Missing Time
Budd Hopkins
‎ Ballantine Books
&lt;span&gt;The arrival of extraterrestrial visitors is one of the most <br />
momentous events of our time. In Intruders Budd Hopkins explored the <br />
shocking truth about the contact between earthling and alien: that human<br />
 beings are temporarily abducted and taken aboard UFOs. But Hopkins <br />
could not have told the stories of those victims without first having <br />
discovered the one experience common to all who report alien encounters <br />
-- the phenomenon known as &quot;missing time.&quot; Missing time tells how the <br />
people who have experienced abductions retained no memory of them -- all<br />
 traces of the trauma were effectively erased from their memory. Yet, <br />
under hypnosis, many abductees were able to recall in vivid, convincing <br />
detail, the harrowing experiments that left mysterious scars on their <br />
bodies, the eerie interiors of UFOs where they were held captive, and <br />
the astonishing faces of their alien hosts. The stories of seven victims<br />
 of these otherworldly intruders are told her -- in detail at once <br />
dispassionate and dramatic, fully supported by scientific documentation.<br />
 They are stories that could belong to anyone: your neighbors, your <br />
loved ones, even you.&lt;/span&gt;
