There was a show on NatGeo last night about the UFO phenomenon. The short segment I happened to catch was talking about "abductees" and the abduction experience. It was actually pretty good--the part I saw anyway. Started out with the usual Woo-ish claims and black-silhouette testimonies, but very quickly went on to conversation with psychologists and scientists about the real physical phenomenons behind many of these experience (namely sleep paralysis). I didn't watch much; maybe 5-10 minutes total... it was late and I didn't feel the need to learn stuff I already know... but it was nice to see a reasonable viewpoint portrayed without the usual cheap studio effects and narrator downplay to raise questions and doubt where there really wasn't any.
