The Andreasson Affair: The True Story of a Close Encounter of the Fourth Kind

Something extraordinary happened to Betty Andreasson. Maybe she encountered non-human visitors or maybe something even more strange. Whatever the origin of her experience, her immensely powerful story awed me. Its rich and provocative imagery will remain with me forever.

—Whitley Strieber, author of Communion

[The Andreasson Affair] is a book that will captivate, bother, intrigue, and even frighten as one pursues it and contemplates its implications.

—Dr. J. Allen Hynek, founder, Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS)

The Classic Case of Alien Abduction Rereleased with a New Afterword for a New Generation

The Andreasson Affair is more than just a classic example of a close encounter. It is—to use the jargon of ufologists—a case of such “high strangeness” that even the most open-minded investigators were at first inclined to dismiss it out of hand. Yet it has become probably the best documented case of its kind to date, the subject of an intensive 12-month investigation conducted for the Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS) that involved, among other things, the recording of large quantities of testimony given under hypnosis, extensive lie detector testing of witnesses, detailed analysis of corroborative circumstantial evidence, exhaustive comparison with other such accounts, and much more.

The Andreasson Affair includes:

• The most detailed description of any UFO abduction experience.


• Betty’s precise drawings of her experience.


• A supporting foreword to the book by astronomer Dr. J. Allen Hynek.


• Verification of all events associated with Betty’s experience.
