Thank you for wanting to read my book. I would be interested in your reactions to it. In fact, I am interested in the reactions of anyone who might have read it. So far I have only had one print review, so I am still somewhat in the dark about what people think about it. I have had some very gratifying feedback from UFO researchers and I am hoping that others might find the book useful.

It appears to me that your book will go a *long* way toward establishing *real* credibility for abduction investigation and research, rather than simply credibility among ufologists. jbh -- John Hicks - via ParaNet node 1:104/422 UUCP: !scicom!paranet!User_Name INTERNET: John.Hicks@f29.n363.z1.FIDONET.ORG -------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Bill.Skiles@f29.n363.z1.FIDONET.ORG (Bill Skiles) Subject: Re: Personal Experience Date: 8 Mar 92 21:52:00 GMT Dear Linda, I'm kinda testing the waters right now, and trying to sort through some things. I don't really want to Post my address yet, as I might open myself up to all sorts of stuff. I am usually slow to trust and this is definitley an area that could leave me wide open. Please, give me some time or if you can recieve E-mail in the states, I will send my address to you, but, exactly what is it you want to send? No offense.

It would seem that if the abduction phenomenon is indeed a physical event, the appearance of the alien(s) in our environment should be detectable through the use of ultra-sonic or infra-red motion sensing devices. My question is, has any attempt been made to set up a "perimeter defense" utilizing this technology, around an individual who claims to suffer from frequent abduction episodes? I also have a second unrelated question. I have been corresponding with an abductee in Texas, whom I belive to be quite straightforward, that is suffering from a most unusual post- abduction effect. She literally "freaks out", as she puts it, when she looks at any _hexagonal_ floor tile pattern. She is convinced that this is somehow related to her experiences. Have you observed any similar reactions to hexagonal tile patterns in your subjects?

You said the subject would be on the far out side of normal abduction acounts, It really makes you think. I personnally don't want to "Look Up" anymore. I strongly urge everyone of us to read this book and keep a copy in our library for reference. Is chapter 5 some of the information held back by other researchers of the abduction experiences?

Now comes the wait. I'm sure your book will arrive just as my new graduate class convenes March 31. I look forward to the response of others regarding your book as well.

Yes, I do receive E-mail, and you can check the tagline at the bottom of this message for the code. I just wanted to send you an account of a strange sighting I had in March '88. I felt mildly paralyzed by the light, my husband wasn't moving either, and it seemed to get late really fast. My husband poo-poos this entire topic; it's not in his power to be open-minded about this topic.

Kudos! on a well done literary work. I am preparing a review of it, and I thought that I would make some preliminary comments here. I yet have to go back over my notes to firm up my observations, so this is very general. First, I was not impressed with John Mack's forward in your book. I felt it was totally inappropriate and too philosophical for a psychiatric doctor, especially when your writing seems to contradict his final paragraphs about the "Western" world being too pre-occupied with scientific matters. His idea is to persuade the reader that we should be looking more at the "Eastern" way, or the more mystical, to find the answers to this phenomena. You have done well in conveying the seriousness that this aspect of the phenomenon represents. No doubt, abductions represent a serious trauma to the victims, which you have aptly labeled them, and you make a case for the continued serious research and scientific involvement that this so badly deserves. I was especially impressed with your matrix and the way that you carried the reader through the various levels of the experience. I highly recommend this book be read by all. Again, congratulations on a fine piece of work.
