If you believe you have been abducted by aliens – don't worry, you are not alone.

The UK's first support group for people who believe they have experienced alien abduction or other associated anomalous phenomena is holding its annual conference next month.

The Anomalous Mind Management, Abductee, Contactee Helpline (Ammach) is arranging the "Exposure Through Disclosure" event to provide a platform for people to share their extra-terrestrial experiences without the fear of being judged or ridiculed.

It is not uncommon for people to report being taken onto a craft and given a medical examination

The helpline has received approximately 1,500 calls since it began three years ago, from people who claim to be an "abductee" or "contactee", also known as "experiencers". Contactees are those who have made conscious contact with extra-terrestrials and abductees are those who are taken to an alien craft.

Founder and director Joanne Summerscales, told IBTimes UK: "It is not uncommon for people to report being taken onto a craft and given a medical examination, when on occasion sperm or ovum are taken, or implants inserted.

"Abductees are generally aware something is happening. Sometimes they remember being taken and have reported symptoms like being unable to move. Clearly, our space friends have full control over time and matter, as some people also not only feel, but are aware that they have been taken and returned through solid objects such as walls, doors, windscreens and windows.

"One of the experiencers told me they had interaction with a being who looked like the praying mantis insect, except this being was seven to nine feet tall, bipedal, and of high intelligence."

She said some experiencers have said there are around 60 different types of species interacting with humanity and the earth, with one group of extra-terrestrials known as "Nordics" because of their Scandinavian looks, with blond hair.

Summerscales believes that as more people develop confidence to come forward to share their experiences the more people will learn about the greater, wider truth of the "our true history", and "what our place is in this galaxy".

"The main drive behind Ammach is to widen the knowledge base, to explore and research it, and bring it into the public domain to inspire dialogue," she added.

"We are in a state our planet, and If any of this is true, once it is accepted as such, it will be revolutionary for humanity, and our development."

The conference at the White Rock Theatre in Hastings, East Sussex on May 31 from 9.30am to 6.30pm will be featuring six speakers who have been in touch with aliens including ex-soldier Mike Smith, and other researchers specialising in the field. For more information visit Ammach.
