This special section of UFO Magazine compiles three in-depth articles that tackle the controversial use of hypnotic regression in UFO abduction research. While the technique has been widely used by investigators seeking answers to “missing time” and alleged encounters, these pieces present contrasting views from within the field, examining both the potential value and inherent dangers of the method. The discussion includes perspectives from a well-known abductee and author, one of the field’s most prolific investigators, and a folklorist who brings an academic lens to the issue. Each article contributes to a broader understanding of whether hypnotic regression can truly be trusted to uncover fact — or whether it risks distorting what little is known about these mysterious experiences.
