THE CORONADO ISLAND UFO INCIDENT by Michael J.

This book, featuring the testimony of UFO researcher and abductee Mike Evans and supported by ufologist/author Preston Dennett, is about one such event. It hap- pened on 26 March 1994 on Coronado Island, south of San Diego, California. Mike, his wife Gina and other friends were there for a UFO conference. During the first night at their hotel, he suffered a strange puncture wound in his ear and he also devel- oped flu-like symptoms, as did a friend, Nancy, who was staying in the next room. Several times in the ensuing months, Mike woke up with puncture wounds and bruises on his body, so a year later he sought out Angel, a hypnotherapist whom he knew from his work with the MUFON research group. He suspected he'd been abducted at Coronado, but he needed confirmation—and this came when he was able to recover his frightening memories under hypnosis. Nancy also underwent hypnosis and recalled a similar abduction experience that night on Coronado. Her friend Laurie, who was sharing the room with her, had repressed but conscious memories of Grey ETs abducting Nancy and also heard Mike's screams during the night. Nancy's brother Phil, who was part of the group, also had his Coronado abduction memories recovered under hypnosis. Dennett includes their com- pelling first-person accounts as well. Further hypnotherapy sessions confirmed that all of these multiple witnesses had a his- tory of being abducted by aliens. Curiously, at the time of this multiple abduction, Secret Service agents were swarming around Coronado ahead of an expected visit by the then US President, Bill Clinton, and both Nancy and Laurie felt they were being watched and followed, as if the agents knew what had happened to them. Dr Roger Leir, who has imaged and removed implants from several abductees including Nancy, contributes his medical perspective as well as a gripping foreword about one of Mike's UFO abduction experi- ences while trail-running near his home in the Simi Valley of California.
