[SERIOUS] Alien abductees or those who claim to have seen a UFO/Alien phenomena, what is your story?

I have one, I was completely awake and hanging out on the couch, when suddenly I tried to move and realized I couldn't - I'm pretty sure that for "sleep paralysis" you need to be asleep for it to happen, right? - and I began feeling these pins and needles/pinpricks (like energy of some kind) on my outer extremities starting with my feet.

Then I felt, in my ears, like my body was going through some type of waves of pressure - if you're a person who can 'move your ears' by conscious choice, I heard that sound that you hear in your ears when you move the ear to the point of straining the muscle - it's a strange sound, but if you learned how to move your ears as a kid/strain the muscles near them, you know what sound I mean.

The feeling of tingling in my feet started first and I tried to move, and realized I couldn't move, this scared me because I was completely awake, so I kept trying to move and thought that maybe if I moved my tongue to my teeth and bit down on it, the pain signal would somehow trigger the rest of my brain to start working, but I couldn't even move my tongue to my front teeth - I felt like I could wiggle the tongue a tiny little bit, but I couldn't actually move it or move my jaw to bite down on it, even if I had gotten the tongue to move forward.

Around this time I became very startled and went into "nightmare" level of panic, the same type of terror/horrifying fear you get in a really bad nightmare where you're running away from something that's right behind you - and in my mind, I kept picturing this 'gray alien' moving towards me from the hall to my left, moving around me, doing something to me - and my body seemed to be locked in some type of energy field that was doing something to my muscles (causing some of them to contract/relax at normal intervals).

I suddenly had this feeling or realization "holy shit am I being abducted by aliens?". In my mind, it was like I was fighting against falling into a hypnotic state or something, and I used all of my will and energy to fight against it and think "no absolutely fucking not I won't do this I won't god dammit", I would have bursts of will where I'd be trying to move and fight against this feeling in between bouts of terrible panic and feeling like something(like an alien) was trying to make me calm down and stop freaking out.

Eventually I was able to snap out of it, but through the whole time, I never 'fell asleep' or 'woke up', my state of consciousness changed in the sense that I went from normal waking state to some weird feeling like I was in between waking state and unconsciousness, but prior to that I was just awake as normal, and after that I was awake as normal. When it ended I felt like I'd prevented myself from 'being taken', but I wasn't sure what really happened. I grabbed my pocket knife and opened it and sat on my couch thinking 'holy shit, holy shit'.

I'm not prone to things like that, have never experienced it before as far as I remember, and I don't spend a lot of time holding onto pocket knives like my life depends on it. After I calmed down I had a feeling like maybe I had just reacted so badly that they stopped and left me alone because I focused on being totally unwilling to be involved in whatever was happening to me.
