My opinion on the ET question.
Yes, they exist. Mostly interdimensional.
The “abductions” where people had awful experiences was human black ops.
I personally have had experience with inter dimensional and have witness. It wasn’t fear inducing but the shock of it was what causes fear. Hours “lost”. I think many have experienced this but we’re labeled crazy so we don’t talk about it. Only after effect I think is some heightened psychic ability and strong faith in God.
