Wrong.
There are tribes that speak of ET visitation.

About the second video.
They are correct but they take it too far.
Indeed suggestion can create imaginary experiences and if a bad therapist is telling people its alien abduction then these people have literally allowed their selves to be tricked.
Sleep paralysis is also a well know condition. I've experienced it several times myself but I've never assumed anything about aliens to be associated with waking dreams or sleep paralysis.
What I see here is too extremes. At one end theres people saying "aliens are real I've been abducted". At the other end theres people combining conditions and therapies in an attempt to explain the phenomena.
I would say that actually its most likely that both extremes are true. Imagine if only 1 out of the thousands of people that claim to be abducted is telling the truth! One of mankind's greatest questions; Are we alone in the universe? Has been answered.
I've no doubt that some people are also lieing. Some are duped by dodgy therapies. Some just experience sleep paralysis and make up wild explanations!
On the other side of the coin though there are people who have been abducted while not asleep, they have multiple corroborating witnesses and did not need therapy to remember etc Look up the Travis Walton incident, there really is no rational way to explain the events in that incident. The most rational answer is that he was taken.
