    Mid-air daylight takingof' ultra-light9 reportedBy Beverly Trout(Investigated by Beverly Trout , MU FON Iowastate director; assisted by Jonath an Long, field investi-gator trainee and state sect ion d i rector ; and LarryDeVilbiss, field investigator trainee)

    The fo l lowing inc iden treportedly occurred over a resi-dential area of Burling ton, IA, a taround 7 p .m. on A ug. 12, 1996,but was not reported to M U FO Nunti l Nov. 24 , 1997. T o explainth e t ime lapse: the primary wit-ness had called his local news-paper the morning fo l lowing thei n c i d en t , b u t because h e h a dplaced a work applica tion with asensitive installation in his area,he would not reveal his identi ty,and the reporter did not listen tohis story. Althoug h he shortly secured a job elsewhere,he kept hoping to be hi red for the sensitive job. Wh en,in July, 1997, he saw a story in The Des Moines Reg-ister giving information about MU FON and m y phonenumber , he saved the information . When he finallygave up on being h ired at the sensitive installation, hecalled me and the investigation b egan. This case raisessome interesting questions, but first the facts as reportedby the witnesses.The primary witness (whom I will call John),wh i le cut t ing weeds in a fence row in his side yard,heard a sound overhead-like tha t o f a Volkswagen mo-tor. It was sti ll a full hour before sunset, and as Johnlooked up he watched for about fifteen seconds as avery small ultralight-type craft approached from th enorthwest at about 20 0 feet alti tude, passing overheadas it moved southeast over his yard. John dropped histrimming tool and waved to what looked like an ap-propriately suited and helmeted pilot. A lthough th e pilotdid not wave back, he believes tha t th e pi lo t w as look-in g down at h i m .Because of surrounding tree foliage, the wit-ness ran out to the street trying to keep th e t iny craft inview, and i t was then that things began to get verystrange. John's view at th is point was of h is neigh bor ' shouse across th e street, to the r igh t of w h ich is a sma l lneighborhood park of perhaps one-acre size. As h ereached the street, he heard a low sound, somewhatless than the hum emitted by a microwave oven, andwas startled to see a flat-ended c ylind rical object, tan

    in color and wi th a plastic-looking 20'x 20' black "win-dow" a t i ts midsect ion . A part o f th is object , whichth e witness estimates at about 1 0 0 feet in length andabout 20 feet in d iameter , was a lready m oving aboveth e park, approaching from th e west and headed s lowlyeast on an in tercept ion course wi th th e small u l t ra l igh t"trike." Stunned , John watched for an est imated te nseconds, and then th e high s trangeness in tensi f ied .T he tr ike was now about 200 feet southeast ofJohn ' s house, and as the c iga r -shaped ob jec t ap -proached f rom behind , th e top-f ront one-th i rd of theobject opened-like a g ian t upper jaw-and the pilot andhis sma l l craft were taken/swallowed by the cy l inder ,this procedure taking an est imated f ive seconds. Dur-in g this "swallowing/docking" procedure , there wasno sound. (I t should be noted that as the UFO ap-proached , John saw the trike rum a bi t to the east, andhe wonders w hether th is was the norm al course beingfo l lowed by the pi lo t or wh ether th is mig ht have beenan evasive action by the trike pilot.)A s John watch ed , the UFO proceeded s lowlyon to a point about 200 feet east of his house, stoppedand hovered briefly, then made a sharp righ t ang le turnto its left (north). T he witness at th is point ra n i n to th ehouse to get his 24-year-old son (whom I wi l l ca l l Ri-chard). By the time Richard came out , the cyl inderwas now at a h igher a l t i tude of around 50 0 feet , butstill only about 250 feet east of the house . S lowly th eobject began to accelerate and ga in a l t i tude as i t thenmoved N N W over Burl ington , and in about te n sec-onds i t was gone.T he object, as it accelerated, seemed to chang ein color from tan to si lver.

    D r awin g by witness, "John."area at i ts midsection seemed to turn silver. But Johndoes not know if the color change was the result^ofacceleration, or whether sunlight may have reflectedon th e m etall ic surface to create an i llusion of silver asth e object moved. T he whole affair had lasted per-haps 60 seconds.Quest ions that we as investigators need to ask,even though w e have no way of f ind ing answers at thist ime: Was the "trike" actually an ultralight-type craft,or could i t have been a probe belonging to the UFOcylindrical object?Was the witness watch ing an actual m id-a ir ab-d u c t i o n , or co u ld t h i s h a v e been some so r t ofUFO-generated m ental manipula t ion of the witness 'percept ion?These are quest ions , of course, for wh ich w ehave no answers . Taken at face value, it would appearthat a UFO s imp ly took a sm all terrestrial craft and i tspilo t on board . What fo l lowed? W ho knows? If thiswas a mid-a i r abduct ion , as perceived, d id the trikepilot know he was taken? Assum ing that he was broughtback by the U FO, and i f he has no mem ory of beingtaken , it would seem that he mi g h t be puzzled by a"missing time" element . However , reading h is fuelgauge would seem to confirm his shorter time in theair (his craft hav ing been on board the UFO), and , a l-though he mi g h t be left with quest ions about th e inci-dent , he m ight possibly relegate it to only a minor pointof confus ion in his m ind because of the contradictioninvolving t im e and fuel consumpt ion .If , on the other hand , th e pilot D ID know hewas taken , who would he te l l? As invest igators , wehave never been opt imist ic about obta in ing informa-

    tion directly from th e "abductee pilot" in this case. Con-tacts with law enforcement agencies and the local air-port have turned up no one reported missing throughsuch an event, and no other witnesses h ave come for-ward . W hatever th e answers to the above questions,larger questions remain:(1) Wh y did the UFO initiate such an action over aresidential area at such close range?(2) Why d id the UFO allow th e action to be wit-nessed? Based on encounter reports, it would seemthat the UFO could have "switched of f ' any and allwitnesses in the area if i t had wished to do so.We ar e left, of course, with only the witnesses'perception of the incident. Incidentally, John m entionedto investigators that this is the third sigh ting of a cylin-drical object in the Burlington area that he knows about,and recounted th e other tw o sightings as follows:(1 ) 15-20 years ago, a cylinder w as reported abovea local radio station.(2) A s reported in the Burlington H a w k e y e news-paper a few months before John's sighting, a lady sawa cylinder w hile driving her car.A re the witnesses credible? A t first, John saidhis son did NOT want to be interviewed, because he is"shy." A nd when investigators arrived, the son wasnot present. As the interview progressed beyond in -door questioning, w e went outside to examine th e areaof th e sighting, and John re-created his perception ofth e t ime f rame of the incident.A s John ran ins ide th e house , h e verballycounted o ff the seconds i t had taken him to get his sonto come outdoors to see the UFO. A t that point, th eson, Richard, actually emerged from the house withhis father, and we had our opportunity to interview him .

