                             TOUR OF A UFO
                            by Paul McCarthy


  Ever wonder what an alien craft might look like inside? If the if the
information  collected  by Temple University historian David Jacobs  is
correct,   it may now be possible to know.  After interviewing 50   UFO
abductees who say they have been whisked off some 275 times, Jacobs has
pieced together a picture of what's under the dome.

  It's incomplete, says Jacobs,  because the atmosphere aboard a UFO is
all  business and no one is offered a guided tour.  Abductees are there
for a physical exam, he says, and they only see as much of the craft as
is neccessary to get the job done.  That's why they invariably describe
spartan,  efficient,  and sterile surroundings with virtually no luxury
features at all.

  These  are clinical-looking rooms with domed ceilings,   skylightlike
windows,  and gray or white walls, Jacobs explains.  And the aliens are
good housekeepers.  "It is clean and neat. We have had some cases where
people vomited and it was cleaned up immediately."

  Despite these broad similarities, Jacobs adds, there are at least two
types  of craft,  "with the typical large UFO checking in at about  two
hundred  feet in diameter and its smaller cousin at  about  thirty-five
feet.  If the craft is on the ground,  abductees climb a staircase that
is  lowered from the object.  But if the vessel is hovering,  they  are
floated up."

  Accidental tourists find themselves in a hallway with metallic  walls
that are usually bare but sometimes contain a floor-to-ceiling  window.
Usually they are ushered along a curved corrider,  which gives them the
feeling  that  they  are  walking around the  perimeter  of  the  ship,
although no one makes a complete loop, says Jacobs. Eventually they are
led  to  the vessel's center,  the "medical arena,"   where  unpleasant
physical examinations occur.

  Virtually  all  medical zones are illuminated by a  mysterious  light
source  that  abductees  cannot locate,  Jacobs says.   But  they  have
pinpointed  the  position of voluminous medical equipment--attached  to
walls  and  ceilings,   in drawers,  or on rolling carts.  As  for  the
examination table,  Jacobs says,  it's generally "hard with very little
give," and contains lighted, armlike devices snaking up from its sides.

  In many cases,  Jacobs notes,  the examination room resembles the hub
of  a  wheel.  The spokes,  or hallways,  lead from the  hub  to  other
chambers,   revealed  only  to  some abductees after  the  exam.   Also
circular,   with  domed ceilings,  white or gray walls,   and  built-in
benches, some of these seem to be "visiting rooms" in which human-alien
hybrid babies are touched, held, or viewed.

  Finally,   abductees  may  pass through a control  room  that  sounds
nothing like the bridge of the starship ENTERPRISE.  There is a console
with lights, an unpadded seat, and no windows.

  While all this is fascinating,  equally interesting is what abductees
don't report,  Jacobs says.  His witnesses are remarkably consistent in
not  describing  living areas and other details expected to pop  up  in
fabricated  or  imagined accounts.  "Of course,"  Jacobs  says,   "that
doesn't mean they don't exist in other parts of the UFO."
