Résumé
Close Encounters of the Fourth Kind: cases in which personal contact between an individual or individuals is initiated by the "occupants" of the spacecraft. Such contact may involve the transportation of the individual from his or her terrestrial surroundings into the spacecraft, where the individual is communicated with and/or subjected to an examination before being returned. One might expect that a "scientific conference" devoted to people who have reported being kidnapped by "little green men" would be dismissed out of hand.
But C. D. B. Bryan, the greatly admired journalist and author of Friendly Fire, did not dismiss it: the conference was to be held at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and would have as its chairmen a Pulitzer Prize-winning Harvard psychiatry professor and a professor of physics from M. I. T. Bryan recreates the conference. He interviews ufology's most prominent psychiatrists, psychologists, hypnotherapists, researchers, physicists, physicians, and folklorists.
He interweaves throughout the testimony of the abductees themselves, who tell us their stories in chilling detail. He presents, in depth, the Close Encounter experiences of two women whose stories he tells on the basis of both their spontaneous recollections of the events and their memories that were retrieved through sessions of hypnosis of which Bryan himself was a witness. Finally, Bryan examines the current theories-psychological, psychiatric, medical, parapsychological-that have been put forward by the unconvinced to explain the abduction phenomenon.
Close Encounters of the Fourth Kind is a detailed, objective exploration-the most concrete to date-of one of the enduring and amazing mysteries of our time. It is a book that will equally fascinate believers and nonbelievers.
