The Bestselling author probes reports of alien visitations and other strange phenomena. When bestselling writer Colin Wilson met Harvard psychiatrist John Mack at a conference in 1995, he was propelled on a journey of discovery into one of the most daunting mysteries of our time--the UFO phenomenon. Mack told Wilson of his work with people who believed they had been abducted by "aliens," and this conversation launched Wilson on a full-scale investigation into everything he could unearth about mysterious and bizarre events related to "alien" visitations. Groundbreaking and compelling, Alien Dawn describes Wilson's own attempt to make sense of a vast body of documented research involving strange and unexplained phenomena, including poltergeists, lake monsters, ancient folklore, time slips, out-of-body experiences, mystical awareness, and psychic travel to other worlds.
