I'm not sure we can move too far away from the material while we are in this world.
Have never read Mack's stuff, though I've certainly heard of him quite a bit.
I think almost everyone knows someone who claims to have seen a "UFO," but not too many of us know anyone that admits to having been abducted. I surely don't.
Nevertheless, I think that according to Mack and others, there are literally thousands that fall into this category.
As I recall, the Harris poll on the topic seems to reliably indicate a high probability that more than
3 MILLION
Americans (not to mention implications worldwide)
have been abducted.
I don't think there was any distinction attempted between government black ops doing the abuducting under a sham screen hoax of blaming ET's
vs
authentic ET abductions.
That's a whole 'nother kettle of fish/can of worms!
