   Headline:  HAVE ALIENS NABBED YOU? FOR $75, YOU MAY FIND OUT
   By: Karin Schill, Sun staff reporter

   SEDONA  -  Being abducted by space aliens can change your  life,   says
   Sandra Bowen.

     People  who  were  bought  on  board  spaceships  may  not   remember
   afterwards what transpired; they're just left with feelings of fear and
   confusion.   That's why people like herself are on a mission of  mercy,
   the 49 year-old Sedona psychic consultant syas.

     "I have an agreement to teach people," she says.

     A  year  and a half ago,  Bowen moved from the San Francisco area  to
   settle  into a comfortable home in Sedona,  surrounded by the red rocks
   that have made the town famous.

     To  Bowen  those  racks are more than just a  pleasure  to  the  eye,
   however.   They  also  attract a large number  of  Unidentified  Flying
   Objects to the area,  she says.  This is where she can remain in  daily
   contact with those she calls her extraterrestrial friends.

     People  who  suspect they've had an encounter with  a  spaceship  pay
   Bowen $75  per hour for a reading in Bowen't living room. A reading may
   consist of regression,  or hypnosis,  during which Bowen says abductees
   are able to remember what they think are visits to UFOs.

     About a year ago, Bowen also ran support groups for people with space
   ship experiences. People would get together to compare sotries and feel
   tonnected to one another.

     Some who consult Bowen are tourists who find her flier in the Chamber
   of Commerce or local hotels. Others are members of the crystal-clad New
   Age crowd that has taken to Sedona in recent years.  And some are  just
   people with unusual experiences, like businessmen.

     "The businessmen often have problems with thier digestion.  They come
   in  and  say they have these strange feelings they  can't  understand,"
   Bowen says.

     They all come to Sedona, drawn by the town's magic aura, she says.

     "Everybody in Sedona opens up to it.  Dreams, for instance,  are more
   vivid here."

     Bowen's  realization that she can communicate with  extraterrestrials
   beings  came when she did a regression in 1980.  She syas it helped her
   remember how,  a  week earlier,  two aliens had taken her away,  up  to
   their spacecraft.

     She  describes a ramp leading up to a podium on the ship.  There they
   made her lie down on an examination table.

     She said the aliens were "very tall and iridescent and vibrated. They
   had long arms,  their eyes were large and round,  but they didn't  have
   much of a mouth or nose."

     Another  thing she says she noticed was that the aliens had no  feet,
   but floated a few inches above the floor.

     "Then they said they would put light into me," she says.

     The light,  Bowen says,  is the ability to communicate with the  many
   spaceships that hover up in the sky, though not always visibly.

     Crystals  and  crystal  skulls,  supposedly planted on Earth  by  the
   aliens,  also play an intricate part,  Bowen says.  She has many in her
   home and one in a ring on her finger.  It grounds her to the Earth, she
   says.

     In 1988,  Bowen co-authored a book entitled "Mysteries of the Crystal
   Skulls  Revealed."  Crystals are important because they indicate what's
   going  to happen to the Earth,  Bowen says.  And that's where the  UFOs
   come in.

     "They've come to help us because we're destroying the Earth,"   Bowen
   says.

     At the Fund for UFO research in Washington,  a non-profit group,  Don
   Berliner takes such a conclusion with a grain of salt.

     Space aliens are interested in humans solely for their research,   he
   says.   Their  project is extensive,  though nobody knows exactly  what
   they're after.

     "Bizarre  abductions are popping up all over the place,"  he  claims.
   "It's been estimated that over 2 million Americans have had experiences
   with spaceships already."

     Whatever the motives of such encounters are,  and whether or not they
   really happen at all, the interest in visitors from other planets seems
   to be picking up.

     CBS has scheduled a four-hour prime-time mini-series on the topic.
