FOWLER’S SECOND BOOK ABOUT BETTY ANDREASSON’S UFO EXPERIENCES
Raymond Eveleth Fowler (born 1933) is an American Ufologist who has worked for MUFON, the Center for UFO Studies, and NICAP.
He wrote in the first chapter of this 1982 book, “On the evening of January 25, 1967, Betty Andreasson was in her kitchen. Her seven children, mother, and father were in the living room. Betty’s husband was in the hospital, recuperating from an automobile accident. At about 6:35 P.M., the house lights suddenly blinked out… Then a pulsating reddish-orange light shined in the kitchen window, Betty calmed the frightened children while her father rushed to look… He saw a group of strange-looking small creatures approaching with a hopping motion. Five small humanoid creatures entered the house, passing right through the wooden door! Betty’s family were immediately placed into suspended animation… The leader … established telepathic communication with Betty… Betty’s initial fright was immediately calmed by an overpowering sense of friendship… Betty was taken outside and brought on board a small craft resting on the side of a hill… Later that night… Betty was returned home by two of her alien captors… she found her family still in a state of suspended animation… Then the beings put the family—still under some type of mind control---to bed, and the aliens left… the aliens had told Betty that certain things had been locked in her mind. She was instructed to forget them and her UFO experience until the appointed time… Betty, a devout Christian, interpreted the creature as religious or angelic in nature…” (Pg. 1-2)
He notes, “Betty married Bob Luca on August 211, 1978. After honeymooning in Florida, they returned to live in a house bought in Connecticut.” (Pg. 3)
Fowler reports a hypnotic session involving Larry Fawcett, then asks, “How can such experiences be explained? I cannot believe either the investigators or the [family] would perpetrate a hoax. Mass suggestion? Maybe. But what was the stimulus that caused everyone to feel the identical pressure on his or her eardrums?... And how about Betty’s visual description of the ephemeral figure? Was this entity real, or some kind of a posthypnotic after image? Did some unknown process the entity employed to make itself appear to Bett cause the side effects upon others in the room? I do not have the answers to these questions. I do know that people like Betty and Bod, and sometimes people in close proximity to them do experience such phenomena.” (Pg. 89)
During a hypnosis session with Fred Max, the transcript recounts: “FRED: They took your eye out? BETTY; Yeah. My right eye… With their fingers, I guess… They took a long, long needle… They put that needed IN MY HEAD through where they took out my eye… FRED: How do you see it? BETTY: I don’t know, but I see it inside… And they’re coming back and they’re putting my eye back in. FRED: Okay. Can you see normally now? BETTY: Yeah.” (Pg. 140-141)
Later, Fowler reports that Betty “Speaks in an apparent unknown language… The phenomenon is similar to the ‘speaking in tongues’ practiced by come denominations of the Christian church.” (Pg. 163)
He recounts skeptical psychoanalyst Ernest Taves’ assessment of Betty’s experience, and observes, "I feel relatively sure that Betty’s experience would receive similar psychological interpretations by other psychoanalysts, and not necessarily those with an anti-UFO bias. As [astronomer Dr. Gerald S.] Hawkins so adeptly pointed out, people tend to ‘bring the discussion quickly around to their particular chosen realm of conjecture.” (Pg. 184)
Fowler explains, “In 1950, I had just become a Christian and was studying the bible seriously for the first time. It did not take much imagination for me to draw some interesting parallels between biblical aerial phenomena and ‘flying disks’… After a stint in the Air Force I earned a degree in biblical studies, and since then I have written several articles and a book [‘The Melchizedek Connection’] that speculate about a connection between UFOs and certain biblical accounts. And I must admit that my interest in ‘The Andreasson Affair’ was heightened by its religious overtones.” (Pg. 193)
He explains, “Why have I not discussed the possibility that Betty and her husband are closet psychotics? Our investigation has evaluated this possibility as highly improbable. In addition to the medical interview Betty was subjected to during the phase one investigation, she was examined again by the same doctor prior to my writing this book. His statement will be found in Appendix D.” (Pg. 201)
He summarizes, “The Andreasson Affair has revolutionized our concepts of close encounters of the third kind It now appears that any CE-III could in reality be just one of a series of CE-IIIs that could date back to the witness’s childhood days. This in turn would mean that alien entities, from the very inception of the modern UFO waves in the 1940s, had already been covertly contacting and studying human beings on a plane of awareness that bypasses our conscious memories. In the light of such CE-IIIs, the oft-asked question ‘Why don’t they contact us?’ becomes purely academic. Contacts continue to be made in a remarkable way that has not disturbed the studies subjects’ environment… If this book reflects objective truth, the ‘appointed time’ for whatever is supposedly coming upon the earth already is at the doorstep. The aliens implied that both Betty and Bob [Betty’s 2nd husband] would experience this happening sometime during their adult life. Betty believes it will be the long-awaited Second Coming of Christ…” (Pg. 212)
This book (and its sequels) will be of keen interest to those studying UFOs.

If you are interested in the Abduction phenomena, that is the best book, the most moving with the most incredible images ever described by an abductee. This is the second book by the author on the same affair, he then went on to write three more books on the same affair, but I haven't read those. Basically, Betty Andreasson describes the most amazing and moving images that have ever read. The book also describes the experience of her second husband, Mr. Luca, and it is also interesting.

One of the most important books of our time and many people aren't even aware it exists...

I've been putting UFO books under the science rubric with the intention of possibly making ufology its own topic in the future. This book, while describing much alien technology, is actually more about psychology than about the physical sciences as the "evidence" it presents was primarily obtained through interviews with hypnotized subjects.
I finished The Andreasson Affair just prior to picking this up, having found the transcript an easy enough read for bedtimes. This, after some overview of the material in the first volume, basically continues the story with the supposed recovery of even more repressed memories of addition abduction experiences. As before, nothing is really learned that can be substantiated. Many hints of some imminent vital message are given, but the message is never delivered and nothing is concretely learned.
To Fowler's credit, the book ends with some critiques of the material obtained by hypnotic regression in general and from Betty Luca in particular. Personally, I take some of these critiques very seriously indeed and do not trust the objective verity of material obtained under trance states unless and until independently corroborated. With the exception of the event which started the whole investigation, an event witnessed by several members of her family in 1967, none of the Luca material is so supported.

Betty Andreasson and Ray Fowlers two books are my favorite in the UFO field.
