Witnesses said a man in a trench coat then lit a cigarette and walked away....

John E. Mack, the Harvard psychiatrist most noted for his controversial work with victims of alien abductions, has died in a traffic accident. Personally, my general take on alien abduction is along the lines of, "How on Earth could anyone believe this stuff!", but Mack's name still pops up in the stuff about UFOs and general kookery that I read from time to time.

Anyway, I'm off to put two strips of masking tape in the shape of the letter "X" on my window....
