Quitt argues many alien abduction reports match an out-of-body ‘sleep paralysis’ sequence

What was said

"I was saying, "Okay, this is like your consciousness is being taken out of your body." And because you've never had this experience before, it's so real that of course you think you're taken physically."

Quitt tells the host he believes many ‘abduction’ narratives can be explained as consciousness separation during sleep paralysis, rather than a physical event, describing a step-by-step overlap between reports collected by late journalist Bob Mitchell and out-of-body experiences. He adds that, in his own non-physical episodes, he says he has encountered beings commonly described in abduction stories, including ‘mantids’, ‘greys’ and ‘reptilians’.
