Abduction Phenomenon

This theme was taken to a controversial extreme in the early 1990s when Mack commenced his decade-plus study of 200 men and women who reported recurrent alien encounter experiences. Such encounters had been reported since at least the 1950's (the account of Antonio Villas Boas), and had seen some limited attention from academic figures (Dr. R. Leo Sprinkle perhaps being the earliest, in the 1960s). Mack, however, remains probably the most esteemed academic to have studied the subject. Mack initially suspected that such persons were suffering from mental illness, but when no obvious pathologies were present i ...

In describing ET Souls, I often use the terms "Walk-ins" and "Wanderers" (this second group is also called "Star People," "Star Born," or "Star Children"). Although their higher-dimensional origins and life-purpose is often the same, what distinguishes them is how they took birth in human form.

In Ufology, a close encounter is an event where a person observes evidence of visitation by extraterrestrial intelligence to Earth, or witnesses an unidentified flying object. This system was developed by J. Allen Hynek, and was first suggested in his 1972 book The UFO Experience: A Scientific Study. Sightings more than 500 feet from the witness are classified as "Daylight Discs", "Nocturnal Lights" or "Radar/Visual Reports". Sightings within about 500 feet are subclassified as various Close Encounters: ...

Greys - Descriptions. Greys are generally depicted as short, (around 3.5 feet tall) slender humanoids with hairless grey skin (hence the name) and large heads with enormous black almond-shaped eyes and small (often lipless) mouths.

However, Close Encounters of the Third Kind was not the first appearance of Greys. "Bug-eyed" humanoid creatures, often with large heads and slender bodies, were common as science fiction villains well before Close Encounters. See, for ex ...

The Hill Abduction incident also involved creatures vaguely similar to Greys, and probably represents the prototypical story of alleged human encounters with these beings. Harvard Medical School professor Dr. John Edward Mack claims that many of his clients have had encounters with the greys. His books Abduction and Passport to the Cosmos describe his patients' spiritual transformations and awakening o ...

Mack received his medical degree from the Harvard Medical School (Cum Laude, 1955) after undergraduate study at Oberlin (Phi Beta Kappa, 1951). He was a graduate of the Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute and was Board certified in child and adult psychoanalysis. The dominant theme of his life's work has been the exploration of how one's perceptions of the world affect one's relationships.
