Abduction: Human Encounters with Aliens
A Pulitzer Prize-winning Harvard psychiatrist presented thirteen detailed case studies of self-described abductees, arguing their experiences — while not necessarily literal spacecraft visitations — pointed to something ontologically real that Western materialism was unequipped to explain. Mack's Harvard affiliation triggered a formal (ultimately unsuccessful) faculty inquiry into his methods.
