== UFO research ==
Fowler is best known for his UFO [[Unidentified Flying Object]] investigations including documenting the Betty Andreasson Luca [[Alien Abduction]] case that was documented and written about by Fowler. Fowler also investigated and wrote about the [[Allagash Abductions]].
 
He served as Director of Scientific Investigations for MUFON and authored an older edition of the MUFON Field Investigators Manual.<ref>http://paul.rutgers.edu/~cwm/MUFON/fi-manual-toc.html</ref><ref>http://www.amazon.com/Mufon-Investigators-Manual-Raymond-Fowler/dp/9991742794/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1279604846&sr=1-1 Amazon.com MUFON Field Investigators Manual</ref> He also served as the Scientific Associate for the Center for UFO Studies.<ref>http://raymondfowler.org/</ref>
 
[[J. Allen Hynek]], who developed the Hynek UFO classification system (see [[Close Encounter]]), recognized Fowler as one of the outstanding investigators in the UFO field. "An outstanding UFO investigator ... I know of no one who is more dedicated, trustworthy or persevering," Hynek said about Fowler's investigative work.<ref>http://www.crowdedskies.com/ray_fowler_bio.htm</ref>
 
== Scientific work ==
Fowler was recognized for his many scientific efforts, and his work in [[Astronomy]], and his private [[observatory]] was featured in the ''[[Sky & Telescope]]'' journal. Fowler also taught off-campus courses in Astronomy and UFOs at his Massachusetts home. He continues to teach amateur astronomy at his private observatory located at his [[Kennebunk, Maine]] home.<ref>http://raymondfowler.org/</ref>
 
== Personal abduction acknowledgment ==
Later in life Fowler wrote about his realization that he too is an abductee and offered this information in his book ''UFO Testament: Anatomy of an Abductee''. During an interview with Rosemary Guiley<ref>http://www.visionaryliving.com/articles/fowler%20interview.pdf</ref> Fowler listed some of his abduction experiences. Some of those experiences seem to correlate with other abductee testimony such as [[Betty and Barney Hill abduction]] or Luca.
 
Family members did not always welcome fowler’s discovery that he’s an abductee, and his UFO research. His contributions to the UFO field have pretty well stopped after the publication of ''The Watchers'' in which Fowler acknowledged his UFO abduction experiences. For a brief time, Fowler's own grandchildren were not allowed to visit his home. Things have since resolved and the family has once again allowed visitation.<ref>http://www.visionaryliving.com/articles/fowler%20interview.pdf</ref>
