I feel sorry for people who are taken in by videos that make these absurd claims about alien abductions. These videos are very one-sided and manipulative.They offer no evidence whatsoever aside from someone's testimony, and that's not proof.
UFO means "Unidentified Flying Object," it doesn't mean they're alien; it just means they can't be readily identified.
Here's a link to Eamonn Investigates: Alien Autopsy. The video shows how the famous 'alien autopsy' film that was released in 1995 was a fake. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7039109606537272722
Whitley Strieber is a fictional writer, and he presents these alien abduction stories with such conviction, but only gullible people would believe them to be true.
Anyone who believes Whitley Strieber's claim that aliens are procreating with human beings is obviously not that intelligent. It's impossible for human beings to create offspring with other species on Earth, let alone with his supposed aliens.
Has anyone checked the background of these people who've claimed to had children with aliens? They could be mental patients for all we know; yet others are so willing to believe these absurd claims.
Dr. Roger Leir is a podiatrist (a foot doctor), not a surgeon as is sometimes reported. That is a fact. He removes objects from peoples' bodies that he claims are alien implants. These objects he removes are "really extraordinary" only to him.
Dr. Roger Leir also spent three years on probation for repeated acts of negligence; those records can be found at the California board of Podiatric Medicine. - source "Penn & Teller: Bullshit!"
Crop Circles are not made by aliens from outerspace. They are made by people here on Earth. Here's the wesite where people are paid to make them (for a fee): http://www.circlemakers.org/

Richard McNally has some interesting things to debunk supposed alien abductions.
Susan A. Clancy, Harvard University postdoctoral fellow in psychology, had this to say:
A memory is not an exact photograph of an event. It is created out of the cues that elicited the memory and the fragments of the original experience that were stored in the first place,
The Alien Abduction Myth: Surrogate Spirituality
1. Alien abduction mythology is memetic: it is a thought contagion.
2. Alien abduction mythology is a surrogate spirituality, just like new age mysticism.
3. Most alien abduction "experiences" follow a fairly typical pattern which is observed in media representations of said "experiences." It is enshrined in popular culture. Anyone who has seen "Taken" or the "X-Files" can construct an elaborate abduction scenario on command.
4. Taking a meme's eye view, we can think of the alien abduction phenomenon as a co-adapted meme complex, or memeplex, much like specific religious belief systems (Catholicism, Orisha Worship, Neo-Paganism, Fundamentalist Christianity, etc...). The memes, woven together, support each other within the memeplex. It is thus a self-sufficient system of belief that does not rely on scientific evidence.
5. Most developed industrial regions, including Asia, North America, and mainland Europe, have their own variations of the abduction myth. The Greys, while ubiquitous in the America, take a backseat to other types of alien creatures which seem to correlate geographically. Ask yourself a question: if all of it is true, why then do "Zeta Reticulans" seem particularly interested in the US and Canada to the exclusion of most everyone beyond North America? Such variation in mythology is temporal as well as geographical: before the "Roswell Grey-type" reports, when little green men were considered the staple intergalactic visitor, most close encounters were attributed to them. Now that the Greys are in, we see that American and Canadian "contactees" describe variations of Greys. Similarly, mechanical beings were at one time nearly ubiquitous in the UK, perhaps due to the popularity of the Daleks and Cybermen of Dr. Who. Alien visitors to the US and Canada, however, tend to closely resemble humanoids from American TV shows like Star Trek and Star Gate, and Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind.
6. I am not suggesting that so-called "abductees" are liars. I think many of them truly believe what they claim to have experienced, but that their sense of reason and objectivity has indeed been overridden by a particularly virulent thought contagion which is so pervasive as to demand far more respect for our society than it deserves, especially when a closer look reveals the typical abduction experience to be largely a disguised spiritual experience.
