Close Encounters of the Fourth Kind

Whether you believe it or not, thousands of Americans report being visited and transported into spaceships by little gray men from other worlds. Their eerily similar experiences were the subject of a scientific conference at MIT three years ago and now a new book. In this hour, we'll look at the evidence of alien abductions and ask: if these people aren't being abducted, what IS happening to them?

Guests:
C.D.B. Bryan
Journalist and author of "Close Encounters of the Fourth Kind"
Guilford, CT

David Pritchard
Professor
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Cambridge, MA

John Carpenter