    Who's there?By Donna BahorI had gone to an abduct ion conference , andw h i l e there met a fe l low abductee . The conference wasover and people were s tar t ing to leave . I sa t dow n wi thth is fe l low abductee and cha t ted . Then all of a suddenI heard th is buzz in my head . I told her tha t I heard th ebuzz and her reply was , "Who's there?" We both startedlaughing .Thir ty years ago, when I first started receivingthe buzzes as a chi ld , I wasn ' t laughing . How do I makepeople understand? The buzz sounds drove me up awal l then . Later I s tar ted dr iv ing m y parents up a wal lbecause I kep t cons tan t ly compla in ing abou t thosebuzzes in my head .The buzz sounds in my head began after anabduct ion , but for some reason I never thought the twowere related. A t least that 's wh at I though tat first. Even-tually my parents took me to an eyes, ears, and nosedoctor . My paren ts had had enough of my com plain ingand I w ould learn some h arsh lessons . I was taken tothis doctor to have my ears checked for a cause to thebuzz sounds in my head .He ch ecked my ears, and then stood in front ofme. I 'm not sure what happemed next, but I think hechecked m y nose . What I do know for sure is that avery small pewter colored cyl inder fell into h is r ight

    h a n d . He said , "Where d id th is come f rom?" I had anawfu l feel ing w h e r e th e object had come f rom and howit got there . T he doctor then threw th e object in thewaste baske t .W h e n th e doctor w as done wi th h is examina-t ion, he told m y paren t s that he could f ind no cause forth e buzz sounds in my head and tha t I was making itup. I was hur t . I knew w h a t I was exper iencing . T hebuzz sounds s topped fo r abou t a w eek . I was abductedagain . This t ime they put som eth ing beh ind m y r ightear. T he buzzes in my head began again. Th i s t im e1 said no thin g. I had learned my lesson. For probably amon th af terward I was b leed ing beh ind m y righ t ear. Iw as t rying to dig out whatever w as there wi th m y nails.A f t e r a w h i l e I gave up and accepted th e fact tha t wha t -ever was in my head w as going to stay there . Eventhough th e buzzes pers is ted , I learned to ignore them .A few years ago I learned that I wasn ' t th e onlyone who received these buzz sounds . Someone sug-ges ted tha t we wr i te down when we hea r the buzzsounds and com pare t imes. Well , I wrote down w henand how long th e buzzes lasted. T he problem w as thatI would never see that person again . Now, what do Ido? I decided to wa tch when I received th e buzz sounds.

    About th e authorMrs. Bahor, 44, who lives in Ohio and hascompleted tw o years of college, reports tha t she hashad a significant num ber of interactions with UFOs.For awhile I though t I had solved this mystery.But then maybe I had only part of the mystery solved.Patterns began to form . If I received a buzz at night,the next day I would receive something in the mailpertaining to UFOs, like The MUFON UFO Journal .One day I got a buzz in the morn ing , so Ithought that I might receive a phone call from an ab-duct ion group. Indeed, I got a phone call f rom an ab-duction group. Som etimes in the day I would h ave painin my chest. My im mediate concern w as my heart. Laterthat day I would receive a buzz. One t ime m y stomachw as bothering m e. Later I received a buzz. I was fine.A s far as I know I am in perfect health.One day I was on the phone with someone dis-cussing U FOs when I got a buzz. I asked th e person ifhe had heard the buzz. He told me he heard buz zes allthe t ime. I then asked him i f he checked his body formarks. He told me he had them. He w as an experiencer.Th i s w as wei rd .At f irst I thought all buzz sounds were th esame. Boy, was I wrong. M y buzz sounds like an BBSsigna l. I learned that some abdu ctees hear tones, whileothers hear hums. S t i l l o thers hear something else.Perhaps there are no two buzzes alike.In conclusion, do I have any definite answers?Maybe not . W hat I do have i s something that shouldbe looked at mo re closely. In order to learn th e truth,one must s tar t somewhere . Maybe th is is one suchp la ce . BU ZZ, BU ZZ, W HAT AR E YO U TE L L INGM E ?Editor's Note: If other abductees have com-men ts on this article, I'd like to hear from them.Also, George Filer, MUFON ' s Eastern direc-tor, reports that a Dr. R. Leir and a D errel S ims dem-onstrated in a meet ing at Thousand Oaks, CA , tha tmarkings on abductees which are not normally visible

    ca n show up under a "black light" (the kind used atHallow een parties, etc.). T hey report that the lightshows w hat appear to be fluorescent markings, green-is h in color and not easily washed off . They report-edly last f rom one hour to perhaps te n days, accordingto Leir and Sims. A variation, reported in regard towomen who had held hybrid babies, was red f luores-cent markings where th e babies contacted their bod-ies. T he suggestion at the meeting w as that abducteeskeep a black light handy an d check frequently for themarkings . If anyone has any in formation on this, proor con, let me know.

    Using hypnosis asan investigative toolBy Anthony 0. ConstantinoAs a "lay consultant in hypnosis" volunteer forM U FO N, I would l ike to explain briefly th enature of hyp nosis and i ts role as an investiga-tive tool to help "alleged" U FO abduc tees recall theirexperiences.Hypnosis is a normal, natural state of relax-ation in which a willing subject is able to accept sug-gestions from a hypnotis t . T he suggestions m ust relateto the concern for w h i ch th e subject originally soughtth e services of the hypnotis t , and they must conform tothe subject 's moral and ethi-cal paradigm.

    To expla in th is phe-nomenon to potential clientsand to students w ho take m ycourse in hypnosis at our lo-ca l communi ty college, I usea "flashlight analogy."SleepingW h e n a s u b j e c t i ssleeping, h is "consciousnessswitch" is OFF, and he does not interact w ith his envi-ronment; thus, there is no light beam. Normally, he wil lremain in this state unti l his body arouses him when

    h is need for sleep has been satisfied, or unt i l his alarmclock awakens h im .During sleep, hopefully, a built-in safety mea-sure wi l l awa ken him to respond to a variety of emer-gencies: bathroom, smoke alarm, crying baby, etc. Ob-jective tests (i.e. , galvanic skin response, respiration,EE G, metabolism) can ident i fy th is s ta te arid i ts depthat any given t ime.Meditat ingW hen a subject is m editating, his "conscious-ness switch" is ON, so he is consciously aw are of hissurroundings, yet he does not interact with his envi-ronment; thus, there is no l ight beam. Think of medi ta-tion as "suspended consciousness," or "suspendedthinking." To achieve this state, the subject uses anynumber of meditation techniques to sti ll his mind, in-cluding counting or repeating a "mantra" (objectiveword). This state can also be objectively measured.From "Physiological Effect s of Transcenden-ta l Meditation," by Dr. R. K . Wallace, Science, Vol.167, No. 3926, 1970: "...oxygen consum ption , heartrate, skin resistance, and EEG were recorded before,during, and after subjects pract iced . . . t ranscendenta lmedi ta t ion . T here w ere s ign i f icant changes between

    th e contro l per iod and the medi ta t ion period in a l lmeasurements. . .Physiologically, the state produced byTM seems to be d is t inct from commonly encounteredstates of consciousness, such as wakefulness , sleep,and dreaming, and from altered states of conscious-ness, such as hypnosis and auto-suggestion." (boldface is mine . )

    ConsciousnessD u r i n g co n sc i o u sn e s s th e "consciousnesssw itch" is ON, an d the subject interacts with his env i-ronment w ith a variety of sights, smells, sounds, tastes,and touches. Note the "shotgun" effect of the l ightbeam. Indeed, that is the problem. T oo many st imuliimpinge upon his consciousness, so he m ust select thoseto which he w ill g ive his attention.Sometimes he wi l l qu iet some senses to in-crease the s ensi t iv i ty of another , as w hen he averts h iseyes and cocks h is head to hear better, or w h e n hecloses his eyes an d sh uts out noise to better visu alizehow to position more accurately tha t nut or bolt in tha thard-to-reach place. Th is state is ver if iab le by obser-vation and also by objective measurement.

