COUNTY News:

The staff at Mesa Public Library presents The Believer: Alien Encounters, Hard Science, and the Passion of John Mack 7-8 p.m. Thursday, July 14.

This free public program will be presented by author and former long-time New York Times reporter Ralph Blumenthal and reveals a tale that is out of this world! 

Blumenthal’s biography of Dr. John Mack—an eminent Harvard psychiatrist and Pulitzer Prize– winning biographer—portrays a man who risked his career to investigate the phenomenon of human encounters with aliens. Blumenthal was an award-winning reporter for the New York Times and coauthored the Times article in 2017 that broke the news of a secret Pentagon unit investigating UFOs. He has written four nonfiction books including Miracle at Sing Sing: How One Man Transformed the Lives of America’s Most Dangerous Prisoners. A distinguished lecturer at Baruch College, he lives in New York City.  

Praise for The Believer: “As a person sane enough to hold a driver’s license, I say, what are we to make of Mack’s findings? Read this gripping, factual account of a mental-health pioneer and truth-seeker by a soundly accredited successful author, veteran New York Times foreign correspondent, and reporter. Decide for yourselves and then tell me.” —Dan Aykroyd 

This program is free to the public and will be livestreamed via Zoom. Registration is required to attend. Visit the event calendar at LosAlamosLibrary.org for more information.
