Perhaps "scientific" should have been put in quotes!<br /><br />> There are more detailed critiques of...Ronald Siegel’s explanation of an abduction case. I am not competent to comment on the latter.<br /><br />I have pulled out my well-thumbed copy of <i>Fire in the Brain</i> and can attest that Siegel probably got it right. As an expert in hallucination, Dr. Siegel was able to conduct a thorough investigation, which included clinical and lab tests for possible optical, neurological, and blood problems (he had access to UCLA medical facilities). He also drew on a wide knowledge of the neurological literature. Siegel then interviewed the only witness, who was able to confirm his theory. It's somewhat complicated, but involves the subject driving 30 straight hours with his son helping out, being sensitive to light, staring into a sunset, then falling directly to sleep. (The son confirmed the seven hours of missing time were actually seven hours the pair spent sleeping in the car.)<br /><br />Despite this being his first abduction case, Siegel seems to have conducted more scientific work than any other abduction investigator on record.Terry the Censorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07442516952399215568noreply@blogger.com
