Alien abduction was the action of being taken by aliens from one's home planet.

In 4000 BC, Humans were abducted from Earth to the hidden Assigners' planet approximately 1,000 light years away, where they and their descendants were given knowledge of future events and trained to work as agents on Earth to prevent Human civilization from destroying itself before it had the chance to mature into a peaceful society. (TOS: "Assignment: Earth")

The Preservers, known to Native Americans as "the wise ones", abducted and transplanted several tribes from Earth to Amerind, a planet nearly half-a-galaxy away. The planet was terraformed to replicate an Earth-like environment. (TOS: "The Paradise Syndrome")

In 19th century, Humans were abducted from Earth by the Skagarans. Several thousand Humans were taken from America's western rocky desert regions with their horses and cattle to work as slaves to help the Skagarans start a colony on a planet in the Delphic Expanse. In 2153, Enterprise NX-01 discovered the planet and the descendants of the abductees who had overthrown their Skagaran masters. (ENT: "North Star")

In 1937, the Briori from the Delta Quadrant also abducted over three hundred Humans from Earth, including the famous female pilot Amelia Earhart, to be used as slaves. The slaves later revolted and overthrew the Briori, establishing their own community on the planet. In 2371, the USS Voyager discovered some of the abductees in suspended animation and their descendants. (VOY: "The 37's")

Barash's species bears a resemblance to the Grays in popular alien abduction culture from the mid-20th century onwards.

In 2151, Subcommander T'Pol stated alien abduction conspiracies had been present on Earth "for centuries." She suggested that taking an Akaali up to Enterprise NX-01 might spawn a similar conspiracy on the Akaali homeworld. (ENT: "Civilization")
