The evidence for alien abductions

Excellent état

The idea of an "alien abduction" - the kidnapping of a human being by non-human entities - is the very stuff of science fiction, and yet reports of such abductions are on the increase and now constitute a significant area of study for investigators of the paranormal.

John Rimmer hare provides a much-needed examination of the abduction problem in all its aspects, relating the claimed experiences to abductions in other contexts, such as fairy kidnappings and "white slave rumours", analyzing abductee types and describing the attempts to find hard evidence for such experiences.

This survey considers such question as :

- The physical evidence for abductions

- The universal nature of abduction imagery

- Hallucination theories

- The messages given to abductees

- The relationship with the UFO problem in general

- Are abductees "chosen" ?

- Psychologica effects of abduction experiences

- Investigation techniques

- The role of hypnotism
