Based on in-depth interviews with 60 people and more than 300 independently corroborated accounts, this book presents the most complete and accurate portrait of alien abductions ever compiled. Using hypnosis to overcome the amnesia suffered by often severely traumatized subjects, the author recreates the deeply disturbing experiences of abduction, which include physical examination, gynaecological procedures, enforced sexual intercourse and contact with strange hybrid babies. Supremely rational, Professor Jacobs has set a new standard in UFO research which challenges us to consider the-occurrence of alien abductions with the same seriousness and objectivity afforded to other highly significant scientific claims.
