There are lots of stories and experiences (from the general category of experiences during "altered states of conscience&quot of some "aliens" or members of "spirit world" doing that. Remember that "aliens" is just one cultural interpretation for very similar experiences that seem to be happening in many cultures. There are very similar stories about "elves" from middle ages.

What is interesting is that there seem to be some evolution happening, as the experiences about "encounters" seem to be generally changing into more understanding and compassionate and loving. There are now more and more stories about experiences of being called to share human comfort and tenderness with the "hybrid" children.

Many children - and also adults - have various "imaginary friends", which are interpreted also as "guardian angels", "spirit guides" etc. according to various cultural interpretations of these experiences. And also according to academic studies these experiences produce genuine psychological etc. help and learning, so the communication - how ever we interpret the "reality" of those communicated with - is in that sense meaningful and generally beneficial.
