This letter was written by Dr. Bruce Cornet to defend Dr. Mack against the
outrageous attack against him by the secret committee at Harvard
University trying to remove him from his position as faculty for his
statements on the existence of extraterrestrials. Dr. Mack has
interviewed hundreds of patients who claim to have been abducted by
extraterrestrials, and is the author of the best selling book,
"Abduction," and earned the Pulitzer prize in 1977 for "A Prince of Our
Disorder."

Dear Dr. Relman & Associates:
<p>
I have been contacted by Dr. John E. Mack, and have been asked by
Dr. Mack to communicate to you my professional judgement regarding a
number of issues that your Committee is addressing. I am concerned that
any "findings" that you make with regard to Dr. Mack's work will be based
on inadequate or biased data and misinterpretation, and on an inadequate
understanding of the benefits his work is having on his patients, not to
mention mankind.
<p>
I wish my present STATEMENT to be included as a formal part of the
Official Record of your inquiry into the research being conducted by Dr.
Mack.
<p>
My education and professional backgrounds are as follows:
<p>
I earned my B.A. in biology (1970) and M.S. in paleobotany (1973)
at the University of Connecticut, and my Ph.D. in geology and palynology
(1977) at the Pennsylvania State University. I did post-doctorate
research in geology and paleobotany at the Lamont-Doherty Earth
Observatory, Columbia University (1989-1990), and worked closely with
Professor Paul E. Olsen, one of the leading experts in the country on
ancient climatic cycles and dinosaur evolution. I am the author or
coauthor of 21 refereed scientific papers and two books, all on
paleontological and/or geological subjects. I have 14 years experience in
the oil industry, and was president of Geminoil, Inc., which successfully
explored for and found oil on the East Coast in the early 1980's in
Triassic age rocks thought to be barren of hydrocarbons. I was an
integral part of the largest, NSF funded, continental coring project on
the East Coast (1990-1992), which successfully recovered the first
detailed history of the earth's climate preceding and during the early
part of the age of dinosaurs.
<p>
During my doctoral studies at Penn State I discovered
angiosperm-like pollen in rocks 100 million years older than the oldest
accepted age for the flowering plants, and I publically announced my
discovery not long after the majority of botanists had cast their vote for
the dominant theory, which stated that no such fossils of that age could
exist. Subsequent discoveries of leaves and flowers strongly support a
Triassic rather than Cretaceous age for the oldest angiosperms. One of my
most recent discoveries on this subject is acknowledged in the January
1995 issue of Discover magazine.

<p>
With regard to the issue of <a href="alien-cultures.html">Extraterrestrial Intelligence</a>, it is
my professional and academic judgement that there are ample physical,
geophysical, and photographic data collected by me during my two and a
half years of research into the <a href="ufo.html">UFO phenomenon</a> to support the hypothesis
that this planet is currently inhabited by more than one sentient
intelligent humanoid species, and that this non-human species has in its
possession technologies thousands of years beyond our own. Through my own
personal experiences I have observed and witnessed this phenomenon, and
interacted with this intelligence. From direct field investigation I have
overwhelming photographic and geophysical evidence for the existence of
these technologies and this intelligence, and for the ability of this
species to conceal its activities through the use of technology-assisted
mind control techniques and telepathy. My success in obtaining these
unprecedented data appears to have been deliberately planned by the
non-humans as part of a long term agenda to gradually educate mankind
without causing undue harm or damage to his religious and socio-economic
structures and institutions. I can state from personal contact with this
species that their behavior, culture, and appearance are so different from
ours that no simple and direct contact is currently possible without
overloading man's capability to recover from the intellectual and cultural
shock. My education by the extraterrestrials has been slow, progressive,
and benign, with considerable compassion, foresight, and planning to allow
me to recover from the many tolerable shocks I have endured through their
revelations. Because of my scientific training and critical inquiry, I
first attempted to model what I had learned in order to build a credible
theory for their activities and purpose. I have attempted to falsify my
interpretations wherever and whenever possible, and I required the
non-humans to give me adequate redundancy of evidence before I would draw
any substantial conclusions. It has been made clear to me by them that
they will push our envelope of acceptance of new realities only as far as
we can tolerate the rate of change (i.e. without causing rupture of the
envelope). I can demonstrate from the sequence of my many personal
experiences, contacts, and discoveries that they have carefully laid out
many clues, symbolic and actual, for me to contemplate and/or follow as my
awareness of their reality and the reasons for their methods has
increased. They want us to know them without fearing them. They will no
longer tolerate cover-ups.
