Summary: Diary of an Abduction
Comment: 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."

Summary: Poor fiction
Comment: All these books on abduction are pulp fiction, masquerading as fact. If aliens did travel all the zillion miles necessary, for the thousands of years necessary, to reach our beloved planet, why would they keep it a secret? Would we, if we travelled to other galaxies? We would land with some fanfare and pazazz, not quietly sneak in and raid odd, disturbed, publicity-seeking Americans. Homer Simpson was abducted by aliens, but then he is only a cartoon!

Summary: I've read better.
Comment: This book was rather disappointing, disjointed and attenuated. While I appreciate the author's use of alleged concrete information, there wasn't enough of it and since it was written in diary form it jumped from topic to topic and there was never any concrete evidence regarding anything. Nothing was proven, no climax ever occurred. It was all mere conjecture. Why she believes she was abducted by aliens just because she had a plethora of dreams about it and few "visions" is beyond me. I always have alien abduction dreams when I'm reading books about them. Surely if you focus your mind on a subject for a long enough time, you are going to have dreams about it. I just kept waiting for something in the book that was going to blow my mind and tell me something concrete. I believe books which examine abductions from a hypnotic standpoint to be a bit more believable anyway. At least you get an entire story of what might have transpired when the abduction occurred whether that's what really happened or not. The best books I have ever read on the alien abduction phenomenon are "Missing Time" and "The Gulf Breeze Sightings". THOSE were books! Whether they were true or not, they were at least entertaining and somewhat mind blowing. I expected this book to follow suit in elaborating upon information we already know or have been told about this phenomenon but it seemed just as arcane, if not more so, than anything else I've ever read or witnessed. All in all, a big disappointment. :(
