John Mack & Budd Hopkins: A Dialogue on the Alien Abduction Experience (Expanded Edition) [720p]

Trauma or transformation? Physical or spiritual? Intruders or agents of change? Dr John Mack and Budd Hopkins discuss their common and contrasting views of alien encounters at this 1997 event moderated by Christopher Lydon. This expanded audio edition is more than 50 minutes longer than a previously-released video version. Now included are all of the questions asked by audience members, including questions that may have been deemed too weird to include before but now have some historical value. Recorded March 7, 1997 at John Hancock Hall, Boston MA.
