They may simply be anthropologists trying to study humans. They wanna come close to us and "buzz" us to gauge our reactions.

It seems to be working in that the number of people apparently involved is growing. They seem to be superior in that they report having weak telepathic abilities (at least when with aliens), being able to read other people's thoughts and also influence their behaviour. And they meet hybrids who look human but have strong telepathic abilities, and get the abductees to teach them how to fit in unnoticed on Earth, where some of them are posted. Sounds crazy I know, but not beyond the bounds of possibility.

As you may or may not know Jacobs relies mostly on eyewitness testimony (often under mild hypnosis, as they mostly have amnesia about abductions), which you might regard as too unreliable. But the primary verification is that the people involved, despite not knowing each other or previously about the subject, produce remarkably similar accounts, including of details not published anywhere nor found in science fiction. Also that when supposedly abducted they actually go missing without explanation.