    HypnosisDur ing hypnosis the "consciousness swi tch"is ON, but now the subject 's interaction with h is envi-ronment is focused into a single beam-as powerfu l toth e conscious and unconscious as the single focusedbeam of a laser. Here the subject has agreed with thehy p no t i s t to l i m i t i n co mi n g s t i mu l i O NL Y t o thehypnot i s t ' s voice, and to l imi t his projection into th eenvi ronment only to the hypno t i s t .Here is the important point: there are NO ob-jective, measu rable tes ts which can determ ine a differ-ence between the conscious state and the h ypno tic state.Sleep and med i ta t ion are di f ferent states of conscious-ness with object ive measurem ents which show differ-ences between them and consciousness ; hypnosis i san altered state of consciousness.W h i l e direct suggestion can el ici t physio logi-cal changes to the subject, the hyp nosis per se causesN O object ive , measurable physio logical d i f ferenceswhich would d is t inguish it from consciousness. Exceptfo r profound re laxat ion and concentration, conscious-ness and hypnosis are essent ia l ly th e same state ofmind!

    Subject knows everythin gUnders t and tha t under h ypnos i s th e subjectknows everyth ing tha t is occurring-whether a tooth isbeing dri l led or an append ix removed wi thou t bene f i tof anaesthesia. T he subject does N OT "black out,"retains control at all times, can open h is eyes, and canen d the session any tim e he chooses. He can, and will ,remem ber everyth ing that was sa id and done; any sug-gestion to the contrary w i l l wear off in a few days . H e

Apparent ly , in a s tateof deep re laxat ion, i t becomes easier-no guarantees,j u s t easier-to recal l memories long forgot ten or re-pressed.

    Two types of recallThe re are two types of recall: "pseudo-regres-sion" means that the subject is remembering w hat oc-curred. This i s de termined by not ing that the subjectspeaks in the past tense: "He sat to my lef t .""True regression" mea ns th at the subject is re-l iving w hat occurred. T his i s de termined by not ing thathe speaks in the present ten se: "He's si t t ing to my left."T he subject 's body m ay also correspond to his state-ment , such as his head turning to the left or his armpoint ing in tha t di rection.E xperience tells me i t is NOT possible to "lead"a subject into be l ieving something i s true that is nott rue . When work ing wi th abductees, I 've rephrasedquest ions to f ind inconsi s tent answers and uncoverednone . I 've rephrased ques t ions wi th mis in form at iononly to have subjects correct me. ("Is that the alienyou like?" "No," w ith some im patience, "that 's the oneI don't like!")

    Confabulat ionThe re i s a phenomenon in hypnos i s ca l l ed"confabu lation." If the hypno tist persists and pressureswith a par t icular ques t ion, th e subject mig ht fill in gapswith w h a t he thinks is the answer , and not wi t h wha the know s is the answ er. It 's not deliberate lying; i t's aneffort to relieve th e pressure th e subject migh t be feel-ing from the hypnot i s t . A ny competent h ypnotist know sthis and re f rains from anyth ing that m ight e l ic i t con-fabula t ion.M y work wi th U FO abduc tee s is open to scru-t iny to anyone who reads TheAllagash Abductions byRay Fowler, since i t is I who worked wi th him and thefour abductees chronicled in that book . M y work alsoconsti tutes th e last third of T h e Watchers, also by RayFowler. Hopefully, this brief article will pu t into per-spective th e controversy that careful and qualif ied hyp-notis ts are caus ing UFO abductees to " invent" the i rexper iences by "leading" t h e m . More construct ivewould be efforts marshal led to he lp d e termine what i sbe ing done to these abductees, w h y it 's being done,and t hen to help them adjust and cope w i th that knowl-edge .

    Recent images weaken argumentfor artificial structures on Mars

    Th e case for artificial s tructures on Mars (seesidebar book review) has dimmed somewhat follow-in g images from th e Mars Global Surveyor releasedby NA S A on A pril 5 and 14 respectively. Dr. M arkCarlotto, one of those who strongly felt that 1976 Vi-king images suggested someth ing had been constructedon the Red Planet, now says that it is possible tha t th eface is a feature of geology.He adds, how ever, that some features, such asa uniform "beveled edge headdress" encircling th e face,still suggest artificiality. Othe r factors wh ich continueto give hope to those who had argued that th e face w asnot natural include a poor cam era angle and h aze wh ichlimited image resolution.Professor Stanley McDaniel , co-founder andspokesperson for th e Society for Planetary S E T I Re-search (SPS R), ed itor and one of the authors of A Casefor the Face, and a former critic of NASA's lack ofinterest in the Cydonian region, praised NASA for itscooperation in targeting this area. Dr. McD aniel , wh owill be a speaker at this year 's MU FON InternationalSymposium in Denver, has indicated disappointmentin the initial images, but says tha t no single im age w illanswer th e question, since there ar e "more than tw odozen" form ations th at indicate a high probabil ity thatthey are not natural . SPS R scientists had previouslyconcluded that the chances were at least a thousand toone in favor of the Cydonia region con taining artificialstructures.Dr . Tom Van Flandern, one of the authors ofTh e Case for the Fac e , took a more positive view ofthe early images . He says the feature s of the face wereactually confirmed by the new photo, "despite poorlighting and poor viewing angle," poin ting specificallyto the "headdress" and other linear and rounded fea-tures. Van Flandem concludes that "nothing yet seenon our moon or any other solar system surface besidesEarth suggests artificial ity to a comparable degree."Interest remains hig h in tha t portion of Cydoniadubbe d "the city," since this is the area wh ich research-ers say has the most promise of artificiality. T he Apr i l14 image missed the targeted area of "the City" byabout 1.5 kilometers and showed nothing of real inter-est. The next imaging attempt, set for April 23,(which had not been completed at this writing) wassupposed to again target "the city." Wh ether there willbe additional attempts to secure hig h-resolution imagesof the Cydonia region after A pril 23 is unknown at thispoint.

