Close Encounters: Volume One: The Abduction cases of Betty & Barney Hill, Travis Walton, and Antonio Villas-Boas

by Duncan Murphy

If you’ve ever wondered about the possibility of there being life somewhere out there among the stars, then you’ve probably also pondered the possibility of that life making contact with humanity here on Earth. But how would intelligent extra-terrestrial beings make contact with humanity? Would they send radio signals into space from their distant worlds for our most powerful satellite dish receivers to detect? Would they land a spaceship in the middle of one of Earths biggest cities and then ask to be taken to our world leaders? Or would they be more cautious and choose to study us as a species before deciding whether or not to make themselves known to us? Perhaps the latter of these scenarios is true, perhaps aliens have indeed been observing and studying us for many years in secret. It may explain the many thousands of UFO sightings that are reported each year worldwide. But while UFO sightings are one thing, it may also explain the many purported cases of actual alien abduction that are being reported throughout the world as well. This book explores three famous cases of alien abduction, these cases include: • The Betty & Barney Hill abduction, which in 1961 was the first widely published account of alien abduction in the United States of America. • The Travis Walton abduction and his five-day missing person’s case in 1975. • The Antonio Villas-Boas abduction, a bizarre case that occurred in Brazil in 1957 and featured a farmer’s strange sexual encounter with an otherworldly being. As well as providing a detailed exploration into the events of these three famous abduction cases, this book also delves into the most common reactions and analysis of these cases from both believers and skeptics alike. It doesn’t matter whether you are a believer, a skeptic, or simply uncertain. The concept of alien abduction is just simply fascinating, and Volume One of Close Encounters by Duncan Murphy takes readers on an informative journey into this fascinating topic.

I read this stuff like sci-fi and out of curiosity for the paranomal/supernatural, etc. This was short. Very short. But good for someone that's getting introduced to the big UFO stories aside from the more famous ones like Roswell and the like.

Fun read but was too short. I enjoy reading about these kind of stories but have read articles about these abductees that were longer and more in-depth than this book. Good for an intro to this subject or a quick read for someone in a rush.

Close Encounters

Not to bad of a book, could have used
Cmarshall61@hotmail.com more in depth descriptions of the individuals and what during the objections. But, I recommend this for the ufobologist.

Interesting read

I've heard of the Hills case and Travis Walton case but I had never heard of Antonio Villas Boa before. I was hoping to read more info than what I've seen on tv about the Hills and Walton but it was already info I knew. Still an interesting read.

Very short, almost just a magazine article. Nothing new.
