The Grey Visitors: How Alien Abduction Became a Modern Myth - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Everyone knows the face. Small body, huge head, vast black eyes. But where did the Grey actually come from - and why did it conquer the world in a single generation?

The Grey Visitors tells the documented history of the century's strangest icon: from H.G. Wells's imagined future humans and the space brothers of the 1950s, through one New Hampshire night drive in 1961, the hypnosis chair that produced the first big-eyed alien, and the 1987 book cover that fixed the face in every mind, to the sleep laboratories and memory experiments of today.

Drawing on government files, newspapers, archival records and peer-reviewed science, Sourav Sarkar separates what witnesses reported from what they came to believe - and shows how an image assembled from fiction, folklore and the memory wars became the face we all see when we close our eyes and imagine an alien.

A careful, fair-minded history for believers, skeptics, and everyone in between.
