you might come to the same conclusion.
Henry, who ran a Ventura autobody repair
business for years and now does crash damage
estimates for an insurance company, would
readily admit that his folksy on-camera manner
can hardly be compared with that of Koppel, the
savvy anchor of ABC-TV's "Nightline."
But then, why should it?
At 53, Henry just inade his debut on the little
screen this year. Koppel has a lifetime of expe
rience. With each future installment of Henry's
"Alien Encounters" program, he hopes to go
as boldly as possible- where a TV newsman
like Koppel has never gone before.
The direction of the show depends somewhat
on the supply of earthlings-kiiown in the UFO
business as "abductees"-willing to talk about
what happened when they were kidnapped by
extraterrestrial beings.
So far, Henry has done one two-part inter
-view, which first aired in January and has been
rerun a half-dozen times.
Some might say Henry should have a lot less
trouble lining up good guests than his network
TV talk-show eounterparts.
Why?
A privately funded random survey of 5,947
American adults conducted by the Roper Organ
ization in 1991 found that 2 percent of those
polled had at least four types of experiences
consistent with a UFO abduction.
If you take those findings at face value
many critics don't-they su~est that 3. 7 mil
lion Americans have, at one time or another,
been ·kidnapped by aliens. Over the past 30
years, that works out to 340 abductions a day.
Those eyebrow-raising poll results were in
cluded in a 60-page booklet, "Unusual Personal
Experiences: An Analys_is of the Data from
Three National Surveys." Its authors, including
two university professors, created a scientific
stir last year when they mailed the report to
thousands of mental-health professionals, in
part to encourage more sympathetic treatment
of people suffering from so-called "UFO abduc
tion syndrome."
Psychologists should treat these patients as
they would war veterans, victims of family vio
lence or others with post-traumatic stress disor
der, the authors said. They said abductees
should not simply be dismissed as mentally ill.
Henry shares that feeling, and although he's
not familiar with the controversial Roper poll,
he said it sounds as though the poll likely un-
derestimated the true number of abductees. But
even that possibility doesn't make production of
"Alien Encounters" any easier. to get around that he once saw a
