Missing Time

Budd Hopkins

Ballantine Books, NY. 1988. Seven printing trade paperback. Some chipping to spine and front cover; creasing along spine as well. Uniform yellowing. A very good copy.

From the publisher:

"The arrival of extraterrestrial visitors is one of the most momentous events of our time. In Intruders Budd Hopkins explored the shocking truth about the contact between earthling and alien: that human beings are temporarily abducted and taken aboard UFOs. But Hopkins could not have told the stories of those victims without first having discovered the one experience common to all who report alien encounters -- the phenomenon known as "missing time."

Missing time tells how the people who have experienced abductions retained no memory of them -- all traces of the trauma were effectively erased from their memory. Yet, under hypnosis, many abductees were able to recall in vivid, convincing detail, the harrowing experiments that left mysterious scars on their bodies, the eerie interiors of UFOs where they were held captive, and the astonishing faces of their alien hosts."

Frightening stuff from the GOAT Budd Hopkins. Amazing chapter titles, for example "Cape Cod Genesis" (easily a top tier Vatican Shadow track name) or "The Alsatian Deer". Very freaky and disturbing look at what aliens are really up to. Important in the grand arc of UFO scholarship. Highly recommended.
