NADINE LALICH
Alien Abduction: Fact or Fiction?
Startling Perceptions from a Skeptical Experiencer
For 20 years, Nadine’s professional life included working in the legal field as a project coordinator for public entities and as a document management specialist, analyzing and organizing evidence, issues and events to assist in preparing legal cases for trial. Throughout her life, she has also maintained a pervasive interest in the study of psychology and various techniques for recovery from addictive behavior and emotional trauma. Over a period of ten years, she mentored several hundred individuals in various recovery programs, created and facilitated self-discovery, goal-setting and esteem building workshops and writing groups, and produced a line of inspirational children’s items, nationally distributed. She has explored spiritual expansion, physical healing, and accelerated mental functioning through meditation techniques, sound and light machines, sensory deprivation tanks, neurolinguistic and subliminal programming, and natural healing remedies including herbs, vitamins and reflexology. Overall, her experiences have promoted a unique understanding of the various psychological and emotional states which human beings can experience.
Within the framework of a peaceful and satisfying life, Nadine carried a secret, hidden from everyone in her life except one life-long friend. The truth was that for many years, some kind of extraordinary contact had been taking place with what appeared to be non-human entities. In early 2005, after a particularly prolific period of contact, Nadine’s fear of revealing the secret fell away and a steely determination to investigate and stop the bizarre infringement took its place. She joined MUFON where she soon met Barbara Lamb, a researcher with whom she shared her story and eventually conducted research together and co-authored the book, Alien Experiences, 25 Cases of Abduction.
Nadine has written two books, Alien Experiences and The Dream of Becoming, has appeared on Discovery Channel’s 2007 television program, Best Evidence, Alien Abduction and on Discovery Health Channel’s 2000 television program, Alternatives to Healing. She has been a guest on a number of radio shows including Paranormal Radio and A Global Focus. She has also been a guest panel speaker on alien abduction at the Mutual UFO Network in Orange County in 2007 and 2008, is a board member of the Journal of Abduction Research (“JAR”) and has written articles for the magazine. More information about Nadine and her research can be found at www.alienexperiences.com.

- An overview of 14 years of consciously-recalled contact, including details from several major events
- A comparison between her personal experience and the 24 other cases presented in Alien Experiences
