根据美国《国家地理》杂志2012年一项调查，77%的美国人相信外星人造访过地球。而英国舆论调查公司2015年一项调查显示，30%的美国人相信ZF隐瞒了外星人造访的证据。一个英国脱口秀节目2014年一项调查发现，每25个受访者中就有一个相信他们曾被外星人绑架。

Agents Mulder and Scully may have said 'the truth is out there' in the X Files, but it may instead be buried inside the brains of people who claim they have been abducted by aliens.

《X-档案》里的特工穆德和史考莉可能说过“真相就在那里”，但对那些声称自己被外星人绑架过的人来说，真相可能深藏在他们的大脑里。

Those who believe they have had a close encounter of the so-called 'fourth kind' may suffer from false memories or sleep paralysis, a psychologist has claimed.

心理学家称，那些相信自己与所谓的“外星生物”有过亲密接触的人可能患有虚假记忆或睡眠麻痹。

A rare form of the condition, which can involve hallucinati** or the feeling of being dragged out of bed, may explain 'alien abducti**' that people sincerely believe happened but can't remember.

非常少见的表现形式可能包括幻觉或感觉被从床上拉下来，这可以解释“外星人绑架”现象，对此人们深信发生过却无法记住。

Writing for The Psychologist, Christopher C French, of Goldsmiths, the University of London, who specializes in the psychology of paranormal belief and experiences, said there are plausible explanati** for why people 'see' flying saucers and think they have been abducted.

Christopher C French是《心理学家》杂志的作家，他来自伦敦大学金史密斯学院，专攻超自然信念和经历心理学。对于人们为什么会看到飞碟并认为自己被绑架，他表示有合理的解释。

He noted that most of the people making these claims are clinically sane, but their belief in life in outer space may influence what they see or feel in strange situati**.

他指出，大多数声称遇到外星人的人通过临床诊断来看是理智的，但他们相信外太空存在生命，这可能会影响他们在陌生情境中所看到或感到的东西。
