Since the late 1970s, there has been an unprecedented focus in the UFO subculture and pop media on the subject of socalled “alien abductions”. A constant stream of books, videos, movies, lectures and the like have served to keep this
subject in the forefront of our awareness. Across America, numerous cities have self-styled “abduction support
groups”, and an increasing number of therapists have begun to counsel and advise alleged victims of alien abductions.
