The account

For: the four, including twin brothers Jack and Jim Weiner, were hypnotised separately and gave similar accounts, which Fowler saw as strong corroboration.

The sceptical view

Against: in 2016 Chuck Rak said parts of the story were fabricated and disputed the missing time, though he stopped short of calling it a total hoax; the others reject his claims.
