Alien abduction

From X-Files Wiki

An alien abduction is when a human is taken by aliens for experimentation or examination. One who is abducted is said to be an abductee. Abductees are often returned with metallic tags inside their nasal cavities or inside their teeth, usually unknown to them. (TXF: "Pilot", et al.)

Dana Scully was one of numerous women abducted so that human ova could be extracted for use in a project developing an alien/human hybrid. The ova samples were tended to by Kurt Crawford clones at the Lombard Research Facility. (TXF: "Memento Mori")In the pilot episode Billy Miles was used by aliens to abduct his highschool friends. The aliens placed a tag-like device in his nose and would call him to abduct his friends and take them to the woods where a light would appear and take them to the testing place. Billy Miles claimed that the tests didn't work and they wanted everything destroyed and they said they where leaving. Many abductees where often taken and returned only to be abducted again some other time. Max Fenig was abducted many times and returned not knowing why he would wake up in strange places. he was abducted again by a invisble alien at the end of falling angel. Samantha Mulder was first abducted from the mulder house as Fox Mulder watched she was used in the cloning program. Her DNA was used to make alien human hybrid clones in Colony, End Game and Herrenvolk
