Alien Dawn: An Investigation into the Contact Experience Hardcover - 1998

From the publisher

When bestselling writer Colin Wilson met Harvard psychiatrist John Mack at a conference in 1995, he was propelled on a journey of discovery into one of the most daunting mysteries of our time--the UFO phenomenon. Mack told Wilson of his work with people who believed they had been abducted by aliens, and this conversation launched Wilson on a full-scale investigation into everything he could unearth about mysterious and bizarre events related to alien visitations. Groundbreaking and compelling, Alien Dawn describes Wilson's own attempt to make sense of a vast body of documented research involving strange and unexplained phenomena, including poltergeists, lake monsters, ancient folklore, time slips, out-of-body experiences, mystical awareness, and psychic travel to other worlds. He studied the accounts of Uri Geller and Andrija Puharich, who were convinced they had been chosen by aliens to deliver a momentous message to earth. He probed into people's claims that they had experienced contact with beings possessing supernormal powers possibly from other dimensions of space--or even time. The result is a vast, complex jigsaw puzzle of encyclopedic dimensions--the most comprehensive bird's-eye view of the subject ever undertaken, with conclusions sure to startle the reader.
