To the editor:

        I have just read Geoff Olson's "The Eyes Have It" in the
November/December 1994 issue of IUR, and I wish to correct a
misconception. Olson has no way of knowing the circumstances, for I
doubt that most people in the UFO field are aware of some of the basic
facts.
        Barney and I had 26 appointments with Dr. Benjamin Simon. Each
hour was spent with about 45 minutes of deep hypnosis. We spent hours
and hours reliving every detail of our experience.
        In _The Interrupted Journey_ (1966) John G. Fuller tells only
the basic outline of our story. In Barney's first hypnotic session he
talks about the eyes which have no body, and he knows it must be a
wildcat up a tree. Then he laughs and decides it is the Cheshire cat
(as in Alice in Wonderland), so he has no need to be afraid.
        So what did I see? First, a group of men. Then one steps
forward ahead of the others, and he is holding some kind of object:
two glowing orbs with a small space between them. He points this
object at the car and moves it slightly back and forth, and the car
motor dies. Actually, they stalled out the motor by some kind of
equipment. The motor did not stall by itself.
        After our sessions in Dr. Simon' s office, we had other
sessions at his home. Dr. Hynek, John Fuller, Barney, and I were
together at one of these. Dr. Simon put us in hypnosis and back on the
craft so that Dr. Hynek could question us; we did not tell our
experiences, we relived them. Barney demonstrated how they got him. He
opened the car door and began to run. Suddenly both his legs were
pulled from under him - both legs together at the same time - probably
physically impossible to do on his own. They went up into the air, and
he hit the floor so hard that the house shook. Just another minor
detail, but I thought you might be interested, since Dr. Hynek
witnessed this.
        At the moment I am busy writing my experiences of the past 20
years of working with those who thought they might have been abducted,
when they had not been - pinpointing the sources of their beliefs. I
am also developing the criteria for real abductions.
