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:
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.
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.
My education and professional backgrounds are as follows:
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.
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.

With regard to the issue of Extraterrestrial Intelligence, 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 UFO
phenomenon 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.
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.
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
spectacular maneuvers of plasma lights 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.
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!
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.
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!
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!
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 abduction
experiences, 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!"
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.
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!
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!
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!
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.
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.
Sincerely yours,
Dr. Bruce Cornet
