From hidden experience: 'researchers who claim the direct contact experience'

Mike Clelland has an interesting post on UFO researchers who've had their own UFO contact experiences:hidden experience: researchers who claim the direct contact experience

I've started a list of UFO abduction researchers who also claim life events that can be called contact experiences. Not just seeing a funny light in the sky, I'm talkin' alien abduction! These are sorted in no particular order and suspect there are many more beyond the 18 listed below. Some of these folks are controversial and I’m not trying to support the veracity of their claims. I am just trying to look at the overall pattern.
