Ann Livingston made her living as an accountant, but she was also an abductee
and a MUFON investigator and had published an article entitled "Electronic
Harassment and Alien Abductions" in the November 1993 MUFON Journal. The
article was highly critical of Julianne McKinney, director of the Electronic
Surveillance Project of the Association of National Security Alumni; McKinney
discounts UFO phenomena, believing that what passes for such is most often one
kind of governmental ploy or another, whether in the form of experimental machinery
or experimental psychology.
Some facts which seem relevant to the case stand out. At 7:15 am, December 29,
1992, Livingston's apartment close to O'Hare airport, in Chicago, Illinois,
was lit up brightly by a silver-white flash. She was accosted later in the day
while in her apartment parking lot by 5 MIBs (Men in Black) which she described
as being almost faceless and carrying long, flashlight-like black objects. She
was rendered unconscious. It is not known what may have been done to her at
this time, or why. Like investigative radio host Mae
Brussell and author Karla
Turner, Livingston died in early 1994 of a fast-acting form of ovarian cancer.
