Missing Time: A Documented Study of UFO Abductions by Budd Hopkins (1981) Hardcover

by Budd Hopkins

Originally published in 1981, this pioneering work by Budd Hopkins was the first focused study of an enigma that would come to captivate the world and challenge our understanding of the universe. The influence of Missing Time was such that its title is now deeply embedded into the lexicon of UFO studies-synonymous with that most controversial and troubling of alien abduction.At the time of its writing, Hopkins could not have predicted the impact of Missing Time , not only within UFOlogy, but in popular culture worldwide. The facts, stories, and theories presented herein laid the foundation for the first mainstream debates surrounding reports of human encounters with small, grey-skinned entities-non-human beings with hypnotic black eyes who came silently in the night for their own mysterious purposes. These vivid descriptions as documented by Hopkins would trigger buried memories worldwide in people from all walks of life-to the extent that the so-called "Greys" now represent the dominant cultural imagining of an alien lifeform.Missing Time is a comparative study of individuals distinct from one another in their life circumstances, separated by geography, but connected by their shared experience of a disturbing mystery with profound implications. An essential addition to the library of any serious scholar of the anomalous, and of all who dare to explore the physical, psychological, and spiritual extremities of human experience.

One of the earliest books of it's time regarding alien abduction and missing time.

'Missing Time' contains descriptions by various clients who have been hypnotised and are therefore explaining the experiences they had during abduction, it's a very interesting read and one of the best I've read on this subject that I've an interest in.

The author has put this together very well, in an easily digestible way, he's definitely researched the subject well and goes into as much detail as possible; covering the subject very well.

This is an excellent book worth reading if you're interested in aliens at all. I'll be giving his other book 'Intruders' a read very soon.

(if you have any possible, plausible explanation for the 19th December 2018 sightings don't shy away; just say it...)

""[Steven Kilburn under hypnosis] I didn't look at my watch. There's a clock on top of my mother's refrigerator. And it's...seven after five"
The trip was supposed to have taken less than an hour."
in "Missing Time"

As usual, seven well-told stories, by Budd Hopkins; in a sincere way. Seven abduction stories which have a common denominator: the time that's missing.

After 50 years of research, sincere Hopkins could not tell if the UFO experience is truly genuine, nor if just a delusion.

This was...okay. I liked his follow up book, "Intruders", better. This is more like Mr. Hopkins building his initial hypothesis to built upon later.

He barely touches upon the abduction experience of the case studies he presents. It's more page upon page upon page upon page of how these are totally normal people, and hypnosis is a totally legitimate form of investigation, seriously, for realsies, but like really reals, c'mon guys, you gotta believe me...why would these people lie. I mean, when you read the transcripts you'll see that I ask really, obviously leading questions, and fill in words that these people otherwise couldn't think of, so I'm totally filling in their gaps with what I already expect them to say...but, it's totally authentically real...for reals. I mean, this one person is a doctor, oh, and this cop and this journalist completely and totally agree with me and we know that cops and journalists never lie...they are completely above reproach and are the absolute best at investigating stuff and never draw the wrong conclusions. I'm sorry but the modern media and what we know of the police shoots this right in the foot about a dozen times...and then a dozen more.

Also, I'm sorry, but Mr. Hopkins comes across as an artist who found a new hobby. If he really, really wanted to be legitimate in my eyes, he should pursue this newfound interest in psychotherapy by actually going back to school and learning as much as he could about it, earn a degree or two, do some in-depth research, write a few peer-reviewed journals, and then come back at this.

Also, also, let's not get started on the unreliability of eye-witness testimony or all of the research on sleep paralysis...or, probably most importantly, how memory regression and repression is probably, maybe, kind of, not really a thing...and/or how easily things can be altered and changed in the mind with just a word or two...like, if all of these events sound like medical procedures, it's probably likely that they actually were...by doctors, in hospitals, and the "abductee" possibly woke up a bit during the operation before going back under...and now is misremembering. Tell me that a "Grey" and a doctor wearing a cap, a facemask, scrubs, etc., don't have a very close resemblance...especially to a groggy, drugged-up, disoriented mind...

