  • A Rice University team of scientists will analyze 30 years' worth of evidence of alien abduction cases.  Here's what we know:
  • Evidence to be studied by experts:  photos, slides, personal journals, notes and more
  • Important cases:
  1. Betty and Barney Hill case.  Well-publicized New Hampshire couple claimed to have been abducted in 1961 while driving up a mountain. A psychiatrist/hypnotist helped them remember their experiences of walking into a flying alien object and seeing grey skinned aliens.
  2. Two fishermen in Mississippi claimed abduction by aliens while fishing in 1973.  Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker both had strange puncture wounds in their arms from the experience.  Both men passed polygraph tests on the experience.
  3. The case of Travers Walton.  Arizona forestry worker Travis Walton ran toward a light he spotted in the sky and disappeared in front of 6 workers.  He re-emerged 5 days later to recount a story of alien abduction.

  • Upshot:  Over 100 cases of alien abduction will be analyzed by the experts with 30 years' worth of evidence -- seem like case for the redoubtable Sherlock Holmes.
