In all seriousness, check out the academic folklorist and leading computer scientist Jacques Vallee, and his seminal book on the exact question you just asked, [Passport to Magonia] (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Passport-Magonia-Folklore-Flying-Saucers/dp/0987422480/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_14_t_0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=M53BSHJXKHMY5V51C4E9).

Titled after one of the various names for the fairy world (though I forget what culture the word Magonia comes from) it's essentially the bible of humanoid encounters. But for all intents and purposes it takes the fae folk and fairy lore from cultures all over the world, as well as the history of weird humanoid encounters in which there is some strange experience with little people, or "other" people in general, and sits it in contrast to contemporary experiences – often drawn form ufology and cryptozoology – including your little hairy man!

Ultimately, the conclusion most people seem to draw from it (aside from the hardcore nuts-and-bolts UFO people who hate it) is a sort of "Oh snap!" moment in which you realise that what we call one thing, today, other people have been calling Fae etc. for millennia. And it does a wonderful job of laying that out for you as a reader, mainly through really gripping accounts and a bit of historiography.

Similarly, if you're interested in modern fae folk experiences, look at the parallels between fairy lore and the events surrounding the whole Mothman saga at Point Pleasant. A good read on the subject that really outlines the crossover between our history of interactions with fae folk and what we often call "humanoids" can be found in John Keele's [The Mothman Prophecies] (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mothman-Prophecies-John-Keel/dp/0340824468/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1540620588&sr=1-1&keywords=the+mothman+prophecies).

Good fiction that lifts from all these books but is heavily rooted in historical analysis of how weird the topic is, can be found in the form of Twin Peaks.

And if you want to go really deep into the relationship between the history of "magic" and the fae folk and all of the above, have a read into Alistair Crowley's Moonchild. Then contrast it with Native American folklore on the same topic.

But be warned, it's a bit of a rabbit hole. If extremely interesting, nonetheless.

I'm doing my PhD on essentially this topic so feel free to PM me if you want to know more... My personal assumption, going in, and after doing more reading on the topic than any sane person should want to, is that it's all connected...

Another good book to read, if you're interested in our government's structural issues is: Extortion by Peter Schweizer.

> also, this former mufon investigator says how reports show that there is a way to terminate abduction.

"Unholy Communion: the Spiritual Nature of Abduction Reports" by "Ancient of Days: Christian Symposium on Aliens"

It's disingenuous to link to sites with a religious agenda without warning people that's what they are.

It doesn't leave a good impression of your beliefs if you have to trick people into hearing about them. Why don't you just tell people what you're recommending?

For those that want help ending alien abduction that's religiously neutral, I recommend:

How to Defend Yourself Against Alien Abduction by Ann Druffel. (Link is to the amazon Kindle version.)

It's cheap and it seems to have solid information.