Missing Time is arguably the most important book on alien abductions ever written. While other accounts such as The Interrupted Journey (detailing the 1961 abduction of Betty and Barney Hill) and Raymond Fowler's The Andreasson Affair had previously been published, this book, published in 1981, was the first to look for patterns and consistencies across a spectrum of different abductee reports. While Missing Time now seems almost quaint and reserved in its observations and conclusions, it was incredibly bold for its time. Budd Hopkins is truly one of the preeminent men in the field of UFOlogy today, and his earnest attempts at objectivity and scientific problem solving have long provided a blueprint for serious investigators working to discover the truth about the almost unbelievable phenomenon of alien abduction. As one might naturally wonder how a very successful artist came to be an authority on a subject of this sort, Hopkins begins by giving you the background of his life and the sequence of events which led to his becoming a leading researcher in the field of alien abduction. Having established his own credentials of a sort, he then proceeds to describe seven abduction stories that he has investigated, augmenting the narrative with small bits of information from cases still under study at the time of writing. Comparing and contrasting these individual accounts, Hopkins draws several reasonable conclusions and then wraps the book up with his own theories and ideas about the truth of this serious matter.

There are several fascinating accounts presented in these pages, with most of the imparted information originating in hypnotic regression sessions. Hopkins does a commendable job of supporting the legitimate applicability of this tool in breaking the barrier of silence often built around the minds of alien abductees. All the while, he is careful to hold off any speculation of his own until the concluding chapter. The seven accounts detailed in this book are something of an uneven bunch. Several individuals essentially relived their abductions, communicating their complex emotions and observations along each step of the way. One wove in and out between reporting the details of her childhood experiences and analyzing them from her now adult station in life. One in particular was, I believe, a terrible witness who somewhat blunts the force of this book; this individual proved exasperating in what he would and would not describe, paused interminably over and over again during his sessions, and kept reporting the ideas that came to his mind as if they were imaginative guesses as much as actual memories. Hopkins does do a good job of bringing out consistencies among these sometimes disparate accounts, and it is that identified consistency that convinced Hopkins of the reality of a phenomenon many individuals dismiss out of hand.

The reader of today may be struck by the differences between these accounts and more modern abductee revelations. One of Hopkins' earliest theories was that individuals were lured to a certain place or found themselves suddenly pulled to the side of the road while driving at night. None of these accounts begin with the abductee being taken out of his/her bed and floated through physical barriers. Implants are barely mentioned until the very end, yet now the prevalence of possibly physical evidence in the form of tiny implants is a matter of great importance. The possibility of alien-human hybridization projects is mentioned only briefly. One has to remember that the research featured in Missing Time was pioneer work among a rather small sample of abductees; it did more to raise questions and encourage further research into this topic than it did to answer incredibly puzzling questions. There are really two very important ideas to take away from this book: first, a period of unexplained, missing time is a common facet of the abduction experience. Much more importantly, however, is Hopkins' assertion that the scope of this phenomenon may well be larger than previously thought. The daunting implication is that untold thousands of men and women may have been abducted without ever having realized it.

The UFO classical that started my interest in UFOs and alien abduction. Budd Hopkins was the hypnotic regression pioneer in its use for recalling hidden memories and missing time. Read this during the day or you'll be afraid to open your eyes if you awaken during the night.

I didn't pee my pants in terror the way I did while reading Communion: A True Story. However, this book provides convincing testimony about alien abductions.

I particularly appreciated the way author Budd Hopkins analyzed the phenomenon. He draws parallels between alien abductions and human study of wildlife. In both cases, abductors capture, measure, tag, and then release their subjects back into the wild -- only to be recaptured and measured again at later dates.

