Alien abduction and satanic ritual abuse are linked through shared narrative elements such as missing time and focus on sexuality [1], [2], and both are frequently studied as phenomena involving the social construction of false memories via hypnosis [3], [4], [5]. Researchers like Gwen Dean have identified numerous parallels between the two [6], [7], while others have theorized that both may be connected by similar neurological activity or psychological mechanisms [8], [9].

referenceSpanos, Burgess, and Burgess (1994) examined the social construction of memories related to past-life identities, UFO abductions, and satanic ritual abuse.
claimAlien abductions, satanic ritual abuse, and past-life identities are linked to the reconstruction of false memories in patients with high imagination and fantasy, which is associated with hyperactivity of the upper longitudinal fasciculus and altered functionality of the frontal lobe, prefrontal cortical regions, and hippocampal regions, as well as vascular deficits in the anterior artery of the Willis’s Polygon during high-stress situations.
referenceIn the 2007 paper 'Satanic abuse and alien abduction: a comparative analysis theorizing temporal lobe activity as a possible connection between anomalous memories', Paley J theorized that temporal lobe activity may serve as a connection between memories of satanic abuse and alien abduction.