W ritten tojust ify a closer look at possibly art ificial structures inth e Cydonia region of Mars, th e desired closer lookprovided in April seemed to make this hypothesis lesslikely (see story elsewhere on this page). While th eevidence for the "face" and other "structures" beingartificial has not disappeared, i t has certainly lessened.In a way it's a shame Th e Case for the Facewas not published months earl ier . T he recent imageswill und oubte dly hurt readership, and the 20 scientistsw ho contributed interesting, informative articles to thisbook deserve a wider readership than they are l ikelyto have.This s tory actual ly begins when NASA senttwo spaceships to Mars in 1976 at a cost of more than$2 bi ll ion. Wh ile the two landers found no def in i t ivesigns of life, the orbiting spacecraft sent back a total of51,539 images over a period of about four years . How -ever, only about one-fourth of these have been ana-lyzed, due to lack of funding.Of the images that were publ ished, one show-in g w hat appeared to be a "face" in the Cydonia areacaught the interest of some scientists . NA S A , how -ever, came up with a second image an d announced thatth e face w as only an ordinary hil l .Later , aerospace researchers Vincent DiP ietroan d Gregory Molenaar utilized their newly-developedStarburst Pixel Interleaving Technique (SPIT) on thefirst image, and the results seemed to indicate an artifi-cial s tructure. NASA w as unable to provide a copy ofthe second image ("misfiled"), but the researcherseventually found eight other images which seemed toindicate the face w as artificial. An o ppor tuni ty for ad-

    ditional images was missed w hen the Mars Observerspacecraft w as lost in 1993, supposedly due to an ex-plosion just prior to arriving on Mars.Du ring the past few mo nths, interested scien-tists, including Professor Stanley V. McD aniel , workedvery hard to convince NA S A to util ize the Global Sur-veyor to map the Cydonia area again in April of thisyear.

    Austral ian AbductionResearch: 1995-97By Keith BasterfieldT his is the fif th in a series of articles w hic h 1have wri t ten/co-authored s ince 1989 to report on anum b e r of aspects of the abduct ion phenomenon inAustra l ia . In the f irst four articles I commented that ,unl ike the U.S . and elsewhere ,UFO abduct ion accounts hadnot really hit the mains t reammass med ia here in A ustra l ia .However, th e past three yearsf inal ly saw the mass med ia ' sat tent ion d r a w n to the subjectof UFO abduct ions .C e n t r a l t o t h i s h a sbeen a num ber of factors. First,t h e l a r g e s t n u mbe r o f U FObooks ever to have been pub-l i shed in A u s t r a l i a in a 12-month period hit the shelves.T he f i rs t A ust ra l ian book w r i t-ten by a local abdu ction experiencer appeared in 1996.Tit led Encounter, and authored by a Victor ianw o ma n , Kel ly Cahi l l , it related her own experiences,plus some of the details of the subsequent investiga-t ion by John A uchet t l of Melbourne . A uchet t l reportedthat he had uncovered and in terviewed the three mem -bers of a second, independent party to the events thatCah i l l re la ted . La te r , de ta i l s abou t a s ix th pe rsonemerged , also placing him at the si te.Encounter received widespread publici ty in avarie ty of high prof i le comm ercia l magazines . In addi-tion, an associated p ublic ity tour involved a large num-ber of radio , TV , and lecture appearances for Cahil l .Also in 1996, we ll-know n researcher Bill Chalker ' sbook, The O z Files, hit the scene, including a first chap-ter presentation of the Cahi l l event. In pu blicising hiswork, Chalker undertook numerous m edia appearances.

    My own work , UFOs: A Repor t o n AustralianEncounters, appeared in May of 1997. In i t , amongother things, I reported details of a range of Austral ianabduction cases from over th e years. I also presentedm y then current v iews on the nature of the abduct ionphenomenon. As wi th Cahi l l and Chalker , the bookrelease was accompanied by h igh prof i le publici ty .Secondly, two in ternat ional UFO sym posiumsadded to the in formation flow.

    search and experiences rated high ly on the agenda, w ithtalks by John M ack, Whit ley Strieber , John Carpenter,and myself , among o thers . All added thei r personalviewpoints on the abduct ion phenomenon.Third ly , th e part ic ipants of the March 1996Casino (New South Wales) case went public, appear-in g on a number of mainstream electronic media out-lets. T he total publicity surrounding the release of thethree books and the Casino case exceeded by far theprevious exposure given to the abduction subject inAustralia. Media interest finally waned this spring.A s regards cases, tw o events dominated th eperiod 1995-1997, These were th e Belgrave (Cahill)case and the Casino (New South Wales) episode.In the Belgrave incident it is reported that sixpeople in three separate vehicles, ind epende nt of eacho the r , were p resen t a t a loca t ion just ou ts ide o fMelbourne, Victoria, in Au g u s t of 1993. They wereinvolved in a close encounter, with some of them re-membering an abduction. Details of the case, as thenknown, were documented in two articles by this au-thor in the M U F O N UFO Journal.Since that article, some details of the secondparty's recollections have appeared in Cahi lFs book,which also featured partial results o f Auch ettl 's inspec-tion of physical traces from the si te. T he B ritish U FOMagazine published the partial contents of a letter fromth e wife of the sixth person. Despite the inabili ty ofother researchers to independently interview the sec-ond party, or for any researcher to interview the thirdparty, as well as the lack of peer review of Auchet t l ' sfield data , the case appears an important one.A classic "missing time" event, which underhypno sis turned into a classic abd uction, is reported tohave occurred on the night of March 16, 1996, nearCasino, N ew South Wales. T w o adults, travelling withtheir children, reported observing unusual lights andexperiencing a period of missing time on a trip betweenLismore and Grafton . Regression hypnosis revealedthat their vehicle had been stopped by a UFO, and thefamily abducted and taken onboard , where medicalexaminations were conducted. T he family memberswere then returned to the ir vehicle. A large number ofunusual s ide effects were noted.T he type of abduction event being reported inthis country continues to vary from "missing time" to"full blown" 'abduction. How ever, I note that ma ny ofth e mo re recently reported episodes are likely to fea-ture fewer elements of a ful l blown abduct ion . Thesecases are heavy on "missing time," or "dreams" tha t

How ever, she was unaw are of any other fac-tors which might indicate an abduction had occurred.Another was from th e girlfr iend of a man whonormally walked between w ork and hom e in 40 min-utes, but who on one occasion took twice this lengthof tim e, but could n' t ex plain to her why he was late.Although there was no other indicator, she believed hehad been abducted.Quite a few of these "dream" abductions ar eemerging from non-trad itional health sessions, for ex-ample myofac ia l massage. E pisodes or ig inat ing inmoving m otor vehicles are relatively few and far be-tween. Most, in fact, are bedroom intrusions.What types of enti ties ar e being reported? Pre-viously, most Au stralian experiences were describingth e classic No rth A m erican gray, but of late there havebeen accounts of a "praying mantis" an d even "reptil-ians." However, the grays continue to dom inate de-scriptions. One i tem of the North A merican abduct ionscene which has not been reported here, to the best ofm y knowledge, is the involvement of "military" fig-ures in abductions.What of A ustra l ian research into th e phenom-enon during these years? Regretfully, little in the wayof research appears to have been undertaken, and, ifunde r taken , not been published by the major UFOgroups during th e period under review.

