Alien Abduction of The Wyoming Hunter: First person story of Carl Higdon, October 25, 1974

This is an account of an ‘abduction’ of Carl Higdon, which happened in October of 1974, written from the perspective of his wife Margery. She details her emotions and reactions in trying to understand what had happened to the man she loved, and the continuing puzzlement all these years later. Virtually everything in the book has already been documented on TV or online, which makes this a tough choice as a book purchase. We have come a long way in deciphering and understanding these cases over the decades. This recalling should be released in a book from the notes and observations of Dr. Leo Springle, and then add Margery’s thought and comments as an appendix for additional insight. As a standalone book, it’s unnecessary. I’ll make two comments concerning what was written. On page five, reflecting on Carl’s alien ‘abduction’, he states that the man (entity) ASKED Carl if he wanted to go with him. Carl says, “I might as well”. How can a man who just AGREED to go consider that an ‘abduction’? Carl made the choice to go. The Extraterrestrial from 163, 000 light years from Earth, named Auzzo One, makes small talk to Carl, telling him he is also a hunter, and was interested in his ‘primitive weapon’, but couldn’t keep it. Auzzo One also talks about his planet, as if this were a ‘hunters bond’ interaction. Secondly, Carl felt like he had an examination. On page 7, the ET’s made a statement that Carl repeats, “I am not what they want. They will take me back”. So, what do these extraterrestrials really want? Are they looking for specific human blood types? Hmmmmm.

Print on demand book that reads like it was written by a first grader. No editor was involved and the font is about 18 with double spaces to make it lover than 10 pages. I wanted to read the definitive version of events presented by this “first person account,” but instead got a very general summary repeated over and over while adding nothing new. No maps or photos or drawings aside from the cover. No description of the location of where the events supposedly took place. Save your money and read the numerous accounts available free online and in newspaper archives. At least you’ll get some background and a more details tha are presented in this abbreviated booklet. This book is a complete waste of money and I can’t recommend it even to hardcore UFO nuts like myself.

I really liked this book. It is an account of a truly bizarre "alien abduction" case written by the wife of the victim. I don't know what to make of the event (or other weird abduction cases for that matter), but I enjoyed reading about the case from the wife's perspective.The only drawback to the book is that it is formatted a little weird and the writing is a choppy, but it isn't distracting, and this should probably be expected from a self-published book put out by the victim's wife. A lot of the criticism of the book centers around the writing style and book formatting which I think is a little unfair. I mean, you bought a low-priced, self-published book written by the wife of a man allegedly abducted by aliens—it's kind of silly to complain about wasting your money. Didn't you pretty much know what you were signing up for when you bought it?

The abduction story of Carl Higdon is mentioned in many places, but it's frequently glossed over as a lead-in to other more well-known cases of the 1970s. I first heard about Carl Higdon in an old episode of "In Search Of..."The writing in this book is rough and seems unedited. The storytelling is often circular, either to drive home points or to extend the content. There are certain points that cannot be gleaned from television shows, documentaries, or other in-depth articles on the Higdon case, but I would still prefer the direct transcripts of Leo Sprinkle to this.Is it worth reading? Yes.Is it a good reference source? Only if you have never heard of Carl Higdon.

Growing up in Wyoming and the area this took place this story was short, sweet, and to the point. It is a fast read. Read the whole book in less than 2 hours. It describes an account of an alien abduction. Seen ufos myself in Wyoming. Great read.

Yes I would recommend this book. I have read a few things about Carl's experience. It's nice to read about it told by someone so close.

I've heard this factual story since I was a kid, it is good to see it in print. Sometimes there is a detail or two that gets lost in the repeating.

Good alien story

This book is total dross. Spelling mistakes and grammatical errors make it unreadable in places. It barely qualifies as a book. Lots of things written in CAPS and BOLD ITALICS. The Wikipedia entry is written better. A complete waste of money, time, postage, and paper.

I understand that it is written in more of a note taking, diary type text, however there are many parts left out. Under hypnosis what was said. The transcripts should have been included. Did she mean 163,000 light years from our planet. How long was he missing? What did he see when he arrived at their planet. There is more information on the search engine in google. Margery repeated the same information about five times.
