I met the man. Talked to him for about 10 minutes. I walked away thinking he was "unwell".
I believe the panel's decision was that, as a tenured professor, he could say anything he wanted. That's not much of an endorsement.

I'm listening to his interview with Art Bell from a couple of years ago now. I greatly appreciate his work with abductees and documenting the phenominon (showing that something more than widespread psychosis is behind it), but I do think that he was drawn in (or perhaps predisposed towards) the semi-Gaia worship and socialism that our "visitors" tend to advocate. His book
Abduction demonstrated the subtlely malevolent nature of whatever is behind the UFO/abduction scenario, though he himself seems blithely unaware of it.
As another poster said, sad.

I agree with you rather strongly on all your points.
Thanks.

You could certainly be right. I never met him.
But I do believe the panel made some comment about him not being off his rocker. I could be mistaken.

Thanks for the ping, Quix.
I've never read his work, but I know he was a big wheel in Abduction research. Another unique brain heads off-planet.

He was the uncle of a close friend growing up. I had many opportunities to talk with him, long before he got into his UFO phase. He was a very kind and gentle man who cared deeply for people who were suffering. When one of my best friends committed suicide at age 19 he flew in and spent a lot of time talking with all of us who were grieving. I believe this was one of the catalysts for his work on teen suicide. I never read his books on UFOs but there was much more to him as a person than these two books.
He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

That's what a lot of folks miss when they start throwing tinfoil on UFO/Abduction researchers - many of them are truly normal people, and indeed usually highly competent in general.
For you and your friends, my condolences.

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.

To: Sam Cree
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!

I'm sorry to hear of Dr. Mack's passing, Quix. He was an interesting man.

The drivers in London will run you down if you're in their way. A big brown UPSish type van almost ran over my husband when we were vacationing in London.

Are they sure he wasn't hit by a small flying UFO?
