Philip Klass agrees that alleged abductees are victims -- but not
of aliens. They have been deceived, instead, by abduction
researchers, who in the process of promoting themselves are
determined to see alien intrusions regardless of the facts.
Due to popular books, movies and TV shows on the subject,
thousand have been "implanted" with the idea that aliens are
messing with them, and this breeds unnecessary fear and neurosis.
This book is mostly a response to Whitley Strieber's Commmunion
and Budd Hopkins' Missing Time and Intruders.
Those who know
Klass and his work won't find any surprises here. This book is
written by the Klass-o-Matic skeptic machine, picking apart the
printed claims of Streiber and Hopkins.
If you are seriously interested in abductions, then you probably
ought to read it. However, if you are only casually interested and
already recognize the possibility of human self-deception, then
the book probably isn't worth the price, since you know what
Klass is going to say before he says it.
