What's up with the alien abductions?! Am I asking for trouble?

I have three Sims who are all in the Space/Astronaut field. Two are Space Rangers and one is one rung behind that. Not sure if that is part of why this is happening...

And he's baaaaack.... https://monsheridesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Sims-Alien-Abduction-web-ready.jpg

I decided to move them into the same household again (they are dad and two of his sons) and make a huge space/science themed home. Dad has been abducted one time before (freaked me out - in the middle of my night and his. Gotta keep this guy inside at night I guess ;) . Now tonight... I had just moved this household into the new home/lot a couple of 'Sim hours' before and this guy is supposed to be in bed (same guy abducted before, a Space Ranger)...and suddenly he is out in the back yard and being abducted again!! At least I got it on film this time. Hahaha...

So... is this going to be a regular thing for this guy? If they damage him or keep him I'm not going for that. Sorry, I will pull out the backups. That's a deal-breaker. He is the 'patriarch' of many of my households. So...
• Is there a way to prevent anything damaging?
• Should I be worried?
• I hope my 'space house' won't be a beacon for Aliens or anything. If you have the observatory or any other particular items are you asking for it?

If you want to see his abduction, here it is on video:

Why is it that those who long for something end up waiting, and waiting and waiting (if they ever get it at all) --- and those who would rather not, can't get rid of it? :p :* :/ :D o:)

If you have a lot of space rocks in your house you'll have higher chance of getting abducted.

My Sim Heath who was homeless at the time, no logic skills, no job, etc., was abducted while tending his yard sale table in the Spice Market common area. Until reading this thread, I couldn't figure out why. I figured it had to be a totally random occurrence, or the fact he was outside after Midnight. I'm thinking now it's because he took a rocket for a spin during Geekcon.

Must be the aliens are watching anybody that travels in space with a rocket and decided he might be a good specimen to examine. He also had come back with an alien in a jar, which he sold on the yard sale table that night. Maybe that had something to do with it too, like with the space rocks? Anyway, thankfully he didn't come back preggers though, just dazed.

Thanks for the insightful information @Sigzy05 :)
