Kevin McClure published his skeptical "Abduction Watch" newsletter ("AW") in the UK in the 1990s and early 2000s. His aim was "to present facts and current research about regression, and its problems and failures" and "about the linked issue of the damage done to vulnerable clients by untrained, unprofessional therapists, and people dominated and guided by their beliefs and convictions".
“Abduction Watch” included rather cutting comments about many of the “abductionists” and their work (including many leading personalities in alien abduction research and also work on alien implants etc). Kevin McClure also debunked many Nazi saucer myths and various other aspects of what he referred to as “the madness of ufology”.
Kevin McClure did, however, have kind words for some others within ufology. He comments on “some of the best minds, and clearest thinkers in our field” (listing Andy Roberts, Jenny Randles and Gloria Dixon) and referred to David Clarke as “a particularly good researcher”.
Kevin has been absent from the UFO scene for many years and, despite attempting to reach Kevin several times in the last decade, I have not found anyone still in contact with him. However, Kevin had given John Rimmer of Magonia permission to put his material online and John has kindly said he has no objection to my putting Kevin's material in the AFU's archive.
Scans of issues 1 to 24 (with the sole exception of Issue 23) have been done by the AFU today. I hope that someone is able to provide that missing issue (and confirm if there were any issues after Issue 23).
