Suppose the stories of alien abduction are true, that would rule out a lot of possible human technological developments over the next few hundred years. Would it not? Aliens are far more technologically advanced than we are, they have far more developments right now than we can hope for in quite some time. With that said, what things that exist in sci-fiction that will never exist in real life?

>Mind uploading

There has never been an alien abduction story where a person was probed by a machine hosting the mind of an alien. In fact, why would aliens keep their fleshy bodies if they could mind upload? Seems to me that such a thing isn't possible.

>Perfect mind wiping

The fact that people can still remember some details, at all, about their abductions means that even aliens can't completely wipe people's memories.

>Memory alteration

I also haven't heard of a story where someone had a fake memory in place of their abduction. They usually just blank out. If aliens could alter memories, they would use this instead of leaving suspicious holes in people's memories.

>Complete genetic overhaul

If an alien can edit their genes to the point of genetic perfection, all alien species would have the same/similar perfected mutant form. You can argue that maybe they are just one alien species, and the different "breeds" of aliens are just specialized for whatever job they do. But to that I ask, are the forms they take really suited for their job? How does a reptilian body make your job easier?

>Get supplies of humans from governments

Why abduct humans in the first place if they're covertly working with major world governments? Just about any first world country can very easily make a person disappear, and hand the human over to an alien. America makes children and adults disappear all the time for trafficking or other purposes. The fact that aliens have to abduct humans, rather than get them from their nearest black market, means that they either prefer this method over quiet supplying, or they are not working with governments at all.

Anything else we can deduct from alien abduction stories?

>Mind uploading

There have been aliens that have been described as robot-like. Even the grays are not really alive according to some witnesses. There's also the possility that they're so far beyond our capabilities, that machines are too primitive for them. According to some accounts, everything an abductee experiences during the abduction is fake, even the aliens and the spaceships themselves - which has lead some researchers to believe that we're dealing with a metaphysical phenomenon.

>Perfect mind wiping

Currently we don't even really know whether memories are stored in the brain or somewhere else outside the body. If the latter is true, it could be extremely difficult to completely block someone's memory of an event. However, there's also the possibility that those details remembered by abductees are fakes implanted by aliens or whatever it is; after all we have no way of knowing what actually happened.

>Memory alteration

Fake memories are well known to researchers, they call them "screen memories". It's supposedly a very common situation: usually a person thinks he saw normal people or animals, but then through hypnosis he's able to see their true faces and realizes that he was abducted by aliens.

>Complete genetic overhaul

There is no such thing as "genetic perfection": one type of body might be an advantage in a certain environment and completely useless in another. Besides, once a species is advanced enough, all that matters for survival is intelligence.

>Get supplies of humans from governments

I think it depends on what you mean by government, because there are many different groups that are technically part of the government, but don't work with each other and don't share information…

Those are very common, for example, in David Jacobs' books. Or one of Karla Turner's ones had a story where a memory of an intercourse with an alien was replaced by an intercourse with the husband. Of course you're right, people still can bypass those sometimes so the process isn't perfect. I mean the brain and genetics and stuff is really complicated.

So metaphysical that greys have to piss from their pores.

>those details remembered by abductees are fakes implanted by aliens

A good abduction would result in the abductee not knowing he/she was abducted. Any shred of memory compromises the mission.

>type of body might be an advantage in a certain environment and completely useless in another

I already mentioned all this about specialized mutated bodies through gene editing. My point was that the mutated bodies of choice that aliens have seem really lackluster to me. How does a reptilian body help an alien? It doesn't a whole lot.

>there are many different groups

CIA likes to traffic things.

>but don't work with each other and don't share information…

For their alien overlords, I would think they can make an exception.

>Any scrap of memory compromises the mission

That's assuming you know their mission, which we don't. It could be that their memory erasure is imperfect on humans, they don't know/care if there are retained memories, or that abductees retaining some memories is advantageous to them in some way. Your claim is analagous to "any intercepted communication compromises the war effort" but of course that's not true, deliberately placed misinformation or only partially correct information which you know an enemy will intercept and act on is very advantageous for example.

>How does a reptilian form aid them? It doesn't really.

Impossible to know that it doesn't, and again you're assuming their intentions and priorities. Who says an advanced alien society must necessarily be perfectly efficient or optimised? Maybe their priority is really ensuring the existence of the reptilian race and a future for reptilian children, a reptilian form is perfectly compatible with that. Maybe my current body isn't the most beautiful or athletic in existence, but I still wouldn't accept a brain transplant if it was on offer, because it's sick perverse shit, not because my body's necessarily "better".

How do we know we aren't the ones abducting them? They're like "ahh stop making me abduct you human!"

Dreamer Heaven Level's.

The entire abduction thing is one large slave trade that Earth is part of now. Do not be deluded.

>I also haven't heard of a story where someone had a fake memory in place of their abduction

That's a Catch-22. They wouldn't have a story about being abducted by aliens if instead of being abducted by aliens they remembered going to a bar and going six rounds with Jose Cuervo, they would have a story about getting wasted at a bar.

>Why abduct humans in the first place if they're covertly working with major world governments?

Why even come to Earth more than once? You beam down to someone's house when they're away, scrape some DNA off their razor or a used tampon or a hairbrush or whatever, and leave. Never return. You have the complete human genome and you can now just breed humans in a zoo somewhere under controlled circumstances.

Now, of course, the really fun part is when you wonder if this is exactly what happened, and we're currently in that very Zoo.
