Budd Hopkins - MUFON-LA (3 of 3)

Budd Hopkins is a world-renowned artist, but MUFON audiences probably know him best as a pioneer abduction researcher and ufologys most visible figure. Having investigated well over 700 cases, he now heads the Intruders Foundation, a nonprofit, scientific research and support organization. Hopkins three books, Missing Time (1981), Intruders (1987), and Witnessed (1996) are widely regarded as the most influential publications on the abduction phenomenon. (Intruders was not only a New York Times bestseller, but also the basis for a 1992 CBS miniseries.) His latest book, Sight Unseen, is quickly gaining similar acclaim.

Hopkins' goal has always been to bring an objective, dispassionate scientific intelligence to bear on the UFO abduction phenomenon. Virtually from the beginning of the modern era of UFO close encounters and abductions, experiencers have reported a range of dramatic and perplexing physical after-effects. Hopkins asserts that though investigators have carefully documented the emotional and psychological effects of such traumatic experiences, a more thorough-going study of the patterns of medical anomalies is greatly needed. Hopkins will present a number of such cases from his own files, using slides that graphically illustrate some of these distinct types. He will offer some speculation by physicians and other medical experts as to their possible causes. According to Hopkins, a number of these anomalous after-effects involve the reproductive organs. He reports, In two cases, female abductees were found to have one missing ovary, with no apparent scar tissue to show how it was removed.

Despite its controversial nature, Hopkins' research has received serious commentary in such mainstream publications as Time, The Washington Post, and The New York Times. He has been a guest on hundreds of television and radio programs including Nightline, Good Morning America , The Today Show, and Oprah Winfrey.

Brave man, unlike our chickenshit "SCIENTISTS"!

@McMearty actually hypnosis is just a deep state of relaxation when one is more open than usual. It doesn't envoke false memories, but is not said to be extremely accurate. The "hypnotist" has no control over you - you just feel more open to discuss things.

Whenever I see these rendering of the greys I think about how the Bible refers to satan and a serpent.. I mean do thy not resemble a snake head? Bud's right when u investigate you have to look for what is there and what is NOT there to get more dimension to what is going on. interesting..

[carlindelco]

@McMearty Hmm ok and millions of people are having the exact same "false" memories? I think you are experiencing a false reality..

[zezt]

@zezt 2===you dont only use critical thinking but also intuition, and sensing how genuine the people are who report these events. You have to trust yourself looking into this. better that then adopting a hard boiled cynical barrier to even looking at this phenomena. To me that is not being scientific.

So its important to understand if you are protecting a worldview through fear that stops you investigating.

HOW would you FEEL IF say that Schoolchildren report is true. Direct answer please.

[zezt]

@McMearty Look---I get you. I am wary of channelers and all that also. We do have to be careful. Cults etc can be very dangerous, so you have to have your wits about you. HOWEVER, when you make the effort to respectfully open up to LOOKING at what has and is being reported you will find patterns---you will find multiple witnesses, and also landing evidence that verify something unexplainable happened.

I RESPECT someone(s) who tell me they had a weird experience--I dont try and explain it away

[zezt]

@McMearty go and read it and watch the video yourself. Do you think i NEED to convince you? I dont care what you believe. Have initiative and search in Youtube search box 'UFO South African schoolchildren and see what you may find' and do same at Google and read about it. THEN use your OWN judgement.

2 the CHILDREN dont say craft was a living organism. But when you apply effort to reading other reports etc you will come across SOME where witnesses claim that the crafts seem alive!

[McMearty]

No, zezt, I ask rational questions. If children and/or adults claimed to have witnessed a UFO land, then I would ask for proof; I wouldn't just take them at their word for it. That's not odd, that's just common sense. If those people claimed to see occupants inside the UFO, I wouldn't call the occupants anything. Those people would need to prove that they saw the occupants; otherwise it would be acting on faith to blindly just believe any claims that they made. Faith is what leads to religion.

[McMearty]

What UFOs are you talking about, zezt? You're acting as if I know what you're referring to specifically. Who said they saw aliens inside a UFO, was it the school children from South Africa? Was there anyone else that saw UFOs with alien occupants? Provide your source

Which reports stated that the craft is a living organism? Provide your source

I never said that any craft with occupants is an illusion, and I never said anyone was making it up, and I never said that I never looked at any reports

[zezt]

@McMearty You ask odd questions if I might say. If for example children or adults claim to witness UFOs that land and strange occupants step out what are you going to call them exacly...? aliens is one term, ETs another, beings--but what thy actyually are is a mystery. There are differeng views about this. Some like Valle claim they are part of the fairy realm--others have a more nuts and bolts approach--others like me try not to explain all with one mono-explanation. Ie., conclusion