Budd Hopkins was a successful artist, a painter. Then in 1964 he saw a UFO off Cape Cod and it changed his life. He started investigating UFO sightings and what people experienced. Some people don’t really want to relive traumatic events, but with the help of psychologist, Aphrodite Clemar, Hopkins facilitated tape-recorded hypnosis sessions of five people who he’d heard about or who had contacted him to report incidents in which the time frames didn’t add up, hence the title, Missing Time. None of them had ever met or knew each other and they were from different states, but all of them told of an experience they’d had and each story had several things in common. It’s hard to imagine it’s all coincidence or that they were all lying and told the same lie. I had read Hopkins’ book, Intruders, several years ago, so when I saw his name mentioned in the dedication of Making Contact by Alan Steinfeld, I got on one of my online libraries and found this book. I love horror and sci-fi, so I find alien abduction stories even more terrifying because I believe they’re true. I blame that belief on 1975’s TV movie, The UFO Incident. The portrayal of Betty and Barnie Hill by Estelle Parsons and James Earl Jones convinced me it had really happened. To this day, even though I’ve driven through the White Mountains several times over the years, I’ve never done it at night and never will. One thing I read in this book is that a deep-seated interest in this subject often indicates a buried UFO experience. I’ve only read nine books of abduction accounts. That’s not TOO obsessive, is it?

ONE OF THE ‘FOUNDATIONAL’ BOOKS IN THE ‘ALIEN ABDUCTION’ LITERATURE

Elliot Budd Hopkins (1931-2011) was a prominent American artist (having received a Guggenheim Fellowship, and a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts), an author, and a ufologist specializing in ‘alien abductions.’ He was a prominent figure in ‘alien abduction’ phenomena and related UFO research.

He wrote in the Introduction of this 1981 book, “The thousands of similar, enigmatic reports from across the world mean that no matter what realities may lie behind it, the UFO phenomenon exists as an undeniable fact of life. The question, then, is what we should do about the disturbing mass of material which makes up this ubiquitous phenomenon. There are two polar positions. One group, to which I am a large number of investigators, scientists, and even a few committed skeptics belong believes that the UFO phenomenon poses a tantalizing and serious problem---perhaps a profoundly revolutionary one… The other group is made up of those who, out of lack of information or mere indifference, simply ignore the phenomenon. The first group looks into the data, the other declines to. Essentially, UFO ‘belief’ is definable by whether or not one believes that the thousands of ongoing reports constitute a problem worth looking into, regardless of one’s prejudices, theories, and assumptions.” (Pg. 1-2)

He continues, “Since 1976 I have been involved… with the investigation of nineteen similar abduction cases involving thirty-seven people. These nineteen cases have yielded clear patterns, though the thirty-seven people involved form a random cross-section of professions, ages, and social backgrounds… Seven of these nineteen cases form the heart of this book. I am convinced of the integrity of each individual witness, a trust that in some instances was reinforced by the use of polygraph tests. (This expensive step is usually not considered necessary when a thorough investigation has been undertaken.) … it seems to me as if these quite similar abductions constitute some kind of systematic ‘research’ program, with the human species as subject… UFO investigators have come to rely upon regressive hypnosis as the most efficient method of unlocking the forgotten period of time---usually an hour or two---and recovering the often harrowing account of what actually happened… What the purposes of these temporary abductions are, and what part of the experience may be purely psychic, we can only guess, but that they have physical dimension seems to me beyond doubt.” (Pg. 7-8)

He goes on, “I have described UFO abductions as constituting an epidemic; in fact, we have no idea of how many such kidnappings may already have taken place, but I believe there are vastly more than the mere two hundred or so incidents which have been investigated. Why these cases remain invisible… [is partly because] Most people having such an experience… would not report it to any authority anywhere…. Such is the fear of ridicule and the confusion about where to go to report such an unlikely event!... How many cases, one wonders, would have made it thus far?” (Pg. 9)

