The Boston Globe reports that the Harvard Medical School is investigating a tenured psychiatry professor, Dr. John Mack. He has written a book, Abduction, in which he argues that occasionally earthlings really are abducted by space aliens, his psychiatric tests often being unable to prove otherwise.

[Ed.: Two years later, Simon & Schuster announced its plans to publish The Threat: The Secret Alien Agenda, by Temple University history professor David Jacobs. The book, based on testimony gleaned from hypnosis, alleges aliens' secret and widespread practice of stealing men's sperm and impregnating women in order to create a new hybrid species. Professor Jacobs reportedly disdains the scholarly quality of Dr. Mack's earlier effort.]
