This event is considered the birth of modern ufology and has had significant repercussions on popular culture, to this day.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The <strong>abductions<\/strong> They refer to the alleged event in which a person is taken, against their will, aboard an extraterrestrial spacecraft, an experience that may include undergoing medical examinations of lesser or greater complexity.
