it would seem logical and feasable that alien life does exist. if every star is like our sun and each has planets around it blah blah blah. but alien abductions? really? so a species has the technology to actually get here in the first place then gets here having either travelled at vast speeds across space or bent space and time then decides its a good idea to land his big shiny craft with lights flashing everywhere illuminating the night sky to borrow a human being to then 'PROBE" it? lol really? if the technology is available to get them here then logically they would be advanced enough to either live amoung us or be hidden out of our way. its conceivable that people may have seen craft, ufos, whatever you will but if aliens wanted to observe or learn about humans wouldn't there be more discreet ways? I can't believe they would want us to know they were here as if they did why wouldn't they appear in their thousands?
I can not speak for aliens why or what is the reason so I will throw back a question at you, we class ourselves as intelligent (debatable I know) compared to other species on earth, so my question to is why do we study every animal /insect on earth?

Whilst I believe in Aliens, but not their visitations, I have to say that franky made a great point.
Curiosity is seen in all life forms and I daresay any other beings probably harbour the same desires for knowledge of the unknown that we do.

{Ed001's Note - in my experience, the more intelligent you are, the more curious you are. So highly intelligent aliens are likely to be extremely curious.}

Maybe they abduct us so they can make cures for our viruses and diseases that they might get if they decide to invade?

There is little doubt that any visitors to this planet are more scientifically advanced than we are. The only reason to study our physicality is to find better ways of killing / controlling us. If they are studying us for peaceful reasons they would reveal themselves, as kidnapping is an act of aggression (unless they have been told to stay hidden by dark forces from this planet). Being a peaceful chap it wouldn't bother me if they needed voluteers to examine ( unless it was a anal probe, I don't do butt stuff! lol) as this would bring the races closer together for our mutual benefit.
Ultimately I feel the alien invasion stuff is exaggerated in the media to keep open minded people in their place ( climate of fear ). I just don't find the secrecy aspect makes any kind of sense!

Lino I do not think it is that simple, like I have posted many times I think there are many species of aliens and like us there are good and bad, to be honest if abductions are real which I do believe it is for a reason, as we as a species we are aggressive and skeptical so I doubt there would be many volunteers, personally if I was a alien and I got dropped off here I would be terrified.

Since the big bang the beginning of time as we know it and lead to believe that's what happened, if alien lifeforms are capable of getting to our planet why can't we reach them.

I don't think any alien species that reaches this planet have any reason to fear us frankie mate, the aggressive ones would just crush us, and the friendly ones ( here for knowledge/curiosity ) would learn more by being out in the open. Saying that I do tend to watch a lot of sci fi so I maybe colouring my opinions with star trekisms. I just find the cloak and dagger stuff highly illogical captain.

Forgot to respond to the unnamed poster above, technology wise it would take us many hundreds of years to reach proxima centaurii ( nearest star after the sun) with the tech we have today ( I'm not a big believer in black tech, even though I concede that some tech is being kept from us).
Plus whos to say after we launch a ship, that a hundred years later we could break ( or circumvent ) the speed of light and overtake the first ship. This would mean it would be pointless until the faster tech was discovered. But then do you wait even longer for an even faster tech? Mars is 18 months away with current tech and getting there is going to take many billions of dollars, and would be mankinds greatest achievement. I'm certain in my lifetime ( i'm 38 now) we may just make mars but any further is going to takes hundreds of years.

Lion mate I think you hit the nail on the head, all sci fi movie's the aliens are going to take over the world and kill everyone, when in reality they have probably hardware to destroy anyone, btw I am not suggesting every alien would be friendly I just think we are in more danger from the shower who run this planet.

Don't believe in black tech ops? Read up on Tesla, where's all his stuff? The guy was a genius, half of which he came up with many would find hard to believe in this day and age.
