The Questions We Should Be Asking About Abductions

In this conversation, filmmaker Dean Alioto joins Richard Dolan to discuss his new documentary, The Experiencers: Full Disclosure, and the enduring mystery of alien abduction experiences. Together they examine classic cases, the role of hypnotic regression, modern experiencer testimony, and why this aspect of the UFO phenomenon has largely disappeared from mainstream discussion in recent years. The conversation also ventures into deeper territory: co-creation, high strangeness, ontological shock, future-human theories, and whether we may have been asking the wrong questions about the phenomenon all along. Rather than seeking easy answers, this discussion explores the uncomfortable space between physical reality, human consciousness, and a mystery that continues to resist simple explanation.
