almost lost his job because he interviewed people who'd had these alien abduction experiences and took them seriously and wrote two very important books about it.

So, um, I think the NIDS experience was very valuable in starting off the AAWSAP program.
Robert BigelowGUEST
25:23
I gotta give other people not belonging to NIDS, like Bud Hopkins and John Mack, credit too, because we learned a lot from those guys.

So, um, I just, I, I, I find it strange.

And these experiencers were not prepared for it in their conscious waking world.
Dean AliotoGUEST
16:55
