Best Abduction Book To This Date

Let me just start off by mentioning that I read Budd Hopkin's book Sight Unseen and was somewhat disappointed in it. Although it did pick up at the end. So altogether I was not too prospective about this book, but I was totally wrong. The way he writes in Intruders and the way he writes in Sight Unseen are completely different. The characters and their stories are so much more believable and just better written than in Unseen. At certain points in the book I really felt compassion and sadness for these people and their experiences. I mean like the author says, abduction accounts are one of two things. One, it's some new psychological disorder that a mass of people from cultures throughout the world are developing, in which people have almost identical experiences involving very serious, intimate actions. Or, second, Extraterrestrials are real. They are here. And they're taking people and conducting experiments involving very serious, invasive things. Either way, these two scenarios, whichever it might be need to be looked at and studied extensively, and these people "Victims" should not be ridiculed or shunned anymore than an abused or raped person should receive. Saying all of that, this book strongly supports the E.T. involvement scenario and goes into extreme detail about the experiences of these people. These people deserve help either way. This book is a great read and will surely be at the top of your alien abduction book list.

Just One Step Behind "Missing Time"

I have read this book (actually the hardcover) several times and even cited it as resource material for a college paper (back in the day). Powerfully written. Each reader has to make up their own mind about the subject matter, but there is no denying the talent which Hopkins possesses when he puts pen to paper. Not as "edge of your seat" as Missing Time, but a very close second. You will not be disappointed.

Kinda hits home

I read this book several years ago after seeing what I would have to describe as "strange aerial phenomenon" near my home. I was disturbed at this sighting and wanted to know what others have been claiming for the past 50 years. Reading this book I felt a real dread quality over everything. It was one of the more interesting books I've read in the field of alien abduction/UFO syndrome (along with Communion, by Whitley Strieber). Ever since that event and reading these books, I've been kind of studious in these fields and think there's a wealth of questions out there to be asked, and this book is probably one of the best places to start asking.

A classic UFO book that belongs in every enthusiasts library

Hopkins whose "Missing Time" caused a sensation in the UFO community and general public alike with its claim that humans were being whisked away by aliens for experimental purposes, in this follow up work focuses on the abduction experiences of a young woman and her family members. The author presents the evidence, suggests possible conventional explanation for the bizarre events, and deftly eliminates all of them in favor of the only rational one: that what is being described is exactly what happened.
