Description: We all have a picture in our heads of what an alien looks like. We envision creatures with long, spindly limbs and enormous glowing eyes emerging from futuristic spaceships. Yet there is no evidence that they exist at all. So how could anyone believe he or she was abducted by aliens? Or want to believe it? In this witty and informative discussion, Susan Clancy, postdoctoral fellow of psychology at Harvard University, shares her research gathered by interviewing and evaluating “abductees,” and her opinion about the overwhelming influence that false memories can have on a person.
