* ''[[
** Spoofed in the episode "Grail", in which the human great-grandson of an abductee demands compensation from the great-grandson of an alien abductor.
** They later did a reenactment of the torture scene from ''Fire in the Sky'' when a new race was scouting for easy invasion prospects.
Line 72:
** The Minbari abducted Sinclair and subjected him to the [[Jack Bauer Interrogation Technique]] before {{spoiler|discovering that he was Valen}}. Sinclair met Delenn there in those rather awkward circumstances. As far as we know he never talked about it with her even after his memory was restored.
* ''[[Soap]]'': Poor Burt gets abducted, cloned and {{spoiler|temporarily}} replaced.
* ''[[
** The Doctor has been known to do this by accident if a companion is recruited by them wandering into the TARDIS and him taking off before noticing. Sarah Jane Smith became a companion this way.
** The first two human companions, Barbara and Ian, stumbled aboard the TARDIS because they were worried and curious about a genius student of theirs named Susan, whose grandfather was an eccentric and unnamed doctor. When they saw that the TARDIS was bigger on the inside and saw proof that Susan and the Doctor were sufficiently advanced aliens, the Doctor felt they had seen too much and decided to abduct them. No one else liked this idea.
Line 97:
== Tabletop Games ==
* ''[[Changeling: The Lost (Tabletop Game)|Changeling: The Lost]]'', being about [[The Fair Folk]] and their victims, emphasizes the ties between [[Alien Abduction]] and the old faerie myths -- some Keepers are described as androgynous, slender beings that put their victims through strange examinations involving horrifying equipment, and the Wizened in the illustrations appear to be a mixture of traditional goblins and [[The Greys]]. Of course, the book goes on to say in a sidebar that not ''all'' alien abductions in the ''[[New World of Darkness (Tabletop Game)|World of Darkness]]'' may be the fault of [[The Fair Folk]]....
* In the world of ''[[Pathfinder (Tabletop Game)|Pathfinder]]'', hapless people sometimes disappear from their homes, only to reappear sometime later with mysterious surgical scars and no recollection of what happened beyond vague nightmares of short gray-skinned creatures with bulging eyes... except instead of aliens from outer space, they've been abducted by derros, [[The Fair Folk|fey-like humanoids]] from [[Beneath the Earth]]. A [[Shout
Line 140:
* Parodied and shown from the aliens' point of view in the [[Pixar]] short film ''Lifted''.
* ''[[Arthur (Animation)|Arthur]]''
** Parodied in a special relating to an episode plot-making contest (of which the episode itself [[Truth in Television|was the direct result of such a contest]]), where Buster's plot idea was having Buster's character trying to get aliens to come down, they do, [[They Killed Kenny|landing on Buster's character]], take Arthur's character into their ship, doing anal probing (although, as it is a kids show, Arthur's character is just shown in his underpants, although the implications [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|were still on there]]), then leave Arthur behind. Also, the entire sequence was a direct [[Shout
** Similarly, in the episode (and book) "Arthur's Slumber Party", a subplot involved a newspaper headline mentioning that someone thought they saw a UFO. DW got obsessed with [[UF Os]] as a result, and so during the slumber party, Arthur, Brain, and Buster decided to pull a few pranks on DW by first placing one of their sleeping bags and using a cutout of an alien to cause DW to think its a real alien, and then (episode only) create a UFO contraption for DW to take pictures of until it landed via Brain's remote control.
** Hilariously implied to be what happened to D.W.'s Snowball in the episode "D.W.'s Snowball".
