Susan BLACKMORE	Abduction by Aliens or Sleep Paralysis? A Roper Poll claimed that nearly four million Americans have had certain "indicator" experience! and therefore had probably been abducted by aliens. But a study of 126 school children and 224 undergraduates shows knowledge of aliens is related more to watching television than to having the relevant experiences.	23-28

Robert E. BARTHOLOMEW	Before Roswell: The Meaning Behind the Crashed-UFO Myth Stories about a crashed saucer in the New Mexico desert are part of a broader myth dating back to at least eighty-five years before Roswell. What makes this myth so appealing	29-30+59
	(Spanish/Catalan translation La Nave de los Locos Año 2 No 07-08 Marzo/2001 Antes de Roswell: El significado subyacente tras el mito de los OVNIs estrellados, pp. 9-11)

Bernard D. GILDENBERG, David E. THOMAS	Case Closed: Reflections on the 1997 Air Force Roswell Report The Air Force "crash dummy" explanation of the Roswell "bodies" was not a desperate attempt to preserve the Roswell coverup, as UFO promoters would have us believe. Rather, clues that anthropomorphic test dummies may have been mistaken for "aliens" came from testimonies of the Roswell "alien body" witnesses themselves. The 1997 Air Force Case Closed report, and new findings presented in this article, provide intriguing new speculations on the origin of various parts of the Roswell legend	31-36

John C. SHERWOOD	Gray Barker: My Friend, the Myth-Maker Gray Barker, who raised the "Men in Black" concept to prominence in UFO lore, didn't mind if the sensational flying-saucer stories he published were made up—as long as they were presented as fact. To him it was all a joke. Here John Sherwood ("Dr. Richard H. Pratt") for the first time confesses his role in Barker's flying-saucer, "Men in Black" myth-making.	37-39

Martha A. CHURCHILL	A Skeptic Living in Roswell Roswell residents generally regard the UFO hoopla as harmless fun and a source of tourist dollars. Local civic leaders ignore the dark side of UFO mania, especially its common roots with sex-abuse hysteria and urban legends such as satanic cults	40-43+60

August Jr. PIPER	Multiple Personality Disorder: Witchcraft Survives in the Twentieth Century Since 1980, some psychotherapists have claimed that thousands of Americans are afflicted with multiple personality disorder. Believing such claims requires ignoring their many serious deficiencies	44-50

Eric WOJCIECHOWSKI	UFOs: Why Humanoid Aliens? Why So Varied? UFOlogy is replete with varying descriptions of UFOs and their occupants—so much so that concluding an alien intelligence is piloting them goes against the more logical and reasonable conclusion that the only intelligence behind the phenomenon is the human brain itself	38-40

David ZEIGLER	Those Supposed Aliens Might Be Worms Many believe life on alien planets would likely include intelligent humanoids, and much of science fiction uses this idea. Based on what we know of evolution on Earth, there is really no basis for this belief; however, one supportable prediction for alien lifeform would be worms	41-44
