How to Write Credible Alien Abduction Stories

Introduction

Abduction by aliens is a topic that fascinates millions of readers worldwide. Creating a credible alien abduction story requires research into the world of "real" alien abduction. Discover elements that are similar in all abduction stories and include these details in your work of fiction. Consistency, not creativity, is the key to writing a believable alien story. Read on to learn how to write credible alien abduction stories.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Steps

1

Step One

Read published abduction stories as research before writing an alien abduction story. Watch interviews with individuals who claim to have been abducted. Create a believable abductee by giving your character the attributes of a real abductee.
2

Step Two

Imbue your story with a sense of disorientation and wrongness. Create abductees that are unwilling and horrified by the alien abduction experience. Remove self-control from the actions of the abductee. Give all control of human physical motion to the aliens.
3

Step Three

Allow only telepathic communication between aliens and abductees. Developing an alien language immediately tips others off that your account is not credible. Detailing an alien ship is acceptable.
4

Step Four

Describe alien abductors as small gray creatures with pointed chins, large eyes and only holes for a nose. Include a taller alien if you want to write about medical experiments.
5

Step Five

Detail extensive physical exams performed by the aliens on their human abductees. Describe medical procedures that are invasive in nature and leave marks on the body. Give your abductee unexplained scars and marks to enhance the story.
6

Step Six

Include time loss in your story. Detail how the abductee returns to the abduction site having no memory of how long they were gone and what occurred. Write of a traumatic event or therapy that brings repressed, credible memories to the surface.
7

Step Seven

Set your story in a time or place that has reported UFOs or odd celestial events. Combine reality and fiction to create the most credible alien abduction story.
