Hosts Janet Kira Lessin & Karen Christine Patrick interview guest David M. Jacobs.

David Michael Jacobs is a retired professor of history at Temple University in Philadelphia.   He has also been a UFO researcher since 1966.  In 1973, he completed his doctoral dissertation in field of intellectual history at the University of Wisconsin-Madison on the controversy over unidentified flying objects in America.  This was only the second Ph.D. degree granted with a dissertation involving a UFO-related theme (since then there have been many others).

He has written and delivered many articles, papers, and addresses on the subject of UFOs and abductions.   He has been a consultant to the major UFO organizations.  From 1977 to 2011 he taught the country’s only regular curriculum university course on UFOs and abductions: “UFOs and American Society.”   Since the early 1980s, he has specialized in the UFO abduction phenomenon.  He has investigated over 1,150 abductions with 150 individuals.

He has lectured widely on the subject both internationally and at colleges and universities across the United States.  He delivered the first abduction phenomenon paper to a scientific organization at Cornell University in 1989.  In 1992 he participated in the History of Science Society’s first session on UFOs.  In 2013 he was the first person to deliver a talk about UFO abductions at Oxford University.  Since 1972 he has discussed UFOs and abductions on hundreds of radio, television, and internet shows both nationally and internationally.

In 1991, Dr. Jacobs and colleague Budd Hopkins conducted the nationally publicized Roper Organization poll of the abduction phenomenon.
