Abstract: "Pizlo, Rosenfeld, and Weiss[6] suggest that people perceive two 2-D shapes as the same (i.e., there is shape constancy) when one shape might be a perspective image of the other. We argue that this hypothesis is both too broad and too restrictive. Their view is too broad because, as we show, two such images can appear quite different when there is significant perspective distortion. Their view is too restrictive because factors such as context and the complexity of the shapes compared can play a role in judgements of shape constancy. Moreover, Pizlo et al.''s formulation is asymmetric in requiring that one of the images be considered the model which produces the other. One can consider removing this asymmetry by judging shapes as the same when they could be two perspective views, taken with the same camera, of a third planar shape. We show that this is true if and only if the images are projectively equivalent. However, Pizlo et al. have convincingly rejected projective equivalence as a model of shape constancy."

Revealing and unsettling interviews with over sixty real-life individuals who claim they were abducted by aliens from the author of The UFO Controversy in America. In Secret Life, retired professor David M. Jacobs takes us into the private world of those abducted by aliens, letting them describe in their own words what it is like to be abducted. Based on interviews with sixty individuals and more than 300 independently corroborated accounts, Secret Life presents the most complete and accurate picture of alien abductions ever compiled. Dr. Jacobs takes the reader on a minute-by-minute journey through a typical abduction experience and describes in detail the bizarre physical, mental and reproductive procedures that abductees claim have been administered by small alien beings. Jacobs draws from these interviews a profoundly unsettling reason behind the abductions: aliens are conducting a complex reproductive experiment involving the conception, gestation. or incubation of human and alien hybrid beings.
