So, we haven't had a decent alien abduction UFO case here in the UK since the 1990s, so is this because we no longer have Ufologists pushing witnesses towards hypnosis...?
Take the 2010 Roy Shaw Exmouth UFO:
"Lesser Known UK Flying Saucer/Contact Case:
The Phear Park Bowling Green Apparition, Exmouth, Devon, UK - 2010
"During the night of the 12th of February, 2010, lifelong paranormal skeptic Roy Shaw was walking his dog in Devon, England. Wandering through the quiet streets of his neighborhood, he began to approach his local Lawn Bowling club, when he was startled by an odd object hovering high up in the sky. Hazy and distant at first, it began to descend slowly and move nearer in his direction. Circular in shape, it suspended itself above the bowling club and Shaw entered the grounds to get a better look at the object. He watched in amazement as it zigzagged around, before landing on the far side of the green.
He was astounded to make out a 100ft long space craft, with blue and red lights streaming along it’s underside. At this point a 4ft high white apparition exited from the ship and floated towards him across the lawn. ‘It was about 4ft high and seemed to be translucent and moved very slowly towards us. I was transfixed because it made a droning noise, which sounded like “my, my” repeated over and over’ he later told newspapers. His dog, Sydney – an animal he stated is normally very placid – began growling and bearing its teeth at the spirit. At this point, Mr Shaw ran for his life, with such haste he twisted his ankle in the process. Another dog walker in the area claims to have seen the ship dart off into the sky at a 45 degree angle."

It is an intriguing case although it was suggested he saw Police vehicles under poor visibility (red and blue lights) and that the alien was a police dog (hence his dog's reaction, however I don't recall the Police stating they were there that night.
Anyway, here we have a credible and skeptical witness who was prepared to go on the record about a possible CE3,. I was in Exeter at the time and this made all the local and regional newspapers and even inspired a subsequent hoax*, but he has never recanted or elaborated on what he experienced.
Now imagine a self-proclaimed Ufologist had suggested there was missing time (10 minutes will do) and that he should go under hypnosis? I bet there would have been books written on the "Phear Park Alien Abduction" and it would probably have changed Ray's life forever (and not for the better)
*Practical joke by pub regulars on an elderly regular. After he left the pub late one night they hid behind a hedge and pretended to be aliens talking to him
