#1. John Mack Pultizer Winner Dies

John Mack Pultizer Winner Dies 

Cambridge, MA, Sep. 29 (UPI) -- John E. Mack, who won a Pulitzer 
Prize for his study of T.E. Lawrence and who researched people 
reporting encounters with extraterrestrials, has died at age 74. 

Mack was a Harvard Medical School professor and the John E. Mack 
Institute in Cambridge, Mass., released news of his death. Mack was 
crossing a street in London Monday when he was hit by a car driven 
by a drunken driver, the institute said in a release. London 
authorities said Mack was dead at the scene. 

Mack was in London for a conference on T.E. Lawrence -- "Lawrence of 
Arabia." Mack's "A Prince of Our Disorder: The Life of T.E. 
Lawrence" won the Pulitzer Prize for biography in 1977. 

He also interviewed some 200 individuals who said they had had 
encounters with alien beings. Mack reportedly believed such 
encounters were real, although perhaps more spiritual than physical, 
information on the institute Web site stated. That work was berated 
by other academics, but Mack held that the spiritual or 
transformational aspects of those alleged encounters gave important 
psychoanalytic insights.

#3. Interview with John Mack 

Interview with John Mack Psychiatrist, Harvard University 

NOVA: Let's talk about your own personal evolution from perhaps 
skepticism to belief ... 

MACK: When I first encountered this phenomenon, or particularly even 
before I had actually seen the people themselves, I had very little 
place in my mind to take this seriously. I, like most of us, were 
raised to believe that if we were going to discover other 
intelligence, we'd do it through radio waves or through signals or 
something of that kind. ...

#6. Police And Locals Chase After 'Strange Creature' 

Argentina: Police And Locals Chase After "Strange Creature" 

They have not been able to deterimne if it is a man or an animal. 
The fact is that it prowls around houses, has killed several hens 
and left enigmatic traces... 

Police and locals sought a strange creature at Colonia Elía in the 
eastern reaches of this territory in the province of Entre Ríos. 

The police action came about when a neighbor reported that a person 
or large animal caused considerable damage in a henhouse behind his 
home, where it killed several hens. A footprint, hair and other 
traces were found at the site, which would give the claim 
credibility.

#9. The lost continent of Atlantis to be found in near future 

Results of a previous research conducted in the area not far from 
Cyprus were classified as secret immediately 

Several large international expeditions set off for different parts 
of the world last year to find vestiges of legendary Atlantis, which 
is still considered the exciting mysteries in the history of human 
civilization. According to the legend, the continent was flooded ten 
thousand years before Christ. Scientists still find ancient maps 
showing now-defunct islands and continents. British researcher Colin 
Wilson believes that the mystery of the lost continent will be 
unveiled very soon. The scientist decided to take part in the epoch-
making event and joined another expedition devoted to Atlantis. 
Colin Wilson was inspired with recent explorations of mysterious and 
fathomless depth of the Mediterranean Sea - the cradle of the 
European civilization.

#10. Who are the UFO Abductees and Ritual Abuse Survivors? (by 
Christopher D. Bader) 

In the 1980s two different groups emerged that exhibited a 
strikingly similar combination of the quasi-religious and 
psychotherapeutic UFO abductees and ritual abuse survivors. Both 
movements focused upon healing members from victimization they 
experienced at the hands of beings of often supernatural power.
