[edit] Abductee Infobox

This info box is for abductees. It should only be used for real people who have/claim to have been abducted by extraterrestrials. It is not to be used for fictional characters or for people abducted by humans/spirits/fairies/or other conventional/paranormal entities. It may however also be used for people who believe that they were abducted by the government as part of a UFO conspiracy/cover-up/disinformation campaign.

This box may also be used for Contactees who claim to have ridden in alien vessels, though not contactees who have communicated by telepathy, or other non contact method, alone.

If you have been abducted, please see standard Wikipedia policies and guidelines on notability, biographies and sources before using this template for an article about yourself. THIS IS NOT A FORUM FOR REPORTING ALIEN ABDUCTIONS.

[edit] Usage

Copy and paste the following code into an article about an abductee. Fill in as many of the fields as you can. If you cannot fill in a field, leave it blank (Don't delete it, another use might know the answer and fill it in later on).
