The UFO community lost one of its leading lights Tuesday with the death of author and abduction therapist Constance Clear, 53, who died in a Phoenix hospital from injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident last month.
This writer interviewed Clear in June at the
Alternate Realities Conference in Roan Mountain, Tenn. She authored the book
Reaching for Reality,
reviewed on this website, which contained the testimony of a group of seven abductees that Clear counseled in San Antonio, Texas.
Clear became good friends with abductee and best-selling author Whitley Strieber and his wife Anne, who had moved to San Antonio and often referred people to Clear for counseling. Clear was known as a sensitive and skilled therapist who had a powerful healing effect on her clients, as the abductees in her book testified.
She also hosted a radio talk show and was a frequent talk show guest and conference speaker. At the ARC conference, she told this writer that she had moved to Sholo, Ariz., partly because she had become increasingly concerned over
chemtrails, allegedly a secret government project to spray tiny particles of aluminum oxides in the atmosphere to reduce global warming. She had compiled an extensive scrapbook of photos and information on the phenomena.
In her book, Clear decried the lack of consideration the psychiatric community gives to victims of alien abduction. Because of the small number of therapists trained to help abductees, Clear's death will be a significant loss to that community.
This writer remembers Constance Clear as an intelligent and vivacious person deeply concerned about the cosmic changes occurring in our world. I felt privileged to have met her and mourn her loss.