    T he author undertook a sm all scale question-naire survey of Austral ian abductions, looking specifi-cally at the reported after-effects. At a meet ing on June23 , 1996, 130 copies of the survey questionnaire weredistributed in Melbourne, and with Volume 3 Number3 of the newslet ter of the Austra l ian UFO Abduct ionStudy Centre, and 54 completed questionnaires werereceived back, a return rate of 41%. Using th e Centrefor UFO Studies' (Rodeghier et al 1991) definit ion ofan abduction which is (in abbreviated form):"A witness must be taken against his or herwill from normal, terrestrial surroundings by non-humanbeings . . . to another enclosed space .. . assumed by thewitness to be a spacecraf t . . . subjected to variou s pro-cedures .. . remembered consciously or through vari-ous means .. . such as hypnosis."Let's list th e sta tements where more than tw othirds of respondents agreed in the affirmative:"I have begun to channel information fromsome other source" (78%) "I have had an increase inthe number of dreams 1 recall (70%) "I feel I receiveinformation somehow from elsewhere" (92%) "1 feel Iam more psychic than before" (89%) "I read morebooks about UFOs" (70% ) "I experience strange flows

    of energy through m y body" (83%) "I sometimes getf lashbacks to my experience" (79%) "M y intuition hasincreased" (96%) "I often know things ar e going tohappen before they do" (90%).Statements about life changes where there w asan increase greater than or equal to 4.0 (scale of 0-5)were: "Concern for spiri tual matters" (4.0) "Desireto achieve a higher consciousness"(4.6) "Belief in ah igher power" (4.3) "Interest in the possibi l i ty ofextra-terrestrial life" (4.7) "Feel I have a task to per-form" (4.3) "Feel that major changes will occur toE arth" (4.3) "Feel I have been chosen" (4.0) "Appre-ciation of nature" (4.1)I also prepared, in late 1997, an updated ver-sion of "An Australian and New Zealand abductionan d apparent abduction catalogue." This catalogue isavailable on the Internet at the following address: http//www.iufog.org/project 1947/kbabduct.htm.I established th e national level Au stralian UFOAbduct ion Study Cent re , a t ime l imited researchproject, in May of 1994 with a number of aims. ByJune of 1997, having m et these aims, it closed. Duringthat period, some 150 persons inquired on the Centre'shotline about being potential experiencers. These werereferred to the appropriate state level UFO and sup-port groups fo r follow-up. Twelve issues of a network-in g newsletter were published by the Centre, and dis-tributed to health professionals, UFO researchers, andexperiencers in this country.In order to collate and compare A ustralian ab-duction experiences, I called on a number of occasionsfo r a national level database to be established. How-ever, UFO research an d experiencer support groupshave not seen th e need for such a research tool.Although the past three years have brough t thepresence of some high profile experiencers, most indi-viduals prefer anonymity. For the latter, a number ofexperiencer support groups continue to provide an es-sential service to those coming forward. Such groupsexist in Brisbane (Queensland), Sydney (New SouthWales), Melbou rne (Victoria) and Perth (Western Aus-tralia.) A ll provide both one on one, and group sup-port.

    "Where have all the good old fashioned UFOcases gone?" is one of the lame nts I continue to hear.One of the tasks I have undertaken for many years,since 1978 actually, is the compilation of national levelUFO sightings. Although many hundreds of raw UFOreports ar e received by the more than 30 UFO groupsin th e country, only a relatively small percentage re -mains unidentif ied after rational research. Precise fig-ures are hard to come by, but my fee ling, after talkingto researchers around th e land, is that abduction caseshave indeed replaced good old physical trace events

    Ufology profileLonnie Zamora remembers

    By Joseph R. CalamiaOne of the classic UFO cases took place onApr i l 24, 1964, at Socorro, NM, witnessed by LonnieZamora , a Socorro pol iceman . At the t ime of theSocorro incident I was 17 years old. I had the opportu-nity to visit the land ing site one or two w eeks after th eoccurrence, and recall view ing remnants of the charredbrush and fading scorch marks. This s ite became the"holy grail" to my own interests an d experiences onthe subject of Unidentif ied Flying Objects .As time passed, interest in the case stagnated,physical evidence vanished w ith th e desert w inds, andnew cases caught our atten tion. Socorro became onlya passing though t for everyone. T hat is , everyone ex-cept Lonnie Zamora! Mr. Zamora's existence changed,simply because h e was the officer on duty who justhappened to be in "hot-pursuit" of a speeding motoriston that Apr i l day so long ago.He un w ill ingly was given the starr ing role in afantastic real-l ife drama th at would change his life for-ever. I, too, had never forgotten this sighting, and inMarch I was finally able to ta lk with M r. Zamora aboutthis event and its effects on him.Dionic io Zamora (Lonnie 's t rue name) w asborn Sept. 7 ,1933 , in Magdalena, NM , to the parentalunion of Dom ingo Zam ora, and the former RafalitaGomez. The Zamora family moved to Socorro whenLonnie was approximately 10 years of age. One of ninechildren, his forma tive years were harsh, and there w aslittle or no time for the niceties of life.Lonnie said he joined the New M exico Na-tional Guard at age 17, serving for 24 years . A lthough ,Lonnie never sa w combat, he was called upon to helpsuppress prison riots in the 80's. He recalls joining theSocorro Police Depa rtmen t at age 18 in 1951 as apart-time officer.At age 21 , he became a full tim e police officer,covering the f u l l gamut of problems w ithin a small com-munity, including bar-room brawls, domestic disputes,an d tragic automobile accidents . He was no strangerto trauma. On Apr i l 24 , 1964, he was a 31-year-oldpoliceman with more than ten years of field experi-ence. On that day, his experience an d perceptions w ouldbe put to the ultimate test.Zamora stated th at he had never had any priorinterest, knowledge, or unders tanding of UFOs unti lthe day of the occurrence, noting that he did not re-mem ber even h earing the word u ntil the incident. Re-calling the experience, he said, "M y partner, a part-tim e

    Lonnie Zamoraofficer, wanted to go home early to eat supper with hiswife," so Zamora d ropped his par tne r off and w ent tospeak w ith someone. S udd enly he saw a speeding car.It was the pursuit of that ca r tha t led to the s igh t ing atapproximately 5:45 p.m .Lonnie stated that he saw a blue flame in thedesert area, and a dust cloud rise into th e air . He ini-tially thought that some type of crash had occurred,and therefore imm ediately s topped th e hot-pur su i tanddrove off into the desert area to investigate. Zamorastated that as he drove up to the area he noticed a wh iteobject in the ra vine near an old dy na m ite shack. Hesaid he thought the object was an overturned car ortruck. Lonnie stated that he never actually saw anycreatures. He said he did see two objects th at appearedto be w hite overalls in the imm edia te proximity of thecraft, but the figures were ind iscern ible at the distancethat he first observed th e scene. He said that they mus thave been there (near the ship) because of the foot-prints that were later located.He said he soon became aware of the fact tha tthe white object on the desert floor was not an over-turned car or truck. Zamora stated that he was on theair with his dispatcher as he drove up to the scene, butth e police radio soon quit, as did the car engine. Herecalled that the radio had to be fixed later , but he w as

