Yeah, very scary....except for that last time.....I'm amazed at the total lack of fear in me on that one.......when you know who's in charge...and you know you belong to Him.....there's NOTHING those things can do to you that you don't allow.......There's just something about that Name !!!
I can believe the sleep paralysis reasoning, and instantly remembered the "Old Hag" tale...saw an interesting show not long ago about sleep paralysis...sounds absolutely terrifying!
Found an interesting article about sleep paralysis, which also touches on the subject of Alien Abductions (towards the end of the article): http://www.sciencenews.org/articles/20050709/bob9.asp

Sleep paralysis produces many 'scenarios', not just the alien abduction 'theme' - and I do believe some "abductions" are from SP. But, on the other hand, I believe there's something more to the alien abduction experience. Travis Walton (as I mentioned..).
From the article mishi8 found, ..quoting the article..
Quote: "The late Harvard psychiatrist John Mack fueled the hubbub by defending the accounts as descriptions of actual encounters with visitors from other planets."
Notice the negative connotation the word "hubbub" has on the subject. As if to dismiss it as a joke.
Anyway, this has been an interesting topic.

"Hufford, however, regards the intrusion of REM activity into awake moments as inadequate to explain sleep paralysis. Dream content during REM sleep varies greatly from one person to another, but descriptions of sleep paralysis are remarkably consistent. "I don't have a good explanation for these experiences," he says. "

Well, the article is from sciencenews.org and so will approach such topics with skepticism. For more skepticism check out this entry from the Skeptic's Dictionary: alien abduction
Well...I"ve always enjoyed the movie..."Close Encounters of the Third Kind"....lol.....about as close as I'll come to "believing" in aliens visiting earth...!
