Alien Abduction
Although the number of UFO sightings has steadily increased in recent years, the Boston Globe claims that the amount of people reporting alien abductions has actually decreased. Even so, studies have shown that around 1 out of every 25 people believes that aliens have abducted them at some point before!
One of the most famous cases of purported alien abductions is the Betty and Barney Hill case from 1961. This was before people even set foot on the moon, making the revelations from this case seem even more believable. Perhaps that could explain what on Earth happened to this Reddit user.
