Aussie Police Investigate Alien Abduction Case
[Original headline: Abduction claim gives UFOlogists food for thought ]
Reports of an alien abduction in central Queensland are expected to keep the room buzzing at a national UFO conference in Brisbane this weekend.
Police are investigating claims that a Maryborough district woman was abducted from a caravan and transported 600 kilometres to the north Queensland sugar city of Mackay.
Witnesses have told police they saw the woman near Maryborough on Thursday night. She turned up in a dazed and muddy state 90 minutes later at Mackay Base Hospital.
UFO investigator Dr Martin Gottschall is not surprised at the woman's claim.
"These sort of things seem to be happening all around the globe," he said.
"What these people will appreciate the most is for other people to suspend judgement for a while; don't call them idiots or crazy or accuse them of trying to create some sort of a hoax. By and large this is rarely the case," Mr Gottschall said.
