In article relayed from TIMES,  Sean Eaton quotes :

"According to reputable surveys, one in every 50 Americans thinks
they have received the attentions of visiting aliens."

This figure seems to me to be a little fanciful.
If we consider just the population of the United States of America
(forget about all the other Americans like Canadians, Mexicans,
  Brazilians etc for now)

        I believe that the USA population is about 250 million

        So 1 in 50 would be                          5 million people

        If we consider that UFOs seriously started
        around 1947, call that 50 years to allow for a
        few reports before then

        That means that in ONE year, from the USA alone
        there are                                   100,000 abductions
        around                                        2,000  per week
        or                                              280  per day

        Given that a typical abduction experience is reported to be
        about one and half hours that means at best one 'craft'
        could make about 12 abductions per day.

        That would mean that over 20 craft would be required just to
        cover the USA working 24hours per day every day for the past
        50 years. And that does not even allow for people that have
        had multiple abductions.

        Also this figure of 20 full time craft dealing with abductions
        does not allow any time for them making crop circles or
        cattle mutilation or any of the other phenomena attributed to
        aliens.

        A fairly constant result from a number of studies is that between
        90 and 95 percent of UFOs reported can be explained as natural
        phenomena, misidentifications etc. Even if all the maximum remaining
        10 percent turned out to be these alien craft then there should be
        over 3000 UFO reports each day from the USA alone.

        If the population of the world as a whole is about 4000 million,
        16 times that of the USA then there would be around 4000
        abductions per day, permanent employment for around 300 craft.

        If only we (humans) had a space programme one tenth as good as that!

Steve.
