If we substitute something like "abducted by beings from outside of earth" for the word "aliens", we'll probably have tons of stories from ancient times, mostly involving gods. | |

| Jun 24, 2015 at 23:02 | comment | added | Praxis | @cde : Lol. But...was he a god or an alien? (I'm sure there was at least one question about Loki's god status not that long ago.) | |

| Jun 24, 2015 at 18:58 | comment | added | Himarm | i immediately thought of en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Out_of_the_Silent_Planet but then i remembered it wasnt an alien abduction, but a human on human abduction from earth to another planet, but it is from 38 so its a quite old sci-fi abduction story haha. | |
