Our Review |
Opinion of the webmaster, subject to debate |
A look
into the private world of those who claim to have been
abducted by aliens. Based on interviews with sixty
individuals and more than 300 different accounts, Life
portrays the phenomenon as a more negative experience than some
other books in abduction literature (aliens stealing embryos and the
like). Though Jacobs' methodology may be questionable
to some -- Most of the
testimony is revealed through hypnotic regression. -- it provides the
reader with a good overview of the experiences that abductees
report and offers a somewhat different view of the phenomenon
than that of John Mack and Whitley Strieber.
This isn't the first abduction book we would buy --
Missing Time is a better introduction to the field. --
but if you've read Budd Hopkins' books and want more, this one provides
additional case studies.
-- Glenn Campbell

From the Book Cover
ALIENS FROM OUTER SPACE ARE NOT HERE TO HELP US!
In Secret Life, Professor David M. Jacobs of Temple University
takes us into the private world of those abducted by aliens,
letting them describe in their own words what it is like to be
abducted. Based on interviews with sixty individuals and
more than 300 independently corroborated accounts, Secret
Life presents the most complete and accurate picture of alien
abductions ever compiled.
Dr. Jacobs takes the reader on a minute-by-minute iourney
through a typical abduction experience and describes in
detail the bizarre physical, mental, and reproductive
procedures that abductees claim have been administered by
small alien beings. Jacobs draws from these interviews a
profoundly unsettling reason behind the abductions: aliens are
conducting a complex reproductive experiment involving the
conception, gestation, or incubation of human and alien
hybrid beings.
Secret life is a startling challenge to our notions of reality
and truth--a scientific, soundly researched exploration of
hundreds of encounters with aliens.
DAVID M. JACOBS is an Associate Professor of History at
Temple University and a leading authority on unidentified
flying objects. He is the author of The UFO Controversy in
America.