Lonnie said he recalls hearing a "sliding noise"of doors or windows pr ior to the object's departure,.and that he was alone in that area fo r about 30 minutesbefore th e arrival of his colleagues.Zamora kindly drew a picture of the craft asseen from his vantage point. He also drew the insigniawhich he observed on the craft (see sketch), and wasadam ant that th e insignia w as black in color an d showedwell against the w hite background of the craft.Asked his opinion of what the craft was, hereplied, "I really can' t tell you, but I know it wasn'tfrom here. I t was not from here. They (Government)were not that advanced at that t ime. I don't think so.Maybe they were, but I don 't think so."Zamora stated t hat he would not report such athing again. In fact, he adm itted that he really did notwish to make th e report of the s ighting, but after con-ferring with his supervisor i t was decided that a reportmust be filed. Lonnie stated he could see and smell th elanding area, which w as still smoking after th e depar-ture of the craft. A large rock which had been directlyunderneath th e craft had actually been melted in two.Lonnie reported that, shortly thereafter , an AirForce officer had walked dow n to the landing site witha geiger counter in hand. Lonnie clearly remem bersthat th e needle to the geiger counter sl iced into th ered-zone, bu t slowly dissipated after more time hadpassed. Zamora recalls asking th e officer if radiat ionw as present, but the officer told him there w as none.Lonnie recalls that he was up the entire nigh tof the incide nt fil l ing out reports and answering a bar-rage of ques tions from num erous la w enforcement andgovernment agencies. He was interviewed by the StatePolice, FBI, M ilitar y Intell igence, and Chief Investi-gator for Project Blue Book Maj. Hector Quintanilla.Add i t iona l interviews were held with newspaper re -porters and representatives of UFO organizations.Lonnie recalls that his household w as delugedwi th telephon e calls from almos t everywhere ima gin-able. Ma ny of the calls were of a haras sing nature, andcaused Lonnie, his wife , and two chi ldren a great dealof grief. Zamora recalls the num erous interviews withDr. J. Allen Hynek, an d spoke very highly of him. A p-parently Mr. Zamora mainta ins contact with some ofth e individuals w ho became involved in this unwanteddrama. Zamora stated that he has never commercial-ized on this incident. Although he once acted as anadvisor for a film on the subject, he quickly told th eproducer that he did not have t ime for such things, an dneeded to return to his work. Lonn ie told m e that hehad recurr ing nightmare s in which he would awake inthe middle of the night in a wet sweat. These dreams

    Symbol observed by Lonnie Zamora in 1964.lasted about tw o weeks after th e incident. T he dreamsceased, but he candidly admits that he fears "it" willreturn some day.Th is fear remains ingrained in him . He said hewas in itially troubled by the entire situation and sough tassistance from his priest, conferring with his priestfo r several months after his exposure to the UFO. Asto why he was involved in this event, he says, "I don ' tknow. It happened to me, so that 's what God wantedf o r m e to see."Lonnie is (at this writing) 64 years of age, an dappears to be in basically good health. However, hecontends that he has developed a "tingling sensation"on his left side which runs around his back area an ddown into his r ight leg. He has had numerous med icalexams, including an MRI, but there is nothing to sub-stantiate any specif ic phys ical ailment. Zamora seemsto believe that this condition becomes more prevalentwh en he is faced with s tressful s ituations or anxieties .Lonnie continued his employment as a policeofficer for about tw o years after the UFO occurrence.He decided to leave the force an d found employmentelsewhere. Zamora continues to work every day, andseems to be content in his life-style.H e ap p ea r s to be a h a r d w o r k i n gultra-conservative realist who has no time for sciencefiction novels or Star-Wars movies. In fact, I doubtseriously if Mr. Zamora ever saw Star Wars. He is aman of tangible realities w ho believes in what he cansee, touch, smell , and hear. I believe that LonnieZamora told th e t ruth , and nothing but the t ruth , d e-spite the fears, uncertainties, and ridicule of the time.

    MUFON UFO Jo u rna l M ay 1998 Page 15Picking Up the Gaunt le tA Response to The Threat,a book by D avid Jacobs, Ph .D.

    By Joe Lewels , Ph .D.There are so few scholars in the wor ld todaywho are s tudying th e al ien abduct ion phenom enon thatone would think they wou ld eager ly embrace one an-other, like survivors of a shipwreck on a deserted is -land. W he n I entered thi s exclus ive c lub , I truly be-lieved that it would be that way . A bduct ion research-er s l ive a lonely life in an academic an d scient if ic com-muni ty tha t turns i ts collective nose up at them andscoffs at the mention of the subject.The few researchers, I imagined , mus t all beclose friends, eager to share the i r knowledge and in-sights and to seek out new ideas in their efforts to solvethis bizarre an d complex m ystery. I t hought that it wouldbe as obvious to them, as i t was to me, tha t wh at isneeded is a radical new way of thinking to dea l wi th apheno m enon that seems to emanate from a strange newreali ty, and which has eluded science for so long. Ibelieved that no one mind or way of thinking couldpossibly be suff icient to t ruly unders tand w hat i t wasall about .Different viewsI realized tha t there were different views amongth e m aj o r r e s e a r c he r s . T he r e we r e t ho s e de e p lygrounded in accepted scientific principles an d meth-

    odology . (God knows w e need them to help us dis-cover the who, w hat , when, w here and how of the alienagenda.) But I also be l ieved that we needed thosewho se ideas , theor ies , and techniques were beyond thecurrent scope of science to help us discover the "why"of the mystery. W e needed people with innova tive ideasand revolutionary theories to counterbalance those ofth e tradi t ional researcher.Some of these original thinkers, although un-orthodox by current standards, could be the ones tofind new av enues of approach or to stum ble upo n somebreakthrough, as is often th e case with scient if ic in -quiry. Because this has been proved time and time againin history, I believed that those in the research com mu -nity would respect one another's work an d gladly learnfrom each other, w hi le at the same t ime forming a sortof uni ted front against cri t icism from outs ide . But , Iguess I was wrong .David Jacobs has th rown d own the gaunt le t tomost other abduction researchers in his current book,The Threat, and he has unfairly singled out perhapsth e m o s t p r e s t i g i o u s m e m b e r o f t h e r e s e a r c hconununi ty , Dr . John M ac k , for a special scolding .Rather than embracing h is fellow researchers, he has

Those who do no t mee t h ispersonal standard s of research, or who d on't agree wi thh is inte rpre tat ion of the facts , are i n c om p e t e n t N ewA ge Positives w ho "band together into almost cultl ikegroups."In Jacobs' view, these researchers have turnedUFO research into a religion and hav e seriously strayedfrom accepted scient if ic s tandards . T he result , in hisview, is that they have w rongly reached th e conclusionthat alien abd uctions are not so bad, and , in some cases,tha t they can even be pos i t ive . He , on the o ther hand ,due to his "correct" methodology , knows th e real truth-tha t a l i en hybr i ds are secretly plott ing to take over th eearth, and , due to their superior intellect , usurp con trolfrom the i r h um an counterpar ts .For Jacobs, th e abduct ion mystery h as beensolved, and the solut ion is qui t e nega t i ve . (H e refrainsfrom calling himself and his approved researchers "TheNegatives," however .) "In my most recent research,"he s tates , "I have uncovered in form at ion that al lowsUFO researchers to solve the UFO mystery-at leastth e quest ions that wi l l have th e greates t impact uponus." (p.20) Jacobs has ser ious ly de luded himself inthinking that he has solved th e al ien abduct ion mys-tery. It is a delus ion that resul ts from h is over ly nar-row perspective, and from the i l lusion that he has ac-cess to, and is account ing for , all the data. Jacobs is a"scienti f ic m aterialist" wh o is trying to solve a mys-tery emanat ing from th e future w ith sc ience from th epast . He seems to have made no effort to grasp theconcepts of quantum phys i c s and its imp l i ca t i ons forthe non-local nature of consciousness.

