Years ago, when I first heard about the abduction experiences, I thought they had to be false memories...a cover for childhood sexual molestation or the like.
But the more I studied this stuff, the more I realized that there were common elements in all the accounts...so many in fact that it would be impossible for all these people to describe such similar, horrifying details.
Mack's clinical and meticulously empirical approach to these events pretty much backs up his conclusion that "something very real is going on here" (I paraphrase).
No offense Rooster but how can some be ‘meticulous and empirical at the same time? Seems like a contradiction in terms. The way I see abductions, besides as total hokum, is an attempt at attention seeking by some people with serious mental issues. The whole thing seems like a modern version of the legend of the Incubus and Succubus. I believe that sadly Mack was killed in an auto accident many years ago.