<p>
After watching the miniseries on television called Intruders in
May of 1992 (based on the work of Hopkins and Mack), I was moved to want
more information on the subject of alien abductions. Prior to seeing that
miniseries I had no interest and almost no conscious knowledge of UFOs or
aliens. I went to the bookstore and found one book that in hindsight
changed my life, research interests, and career goals. It was Silent
Invasion (1991) by Ellen Crystall. From reading that book I discovered
that I lived next to a major UFO hotspot in Orange County, New York. I
contacted Ellen, and she took me out into the field with her. It only
took two visits to the Pine Bush area before I realized that what I was
seeing was too weird to be explained as either natural phenomena or
conventional aircraft. I began a 20 square mile magnetic and geologic
survey of the area, which was completed in 1993. From that survey I
discovered magnetic anomalies that could not be produced by any natural or
known phenomena. I discovered and documented locations for apparent
underground transmitters of polarized magnetic photon beams out into
space. One physicist told me that my data proved a theory that such a
form of "invisible" light actually existed! I found areas where the
magnetic background sometimes became so unstable and changed so radically
that I could feel it change moment by moment. I recorded transient
magnetic anomalies that were measured in tens of thousands of gammas,
which is far beyond anything normal or cultural. And I witnessed and
recorded my compass pointing towards the south during the photographing of
a UFO performance, indicating a synchronous aerial magnetic anomaly.
<p>
I have photographically recorded with time exposures (sometimes
with accompanying dynamic camcorder records) over 100 night sightings and
close encounters, including low fly-overs and <a href="RKMCorner/spaceships.html">spectacular maneuvers of
plasma lights</a> in the sky. The shapes of these craft were anything but
conventional, and they certainly were not figments of my imagination
(there were sometimes multiple witnesses). Their stealth technology is
awesome, and beyond anything our military has admitted to having. For
example, I was in a helicopter over the hot spot in daylight when a craft
buzzed us at Mach 8 less than 500 feet away. We saw a flash of light and
felt a very muffled shock wave that bounced the helicopter. We captured
three such passes on film and videotape, which allowed me to determine
speed and plasma light characteristics. But why then did these craft put
on so many spectacular performances for my cameras? The military would
not display top secret technology for any civilian camera.
<p>
I have redundant documentation that these craft use ionized
plasmas for light sources rather than conventional lights. I have
extraordinary photographs that show plasma bubbles being generated
(identified and confirmed by plasma physicists). The plasma lights can be
powered up to 30 times normal size and brightness, lighting up the sky and
causing the ionization of the atmosphere to produce plumes of visible
nitrous oxide gases. The photographs are conclusive! Such displays have
to involve enormous amounts of energy. I have photographic and audio
documentation that they can mimic conventional aircraft light patterns and
colors, produce conventional aircraft sounds, and even change shape to
confuse and/or deceive observers. From my observations, most craft travel
silently; they can hover, make high speed right angle turns, and can
accelerate to incredible speeds in an instant (documented with video and
photographs). The performances for my cameras were clearly designed to
show me their technological capabilities and how they can transformation
to create illusions. I have documented with cameras on tripods two feet
apart that their craft can project different images to each camera and
observer. I have dozens of photographs that show how they can manipulate
and bend their plasma lights by powerful magnetic force fields around the
craft to produce all sorts of figures in the night sky on my photographic
canvas. I have time exposures showing double helix patterns complete with
nodes, Fibonacii vortices, giant loops of spiral light, and various types
of wave forms, small spirals, alternating loops, and harmonic oscillations
that cannot be reproduced by camera vibration or any known natural
phenomena. I even have two photographs showing craft diving into the
ground without any visible or detectable effect. I don't know of any
stunt pilot who could create such an illusion, if that is what it was!
