'I was abducted by aliens - here are the signs you might have been too'

Tales of are fairly common, especially in the West. As early as the 1960s, there have been reports of people being —usually during the night—often for strange experiments,

Among the most famous alleged abduction cases are those of New York housewife Linda Napolitano and British twin Philip Kinsella, both of whom claim to have been taken by aliens in the same year.

Linda made headlines with her "abduction of the century" when she said aliens beamed her up from her Manhattan bedroom in November 1989. Her account was supported by 23 people who supposedly saw her being lifted over the Brooklyn Bridge.

In 2013, she told : "If I was hallucinating, then the witnesses saw my hallucination." In 2022, her startling story was adapted into the popular show The Manhattan Alien Abduction.

British man Philip claimed he was abducted by “reptilian” aliens in 1989 after being suddenly awakened at his Bedfordshire home in the middle of the night. Clairvoyant Philip described being levitated and moved through his house before being strapped naked to a board, where he claims a probe was inserted into his body.

Philip spoke about that terrifying night and shared six eerie signs that could indicate you’ve had an alien encounter—without even realising it.

When recalling his first sighting of the alien figure, Philip told "That image was the most raw and unforgettable—I will never forget their faces. They looked like dinosaurs, but they were reptilian, about seven to eight feet tall."

Philip and his twin brother Ronald have had four unnerving encounters, including capturing footage of "three white hovering objects" in 2016.

Although Philip vividly remembers his alleged abduction, he explained that most people’s memories are supposedly wiped by extraterrestrial beings.

One of the key indicators of abduction Philip mentioned was the presence of implants. He claims that aliens often leave small implants in humans about the size of a grain of rice. Although he doesn’t know the purpose of the implant, he described it as being covered in "organic tissue" so that the body doesn’t reject it.

“Sometimes they’re very tiny, and they have a strange, hard structure—not metallic, but unusual,” he said. Philip revealed that his implant, which had been in his body for two years, was located behind his ear. He offered tips on how to spot these potential implants, such as noticing an itchy spot or a specific problem area. He also claimed they could show up on X-rays.

American actress Fran Drescher has also publicly spoken about her alleged abduction. In 2012, she claimed that both she and her producer husband, Peter Marc Jacobson, had been implanted with chips, noting that they both had identical scars in the same spot on their hands. She shared this with the , saying, "We both have this scar. It's the exact same scar on the exact same spot."

Philip also shared some physical symptoms he experienced after his alleged abduction, including frequent and severe nosebleeds. "I suffered profuse nosebleeds to my right nostril for two years after the incident," he recalled. "It got to the point where it was so embarrassing. I could be sitting on the train, and it would just start pouring. Doctors were considering cauterizing it."

Interestingly, Linda also claimed to have woken up with a nosebleed after her first abduction experience, along with a strange bump on the side of her nose.

Philip revealed that he was left with three triangular marks behind his right ear after the encounter, which he believes could be part of an alleged implantation ritual. He speculates that human tissue may be used to cover the implant.

Although potential abductees may not recall the full details of their encounters, especially if their memories have been erased, Philip believes that fragments of the experience may resurface later. He explained the phenomenon of "screen memory," where subconscious memories of the experience emerge into the conscious mind. "Some people have fragmented memories, but they don’t feel like dreams. They feel real."