    Other phenomenaHe cannot accept that there are out-of -bodyexperiences, past life memories , or other paranormalphenom ena th at have ye t to be explained or accountedfo r by m ains t ream researchers. T hese th ings are s im-ply "New Age" foolishness that do not merit serioust hought . Yet it is interest ing t ha t he accepts as a mat te rof fact tha t aliens com mu nicate telepathically, that theyexerci se psychic powers , that they walk throu gh wal ls ,a n d t h a t t h e y s o m e t i m e s r e n d e r t h e m s e l v e s

(I find ithard to under s tand how one can accept the first , butnot the second.) Clearly, the UFO mystery is based onscience tha t is hundreds or thousands or even m illionsof years ahead of ours .

    Some breakthroughsTrue, we are beginning to get an idea, throughbreakthroughs in quantum physics, genetics, an d othersciences, as to how so me of the amazing "miracles"that aliens perform might be done. But the evidencecoming from abduction research should teach us thatthere is much more to learn, and that what we cal l"modern science," based on "scientific methodology,"is sorely inadequate for penetrat ing even th e outerfringes of this mystery.What has happened to Jacobs is that he hasgone as far as is possible with the "Model T" scienceto which he is l imited. Without engaging in strenuousconsciousness raising exercises , he will go no further.In m y book, T h e G o d Hypothesis, I argue for the needfo r a m uch broader approach to UFO research, onethat includes th e acknowledgement that this is an an-cient p henomenon which very likely w as involved inh u m a n evolution f rom the very beginning.What Jacobs sees as an alien inv asion may,from another level , be seen merely as evolution inprogress .

    an d connected to the Earth, then so be it . It will be ourfailure to nurture our planet that caused our own down-fall. But is that so different from what happened toNeander thal m an and Cro Magnon man?Missing l inks

    Scientists cannot account for how Homo S api-ens evolved and yet coexisted with other human "pro-totypes" at the same t ime. What i f we hum ans are theresult of the last great jump in evolution created bythese beings? What i f , due to genetic intervention bysuperior beings, w e hum ans took over th e Ear th fromthose w ith lesser m ental powers? Is this acceptable,while th e current situation is not?If this is in fact the case, then maybe "alien" (aparticularly pejorative term ) is inadequate to describethese beings. Maybe they are gods or angels or some-thing of the so rt. If we rule this out, w e eliminate av-enues of research that could yield rich insights , not onlyinto w ho they are, but also into w ho we are. This is nota r idiculous conclusion, but one based on hard scien-tific evidence.No intermediate species have ever been dis-covered to fully account for the theory of evolution,and even the discoverer of D N A , Dr. Francis Crick,

    believes that DN A w as broug ht here by extraterrestr i-als millions of years ago. (See his book, Life Itself,Simon an d Schuster , 1981.) A ny effort to resolve th eUFO mystery which does not explore the origins ofthe human species, doesnot question the current viewsabout the nature of consciousness, does not examinethe religious implications, and wh ich does not attemptto peer into future science through th e lens of quantumphysics is doom ed to failure.But Jacobs never men tions any of this . He hasnever attem pted to broaden his horizons and to reachhigher levels of understanding. Yet, at the same time, Iadmire him. He has performed his role well. His dili-gent research has revealed and verified many of thebas ic elements of the abduction phenom enon. I amwilling to embrace him and give him credit fo r that an dfo r his courage in stepping into this difficult arena inthe first place. W e need him and others like h im .But w h a t w e don't need is this lashing out andn a me call ing directed at those wh o are struggling intheir own way to solve the same baffl ing mystery.Jacobs has fallen prey to the illusion that he, and onlyhe, has the real answers.Standardized procedures?He argues for a standardization of proceduresfo r abduction research. "Without standardized meth-odology,"he states," a hypnotist can use anyinductionor questioning technique-no matter how experimen-tal, untried, or dubious-to explore abduction accounts."(p. 220) T o this, I can only say, "Thank God !" Jacobs

    believes tha t if only al l researchers used th e same ex -act hypnotic induction he uses, and asked the samequestions that he asks, they to o would arrive at thesame conclusions.T o this, I can only say, "No kidding!" The factthat all abduction researchers are not clones of himselfan d regulated by some abduction research regulationauthority is cause of great frustration fo r Jacobs. Thatfact, together w ith his conclusion that the E arth is aboutto be taken over by aliens, has led him into the depthsof a deep depression:"...I have found the abduction phenomenon tobe real, but also...I have become somew hat apocalyp-tic in view of its purpose. I have come to the conclu-sion that hu m an civilization ma y be in for a rapid, an dperhaps disastrous, cha nge, not of our design." (p. 255)He continues his lament: "...the intellectual safety netwith wh ich I operated for so many years is now gone.I am as vulnerable as the abductees themselves....1 havecome to view the alien abduction phenomenon and itspurpose as an asteroid hurtl ing toward Earth-discov-ered too late fo r intervention... .1 find little fuel fo r hopefor the future." (p. 256)Jacob's feelings of fear and futility should be

Researchers, whetherthey like it or not, m ust also act in the best interests ofth e "patient"-the abductee. Hypnosis is not jus t a re-search tool, but also a therapuetic one, and part of therole of the researcher is to help th e abductee overcomehis/her fears. How can Jacobs or other researchers w hoare frightened themselves help others?John Ma ck and man y other reseachers, includ-in g myself , h ave seen f irst han d th e amazing sp i r i tualand m e n t a l g r ow t h t h a t is expe r i enced by t hoseabductees who shed the victim role , put their fearsas ide , and m oved forward. These individ uals w i l l nodoubt lead us all toward a much higher level of under-s tanding than anything we can now imagine .But without the posi t ive support of the thera-pist, man y experiencers w ill continue to dw ell in thedepths of depression. A s objective researchers, w eshould, at the very least, honor (rather than ridicule)those who are able to achieve this remarkable trans-format ion . At the very most, w e should stand as pillarsof strength for those who so desperately seek our help.D r. Jacobs' response to Dr. Lewels:

    I would like to thank D w ight Connelly for af-fording me the opportunity to make a brief reply to Dr.Lewels. I think that it is important for UFO and abduc-tion research to be as scienti f ic and as accurate as pos-sible. Rigor and the systematic investigation of the phe-nomena have allowed UFO researchers to engage inthe process of solving the UFO mystery. UFO research-ers from the 1940's on have at tempted to look w i th ascientifically objective eye at the claims m ade not onlyby charlatans and the deranged, but by sincere wit-nesses as well.Th ese pioneers worked ou t standardized meth -odologies whereby the UFO signal could be separatedfrom th e IFO noise. W e cannot aband on th is scienti f icstance. We must maintain and foster high standardsand continue to work for a solution to the UFO mys-tery through serious, reality-based modes of thought .For some abductees, angelic, demonic, spiri-tual , and New Ag e interpre tat ions of the UFO and ab-duct ion phenomenon are important in that they pro-vide them w i th an emotional f ramework in which theycan unders tand the phenomenon and/or receive solacean d comfort from it . Self-motivated belief structuresthat help abductees cope w ith their situations-and arenot harmful-can sometimes be beneficial , at least inthe short term.However, as explanatory systems for the evi-

