David,
Supernatural is classic Hancock -- rich in raw material, problematic in some of its conclusions.
You would be engaged, I think, by the former as it relates profoundly to Jung's collective unconcscious and the panspermia hypotheses of Hoyle, Crick, and Orgel.
Hancock contextualizes UFOs and the abduction experience in a manner which is, if not novel, then certainly well developed and illustrated. As is so often the case, I leave the room when the either/or choices are all but force-fed to us.
So ... On balance, I do recommend the most recent paper edition, which contains the author's refinements of certain key passages.

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
