  Budd Hopkins - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Budd Hopkins (born on June 15, 1931 in Wheeling, West Virginia) is a central figure in abduction phenomenon and related UFO research.
Hopkins is a painter and sculptor by profession; his works have been featured in some prestigious galleries and museums.
In the 1970s, Hopkins became interested in tales of alleged alien abduction, and he eventually began using hypnosis to uncover memories of abductions which were supposedly suppressed.

 NOVA Online/Kidnapped by UFOs/Budd Hopkins' Cases
HOPKINS: When I had looked into the very first case that I investigated, which was back in 1975, having to do with a landing that was observed by a man I knew in New Jersey.
HOPKINS: I was working with a man once who was a lieutenant in the army at the time of the incident.
HOPKINS: In another case, on Long Island a woman who I've worked with, had remembered waking up, and there was a range of physical phenomena which she described.

 NOVA Online/Kidnapped by UFOs/Budd Hopkins
HOPKINS: As I was looking into a few early sighting reports, many years after I had my own sighting and I began to look into the cause, I was curious.
HOPKINS: Well, if this is true and I have at this point sadly no doubt that it is true, what that means is on the silliest level that we're not necessarily the top of the food chain.
HOPKINS: One of the most important things about these cases, as they emerge, is that they come from all around the world, even from essentially illiterate people.

Budd Hopkins is a world-renowned author and pioneer UFO abduction researcher.
Budd Hopkins: Well I think it’s a major loss, both on a personal level and for the field, because John was an extremely eloquent spokesman for the reality of the problem, or the issue -- the abduction phenomenon, the UFO phenomenon — and a man of great intelligence and an enormous personal warmth.
Budd Hopkins: A friend of mine used to say with irony that if Mother Nature, meaning the Fates, that if Mother Nature were a politician she’d never be reelected.

This incident was reported to Budd Hopkins, and is a piece of the puzzle that surrounds the ongoing sightings in New Jersey's North Hudson Park that began in 1975 with the incidents investigated by Budd Hopkins, and which continue to this day.

 The Alien Jigsaw: Mack & Hopkins Dialogue
Hopkins feels the aliens have the ability to input images into the human brain which are deceptive and are thus, further cause to postulate that the abduction experience is, on the surface, an irrational and totally illogical experience.
Hopkins explains further that whatever their agenda is, it is decisively deceptive and is not to be trusted.
Hopkins' point here was that we are yet to discover how most of humanity has been touched by this phenomenon and how they have integrated it into their lives.

 Budd Hopkins
Budd Hopkins is a much respected and well-loved figure in Ufology, and this rare appearance in Britain undoubtedly secured the sell-out Saturday audience at Leeds.
Hopkins considers that the abduction events have a negative effect psychologically on the ExperiencersÂ…that the "agenda of the aliens causes collateral damage to the humans".
Budd then visibly broke down emotionally as he described how two of the victims of the World Trade Centre destruction had jumped hand-in-hand from the top of the building, in the knowledge that the alternative way to die was surely worse.

 A Critique of Budd Hopkins' Case of the UFO Abduction of Linda Napolitano
Hopkins took an interest in the case because there was a potential for medical evidence and because Linda lived relatively close to Hopkins, which facilitated their meeting.
Hopkins did not bother to open the letter, and in November 1991, he received another one from her marked on the outside "CONFIDENTIAL, RE: BROOKLYN BRIDGE." The odd outside marking and the fact that she had written two letters, seem to have raised no suspicions in Hopkins' mind.
Hopkins, Andrus, Clark, Mack, and Jacobs seem to have accepted a system of beliefs and assumptions that have led to a collision with the "real world." They have been unable to rationally defend their behavior, and Jerome Clark's (1992a) "Torquemada" article is perhaps the single best example of that.

Linda phoned Hopkins to tell him what had happened to her earlier that morning and a meeting was arranged for 2 December during which she told him of being abducted through her window and up into a saucer where there was a table...
Hopkins claims to have confirmed this story by subjecting Linda to another dose of hypnotic regression during which (of course) she managed to remember it.
Hopkins was somewhat annoyed by this paper and he wrote a reply to it in which he devoted much space to character assassinations of the trio, with sideswipes at "such dubious personages as Philip Klass and James Moseley".

 Interview With Budd Hopkins="Witnessed"
But when Linda Cortile first reported her abduction, Hopkins conducted a thorough investigation, including a hypnosis session, and concluded that there was nothing unique about the incident among the hundreds he has studied.

Hopkins sensed he was now on the verge of a major breakthrough in providing evidence of the reality of UFO abductions.

 Blather Archives: UnConvention 97 Reviews - The story of the Brooklyn Bridge Abduction
Budd Hopkins thought it was "too crazy" until he read the book about it and then he "realized" that the only reason to not accept it was distaste.
Hopkins agrees that there are some media-driven cases but refutes this as any kind of rule by saying that in 1977 after CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND had proven so popular, there was an expected increase in abduction reports but in fact there was no increase.
Hopkins sent them slides and photos of surgical cuts etc. None were shown on the programme, in which it was announced that "there is no physical evidence." Suppressing evidence is dishonest, says Hopkins.

 The SF Site Featured Review: Witnessed: The True Story of the Brooklyn Bridge UFO Abductions
Hopkins answer is that people who don't believe have rigid belief systems and that all the people involved could never have agreed to a conspiracy, nor could Linda Cortile have hired them as actors to pull off a hoax.
Hopkins painstakingly recreates every phone conversation, letter and event leading to his discovery of what happened, including the ways he was deceived by the two security men (who initially lied about their involvement and jobs).
It isn't until the end of the book that Hopkins reveals that the purpose of the life-long abductions that Linda experienced was to make her bond (and perhaps breed) with "Richard," one of the security men, as part of the aliens' plan for genetic manipulation of the human race.

 UFO Evidence Bookstore : Missing Time - Budd Hopkins   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
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.
Here is the documented study of 19 people who were not and still are not UFO "believers"--but who all share a tiny unexplainable scar on their bodies, who share a gap of "missing time" and who under hypnosis remember the same utterly terrifying alien faces.
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.

Incidentally, it is interesting to note that many people have been critical of Budd Hopkins due to his lack of medical background.
The fear amongst many medical observers of the process of hypnotic regression is that it may be resulting in a similar condition to "false memory syndrome," where the regressionist, whether by accident or by design, leads the subject into giving answers that conform to what the regressionist expects.
Budd Hopkins is perhaps the most widely known UFO researcher to use regression as a tool for the release of abduction memories.
