Quotes
In the fall of 1997, a sixteen-year-old boy set out to document his family's Thanksgiving dinner. What he purportedly captured on his video camera was more than just a family get together. The following footage, if real, could be the most important evidence ever, supporting the possibility that we are not alone in the universe. This footage contains explicit and frightening images. Now for the first time ever, watch the complete and unedited tape and decide for yourself. Alien Abduction: Did it Happen? -Opening Narration \| Submitted By: TheCabinet

Trivia
UPN decided to run Alien Abduction: Incident in Lake County without the traditional, so-called "bumper tags," which were to run at the end of the commercial break and alert the viewers that the footage was entirely fictional. Without the standard taglines, several people were duped into believing the footage was real, which resulted in a backlash when the truth came out. Similarly, the UFO community was also very upset with the network over presenting the faux footage as somewhat genuine. A nation-wide boycott of UPN was started, but the effectiveness of that boycott is not known. Source: Writer/director Dean Alioto\| Submitted By: TheCabinet
