This review is from: The Alien Jigsaw (Hardcover)

Kay Wilson is a life-long abductee who for decades has been publicly open about her extensive and mainly consciously-recalled experiences, whilst at the same time being an intensely private person choosing to live a quiet life. She lives with her husband in Oregon, is a State Section Director for MUFON and for decades has worked tirelessly for the welfare of abductees. She has lectured widely on the subject, manages an extensive and informative daily-updated website alienjigsaw.com and has created a support group network focussed on assisting abductees to find competent and understanding mental health professionals with whom they can discuss their traumatic experiences. She is also a vegetarian and persistent campaigner for animal welfare.

`The Alien Jigsaw' published in 1993 is a serious and detailed chronicle of abduction experiences over the author's first 32 years, and also a more general life autobiography. She has good conscious recall (most abductees don't, as the memories are deliberately blocked by the abductors) but had in a few cases assistance to recall through regressive hypnosis from clinical psychologist (the late) Dan Overlade PhD. More than 100 abductions are carefully documented, describing different kinds of entities including some encountered on multiple occasions, details of medical procedures and `child presentations' commonly described by others, the `camouflage techniques' (sometimes referred to as `screen memories') of the abductors and - as also described by the late Dr. Karla Turner and others - what the author believes to be the involvement of some faction or sub-group of the US military in tracking and extracting information from certain abductees: the so-called `Mil-Abs.'

Wilson is an excellent diarist and chronicler, and a good organiser of material. However in her admirable attempt to stick to facts and avoid flights of speculation, TAJ adopts an episodic style and is not always a flowing or easy read. The author generally documents in italics (sometimes over two or three pages) what is remembered of an abduction, then in non-italicised print discusses and analyzes the remembered experience using deductive reasoning, acquired knowledge and long experience of the phenomenon to distil an often quite different sequence of events and meaning from that which, superficially, the mind remembers. This is fairly serious and informed stuff for the reader or investigator with some knowledge and experience of the abduction phenomenon, and probably not for the casual reader unfamiliar with the subject matter. One detail of particular interest is the sudden and frustrating ending of the author's promising musical career which has been documented with a number of other abductees.

The book has a photo section of 59 images, mainly artistic impressions of the entities encountered by the author but with some photos of her scoop-mark and other body scarring so commonly found on serial abductees.

Kay Wilson deserves credit for being such an `open book' about her experiences, from the motive of helping others going through similar traumas to realise they are not alone. She is hardworking and diligent, and a literate writer. The book is well edited with virtually no typos and has appendices consisting of an analysis of the physiological and psychological effects of abductions and a bio of Dr. Dan C. Overlade, PhD, the clinical psychologist with whom the author worked for some years who held multiple professional qualifications including a diploma from the American Board of Clinical Hypnosis. There is a good index.

Wilson, like many other investigators and abductees, is convinced that the alien agenda is principally focussed on a hybrid breeding program and that the ultimate goal is some kind of integration - for what ultimate purpose we can only speculate, but a great deal of evidence is presented in her later books (like `I Forgot What I Wasn't Supposed to Remember') to support this contention.

The author makes available the transcripts of her books (she has written three to date) via her website, so if you just want to read the text you can download it for free. For her it's not about making money, but about disseminating knowledge and education about the phenomenon. However TAJ, especially the hardcover, is a nice book and well worth having in your library if you can find a good copy.
