From the Publisher
What makes this case particularly interesting is that two of the campers Jim and Jack Weiner are identical twins and it was their genetic similarity that apparently was the focus of the UFO aliens' attention.

About the Author
Raymond E. Fowler is one of the most respected senior investigators of the UFO phenomena in the world. His interest in the subject began in the late 1940s when he began collecting and studying everything he could about the subject. He joined the Air Force in 1952, attended a special school for electronic espionage, after which he was assigned to the USAF Security Service under the auspices of the NSA. His involvement there brought him in contact with information that indicated that the military took UFOs very seriously.

He was honorably discharged as an Airman First Class in 1955. In 1960 he became an associate member of the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP). In 1963 he began conducting personal on-site inquiries into local UFO sightings, submitting written reports of my investigations to NICAP and to the USAF on an unsolicited basis. Later, he became an official NICAP investigator and in1964, he became chairman of NICAP.

His report on a classical UFO sighting that took place at Exeter, NH, instigated John G. Fuller's well-known book Incident at Exeter and became a major topic of discussion during the first open congressional hearings on UFOs in 1966. In 1971 he became Massachusetts state director for the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON). While remaining with NICAP as a consultant, he also became a scientific associate/investigator for the Center for UFO Studies, directed by Dr. J. Allen Hynek, who formerly had served the USAF Projects Sign, Grudge, and Blue Book as chief astronomical consultant for about 20 years.

In 1975 MUFON appointed him as National Director of Investigations. In 1975 he published a detailed UFO investigators' field manual, which has since been adopted for use by the Center for UFO Studies and other groups abroad. The manual closely followed many of the investigative procedures recommended by Dr. Hynek.

Fowler has authored a series of extraordinary books on the UFO phenomena, including the books known as the Andreasson series about Betty Andreasson Luca and her vivid encounters with spiritual ETs. A few of his better known books include The Andreasson Affair, The Andreasson Affair Phase Two, The Watchers, The Watchers II, The Andreasson Legacy, UFOs: Interplanetary Visitors, and The Allagash Abductions

Are UFO Abductions Real?
This book is a condensation of a 10-volume 702-page research report the author completed on the abduction of 4 men, a pair of twins and two friends, during a camping trip on the Allagash Waterway of Maine. In his preface, the author invites the reader to consider the evidence presented as a juror would, and to answer for themselves, "Are UFO abductions real?"

The evidence presented, in addition to background material on the four men, is primarily transcripts of hynosis sessions conducted by hypnotherapist, Tony Constantino. These sessions were held approx 12 years after the Allagash trip. Until these sessions, the four believed that they had experienced only a CEI (Close Encounter of the 1st Kind, visual sighting). However, "bleed through" memories and vivid nightmares led one of the participants to seek help.

The book includes illustrations drawn by the participants after hypnosis (all are artists) and an excellent introduction in Chapter 12 to Dr. Thomas E. Bullard's two volume work, UFO Abductions: The Measure of a Mystery. The common elements of the abduction experience are discussed in relation to the Allagash Four.

Although the idea that human beings are involuntarily being used a guinea pigs by some alien race(s) is, at some primal level, terrifying and leads many people to reject the phenomenon without consideration, the evidence presented here may lead the reader to a different conclusion.

A great intoduction to Raymond Fowler
It has been some years since I read this but I count it as one of the best written and researched books in my own extensive personal library. Fowler does not simply ask the reader to believe him;he presents the evidence collected-admitedlly it's anecdotal and hypnotic regression, but there is other corrobarative evidence as well-and asks if a jury could convict someone of a kidnapping on the basis of this evidence. Read the account and see if you don't agree.

They are here again
Usual solid Fowler UFO story. Once again Ray puts in a fully credible tale of alien abduction. How can five people be wrong? - Consistent but independent evidence five times over cannot be questioned. A must for anyone, not just Ufologists.
