American Chronicles
By, Thomas Horn
John Carpenter
This is part of a special series of Raiders News Network interviews focusing on the 61st Anniversary of the 1947 Roswell, New Mexico UFO Incident. RNN is joined by Mr. John Carpenter, Bachelors of Arts degree in Psychology from DePauw University, Greencastle, Indiana, and Masters degree in Social Work from Washington University, St. Louis, Missouri, as well as Advanced Training in Clinical Hypnosis in order to practice his profession as a psychiatric therapist & hypnotherapist in Branson, Missouri. His life-long curiosity in UFOs led to his volunteering his services to over 120 cases of possible UFO abduction. He has presented his research findings on such programs as Sightings, Encounters, Montel Williams, Strange Universe, as well as being interviewed by OMNI Magazine, USA Today, Time, Women's World and many others. He presented six professional papers at the prestigious M.I.T. conference in 1991. He served as MUFON’s Director of Abduction Research from 1991 to 2000. He has produced eight research DVDs loaded with data and interesting interviews.
RNN: Mr. Carpenter, thank you for doing this interview. Please tell us, how did you get into researching UFO abductions?
CARPENTER: I had always had an interest ever since I was a little boy in this subject because I saw that a number of adults were treating it seriously, and I found that fascinating – that other beings might really be visiting this planet. Years later, when Budd Hopkins and a few others started using professional hypnotherapists to uncover periods of "missing time" in UFO encounters, I realized that I was one of those professionals who had been trained in psychiatry and hypnosis! I wrote Budd Hopkins and MUFON to volunteer my services – never knowing if I would ever actually get to be of service. Wow – they needed many professionals immediately to help; Budd Hopkins called me, discussed techniques, and referred me my first case in 1989.
RNN: Isn't hypnosis suggestive and unreliable for determining truth?
