Press articles about Professor John Mack (about 500 clippings) - alien abductions, Harvard controversy and Ariel school incident

Professor John Mack was one of the best known alien abduction researchers. He was also influential (for better or worse...) for contributing to the increasing references to "consciousness" in UFO research and studies of purported alien abductions.

He was recently the subject of Ralph Blumenthal's interesting book "he Believer: Alien Encounters, Hard Science, and the Passion of John Mack" (2021).

I have now uploaded a set of about 500 press cuttings relating to John Mack to my online archive.

As some of you know, I'm doing some work in relation to the Ariel school UFO incident in Zimbabwe (1994), which was investigated by Professor John Mack and a few others. Unfortunately, there is not much on that particular incident (which I'll post an item about at some other time) in these cuttings. They do, however, give a good insight into how John Mack and alien abduction research were viewed by the different elements of the media at various stages of his work.

These cuttings include considerable coverage of his work on alien abductions and the controversy at Harvard regarding that work.

The clippings are organised into chronological order (and are, of course, searchable).

I'm grateful to the John E Mack Institute in America - including its helpful representative Will Bueche - (and  other archives, including the AFU in Sweden, and various groups/researchers/witnesses) for giving me access to material about John Mack and the Ariel school incident.

Incidentally, the John E Mack Institute has an interesting Youtube channel with various interviews of, and presentations by, John Mack (including in relation to the Ariel school incident, although sadly some of the videos are edited and do not include some of the clips and videos mentioned in the relevant presentations). Some of them are rather rare and include semi-private presentations to select audiences - in addition to TV interviews.
