Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
The tension of Diary of an Abduction builds like a well-crafted suspense thriller. In the opening entries, which begin in September of 1986 and continue for 13 years, we meet author and scientist Angela Thompson Smith (Remote Perceptions), who learns of a phenomenon called alien abduction, which touches upon her professional fields of neuropsychology and the cognitive sciences. Even though the possibility of alien abductions was "beyond comprehension," the author was hooked--and thus began an exploration into the underworld of UFO conferences, abduction clubs, forced impregnation, and reports of alien babies. Ultimately, she comes to the realization that she is, in fact, living a double life that involves unexplained lapses in time, mysterious markings (circular bruises, single-spot scabs) that appear on her body upon waking, and vivid, recurring dreams of abductions. Memories begin to flood her mind, as Smith realizes her abductions began in childhood and are still happening.

When Smith recounts the details of her dreams/abductions, she has an Agent Scully straightforwardness, even as she writes about having a device like a telephone jack (but smaller) implanted in her ear canal, or trying to help a seemingly human baby who is being improperly cared for by bungling aliens. Like any dream memory, the images are fleeting and disjointed. She'll remember the clear plastic seat that holds the baby, but she'll have no sense of the broader setting--her bedroom? A spaceship? A laboratory? What gives this diary authority is the ongoing investigative work of Smith as she researches information from numerous sources, including government officials (expect a fascinating UFO story about a former president), scientific journals, and abduction investigators. Read it like an X-File or read it like a scientific report. Either way, you won't be disappointed. --Tara West

Book Description
Angela Thompson Smith first began studying UFOs and alien abducion reports of a scientist's unquenchable curiosity, the desire to fill a void of knowledge. Then something "clicked," and gradually memories from what seemed like a parallel life came sliding back into focus: unexplained events...strange anomalies...recurring dreams marked by waking evidence of physical exploitation. Smith's 13-year, day-by-day journal takes us on a fascinating journey between irreconcilable personal experience - as daily life mixes with remembered strangeness - and the larger landscape of alien abduction.

- A scientist strives to place otherworldly experiences within an established framework in a fascinating account that reads like the secret diary of "X-Files'" Dana Scully

- Contains graphic descriptions of abduction experiences, including the aliens, human supporters, and mysterious medical and technical equipment involved

- Traces physical evidence left behind from abduction events to government research and development contractors

- Raises important questions about time, memory, the significance of dreams, and more