He recounts, “The discovery which impelled me to write this book is one I believe to be of extraordinary importance. The seven cases stressed in the pages involve abductions of five different individuals. Three, who incidentally have never met, were taken as seven-year-old children, and incisions were made in their bodies, for whatever purposes we can only speculate. Two of them…were apparently abducted a second time, one at age sixteen, one a few years later. All three were born in 1943, and were abducted in the summer of 1950. None of them had, prior to hypnotic regression ANY RECALL WHATSOEVER of a UFO or humanoid encounter of any kind. How they happened to undergo hypnosis in the first place involves a complex series of unlikely events… All I can say is that I’m sure it is going on; people are being picked up, ‘examined’---sometimes marked for life---and released, their memories conveniently blocked. Beyond this, everything is speculation.” (Pg. 11-12)

He states, “A common misconception about people who report encounters with unidentified flying objects is that they ‘believe in UFOs.’ The fact is that very few witnesses have a priori beliefs. They are firm about the accuracy of their descriptions of color, shape, height, movement, etc., but they offer few explanations of what they believe the object was.” (Pg. 24-25)

He explains, “One aspect of these abduction accounts must be constantly kept in mind, and that is the dramatic similarity of the basic sequence of events. By comparing these two typical cases, one can construct a step-by-step scenario that suggests on the part of the UFO occupants a thoroughly preconceived modus operandi. The very first element is the establishment of some sort of contact of control… The next step is an OVERT seizure of control over the victim.” (Pg. 94)

An experiencer named Steven stated, “What frightens me, and what REALLY frightens me is that because I didn’t remember this before I underwent hypnosis, and now remember it, this could have happened to you. I think this has happened to a lot of people. And I don’t mean ten or twenty. I mean thousands…” (Pg. 117-118)

Hopkins says of another experiencer, “For a number of reasons, there was a delay of almost a year between his third and fourth hypnotic session. The ebbing and flowing of Philip’s hypnotic recall was a frustrating problem that bothered him more than it did Ted and me. We were also very busy with our own work, and with a number of other UFO cases, but when the investigation did continue, we were very pleased with the results… If, ten months later, a hypnotically recalled narrative confirms in both outline and specific detail what was recalled ten months previously, then we are probably dealing with an actual, historical event.” (Pg. 168)

He asks, “Why have the UFO occupants taken so many, and why, apparently, do they attempt to conceal the nature and magnitude of their operations? Basic information-gathering on the species simply cannot explain all these separate events. Two other related possibilities suggest themselves, however: either the UFO crew members are taking something besides information, or they are leaving something behind with their captives.” (Pg. 209)

He wonders, “One of the perplexing facets of the UFO abduction phenomenon is what seems to be an externally induced amnesia, forced, perhaps by post-hypnotic suggestion, upon the abductees. Several interrelated questions present themselves. How is the process accomplished? Why is it done, especially if the UFO occupants know it can in many cases be broached by our own terrestrial hypnotic techniques? And why have there been cases where it was apparently not used at all?” (Pg. 218-219)

The Afterword by Dr. Aphrodite Clamar, Ph.D., concludes, “The question persists: is the UFO experience genuine, or are those who claim to have been abducted the victims of hysteria---or their own delusions? After spending more than fifty hours with a dozen subjects under hypnosis, I still cannot answer the question… And yet… the events recounted by a variety of people from scattered places are strikingly similar, suggesting that there might be more to the whole business than mere coincidence… Are these, then, hallucinations? Are they false perceptions which have ‘a compulsive sense of the reality of objects…’ … The five subjects whose reported experiences are recounted in this book may be described as ‘normal.’ This would not rule out hallucination. It is the curious similarity of their experiences that gives me pause. But the answer to the question has not yet been devised, the key to unlock the secret not yet found. Budd Hopkins hoped that by inducing hypnosis among the five UFO abductees, I might be able to find a final answer. But what was revealed under hypnosis only deepened that mystery: new details were added, new experiences described, new questions raised.” (Pg. 237-238)

This book will be of great interest to those studying UFOs, and ‘alien abduction’ phenomena, and related matters.

