Really a case of people reconstructing what they want to remember.
Same with repressed memories etc. chances are these people would score
very high on imaginative involvement scales and would be very
responsive to hypnosis - one blurb from the amazon listing almost
confirms it:

"Her more original contribution, based on her own research, is that
abductees score high on measures of schizotypy (they're far from
schizophrenic, but are prone to fantasy and "magical" thinking) and,
more speculatively, experiencing what in the 19th century was called
hysteria."

Lots of research have found that people reporting abductions tend to
score higher on fantasy proness, imaginal involvement and hypnotic
susceptibility:
