Without commenting on individual abduction cases, the general descriptions of aliens fits what I would expect from an extremely advanced technological culture. Such as: Minimized Individuality ( or none!) Take a good look at our technology and consider that we have progressed from spears to guns to missiles to near doomsday weapons that could be loosed by one individual. You have to wonder if the only way an advanced tech culture could exist is if they telepathically share thoughts and thereby avoid Lee Harvey Oswald/Bin Laden - ish behavior. A Propensity to Fabricate. Does this seem odd? Well, if you were telepathic with a hive like mind ( see above) , you might feel that lesser beings 'can't handle the truth' (like us). Have you ever known any people deeply involved in clandestine activity? Ever notice how they switch back and forth between entirely credible accounts and wild BS stories? They do it because they will never get caught telli(ng a dangerous truth that way. You can't tell when they are kidding you - or not. Take a look at Howard Hunt or Ali Aja (the Pope's attempted assasin) An advanced race would also know something about humans that we often can't understand - fantasy works better than truth for motivation. How many '70's engineering students plowed thru calculus because of the image of Scotty on Startrek? (not a joke, this came up in studies) How many wars - filled with the most extreme self sacrifice - are based on fantasies? I would also expect that descriptions of alien "religion" would sound very "Buddhisty" to us. Finally, an advanced race would explore the final frontier : how to manipulate reality itself including all consciousness and matter.......... See that Airship? (1880's) that Flying Saucer? That Silent Black Helicopter? A Fairy? An Angel? A Grey? Whatever you expect, we can synthesize.
