About 6,000 people have actually bought insurance policies that pay out $10 million if they can prove they were abducted by aliens. A Florida company has been selling them since 1987.

Since 1987, the St. Lawrence Agency in Altamonte Springs, Florida, has sold alien abduction insurance policies, later priced at $19.95–$24.95 each.

Payouts are structured as $1 per year for 10 million years and include extras such as psychiatric care, sarcasm coverage, and double identity coverage. Owner Mike St. Lawrence reported selling more than 6,000 policies by 2019. The company has received two claims and has reportedly paid out on at least one.
