Secret
Life: Firsthand Accounts of UFO Abductions. New York: Simon & Schuster,
1992. 336pp. ISBN 0-671-74857-2.
The most important book on UFO
abductions so
far. Start here because the presentation
is a just
the facts, ma'am, blow by blow account of what Jacobs believes is
happening. He says essential aspects of all
abductions
are absolutely real in ordinary perceptual and space-time reality. However, there are definite
perceptual and
space-time anomalies too. When people report that they had a
missing
time experience of two hours, Jacobs says they are actually bodily
missing
from planet Earth, or at least human beings cannot find them on Earth!
A warning to extreme skeptics and debunkers: this book may be hazardous
to your mental health!
