Nobel prize winning scientist has an abduction experience - Magical Realist - Dec 28, 2024

In the mid-1980s, Kary Mullis was alone on his wooded property in Mendocino County, California when he had an experience that defied all explanation. He said that he, quote, “got spirited away by mysterious beings.” Unquote. It was while driving to this same property that he one time figured out the polymerase chain reaction, a reaction that can copy a DNA strand many times. He later won the Nobel Prize for this in 1993 [Mullis].
