Very Informative Book

I found Dr. Smith's book very informative. I especially appreciated her careful attempt to sort through the fact, fiction, and intentional disinformation in the UFO/Abduction field. That is to me one of the most difficult and challenging issues when reading about extraterrestrial visits, abduction phenomena, etc. I also commend her for her willingness to share her own personal experiences while carefully questioning the meaning and validity of them. I believe this shows a high degree of personal integrity. I think this book is a "must read" for anyone with a serious interest in this field.

Diary of an Abduction

Diary of an Abduction is Angela Thompson Smith's fascinating account of her contacts with beings she has named the Visitors. Her first contact came during her teenage years, in the presence of her younger brother. As an adult, she described this event to other researchers and learned that she wasn't alone in her experience. The standard practice for abduction experiences includes thorough medical examinations followed by hypnosis. Conventional theory holds that abducted persons are "caused to suffer from an amnesia that hides their experiences from themselves and others." Hypnosis is necessary to uncover these hidden memories. Smith chose to not undergo hypnosis. She decided to search within for the hidden memories. She instructed her subconscious mind to reveal any abduction information to her in the form of dreams, with the intent of documenting the information. Concurrent with this, she networked with others and conducted extensive research into the phenomenon of alien contact, applying her training as a respected scientist. Beginning in 1988, she began recording her dreams and possible interpretation of each, all memories that surfaced, and the results of her investigations. As a result, she says that she's learned "the abduction scenario is real. Nonhuman entities have been interacting with us for thousands of years and they will continue to interact with us." Starting in 1990, she began a two-way interaction with the Visitors and learned that they find humans to be a fascinating species which they enjoy observing. Smith maintains however, that the Visitors have gone beyond observing, into interbreeding with humans. She also comments that the U.S. government regards itself as being at war with aliens, thus all the secrecy surrounding UFO's and abductions. "Offering the immediacy of freshly-lived experience, the precision of scientific reporting, and the high intrigue of top-notch mystery writing, Smith's real-life Diary of an Abduction is a riveting and provocative journey into the sky, into the soul, and beyond."

Author's Review

DIARY OF AN ABDUCTION - Author's Review Angela Thompson Smith Ph.D. It has been estimated that one person in fifty has experienced the anomalous events that are collectively known as alien abduction. The population of the United States stood at 276,219 thousand in 1999 and it has been estimated that approximately 2% of this population have experienced alien abduction. That's an awful lot of people. And that's just the United States. I found that there are very few resources in place for these individuals. Just where do they go for information and support? Certainly not to the media, nor to the government. If all of these individuals were suffering from some new disease, researchers would be clamoring for funding and other resources to study the problem. That was my reason for wanting to write this book. To present my own search for answers, to help others understand their experiences, and to point researchers in directions that might lead to some answers to this compelling topic. Much has been written about alien abduction but this book tells it from an unique perspective. As an experiencer and a research scientist I have been able to look at both sides of the question. As an experiencer I have developed successful methods to uncover information related to my own perceived abductions. As a research psychologist I have began my own investigation of the abduction topic and come up with some surprising answers. When I was writing this book, I sent the manuscript to a friend in Australia. He had planned to read a few chapters before going to sleep. Instead he was up all night and read the whole book. He said that he went and got his gun and put it under his pillow - just in case! Yes, it is a scary book. But it is also a practical book as it presents ways to understand and cope with the phenomenon. Let the understanding begin!