    Editor's Note:With a profound interest in abdu ction cases, 1

    have discussed with both Dr. Jacobs and Dr. Lewelstheir part icu lar approaches to abd uction research.Both, in my opinion, are dedicated, s incere individu-als with exceptional abil ity and integrity . Obviouslythey represent opp osing methods, wh ich should be ofinterest and concernas we attempt to u nta ng l e the ab-duction phenomenon. Th e Threat was reviewed lastmonth, and an adequate understanding of Dr. Jacobs'approach can best be found in reading th e entire book,just as Dr. Lewel's ap'proach is best understood byreading his book, The God Hypothesis-anA in ta lk ingwith both men. Althoug h authors automatical ly openthemselves to critiques, I felt tha t Dr. Jacobs shouldbe afforded th e opportunity to respond in the sameissue of the Journal to this added crit ique.dence presented, N ew Age, s p i r i tual , and religious in -terpretations must be treated with utmost caution. InTh e Threat, by cri tically evaluating methodology, I haveat tempted to und ers tand the accounts t ha t some hyp-not i s ts have found and that I , and other more main-stream investigators, have not found. No one's researchis above cr i t ical analys i s - including my ow n. W itho utcrit ical analysis and peer review i t will be extremelydifficult to advance in our knowledge of this subject .T o suggest otherwise is to insure that we w ill be tak ingbackward s teps into confus ion rather than mo ving for-ward toward knowledge and clarity.W e all want the goal of abduction therapy tobe for abductees to lead ha ppier lives . The di f fe renceis that some researchers at t r ib ute w hatever pos i t ivechanges that take place to the aliens ' actions. I havemore faith in people 's innate abili t ies to integrate ab-duction events so that they can lead more fulfilling lives.Th rough therapeut ic he lp , suppor t groups , andtheir ow n se l f -awareness , abductees gain inte l lec tualand e m otiona l control over their l ives and mo ve for-ward wi th a renewed sense of mastery over th e phe-nomenon. For the conscient ious inves tigator, h e lp ingth e abductees achieve this must be accomplished withintegri ty and intellectual honesty.I hope that Dr. Lewels wi l l eventually under-s tand the importance of und er taking a sc ient i f ic andobjective study of not only the abdu ction evidence, butof the method s wh ereby that evidence i s obtained. Weow e this to the UFO research community and we es -pecially ow e this to the abductees who rely on us tof ind th e t ruth about wh at has been happening to t hem.T his i s our respon sib i l i ty , and w e m ust notshrink from it .

    Timothy Good . Alien Base, Earth's Encounters WithExtraterrestrials (Lo nd on: Century, 1998)Reviewed by Warren P. AstonCopyr ight 1998At the outse t I do not hes i t a t e to say tha t , inmy op in ion , Alien Base has j o ined a smal l group o fbooks t ha t wil l come to be regarded as pivota l andclass ic w orks in shap ing our unde rs t and ing of the phe-nom enon of alien contact . I believe i t wil l eventual lybe seen as author i tat ive and subs t an t i a l in its field asGood's Beyond T o p Secret now is .Timothy Good's greatest contr ibut ion in t h i sbook is to force th e reader to face a subs tan t i a l body ofdata that has , in many cases, been rout inely ignoredand r idiculed by m a n y U FO researchers and groups inrecent decades, an d kept from th e publ ic at large. Goodtackles head -on th e disturbing direct ion that mainstreamufology has taken in the past tw o decades by the al-most ins t i tu t ional ized rejection of reports involvingcontac t wi th h um anoid be ings to the poin t w here "al iencontact" in ufo logy and in the publ ic perception equatesonly to an "abduction" by a stereotype "Grey."

    Not the standard scenarioThe cases covered in Alien Base are anythingbut the s tandard abdu ct ion scenar io . Good has amassedufology's largest collection of reports where the wit-ness has encountered, and often interacted with, be-ings of a pparent extraterres trial origin, som etimes liv-in g incognito among us. A handfu l of intriguing casesalso suggest that one or more alien groups have hu-mans l i v ing wi th and work ing wi th them. Many o f thebook's reports are publ i shed here for the f irst t ime ,and the c um u la t i ve we i gh t of the i r evidence is impres-sive. T he auth or does not shy away f rom th e f amous"contactee" cases of the fifties an d sixties, but suc-ceeds in integra ting their stories as part of a larger con-t inuum of alien contact , not apar t from it . In the pro-cess it quick ly becomes c lear that such claims are notas rare as m any people have assumed. Th is i s not tosa y that Good accepts that all the contactee claims aregenuinefar from i t . But he makes a strong case thatperhaps in some instances what began as a genuineencounter w as then perpetuated, for any number ofreasons, by deception and fraud.Case in point , perhaps: George A dam ski . Alien

    Base, to the inevi table di smay of some readers, I'msure, devotes a long section to Ad a msk i ' s story. Muchof thi s m ater ial wi l l be fami l iar to any well-read re -searcher, but some will not be, and is therefore wo rthapproaching with an open mind. The original or earlyaspects of this case are stronger than m any are willingto give it credit for, and whi l e I personal ly remainunconvinced, Good gives some good reasons why thecase should not be rejected out of hand or tossed intoth e "too hard" basket. Not least of these are the appar-ently credible stories of other people w ith impressiveparallels to Ad a msk i ' s claimed experiences.Daniel Fry and Howard Menger are covered,and th e book goes into considerable detai l about th ePaul Villa case, devoting more than half i ts color i l lus-t rat ions to some of his photos, m aking i t clear that hereare cases that still cry out for solid investigation.

    Definitive treatment neededDespite the t ime that has elapsed, defini t ivetreatments of these cases have yet to be wri tten. Al-though not wi thou t it s faul ts and biases , Kal Korf f ' sdevastating expose of the Billy Meier case (Spaceshipso f the Pleiades) is a recent example of w hat an inten-sive investigation can achieve an d what remains to bedone wi th th e classic contactees. Some readers m ayfeel more comfortable with other stories that Goodexamines in detai l , such as the li t t le-known CarrollWatts and B runo G hibaudi cases w i th the i r impress ivephotographic support , or with the fantastic but com-pell ing "Joelle" and Ludwi g Pallmann cases.Alien Base, however , makes a contr ibut ionbeyond the mere compiling of reports . By includingsome of the very early encounters (the 1920 AlbertCoe case is the earliest, w ith a good sam pling of casesfrom the thirt ies and forties, including my ow n researchof the 1940 Wartena case) the book repudiates, forexample, the continuing simplistic attempts by someto di smiss al l genuine UFO s ight ings as man-mademilitary craft.T he careful reader w ill note certain recurringthemes throughout th e encoun ters reported, regardlessof the circumstances, the t ime period, or the w itness.Notably, these include the pervasiveness of the basich u m a n form through out the Cosmos, that earth has al-ways had alien mo nitoring and intervention, that intel-ligent life on earth w as "seeded" from other worlds,that ma n destroyed his civi lization thousan ds of yearsago, and a variety of environmental concerns.

    Many races of visitorsImpl ici t in all this is the unavoidable conclu-sion that earth is being visited by many races, fa r morethan th e conventional half-dozen or dozen races nor-mally allowed for in the ETH. A strong case could bemade for at least a score or more, based just on the
