The Believer: Alien Encounters, Hard Science, and the Passion of John Mack

 Ralph Blumenthal

The story of John E. Mack, an esteemed Harvard psychiatrist who risked his eminent career to investigate vivid patient accounts of interactions with alien beings, often aboard spacecraft with an evident reproductive purpose. Mack effectively ruled out mental illness, delusion, fabrication and publicity-seeking as explanations for the stupefying encounters by a broad cross-section of humanity, including young children. His research, documented in private journals and other non-public archives made available by his family, challenged prevailing notions of reality and testifies to a brave scientist's unconventional search for truth.
