York newsworld Mackenzie sums up the 36 00:01:57,350 --> 00:01:55,460 book's chilling message this way 37 00:01:59,389 --> 00:01:57,360 extraterrestrial beings have been 38 00:02:01,910 --> 00:01:59,399 picking people up from the earth taking 39 00:02:04,190 --> 00:02:01,920 them into their spacecraft examining 40 00:02:06,410 --> 00:02:04,200 them medically taking samples of their 41

00:02:26,760 conveniently blocked Beyond this 50 00:02:31,369 --> 00:02:29,640 everything is speculation Hopkins is 51 00:02:33,890 --> 00:02:31,379 described as an internationally 52 00:02:36,770 --> 00:02:33,900 acclaimed artist with paintings in many 53 00:02:38,630 --> 00:02:36,780 major U.S museums which was indeed the 54 00:02:40,790 --> 00:02:38,640 case and they are still part of the 55 00:02:43,130 --> 00:02:40,800 collections of museums such as the 56 00:02:45,830 --> 00:02:43,140 Whitney Museum of American Art in New 57 00:02:48,770 --> 00:02:45,840 York City according to

of them involving 37 people according 61 00:03:00,290 --> 00:02:58,140 to MacKenzie out of these the focus in 62 00:03:02,330 --> 00:03:00,300 the book is on seven people who all 63 00:03:05,750 --> 00:03:02,340 recalled their experiences while under 64 00:03:08,270 --> 00:03:05,760 hypnosis in actuality the book looks in 65 00:03:10,610 --> 00:03:08,280 detail at seven accounts told by six 66 00:03:13,430 --> 00:03:10,620 people with one of them referred to as 67 00:03:16,490 --> 00:03:13,440 Virginia Horton describing two incidents 68 00:03:19,190 --> 00:03:16,500 from her childhood one

of both the 86 00:04:07,070 --> 00:04:05,040 reality and The crucial importance of 87 00:04:10,030 --> 00:04:07,080 the UFO Phenomenon with the strong 88 00:04:12,770 --> 00:04:10,040 possibility that
