A group of astronomers recently made headlines with claims they may have found signs of life on a planet 124 light years away. But according to one man in the U.K., the truth has already landed—and it might’ve taken you along for the ride.
Philip Kinsella says he was abducted by “reptilian” aliens back in 1989. The experience, he claims, involved beings that resembled small dinosaurs, a beam of light, and yes, the classic alien probe scenario.
Since then, he’s spoken with many other people who believe they’ve also been abducted—and he’s convinced far more of us have had similar experiences but don’t realize it. Over the years, he’s compiled a list of five signs that might indicate an alien abduction.
Here’s what to look for:
Bumps under your skin
Kinsella says aliens often leave tiny implants beneath the skin—small enough to go unnoticed but visible on an X-ray. He describes them as the size of a grain of rice.
Nosebleeds
After his alleged abduction, Kinsella claims he had frequent and unexplained nosebleeds for two years. He believes this is a common after-effect, especially following “probing.”
Strange flashbacks
According to Kinsella, memories of abduction may be repressed but can resurface in fragments—especially in the form of sudden, vivid flashbacks.
Missing time
A recurring claim among alleged abductees is the sensation of lost time—like leaving for a quick walk and realizing hours have passed. Kinsella references one man who claims to have been abducted 60 times since the 1980s, often losing hours at a time.
Psychic powers
Perhaps the most bizarre claim: Kinsella says his reptilian captors “opened his mind” during the abduction, unlocking psychic abilities. He now works as a professional psychic medium.
Skeptical? You’re not alone. But Kinsella’s story—and others like it—continue to attract attention, especially as scientists inch closer to identifying habitable worlds beyond Earth.
So if you’ve ever found yourself with strange scars, lost time, or an unexplained sixth sense… maybe it wasn’t just a dream.
