Abductions: “We Wish to Mate with You.”

“We Wish to Mate with You.”

The experience of Barney and Betty Hill quickly became a popular topic of public conversation. After the case became well known, abduction tales multiplied, and many of those stories had sexual aspects. On a summer night in Michigan in 1966, a woman named Jean Sheldon was removed from her parked car and taken to a silvery craft. Inside, three naked humanoid males approached; one gave her a rather blunt pickup line delivered via telepathy: “We wish to mate with you.” Sheldon understood the alien’s wish that she not resist, so she complied, having sex with all three of the males. She reported that the encounter was stimulating.

A vaguely similar 1966 case unfolded near Melbourne, Australia, and involved a woman named Marlene Travers. Startled by the landing of a silvery disc, Travers got a second surprise when a naked, handsome humanoid male left the ship to tell her that she had been selected to be the first Earth woman to have sex with an extraterrestrial. Fear encouraged Travers to comply, but she was adamant afterward that the spaceman had raped her.

Around 1970, a French farmer observed a pair of aliens, one male and the other female, emerge from a spacecraft and copulate in a field. Afterward, the pair returned to their craft and departed. Whether this tryst was for science or just for fun is unknown.

A 1973 encounter in Somerset, England, began when a robot stalled a woman’s car and took her to a spacecraft. Inside, the woman was strapped naked to a table and examined by three male humanoids costumed like surgeons. A pinprick injection made to one thigh paralyzed the woman’s entire body, enabling one of the humanoids to have emotionless sex with her. Understandably mortified, the woman insisted that authorities preserve her anonymity; to this day, she is “Mrs. X.” Near El Banco, Colombia in 1976, a cattleman named Liberato Anibal Quintero met three tiny aliens that dragged him inside a spaceship and encouraged him to have sex with a trio of humanoid females. The first woman was so enthusiastic that Quintero wore himself out. Quintero did not resist when offered a liquid aphrodisiac, which allowed him to service the other two females —who were no less passionate than the first. Finished with him, the women injected anesthetic into Quintero’s back and deposited his unconscious body right on his doorstep.

The sexual aspect of alien abduction, particularly as it involves human females, is at once titillating and off- putting; too much emphasis on the issue is apt to encourage blanket dismissal of the whole abduction idea.
But comic books (such as this example from 1968, with cover by George Wilson) and other entertainment media have trafficked in the idea since the 1940s.
