Secret Life: Firsthand, Documented Accounts of Ufo Abductions by David M. Jacobs (PDF)

Description

In Secret Life, Professor David M. Jacobs of Temple University takes us into the private world of those abducted by aliens, letting them describe in their own words what it is like to be abducted.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐David was also careful when hypnotizing his victims, and didn’t have much positive to say about John Mack. I think he was right. Under hypnosis, people can be lead into fantasy land. Jacobs avoids this carefully, but the results are still fascinating. It’s not that every story is the same, but all the stories have enough similarities that it’s clear the abduction phenomenon is real. Meanwhile, the aliens doing the abductions are just plain baffling. WHAT ARE THEY DOING? WHY ARE THEY DOING IT? WHO BENEFITS? WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? Answering these questions is crucial. Good science often raises just as many questions as it answers. Answer 1: Telepathy is real. Answer 2: The reptilian-gray alliance really is interested in your genitalia. The plural of anecdote is data. This is good data and it’s hard to put down.

⭐One of the best books Ive ever read on the abduction study with clear defined investigative understanding with studys of more than 300 people. regressed hypnosis technique learned from and working with Bud Hopkins who was renown in the scope of these studys. While most of the abductees come from all walks of life there story is the same of a terrifying ordeal where they are taken, from various locations, take into a craft and given exams, sperm taken from men, women having eggs removed from there bodys and sometimes implanted with a foreign body to be taken later for there own incubation process. This is a scary one with much detail remembered by abductees that have been take many times.The Aliens have a plan and its for there own agenda.

⭐This is a subject which has been loosely covered on television and certain movies. I always figured out that the truth was not represented correctly. After reading Dr. Jacobs’ book, I realize I was correct in my evaluations.This book was a complete compilation of research, history, and possible future (as shown to the actual abductees involved.) We were allowed a glimpse into the motivations of our government, and scientists during their infancy as researchers and self-believed safe keepers of the citizens.We have grown as to openness of this touchy subject and after reading this book, I feel I could be more compassionate and understanding if I was to meet someone who had a harrowing tale to tell.This is an important addition to persons interested in the UFO and Abduction phenomena.

⭐Lots of information and research. By chance, I had this in paperback and kindle, and what a good thing that was –the kindle version is missing entire paragraphs in several parts, missing sentences, cut off sentences, etc. DO NOT BUY THE KINDLE VERSION, you will get only fragments of the actual book.

⭐Even though I am a scientific minded person who always looks to the proven validity of using the “scientific method” I admit to also being fascinated with the UFO abduction reports. This 336 page paperback (Secret Life: First hand documented accounts of UFO abductions by David Jacobs, Ph.D.) provides an interesting account of sixty individuals who all claim to have been abducted by creatures from outer space. This book also has more than 300 independently corroborated accounts.This easy to read volume is organized into four parts. Part one gives a background on the beginning of the author’s research into the UFO abduction phenomena. The second part, which is the longest, covers the abduction experience. Topics in this section go into detail on the interviews with those people who claim to have been abducted sometime in their lives. This part also explores the various physical probing and other things these aliens did to these people. The third part deals with how those who were abducted live with this secret. The final part searches for meaning in the adduction experiences. There is also an afterword and three appendix sections in this book.Even though I have read numerous books on this topic in the past, I did find many of the stories in this book fascinating. In the past, I took numerous hypnosis courses and even became certified on this topic; nevertheless, I was not convinced then and I am still not convinced that aliens are kidnapping thousands of people and performing experiments on them.If you are interested in this topic this book is for you. I found it to be a good read and much food for thought when it comes to alien abduction stories.Rating: 4 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (The Samurai Soul: An old warrior’s poetic tribute).

⭐Thousands of people (alone and in groups) including military personal, scientists, pilots, police and others have seen things that they insist could not of been man made. They can’t all be wrong, lying or insane. To fill out an official report is a risk, yet they fill out factual reports stating “I saw this, I don’t know what it was, and it did this and this”. They don’t give some new age ‘spiritual’ interpretation of the event. They just report the facts. This is what Jacobs has done. He has written what the abductees said they saw. If there was a conversation between the abductee and the aliens he gives that also. It is a thought provoking book. At the end he discusses the explanations doubters use to try to explain away these accounts and he makes some very good points as to why these explanations are wrong. If you know something is going on and want to learn more- read this book.

⭐Everything I wanted it to be from a very reputable researcher. Fascinating dialogue from abductees under hypnosis. I do not read this before I go to bed as it can be a little frightning in parts.

⭐Dr. David M. Jacobs is probably the best writer about alien abductions there is. Oddly enough this is partially due to the fact that he does believe in a spiritual world. So he can study this subject without the bias of many Christian writers. I happen to be a Christian but I do not explain away anything I cannot understand by calling it spiritual. Another good book by Jacobs is the “Threat.”

