Dr. John Mack was a respected Harvard psychiatrist and Pulitzer Prize-winning author who became a controversial figure for his work on alien abduction.
In the 1990s, he began to study people who claimed to have been abducted by aliens, whom he called “experiencers.” He treated their stories not as signs of mental illness, but as credible, transformative events.
His research led to his 1994 book, “Abduction,” which brought him both fame and intense scrutiny from his academic peers. Despite an investigation by Harvard, his academic freedom was upheld.
Mack’s legacy is defined by his willingness to explore consciousness and reality beyond the boundaries of traditional science and medicine. He died in 2004.
