Back in 1992 when the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) hosted a con- ference devoted to the study of the mysteri- ous alien abduction phenomenon, there were raised eyebrows amongst the scientific com- munity and raised hopes amongst abductees that finally their claims were being taken seriously. Alien Discussions is the unabridged version of the conference pro- ceedings and is a comprehensive guide to the body of information available on the subject. Well-known researchers who attended the conference include Dr John Mack, Jenny Randles, John Alexander, Budd Hopkins, Dr David Jacobs and Dr Richard Boylan, and their presentations as well as those of many other contributors representing medical, psy- chological, scientific, religious, ufological and abductee perspectives are included in these pages.
