Missing Time
Budd Hopkins
‎ Ballantine Books 
<span>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. The stories of seven victims
 of these otherworldly intruders are told her -- in detail at once 
dispassionate and dramatic, fully supported by scientific documentation.
 They are stories that could belong to anyone: your neighbors, your 
loved ones, even you.</span>
