== Abduction ==
Later in life Fowler wrote about being an abductee himself sharing this information, most indepth, in his autobiographical book ''UFO Testament: Anatomy of an Abductee''. During an interview with Rosemary Ellen Guiley<ref name="visionaryliving.com">http://www.visionaryliving.com/articles/fowler%20interview.pdf</ref> Fowler listed some of his abduction experiences which seem to correlate with other abductee testimony such as [[Betty and Barney Hill abduction]] and Betty Andreasson Luca.


J. Allen Hynek, who developed the Hynek UFO classification system (see Close Encounter), recognized Fowler as one of the outstanding investigators in the UFO field. "An outstanding UFO investigator ... I know of no one who is more dedicated, trustworthy or persevering," Hynek said about Fowler's investigative work.[5]
Fowler's claim of being an abductee, and his UFO research as a whole, was not always welcome by his family members, because of their religious beliefs on the subject of UFOs. Fowler's extensive investigations in the UFO field lessened after the publication of ''The Watchers I'' and ''The Watchers II'', in which Fowler initially acknowledged his UFO abduction experiences.<ref name="visionaryliving.com"/> He continued writing books on the subject, however, including his own experiences as well as local investigations he had not previously published.
[edit] Scientific Work


Fowler was recognized for his many scientific efforts, and his work in Astronomy, and his private Observatory was featured in the Sky & Telescope journal. Fowler also taught off-campus courses in Astronomy and UFOs at his Massachusetts home. He continues to teach amateur astronomy at his private observatory located at his Kennebunk, Maine home.[6]

Later in life Fowler wrote about his realization that he too is an abductee and offered this information in his book UFO Testament: Anatomy of an Abductee.

Of note: Fowler's discovery that he's an abductee, and his UFO research, was not always welcomed by family members. His contributions to the UFO field have pretty well stopped after the publication of The Watchers in which Fowler acknowledged his UFO abduction experiences. For a brief time, Fowler's own grandchildren were not allowed to visit his home. Things have since resolved and the family has once again allowed visitation.[8]

Raymond Eveleth Fowler (born November 11, 1933, in Salem, Massachusetts) is an American author and UFO researcher.

UFO research

Fowler is best known for his UFO (Unidentified Flying Object) investigations and books focusing primarily on UFO sightings and close encounters in the New England area of the U.S., including the Betty Andreasson Luca Alien Abduction case written about by Fowler. He also investigated and wrote about the Allagash Abductions, an alleged multiple persons abduction case, which was cast into doubt by one of the witnesses in 2016.[1]

Fowler served as Director of Scientific Investigations for MUFON and authored an older edition of the MUFON Field Investigators Manual.[2][3] He also served as the Scientific Associate for the Center for UFO Studies.[4] Fowler had also served as an associate member and eventually chairman of NICAP (National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena).

Abduction

Later in life Fowler wrote about being an abductee himself sharing this information, most indepth, in his autobiographical book UFO Testament: Anatomy of an Abductee. During an interview with Rosemary Ellen Guiley[5] Fowler listed some of his abduction experiences which seem to correlate with other abductee testimony such as Betty and Barney Hill abduction and Betty Andreasson Luca.

Fowler's claim of being an abductee, and his UFO research as a whole, was not always welcome by his family members, because of their religious beliefs on the subject of UFOs. Fowler's extensive investigations in the UFO field lessened after the publication of The Watchers I and The Watchers II, in which Fowler initially acknowledged his UFO abduction experiences.[5] He continued writing books on the subject, however, including his own experiences as well as local investigations he had not previously published.
