I find conflicting information.
The first modern claim of alien abduction was by Antonio Villas—Boas in Brazil during the late 1950s.

"Betty and Barney Hill were the first people to publicly state that they had been kidnapped by aliens. They believed they'd been taken aboard a spacecraft flown by small aliens with huge black slanted eyes and large heads. They remember being examined and operated on inside the craft by aliens. "

Opinions may vary.

The earliest reference to alien abduction (possibly) is the reference in Genesis to Enoch who was 'taken by god'. Enoch was Noah's Great Grandfather.
Also the reference to Jacob's Ladder could be to a UFO.

Take the population of the southern United States and divide by two. But then multiply by two, because most of them get abducted twice.

I always found it interesting that no one ever saw a UFO until after H.G. Wells published "War of the Worlds" . . . .
