• March 20th was Extraterrestrial Abduction Day, a day devoted to those who claim to have had personal encounters with visitors from outer space. So a Winnipeg radio station reached out to Canadian ‘weirdologist’, Chris Rutkowski. “We do get… reports from time to time that people have… been contacted directly by aliens,” he told 680 CJOB.

• Rutkowski, who has written a number of books on the abduction topic, said abduction incidents have profound impacts on the claimants — whether they’re true or not. People who claim to be abductees are adamant that it happened. It’s something that warrants more research.

• “Maybe it’s something as simple as misidentification of something else in their lives, but it’s a very profound experience,” says Rutkowski. “And the numbers of people having such experiences are very significant.” “[P]eople really do experience these things and it’s rife for being studied by science.”

• “Some (abductees) feel that they have been selected by creatures beyond this Earth to give us a message, or the aliens want to help humankind… and I have to say, if they really want to do that, this would be a time to give us a hand.”

Although the world is in a serious health crisis with the COVID-19 pandemic, March 20, for some people, commemorates another type of crisis entirely — although it’s one more frequently seen in science fiction.

Extraterrestrial Abduction Day is an annual focus on those who claim to have had personal encounters with visitors from outer space. And while it’s easy to pass it off as comic book fantasy, a local UFO expert says these incidents have profound impacts on the claimants — whether they’re true or not.

“We do get those reports from time to time that people have said they’ve been contacted directly by aliens,” science writer and ‘weirdologist’ Chris Rutkowski told 680 CJOB.

“Some feel that they have been selected by creatures beyond this Earth to give us a message, or the aliens want to help humankind… and I have to say, if they really want to do that, this would be a time to give us a hand.”