<p>
I have dozens of photographs that prove that the pilots of these
craft are capable of either reading my mind or controlling my mind during
a photographic event. Sequences of time exposures for several encounters
show purposeful movements or signatures of light just after the camera
shutter opened and just before it closed. One sequence shows a craft
making right angle elevator moves timed exactly across the gaps between
pictures, indicating a synchronicity that is undeniable and impossible to
explain without employing some kind of telepathy! My being able to
capture a craft travelling at Mach 8 past my helicopter with single
photographs taken at 1/1000th of a second is extraordinary proof that
there was a mind link during the fly-by. There is no other way to account
for such timing or synchronicity. The distance the lights moved at that
exposure time was how I established their approximate speed. Try
photographing a bullet leaving the muzzle of a rifle without knowing when
that rifle is going to be fired; muzzle velocities are typically less
than a third the calculated speed of the craft. I captured on film three
such craft buzzing the helicopter like that, and each picture shows the
plasma lights on the craft just entering the frame! I also have
corroboration from a video record of one of those events. Through
photographing numerous performances I became aware of changes in my mental
state during the events. I found that I could override or confuse the
situation by deliberately changing my thoughts and reactions, which
resulted in out-of-sync patterns of light movement. Through
experimentation (with willing performers) I have accumulated an
extraordinary body of evidence that strongly supports if not proves the
existence of intelligently controlled non-human technology on earth.
<p>
My gradual education by the extraterrestrials progressed to the
point that I would sometimes be escorted by a UFO as I drove along a
highway at night. A single bright white light would move close to my
vehicle, and position itself just off to the right side of the highway.
The craft itself was usually as black as the night sky, and only
occasionally would a silhouette of its shape be glimpsed. It would pace
my vehicle about 1/8th to 1/4 mile ahead of me about two or three tree
heights above the ground. This light matched the speed of my vehicle,
stopped with me for tolls, and made the same exit and turns I made. On
several occasions such a light would precede me home (so that I would
always have it in sight while driving), and then park itself in the sky
for awhile before leaving or blinking out. One time a UFO light paced my
van with my family in it from Red Bank, New Jersey, to Newark airport. I
got photographs. Another time when a friend (who works as an editor for
the New York Times) and I entered the UFO hotspot area in New York, a
craft (with one large white light and a small red light) moved in front of
us and escorted us silently into the area, stopping with us (just above
and ahead of the traffic light), then turning with us several times. I
had a clear telepathic link with one of the occupants, because I got a
mental greeting and felt an expression of joy or excitement that I was
there. When I told my friend, who was driving (he was impressed beyond
words), that we were going to make a turn up ahead, the craft sped ahead
and waited for us at the turn! I know of no helicopter pilot who could do
that without first bugging our vehicle!
<p>
Another time two UFOs paced me along the Garden State Parkway, one
on either side of me, all the way from the Atlantic City exit to Red Bank,
a distance of about 72 miles. I had clear telepathic contact with
occupants of both craft, who complimented me on the cable TV show I had
just done on UFOs in Atlantic City, and who even made some funny
statements, such as, "You must have a problem refueling." I was
telepathically told not to slow down or stop. One craft moved silently
back and forth across the highway in plain view of other drivers, and shot
ahead several times. For me it was entertaining to see this activity, and
realize how unperceptive and blind to this reality most humans are. That
craft stopped and hovered over some buildings, and began glowing a powder
blue color. The size of the elliptical craft was enormous. The other
smaller craft paced me all the way to Red Bank, and allowed me to
photograph it at an intersection. As I slowed to a stop for a red light,
the craft slowed to a stop just ahead of me. I thought of taking a
picture, and grabbed my camera, which was on the seat beside me. The
craft turned around and came back towards my truck. I braced and steadied
my camera against the side window for one second exposures. The pilot
stopped the craft over the intersection in front of the camera, and turned
on many lights so that I could get two spectacular photographs. This
really happened, and I've got photographs to prove it!
