Pressestimmen
"... Klass does deflate, with very sensible investigative work, the most celebrated abduction cases, such as the Hills and the Travis Walton case, and he applies the same penetrating blade to Budd Hopkins' and Whitley Strieber's work. The criticism of the procedures of hypnotic regression and recovery of forgotten experiences is especially telling ..." - Inner Journeys
Kurzbeschreibung
Some say they have been abducted and subjected to terrifying physical examinations. Others claim that young children have been kidnapped and returned only after the removal of flesh samples. Still others allege that women have been kidnapped and impregnated, the unborn children later removed for a vast cross-breeding experiment. These crimes against humanity are not perpetuated by an international terrorist organisation. The 'abductees' assert that they have been kidnapped by extraterrestrial beings. UFO abduction claims have spawned a veritable cottage industry, providing the fodder for an explosion of magazine articles, television interviews, newspaper features, best-selling books, and movies. Somewhere beyond all the tumult lies the truth. Dedicated to 'those who will needlessly bear mental scars because of the foolish fantasies of a few', "UFO Abductions" lifts the shroud of mystery from the invisible epidemic of UFO abduction claims. Philip J Klass, an internationally recognised sceptical authority on the subject of UFO reports, traces the history of these claims, from the celebrated Betty and Barney Hill case in 1966 to the extraordinary tales which are surfacing today. His response to these claims and the answers he provides are both absorbing and factual - a fascinating glimpse into an American subculture obsessed with visitors from outer space.

Mr. Klass is a popular forerunner of the skeptics in our society regarding the "u.f.o. phenomenon." In this book, he attepts to express his understanding that human percerption is inherently biased and, therefore, cannot be relied upon for accurate data (with respect to the ufo "abductions"). I think that if you are really interested in the validity of abductees, a thorough understanding of sensation and perception psychology is a necessity. Then, you would be better educated to decide whether there is any credibility to these "abductions." Mr. Klass makes interesting points in this book which are worthy of your time; however, dismissing testimony of an alleged abductee because she was not attractive does raise serious doubts as to Mr. Klass' priorities and scientific methods. I say, buy a book on psychology instead.

If you are interested in exploring the truth, you won't find it reading this book! Phil Klass is a government implant whose sole purpose is to debunk any and all facets of UFOLOGY, including The Abduction Phenomenon. Convinced that everything has a "prosaic" explanation, Klass deliberately and dutifly avoids those cases which remain unexplained or for that matter dismiss with any credulity what "alien abduction" may be, if in fact it is not happening. Don't waste your time!

In this book, Philip Klass deals with the phenomenon of "alien abductions"--that is, the by-now widely known instances in which individuals, often with the aid of hypnosis, recall being taken by aliens aboard spacecraft and subjected to biological experiments. Klass deals thoroughly and convincingly with the hypnosis aspect of the phenomenon, and rightly points out that far from being a gateway to "repressed memories," the technique is actually very likely to elicit fabrications, and perhaps even to plant memories of events that never happened. Additional space is given to cases like that of Travis Walton, which Klass maintains was almost certainly a hoax. Some discussion is also made of the possibility that temporal lobe epilepsy may be responsible for the experiences described by some individuals.
Klass' explanations range from the strong to the very weak. His dissection of hypnosis and the likelihood that most abduction "researchers" are in fact guilty of planting false memories (inadvertently, it should be noted) is devastating. When he brings up TLE, however, he's really reaching. Klass was also notable for promoting ball lightning as an explanation for many UFO sightings, and the same conclusion can be drawn here: perhaps a few cases can be explained in this way, but likely not many. More common phenomena, such as sleep paralysis and waking dreams, would seem to be more appropriate for explication.
In any case, this book is typical Klass. It's an entertaining and easy read, with the caveat that Klass' attacks on abduction "researchers" and abductees are occasionally nasty (in the case of one individual, the possibility that she might be of interest to alien researchers is discounted, albeit apparently in jest, simply because she is physically unattractive). His logic goes awry once in a while, but overall it is difficult to come away from a reading of this book and fail to appreciate the level of delusion required to consider oneself an abduction researcher. Klass makes a convincing case that the efforts of Budd Hopkins, Whitley Strieber and others are actually harmful to the individuals they analyze and to the public at large. For anyone interested in alien abductions, this book should be required reading.
