Aliens?" The video discusses different possible explanantions for these

their sexual peaks. I've looked though all the books I have on

how to accomodate this student's needs. Have any of you taught cog psych to

I believe it was the Discovery Channel that had three hours worth of sleep

Hello-
I recommend reading Spanos, N.P, Cross, P.A, Dickson, K. DuBreuil (1993).
Close encounters: An examination of UFO experiences. Journal of Abnormal
Psychology, 102, 624-632. To my knowledge this is the most recent
empirical study of UFO experiences.
