Here's What People's Alien Encounters Look Like, According to AI

The OG Abductees

The OG Abductees

The case of Betty and Barney Hill and their alleged alien abduction is one of the most well-known abduction stories in American history. In 1961, the two were traveling at night, headed home from vacation when they experienced a bout of lost time. In the days and weeks after their incident, they gradually recovered more and more memories of that night through hypnosis and dreams...if you believe in that sort of thing! 

Barney Hill in particular described the aliens as being short with terrifying eyes that "seemed to speak". We're not sure exactly what talking eyes are supposed to look like, but the AI image-generating program did a fantastic job at creating an alien with eyes that will definitely haunt our own nightmares! 

Crab People

In 1973, two men from Pascagoula, Mississippi, claimed that they were abducted by aliens while fishing from a pier. The two described observing multiple UFOs before being taken into one of them by three creatures with "robot-slit mouths" and "crab-like pincers." This is definitely one of the more unusual descriptions of aliens given by alleged abductees. 

While it appears that the image generator didn't quite stick to the description given by the men, it still ended up creating a creature that is 100% nightmare fuel. This crab monster has way too many legs and eyes for our comfort! Let's hope these guys stay as far away from the earth as possible. 

The Bald Men

During an ABC News segment on alleged alien abductees, reporters met twins Audrey and Debbie, who claimed to have been abducted multiple times over the years by aliens they dubbed "The Bald Men." They said the experiences started in childhood and described the aliens as tall, bald men wearing black capes. 

The AI image generator definitely created a terrifying picture from this description, but it's missing the most important part—the black cape! We were hoping to see what kind of fashion statement these aliens would make. Also, while the picture gives us the creeps, this could just as easily be a vampire as opposed to an alien. 

Catwoman

One of the earliest, highly-publicized accounts of alien abduction came from a Brazilian farmer in 1957. Antonio Vilas-Boas was working late in his fields one night when he spotted a red light in the sky growing larger. When he attempted to flee the scene, he was brought aboard by the extraterrestrials and claims to have encountered a woman with platinum blonde hair and bright blue cat eyes that he allegedly had relations with. 

Even among abduction stories, this one is pretty ridiculous, considering the specifics. However, the program did a great job at rendering what he saw according to his description. However, this lady looks like she could probably just as easily be a superhero as a terrifying visitor from outer space. 

Is That You, Slender Man?

Is That You, Slender Man?

Reddit is the perfect place to find people swapping stories about unexplained experiences, and this commenter did not disappoint. According to user u/MY_SH*T_IS_PERFECT, his Dad once saw a UFO and was subsequently visited by an unusually tall man with pale skin and a creepy smile that looked "distinctly out of place." 

We have to admit having a hard time believing this one because the description the user gave sounds just a little too much like Slender Man, the internet's most famous creepy (but fictional) creation. That being said, this image still gives us the heebie-jeebies, whether this terrifying man actually exists or not. 

Cold-Blooded Aliens

Cold-Blooded Aliens

Among those who believe in extraterrestrials and alien abduction, there is a belief in different races of aliens that visit humanity. One of the most commonly talked about groups is the reptilians, who, like their name implies, have a very lizard-y look to them. According to Reddit user u/GreatAuntEater, bipedal reptiles abducted them and performed multiple experiments on them aboard a ship. 

We love this picture that AI has created for this description but for all the wrong reasons. This guy looks too cute and friendly to hurt anyone, much less abduct them! Maybe he and his friends were just lost in space and looking for directions to help them get back on track. 

A Colorful Creature

A Colorful Creature

Descriptions of "little green men" or gray aliens with giant eyes are a dime a dozen. So, we really enjoy it when someone claims to have encountered an alien that sounds much more fantastical, whether it's actually real or not. According to Reddit user u/scrappster, he awoke one night to find a reptilian alien with a "strong brow ridge" that was "outlined in lights of many colors" in his bedroom. 

This alien encounter was definitely a swing and a miss for the AI image generator. This reptilian fellow looks more like a lizard you would find on earth—they're rare, but agama lizards are known for their bright, colorful patterns. No need to leave the comfort of the planet to discover a rainbow lizard! 

The Blob

We have to admit that we've never heard an alien encounter story quite like this. According to Reddit user u/Rayzorblade, while they were in the Navy they heard a fellow soldier describe seeing a "very green" "big slug" that looked "very blurry...like it could change shape." That sounds pretty terrifying! 

We're not entirely sure what a blurry, green, shapeshifting slug would actually look like, but the AI image generator offered up a pretty good guess. We're not sure where this thing begins and where it ends, but we definitely would not want to see this thing step off a UFO! 

Bald is Beautiful

This next story from Reddit user u/ShaneMcDeath is probably one of the most outrageous we've ever heard. According to him, his cousin once saw a floating orb of light appear out of nowhere. In the next instant, he found himself getting a "chest massage from a completely hairless woman with no eye pupils." Either this is a tall tale or this guy's cousin really lucked out in the alien abduction department! 

Unfortunately, the AI image generator created an alien that looks much less sexy than we were imagining this mystery woman looked like. Does skincare not exist on this woman's planet? And let's just say that we're very thankful that pupils exist so that our eyes aren't just terrifying orbs of color. 

Alien or Cute New Designer Pet?

Alien or Cute New Designer Pet?

In 1969, a Brazilian citizen named Jose Antonio da Silva claims he was fishing when he experienced full-body paralysis. Shortly after, several aliens showed up and took him aboard their ship. He described his abductors as "dwarf-like" creatures with long, flowing red hair. We have to admit—that's not one we've heard before! 

This AI-generated image of the alleged aliens is just too ridiculous to be scared of. This doesn't look so much like an extraterrestrial as it does the concept art for a Trolls reboot. We're not sure how this adorable little guy manages to balance that giant head on such tiny legs, but we'd love to adopt him and take him home with us!