<p>
There are now many reports being made by individual human beings
that they have had direct personal contact with Extraterrestrial Beings
who pilot these so-called Unidentified Flying Objects. But to me they are
no less identifiable than any conventional aircraft I see in the skies. I
have had many sightings and encounters with such craft, and now can
identify several different types, their sizes and shapes, their flight
characteristics, and their lighting characteristics. It is my
professional and academic judgement that these craft have been designed
and built by non-humans. Based on my own <a href="abduction.html">abduction experiences</a>, of which
I have had three since I became involved in this research, and based on
fragmentary spontaneous recall of abductions that go back at least to my
senior year in high school, memories of which did not begin to surface
until after I saw Intruders on television, I can say without equivocation
that these beings do exist. I have met them. I know what they look like,
feel like, smell like, and telepath like. I have had telepathic
conversations with them in their presence and while they were in their
craft. They are not a figment of my imagination, an hallucination, or
characters in a lucid dream. I know because of the surgical procedures
some of these beings have performed on me, marks and scars of which still
can be detected. I have also sustained serious injuries: e.g. just before
being paralized and then knocked unconscious (from an energy blow to the
back of my head, which left a large brown bruise) I looked into the
intense plasma lights of a shuttle craft as it landed next to my parked
vehicle. A sharp pain shot through my left eye. As I turned away a clear
telepathic voice said, "Do not look at the lights; look straight ahead."
But it was too late. The vitreous humor in that eye was permanently
damaged. My wife was there also, and remembers the craft and missing
time. Every day I am reminded of that experience by what I see! I can
never forget it. I am not bitter. But there are many people who have
experienced these traumas, and they don't want their intelligence insulted
by some professional with a belief problem who says, "It's all just in
your head!"
<p>
It is my understanding that your Committee is contemplating
declaring that Dr. John Mack's work with persons who have reported to Dr.
Mack that they have been abducted by Extraterrestrial Beings is both
violative of the standards of the psychiatric profession and contrary to
the standards of scholastic research demanded of faculty members of
Harvard University. If such is the case, and if such happens, then
Harvard University will sink to a new standard for incompetent leadership
and psychiatric malpractice.
<p>
Even if Dr. Mack communicates his personal beliefs regarding these
phenomena, or his personal beliefs are known to the patient prior to
counseling, his integrity and honesty would have far less damaging effect
than a psychiatrist who does not believe in the reality of such
experiences or who refuses to consider such a reality when treating a
patient. It is my professional and academic judgement that The Committee
would be committing a very serious error if it were to conclude that any
such communication of belief on the part of Dr. Mack to his patients is
professionally or academically unsound. A professional must look
objectively at all possible explanations for reported contact with
extraterrestrial beings, and must consider all available evidence,
including the vast literature on UFOs. I have found that most scientists
in mainstream science are profoundly ignorant of that literature, and the
wealth of valid data it contains. I am appalled by the attitudes of
scientists, who turn in their academic credentials in order to ridicule a
phenomenon about which they know so little, and all because of appearance
and vanity. How unprofessional and closed minded can one be!
<p>
In my opinion, it is Dr. Mack who should convene your Committee in
order to determine the validity and integrity of your inquiry. I do not
consider it irresponsible for Dr. Mack to communicate to his
abductee-experiencers and associates his judgement that the UFO phenomenon
is real, and the possibility that experiencers are actually being abducted
by UFO occupants. On the contrary, I consider it his duty as a
professional psychiatrist to examine evidence for alien abduction so that
he can help the experiencer deal with his or her trauma. It is only
through revealing the truth about a problem that someone can deal with
that problem effectively. You should know that!
<p>
If I were accorded a reasonable opportunity to appear personally
before your Committee, I would be able to answer any questions which The
Committee might have concerning the specific data and experiences that
form the basis for my professional judgement in each of these related
areas. I challenge you to come with me into the field so that I can
introduce you to our non-human earth inhabitants. They have been around
here longer than we have, and I can show you earth-shaking lunar evidence
in support of that statement also!
<p>
However, without your willingness to undertake such an inquiry, it
is my firm professional judgement that your Committee will be doing Dr.
Mack, your respected university, and your personal professional
reputations a grievious disservice if you manifest the "findings" set
forth above on the basis of a record which is so transparently devoid of
any reasonable effort on your part to become objectively informed of the
undeniable evidence and substantial proofs available in this field.
Albert Einstein said, "Pure logical thinking cannot yield us any
information about the empirical world; all knowledge of reality starts
from experience and ends in it. Propositions arrived at by purely logical
means are completely empty of reality." It is the experiencers who know
the reality of which you are so ignorant.
<p>
I do hope that you will listen to the evidence in support of Dr.
Mack before you precipitiously rush to judgement against him and his
patients in this important matter.
<p>
Sincerely yours,
<p>
Dr. Bruce Cornet
