Alien abductions; SciFi or reality?
A new book by Harvard University psychology researcher Susan Clancy attempts to explain the phenomenon her newly published book titled Abducted: How People Come to Believe They Were Kidnapped by Aliens
. According to the Wired article by Randy Dotinga, she attributes much of the phenomenon to Hallucinations during sleep paralysis.
David Jacobs, a Temple University history professor and author, refutes her evidence with some of his own (some of which is documented in his book titled Ufos and Abductions: Challenging the Borders of Knowledge). "Among other things", says Jacobs the Wired article "the said the book -- which drips with condescension -- ignores the phenomenon of multiple abductions, in which two or more people are kidnapped at once and support each other's stories. He also said it fails to note that abduction researchers have tried their best to find better explanations for the stories."
I for one, believe that the evidence supporting alien visitation is overwhelming and cannot be refuted... I just hope that they, whoever they may be, are not nearly as interested in intrusive anal probes as all the stories make them out to be! ; )
