I've read nearly everything Jung has ever written and his bios. Fascinating person.
I've got "The Red Book" on Kindle but haven't finished it. Recommend it to all Jung fans.
Mack and researchers (Garry Nolan of Stanford Medical most recently) studying the UFO phenomenon from the scientific angle have dismissed the idea that abduction accounts are hallucinations during hypnagogic or hypnopompic dream states, though there is a clear connection between them.
As an aside, after he died, Jung's friends admitted that he was deeply fascinated by the UFO subject but didn't want to publically discuss it because he thought it would detract from his work and legacy. He was probably correct about that.
I read Jung’s UFO book years ago, but don’t recall much about it. I don’t see this as ‘hallucination’ but a different kind of psychological phenomenon, even a function.
But I think we’ve definitely experienced a certain kind of ‘mass hypnosis’ - Roswell is proof of that to me. Happening when it did is probably the reason for the initial ‘Flying Saucer’ story; it was convenient distraction to cover something that was very secret at the time, and Arnold had already created a sensation just a couple of weeks before and which had led to hundreds of similar so-called ‘sightings’ .
It’s possible that the people at the Army Air Force base itself didn’t even know the full extent of Project Mogul at first.
