In 1995, Dr. John E. Mack, gave a lecture in Sedona, Arizona,
which my husband Don and I attended. We
had the opportunity to speak briefly with Dr. Mack following his two-hour-plus talk,
and he kindly autographed our hardcover first-edition copy of his Abduction book. Dr. Mack had recently returned from Ruwa,
Zimbabwe with his research associate Dominique Callimanopulos, where in
November 1994, they interviewed a number of children, sixty, who, while on
recess outside their classrooms, had witnessed a landed spacecraft and alien
beings.
Dr. Mack was a leading
authority on extraterrestrial encounter experiences. In 1993 Dr. Mack founded the Program for
Extraordinary Experience Research (PEER), and the research program was funded early
on by philanthropist, Laurance Rockefeller.
The late Mr. Rockefeller, the grandson
of John D. Rockefeller, was responsible for the UFO Disclosure Initiative during the Clinton White House whose
main request was that all UFO information held by the government, including
from the CIA and US Air Force, be declassified and released to the public.
The PEER research foundation
has been replaced by the John E. Mack Institute whose mission is to explore the frontiers
of human experience, to serve the transformation of individual consciousness,
and to further the evolution of the paradigms by which we understand human
identity.
Sadly, Dr. Mack’s credible
and passionate research into the UFO abduction
phenomena and other explorations of human experiences were cut short
when he was hit by a drunk driver while crossing the streets of London in 2004, there to attend
a T. E. Lawrence Society Symposium.
But Dr. Mack’s work is not
over. Filmmaker Randall Nickerson and
team are working on a documentary on the Ruwa school event. The documentary, "Ariel Phenomenon," is awaiting
distribution funding.
This video by Randall Nickerson is fascinating. Two of the children, now adults, answer numerous questions. It is a long video, but worth listening to.
