Editorial Reviews
From the Inside Flap
mes to a tender regard for Hopkins's subjects. Their uniform similarities of description of their UFO abductions and of the aliens bear a faithful fact that could sway many an ironclad skeptic."<br>THE KIRKUS REVIEWS<br>There have been tens of thousands of verified UFO sightings and landings. But it is the actual temporary abductions that are the most controversial and dramatic stories behind this phenomenon. In the summer of 1983, Kathie Davis was floated out of her room in rural Indianapolis, while she slept, then subjected to a physical examination inside a UFO. The story she told the world afterwards, and corroborated by specialists and hundreds of other victims all over the country, is not to be missed or dismissed lightly.

This book was so good I read it twice, and I hardly ever read a book more than once. This book is so great it has to be real, you just can't make up this kind of stuff. I am 65 years old and I saw a UFO when I was 20 years old. I know Aliens are real, and it's mentioned in the Bible under Ezekiel's Wheel.

Artist, author, and ufologist, Budd Hopkins passed away in 2011, long before I decided to seek out another of his books (Missing Time) that had a powerful effect on me several years ago. Unable to locate a copy, I decided to order Intruders, used. I’ve since also read Witnessed, and all three are must-reads for anyone interested in the phenomena surrounding visitors.

This is an incredible book that tries to report incredible facts in a very detached and scientific way. I have seen this book at a friends home many years ago, but could not read it due to me not knowing English at that time. Even being a very old book, its content is very current and objective, as I do believe that those encounters reported on the book are still happening.

A new paradigm revealed by the greatest investigator in the field
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 23, 2010Verified Purchase
Following the publication of "Missing Time" in 1982 Budd Hopkins received many hundreds of letters from people disturbed by reading the accounts described in that landmark book. The letter writers were from all over the world and many exhibited a deep anxiety disproportionate to any apparent cause: a partial memory of strangeness accompanied by an episode of "missing time," or just something odd and half-remembered happening to them.
The floodgates were opened. Budd gradually came to recognise the most telling pointers to genuine abduction experiences. The writer would frequently exhibit anxiety, almost apologetic, using phrases like "I know you are a busy man and I really hope I am not wasting your time" ..."there's probably nothing to it, but..." invariably insistent that anonymity be maintained and fearful of confiding even in close family members details of the half-remembered trauma.
One such letter was from Debbie Jordan, a young divorced mother of two small boys living in a large family house with her parents in Indiana. Together with her letter were photographs of a large circular burned patch of ground in their garden where the soil had been baked hard, discovered the morning following mysterious lights accompanied by an episode of missing time and her dog behaving in an uncharacteristically frightened manner. Debbie is disguised in the book as "Kathy Davis" and the Indianapolis location as "Copley Woods." So began a landmark two-and-a-half year investigation which took the study and understanding of the UFO abduction phenomenon into new and hitherto uncharted areas and led to the publication of this most profound, highly readable and truly classic book which deservedly became a New York Times best seller.
This investigation evolved into a complex case with some twenty different people closely involved in or witness to a long series of events spanning decades. Simultaneously Budd had been approached by many other abductees from other parts of the country whose experiences were found to confirm and reinforce many of the new revelations being uncovered in the Copley Woods case.
The story as it unfolds is a step-by-step lesson in how to approach a superficially outlandish and extraordinary subject by the application of rigorous scientific method and to follow the evidence where it leads. It is a more complete narrative than "Missing Time'" and takes our understanding of this most improbable phenomenon much deeper. You'll need to read the book to find out why and how. The subject matter is possibly the most profound you'll ever read, but stretches credulity beyond the comfort zone. The revelation of all the evidence and the conclusions drawn had profound effects on the entire field of study of the extraterrestrial issue and its subsequent direction, and brought many new researchers into the field.
Hopkins is revealed as genuinely humanitarian and warm: the reader sympathises with and cares about these people. He again proves to be as superb a writer as he is an investigator: the book is engrossing, intelligent and mind-expanding; the author never allows personal opinion or prejudice to intervene, but rather follows the facts to tentative and quite disturbing conclusions.
The main subject of the book, "Kathy Davis" decided following publication to "come out," revealed her true identity and eventually co-wrote (with her sister, also involved in the phenomenon as is so often the case) her own book on the history of the case whilst retaining a life-long friendship with Budd.
If you have read either "Missing Time" or Professor David Jacobs' "Secret Life" and are intrigued to investigate the extraordinary alien abduction phenomenon more deeply, read "Intruders" next. Paperback reader copies are cheap and plentiful but a good original hardcover copy is best for your collection if you have shelf space.
The book was also re-scripted into a most excellent feature film of the same title, starring Richard Crenna (who actually plays an amalgam character of Hopkins and John Mack), Steven Berkoff and Mare Winningham. The "Intruders" film is not a literal transcript of the book's narrative but a re-written screenplay exploring the main themes and with some changes to the characters (who nevertheless remain largely recognisable) to better fit the needs of a 120-minute film.
Five stars again, Mr. Hopkins.
