In fact it was a running joke when I worked in a hospital when a set of notes went missing "the aliens had taken them".
Let's see, for beings capable of travelling lightyears, it seems rather stupid to only be able to get a grasp of human physiology by anal probes? Geez, even we have more effective methods, like MRI's and CAT scans.
The way I see it, it's somekind of freudian slip from the people that make up those stories.
