Star Children

Star Children examines claims that some people living among us may have extraterrestrial origins. Jenny Randles considers the belief that certain individuals are human-alien hybrids, or that alien spirits inhabit human bodies, sometimes without their conscious knowledge.

Drawing on reported abduction and contact experiences, the book discusses accounts involving pregnancy, children, vivid dreams, hypnosis, telepathy and encounters with strange beings. British material includes cases linked with Lancashire and Todmorden, alongside wider claims investigated by UFO researchers. Randles also weighs psychological and earthly explanations, presenting star-child stories as disputed testimony rather than established fact. The result is an account of a distinctive strand of late 20th-century UFO belief, centred on identity, memory and alleged extraterrestrial influence.
