A few days ago, the Weird Universe blog dug up a 1993 report on a UFO abduction survey, investigated by sociology professor Ted Goertzel at Rutgers University. The report was checking into a previous study’s claim that 3.7 million Americans were suffering from “UFO abduction syndrome.” While the Goertzel report largely debunked the idea that millions of Americans are actual abductees, you might still be in some danger — especially if you live in South Jersey.

Goertzel’s study first reviewed an existing UFO abduction survey, which asked about five major experiences that could indicate a possible abduction:

1. “Waking up paralyzed with a sense of a strange person or presence or something else in the room.”
2. “Experiencing a period of time of an hour or more, in which you were apparently lost, but you could not remember why or where you had been.”
3. “Feeling that you were actually flying through the air although you didn’t know why or how.”
4. “Seeing unusual lights or balls of light in a room without knowing what was causing them.”
5. “Finding puzzling scars on your body and neither you nor anyone else remembering how you received them or where you got them.”
