Anything is possible. We can't prove it is true nor can we prove it untrue. And since scientist announced last year that there are other universes (and previously we believed there was only one), who is to say there are not other solar systems and life on other planets? Who can say that this life is not more advanced than our life on earth?
I've had a couple of very strange experiences myself which cause me to wonder about things we have not yet scientifically discovered. I don't claim to have been abducted, but once I awoke from a very light sleep and was extremely anxious and startled because I suddenly felt an alien presence (not human and not material) surrounding me and watching and discussing me as I lay in bed. It wasn't a dream, it was like when you are alone and suddenly feel the presence of another when he enters the room (without actually physically sensing him come in).
I am not saying that these claims of abduction are all necessarily true, but what I ~am~ saying is that nobody really knows. Years ago some things were considered ridiculous because science couldn't back it up and since then they have been proven to be true. What about in the days of Columbus when people thought the earth was flat and Columbus claimed it was round? And what would folks have said even 60 years ago if we had told them man would walk on the moon? Who would have ever believed we'd one day have dna tests to prove a man's guilt or innocence? Therefore, I am not very judgmental about it ...

No. No one has ever told me that. I have, however, heard on tv programs that people have said they've been abducted by aliens. I find it strange however, that in none of these cases was there ever any co-oberating evidence (meaning someone else who saw this take place, video footage of the event happening, several witnessess to the event), or any other documentation in any medium that could verify the event.
Therefore, if someone says they've been abducted, in the abscence of any other information or evidence, we must conclude that this is simply someone making a statement that cannot be verified. Any other statement regarding any other topic presented in this manner would be viewed by people in the same way, as simply hearsay. Why should a claim of alien abduction be any different?

I'd mention to them that while indeed the vastness of space makes extra-terrestrial life a near inevitability, the chances of any of that life being intelligent, finding us in the vastness of space, developing the technology to reach earth accross the vastness of space, AND all doing so before they either destroy themselves or are destroyed by one of several dozen possible geoplanetary or astronomical disasters is well... astronomical.
Still, it's possible. Our understanding about a great deal of the universe and how it works is still entirely limited, and the possibility for error is indistputable. There may yet be entire branches of science out there that we don't even realize yet.
Is it possible he/she was actually abducted? Yes. But current knowledge of the subject suggests highly that this is not the case.

Ask them to tell you about it. If they can;t they may be making it up. When a story keeps changing, that is when you know someone is fibbing.

I'd ask them if they wanted another drink.
