First, thanks for your speculation, like many Americans I grew up on a diet of television images of alien life forms as seen on The Outer Limits, X-Files, Twilight Zone, and grade B movies.
So, I know what you mean about stereotyped aliens. (Is Jabba the Hut a typical alien?)
I had the strangest conversation once, about 15 years ago while at my job in social services as a literacy coordinator. One afternoon a young African American man who had been out the US army for nearly a year; came in to our northwest side Chicago office, seeking to do some volunteer literacy work. (I have no proof he was ever in the US ARMY, I am just repeating what he told me at the time.)
Anyway, the young man heard a few of us joking about UFO's when he came in. After basic introductions we went to a conference room, at the conclusion of our brief interview he asked me if he could tell me his own experience of having been abducted while on a military base by a UFO. I am leaving out many details but he claimed that he and two other GI's from the same base were taken aboard a craft and he saw the classic thin tall greys with large black eyes,he said they were very bug-like and simulated or mimicked him as he cried in fear that he wanted to be leased. The beings had him and his buddies pinned down on a table and only released him after they placed what he believed was something into his scalp, in the back of his neck. They were captives for less than an hour.
The beings let the men go essentially in the same spot they were taken from. This young man was clearly still shaken in the retelling of his experience. I sat there, trying to be logical, I suggested he get some some professional help and a x-ray of his head.
I have left out many other details for the sake of brevity. OK, it was his story I am just sharing it.
