THE INDIANAPOLIS STAR
|
|
|
|
Reports of UFO sightings or abductions are numerous; evidence to
|
|
support the claims scarce.
|
|
|
|
Here is one case study:
|
|
|
|
Debbie Jordan of Kokomo was the subject of Intruders, a
|
|
best-selling book written in the mid-1980s by Budd Hopkins.
|
|
|
|
Jordan, known only as "Kathie Davis" in the book, believes she
|
|
may have been abducted and even impregnated by aliens in the late
|
|
1970s.
|
|
|
|
The book told a long story of memories lost and found through
|
|
hypnotic regression, and cited evidence of unusual, scorched earth
|
|
in Jordan's back yard when she lived in Indianapolis. There also
|
|
were claims of "positive blood and urinalysis tests," confirming
|
|
Jordan's impregnation, in the book.
|
|
|
|
Where's the paperwork?
|
|
|
|
Yet, in a 1987 interview with The Indianapolis News, and again
|
|
in an interview earlier this week with The Star, author Hopkins
|
|
said it was Jordan herself who made the claims of proof of
|
|
pregnancy, and conceded that he did not actually have the
|
|
documentation nor had he seen it.
|
|
|
|
(Jordan has said that she also does not have the documentation
|
|
in hand - her doctor had it but didn't want to get involved, she
|
|
said.)
|
|
|
|
Furthermore, a soil analysis of ground taken from Jordan's back
|
|
yard, purporting to show that it could no longer hold water, itself
|
|
does not hold water. (Claims that soil cannot hold water are fairly
|
|
common in UFO landing cases.)
|
|
|
|
Vernon Grebe of Mobay Chemical Corp. in Baltimore, who did the
|
|
soil analysis, told The News in 1987 that the sample he examined
|
|
did hold water and said he duly reported this fact to his superiors.
|
|
Family ties
|
|
|
|
This finding was excluded from the lab report reprinted in the
|
|
book, however. Grebe did find that the soil sample was low in
|
|
nitrogen compared to a control sample, but what this would prove is
|
|
unclear.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, Grebe said (and Hopkins confirmed) that the
|
|
Baltimore lab was run by a relative of Hopkins, a man married to
|
|
his niece.
|
|
|
|
Hopkins said the lab report he reprinted in his book was the
|
|
only one he ever saw. "I wasn't dealing with Grebe," he said.
|
|
Furthermore, said Hopkins, when he tested the soil sample himself,
|
|
it did not dissolve in water.
|
|
|
|
Hopkins also said he turned to the Baltimore lab, not because
|
|
of the family connection but because he knew no one else with the
|
|
expertise to perform the soil analysis.
|
|
|
|
He added that any legitimate party with access to a lab can
|
|
test his soil samples if they wish.