The mystery becomes ever-more engrossing. Say what you will about the validity of hypnosis as a means for retrieving memories, but there are accounts in this book that are corroborated by multiple witnesses. Consider the man who saw little men march out of a UFO and take dirt samples. Numerous other people saw the same ship, at the same time, in the same place; furthermore, no hypnosis was used in the investigation. These are real people with real recollections.

These are strange days we live in. The alien abduction phenomenon is one of the greatest mysteries of our time; and, as Hopkins points out, if aliens are real, their visitations are escalating in intensity and temerity. The next thirty years may be the strangest yet.

[Erik Graff · Rating 2 out of 5]

Having read several older books about psychics such as Flournoy's From India to the Planet Mars and Jung's Psychology of So-called Occult Phenomena and about past-life recovery such as Search for Bridey Murphy, I note similarities between the extraordinary accounts of persons operating under hypnosis--similarities which cause me to be profoundly suspicious of all uncorroborated data obtained by such means. Hopkins does not share this suspicion.

[cuvtixo · Rating 1 out of 5]

Entertaining read, but one star for the glaring inconsistencies that I'm afraid most readers/reviewers overlook:
One hypnotized patient says again and again "This feels like a dream or fantasy, it doesn't feel real", and yet the hypnotizing psychiatrist, and Bud Hopkins, again and again suggest his memory is being blocked. That's close to malpractice in my opinion as a former mental health worker. When the patient says this, repeatedly, the therapeutic approach is to affirm their gut feelings. Otherwise you have patients start giving alternative answers because it's what the therapist wants to hear. They may even convince themselves fantasies they "remember" are real despite their previous doubts. There's a lot of literature about "False Memory Syndrome" and I think it's required reading before judging this book.
Then, ironically, Hopkins suggests towards the end, that Virginia's memory of being taken aboard the spaceship and shown spaceflight, and other planets, etc., is somehow less believable than previous stories. I don't find anything in her later accounts as less fabulous than what comes before. Hopkins just decides these particular memories are unreliable, perhaps because they are so detailed and intricate. Somehow an alien appearing as a talking deer is judged more credible by him. I don't get it.
Also, the hypnotic subjects (and alien abduction stories retrieve generally), are encouraged to relive these childhood episodes as children. And anyone who has spent time around children can tell you how some children bend their stories far from reality. They don't feel much obligation to be completely honest, and often even don't have a firm grasp of reality. I think many of these hypnotized subjects are "reporting" with this lack of adult filters and feel more free to make stories up in their child personas.
It's also interesting how trivial similarities between reports are always taken as confirmation of truth, but the differing details don't get the same weight at all. Nothing is dismissed on the basis of being unique, in fact unique details are presented as evidence of their accuracy!!! Bud shouldn't have it both ways. If wildly differing reports aren't evidence for doubt, than the slightest similarities shouldn't be held up as proof. A tiny bit of corroborating evidence, perhaps, but Mr. Hopkins keeps presenting the slightest similarities as proofs. One I remember, is two reports that the examining room is round. I don't see why a room in a flying saucer should be anything but round! Is that really such a leap of logic?
If this is a classic in the field, I feel I have room for a whole lot of doubt about the entire subject of UFO abductions. I don't know why it would take experience as a therapist to see just how abused and misused these testimonies are. But Hopkins gets a free pass by reviewer after reviewer. I don't forgive Mr. Hopkins because he was firstly an artists. I would think it fairly obvious artists deal in fantasies, visions and dreams, and that witness interrogation is far beyond their expertise. But I guess that's part of the point. A serious investigator shouldn't make so many amateur mistakes, of course I've yet to read John Mack's reports, although higher intelligence never replaces rigorous professional skepticism . I'm sorry, but if this book is an example to you of strong evidence for abductions, you should really re-examine your ability to tell truth from fiction.

