     hmm, pickup  truck, no  Uncle Harry  didn't have  a pickup  truck 
.  But we are  talking abduction  here, physical  disappearance.  
And  honestly  Roger,  as  much  as  it  sounds  ludicrous, it  is not 
impossible.  Not that the amateur astronomers wouldn't have  picked up 
on that.  Or satellite trackers etc..  I have my doubts. But if I wish 
to add a little  edge to  this thought,  you realize  how many  people 
disappear a year in the U.S.   Well over  a million.   Many are  never 
found and in some cases no trace.  There  were some  serious texts  on 
this.  Of course I am not saying this has a lot to do with  Ufology,no 
Budd Hopkins  would like  us to  believe that  thousands are  abducted 
etc,well, if it is a physical phenomena as  in our  reality, we  would 
certainly have found some physical proof, or a  mistake would  be made 
etc, leaving a trace.  But no such evidence has surfaced yet.
    If we are to  assume we  are being  visited, it  is of  course not 
impossible that  some of  the bizarre  stories have  truth to  them. I 
cannot say for sure.  There are a lot of stories.  I have a hard  time 
with the idea of aliens coming  down and  singling out  people, taking 
them from their homes etc..  And of course there are a lot of stories.
And some from people who have  no reason  to fabricate  or rather  any 
psych reason to manifest  them.  Either  way it  is not  a good  sign, 
society wise.   I guess  some people  wish to  escape, and  this is  a 
possible new syndrome.  Or we are faced with something way  beyond our 
comprehension.............
Happy Trails,
Fred.
