Question:

I have experienced "missing time." This has almost always occurred in the same area. I spoke to a psychiatrist about this and he said I was imagining it. What do you think it is?

--question from Australia

Answer:

Though your psychiatrist is not enlightened, do not persuade your psychiatrist to believe missing time is real. Your missing time is a very real event. Missing time is one of those bizarre events which is hard to understand for those who have never experienced it.

You know your missing time was real because you probably know how many hours of your time are unaccounted for. Did you take our Alien Abduction survey? If so, you saw that one of the questions was specifically directed at people who have experienced missing time.
