With all the peole who have just vanished do you think some have been abducted by AB’s or is it just an unfortunate fate of regular death of some sort?

There have been many people who have been abducted by AB's and who have not been seen again. There have also been quite a few that have been killed either accidently or intentionally. AB's unlike solamenta beings do make physical contact with us. Although AB's have other dimensional technology, they live in the same dimension we live in and so can make physical contact with us. Like all computer controlled societies, they have to justify all of their contact with humans, not only with their own hierarchy but with their computer. Accidents happen but other contact is justified, rightly or not, as a matter of survival.

Good luck in your journey-