Budd Hopkins qualitative study on abduction phenomenom through case studies was a very cool read. I like how it's written without too much speculation (altough i love to read that stuff to cause it's so powerfull in thought widening) and was focused on explaining the surroundings, time and setting for every case. It's was exiting to read the transcribed hypnotic sessions and from there get a personal experience of what was found. Budd presents coherens between the sessions in for of what rises out of the object unknown which was very cool. To me that reminded of Terence Mckennas work on similarities in experience from mind altering plants.
This book creates a cool foundation, perspective or seed for anyone interested in ufos, extraterrestial stuff, abductions and so on.
The format with each chapter being an abduction case got a little tedious towards the end but the format filled a clear purpous.

[Bardo Keith · Rating 2 out of 5]

The UFO sightings described at the beginning of the book are interesting, the abduction reports not so much. It almost seemed like he was coercing the experiences out of the subjects, a surprising number who were acquaintances of his. One of them sounded like textbook sleep paralysis, another sounded like it could have been an epileptic seizure that was painstakingly transformed into an abduction through hypnosis and badgering by Hopkins (brainwashing him essentially), and others had no reason to believe an abduction took place besides mysterious cuts or being afraid of the dark. If hypnosis were a known reliable tool for recovering memory all of that would be okay but the opposite is true and I'm not aware of any studies that show it enhances recall. There was only one abduction in the book that impressed me, the one that involved a UFO sighting up close with multiple witnesses and missing time that was documented.

[Dan Zarfati · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is a result of Budd Hopkins first research. Budd Hopkins appeared on TV doing hypnosis on subjects, and the show was so impressive and traumatic, that a lot of people did contact him claiming they had missing time experiences and wanting to have a session. The late Bud Hopkins who was an artist, an outspoken and intelligent man, gained the trust of people, and was flooded with this requests. This book is the result of so many sessions, and this book simply broke new ground, it had a methodology, it had a serious enquiry and a serious investigation, the author was capable of articulating good points, so part of the public did trust him and started to consider the reality of the phenomena. It is a really interesting book, it deserves to be bought and read.

[Joshua Hargis · Rating 2 out of 5]

In my experience thus far, Missing Time walks so Abduction by John Mack can run. This was an interesting read as it became more time capsule to the early days of hypnosis.

I went in hoping for more in depth hypnosis sessions but instead this merely scratches the surface if compared to what comes after. On its own though one must recognize the magnitude of importance this book itself was in its time and even now, still offering keyhole peeks into unique experiences.

[Robin Sperry · Rating 2 out of 5]

It's well written but the stories are so far out of the realm of what can be considered plausible that it takes away from the overall read. It seemed to me the author is either making up the individual stories or is, sadly, feeding the hallucinations of some very disturbed people.

[James · Rating 4 out of 5]

Budd Hopkins has proven himself to be one of the more respectful and engaging researchers into UFO phenomenon. He writes humanely and respectfully, careful not to put too much of his own beliefs or prejudices into the testimonies. His willingness to engage with some fantastical and perhaps fanciful stories make him to be more sceptical than some of the more committed sceptics themselves, who are closed off entirely to the possibility of UFOs

Collected here are several stories, incidents, of missing time as it relates to UFO abductions. Being Hopkins’s first book, the central thesis isn’t as strong as Intruders but it’s certainly provides thought-provoking material and for those who believe that the truth is out there, strong supporting evidence with believable and trustworthy witnesses. This is almost required reading for anyone interested in UFOs and UFO abductions and even now, almost 40 years later, the stories are still fresh, vivid, and pretty terrifying.

Este libro es muy parecido a" Communion" de Strieber, solo que aquí se narran 5 historias de secuestros obtenidas a través de la hipnosis. Todo es muy parecido: Una luz brillante; una nave, parálisis del cuerpo del abducido, llevado a la nave y la sala de operaciones, examen médico, toma de muestras, operación, implantes, amnesia y devolución del abducido cerca o en el mismo lugar donde fue tomado.
De lo confesado por los secuestrados se infiere un patrón de un estudio muy profundo y a largo plazo de un gran número de seres humanos por parte de estos abductores para conocer la estructura de la genética del hombre.
Este estudio de los abducidos es extenso y minucioso, de tal manera que hay momentos en los que se repite tanto que se desea aventar el libro a la basura.
