The account
He described further visits and a trip aboard a craft in 'The Secret of the Saucers' (1955). His mystical, Christ-like 'space brothers' were among the most religious contactee accounts, and Carl Jung discussed his story in 'Flying Saucers: A Modern Myth' (1958).
The sceptical view
There were no other witnesses; Jung treated the account as a psychological rather than physical event.
