About
How could anyone believe he or she was abducted by aliens ... or want to believe it? Clancy argues that abductees are sane and intelligent people who have unwittingly created vivid false memories from a mlange of nightmares, culturally available texts, and a powerful drive for meaning that science is unable to satisfy. This book is not only a subtle exploration of the workings of memory, but a sensitive inquiry into the nature of belief.
