similar stories shared between so many supposed abductees is too overwhelming to ignore at times.

If only there were secret cults that promoted such stories in culture to create an egregore, one could easily explain the shared experience phenomenon via the Lam / IAM / YAM / Liam etc. sound alike names of the god of the cult of the Great Determined Protector.

Various secret clubs do social engineering by creating seemingly unexplainable witness testimonies.

The answer you seek is in the occult, specifically the various branches of Mysteries Babylon. Little grey men = little steel/iron lumps; Meteorites. Men = lumps. Men of the [cheese] cloth are cheeses... A "Man of Steel" is our "savior", etc. Saturn references; saucer shape = Saturn = Death. Meteorites make the scythe shape. Many testimonies are coded with symbolism to nod and wink to other cultists via clever references to their practices and traditions. Beware, however, there are watchers who seek the seekers of enlightenment, and sometimes make the price of wisdom cost more than one is willing to give.
