to get much data about this.

But I would be very hesitant to say, oh, well, people aren't getting abducted anymore.

I mean, there's just too many sightings.

If you go into public databases, I'm a big fan of the National UFO Reporting Network, a run out of the state of Washington, the west coast of the U.S.,

And they'll put out between five and 8,000 sightings a year.

And a lot of them are, someone will wake up at two in the morning to go outside and they'll see a dark triangle or a dark object hovering over their neighbor's house at a hundred meters altitude.

And so if that's the case, I have to ask, what's that object doing?

What's it doing hanging out over someone's home at 2.30 in the morning?

Well, maybe that's some kind of interaction that's going on.

There's a lot of those types of sightings that take place.

So I would be very hesitant to argue that there are, you know, abductions aren't happening.

What I would say is that abduction researchers are definitely not garnering the attention that they used to.

And maybe there aren't as many of them.

Well, maybe.

I don't really see a lot of reports that give me the idea that these beings are joyriding or having fun or screwing around at humanity's expense.

I don't really see any of that behavior.

What I interpret, I see behavior of objects that are very elusive,

that appear to engage in the following types of activities.

They appear to be engaged in monitoring.

They appear to be engaged in approaching for a certain period of time.
