You don't have to believe the contactee claims to appreciate them as individuals putting forward their unique vision of reality.<br />Under the influence of Hopkins and Jacobs, contact reports conformed rigidly to a template, because the investigators thought repetition of details would mean corroboration, and make abductions seem more scientifically valid. But under those fellows, the investigator reigned supremere and the individual witness was lost, ground up like so much hamburger. To me, that is the antithesis to the spirit of ufology.<br /><br />I'd like to see Anomalist or New Page have an affordable reprint series of interesting contactees whose books have long fallen out of print.<br />Terry the Censorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13361088223337740598noreply@blogger.com