⭐Most people who have studied the bizarre and improbable phenomenon of alien abduction say that if you only ever read one book on this subject, then it should be ‘Secret Life.’ Having just read SL for the third time in ten years, I concur.Dr. David Jacobs is a recently-retired (in 2011) Professor of History at Temple University in Philadelphia where he ran courses on 20th century American history. As a tenured academic historian, he’s trained in the gathering and rigorous analysis of data to form cautious but credible hypotheses about historical events. His first book ‘The UFO Controversy in America’ (pub. 1975) was his doctoral thesis slightly extended for mass publication, a classic if conservative examination of the evidence for the reality of UFOs and the official political/military response to the phenomenon in the USA, described by the late Arthur C Clarke as “…one of the few books ever published on the subject which is essential reading”.In ‘Secret Life’ Dr. Jacobs brings his considerable academic and forensic skills as a historian to the alien abduction phenomenon. His conclusions as described here were formed after five years’ continuous investigation and work with about 150 people who had suffered the experience. Most want complete anonymity and are anything but happy about what happened to them. The title precisely sums up in two words what these people have to deal with: a secret life they can’t or have no wish to discuss in public.The resulting book is a meticulously documented, startling and convincing hypothesis about the reality of the alien abduction phenomenon which Dr. Jacobs came to with some reluctance. He describes the reported process of abduction, the idiosyncratic details repeated through many abductee accounts and the impersonal and work-like attitudes of the abductors. One factor new to me when I first read this book was the common intergenerational aspect of the abductions and that the children of abductees are invariably abducted, as are their children and so on. The abductors seem primarily interested in the human muscular-skeleton system, the brain and neurology of abductees, and most of all in harvesting human genetic material for the production of `hybrid’ offspring. They express no interest in human society or cultural, artistic & political life. The program is secretive and global in scale; the technology deployed well in advance of any available to us, but not completely infallible and occasional mistakes are made (like returning people to the outside of locked houses, or wearing their clothes inside out, or in some cases to their automobiles driving on the wrong carriageway against oncoming traffic).This was truly ground-breaking stuff in the early 1990s and remains essential reading to anyone who wants to understand the issue uncontaminated either by woolly-headed new-age fantasies (“they’re here to help us/save the planetary environment/stop war”) or ideologically driven debunkerism (“they can’t get here from there/it’s all sleep paralysis/repressed child abuse” etc). Dr. Jacobs by contrast knows his subject thoroughly and sticks to the facts, however uncomfortable they might be. He began as an out-and-out skeptic – as well he might – and ended reluctantly convinced that Something Really Is Going On.As you might expect from a University Professor of some academic standing, the book is written in a highly literate style with a coherent and logical narrative. It’s a surprisingly easy and engrossing read, due to the straightforward description of the subject by an author who understands what he is talking about and uses plenty of evidence to back it up. The approach is as logical, grounded and cautious as are the conclusions shocking and revolutionary.Dr. Jacobs has frequently invited anyone to please refute his data, as he would prefer the conclusions he has been reluctantly led to, to be proven not true. So far, no-one has.Challenge: read the book with an open mind then try to refute the data. But you’ll need to study the subject matter in depth and do the work for real, as has the author. Armchair cynicism is not going to cut it, and is certainly not going to stop thousands of otherwise normal, highly functional citizens all over the world continuing to report this phenomenon happening to them and being forced to live a ‘secret life’.

⭐I used to think this book was brilliant. The deeper I looked into Jacobs and Hopkins the more I disbelieved them. The question of sexual deviancy of Jacobs and one of his experiencers was also part of my transformation into no longer believing in the ET abduction hypothesis – although I do believe the military do do this. (See William Pawelec’s revealing interview on you-tube).I give two stars because the pseudo non-fiction is well written and quite compelling when you first come across it.

⭐This is the first review i have done in a while….i am going to give this book the full 5 stars…and when you read this one follow it up with is next book The Threat…David Jaoobs is a fine and meticulous writer who resarches his knowledge with out bias and tells it like it is the book covers so many different lives that after reading you can find it impossible to say such things are not happening…The only thing against him is he didnt write more as his works are a valuable contribution to this subject…this is such a multi-faceted phenomenon that is constantly evolving and changing…bravo….

⭐This is an extremely well structured book, the hallmark of an academic such as the author. The reader is given initially the background to the author’s involvement in the subject, then an overview of the UFO phenomenon. Because I was keen to get to the meat of the sandwich I became a little irritated with this preliminary narrative, but this is my fault and not the author’s. It is important to set that the ‘meat’ is set in its proper context. Subsequently the main focus of the book unfolds starting with transportation, how abductees travel from their point of origin, be it their bed or car,etc. to the aliens craft. The jaw dropping episodes are those concerning the examinations, in particular all those concerned with the reproductive physiology of humans and the often forced contact with seemingly hybrid babies and children. At times it is hard to believe what you are reading. But what gives this book the utmost credibility, in addition to its well thought out and logical structure, is the fact that the author has interviewed, under hypnosis, over 60 different individuals with a range of racial backgrounds, income brackets, levels of education, professions and ages and yet essentially the abductees recount the same sequence of events. They illustrate that the abductions follow often set patterns. I challenge anyone to remain cynical after reading this book.I would classify this book as a must read.

⭐This is the first book by an abduction researcher that happens to be a Professor. . It is a good read for those that are interested. Heapproaches the subject methodically and is quite critical of other researchers that use improper investigating techniques. He is verycareful to question his subjects without leading them. Using hypnosis the amount of evidence he began to find astounded him and this bookdetails what he found. Interesting , and followed by further research which is documented in ” The Threat ” and ” Walking Among Us “.
