Alien abduction implications in the Peter Pan story

I realized the other day that the traditional Peter Pan story contains many similarities with the alien abduction phenomena.

A litte guy comes into a bedroom at night.
Takes kids and fly off to a magical land where fantastic stuff happens.
Returns them the same way at the end of the story.

Could the writer have been inspired by abduction events?

Or perhaps alien abductions story are based on fantasy?

I don't believe that tough, just showing the other side of the coin.

Worse is the Father Christmas tradition. Stop calling him Father Christmas and it gets creepy:

Some bearded fat bloke in a red suit breaks into your house at night, he has cookie crumbs in his beard and reeks of Cherry, he goes into your kids bedroom at night while you and they are sleeping leaves things in some hanging stockings, leaves some "presents" in the living room and sneaks out again.

They do indeed but you know the link between tales and UFO has existed long before the Victorian period and many UFOlogosts had noted the similarity between fairy account's and UFO abduction's, missing time, time dilation were someone is gone for a few minutes but when they return years, decades or even century's have passed.

A mushroom or toadstool is surprisingly similar in appearance to a domed UFO on the ground after all as well and then you have fairy ring's which are ring's of mushroom's and scorches circular pattern's were a UFO may have landed both forming perfect circles.

I liked Jordan Peterson's take.

A young boy who can do whatever he wants, hate getting old, and isconstantly chasing his own shadow while being chased by an old man who hates clocks. While being chased by a giant crocodile who might as well resemble the end of the road for both of them.

All the while Wendy grows up an marries a doctor while Pans still a virgin.

And what about the fairy?
Small thing. Flies around. Emits a glowing light.
Sounds like the often reported orbs to me

And the fact that they stay young forever. Could be a time travel situation.
