to Bury: The John Mack Files | Ralph Blumenthal
What happens when a Pulitzer-winning psychiatrist starts taking alien abduction stories seriously—and Harvard tries to shut him down?
Ralph Blumenthal, former New York Times investigative reporter, spent 17 years uncovering the life and legacy of Dr. John Mack, a Harvard professor who risked everything to research what he called "experiencer" accounts of alien encounters. In this conversation, Blumenthal dives into Mack’s controversial journey, Harvard’s secret inquiry, and the mystery that still haunts the scientific and spiritual worlds.
