Line 153:
* One of the most unusual alien abduction stories was that of American logger Travis Walton. Walton was allegedly abducted by a UFO in Arizona in 1975. His abduction was reported by several coworkers who claimed to have witnessed the event, resulting in a state-wide manhunt (and a possible homicide investigation). Walton did not reappear until five days later, claiming he had been abducted by aliens. The movie Fire In the Sky is very loosely based on the alleged abduction.
* Wild animals captured by humans, examined and tagged, then released again. From their perspective this trope might be close to [[Truth in Television]].
* Humans captured in passing in a first contact situation with a new culture. Sometimes the scenario sounds remarkably like an alien abduction. In time gone by it was [[Values Dissonance|perfectly normal]] for explorers to grab a stray wanderer and take them back to show off like zoo specimens.
