February 7, 1999: Alien Abductions - Budd Hopkins
Published 1 year, 10 months ago
Description
Art Bell sits down with renowned abduction researcher Budd Hopkins, author of Intruders, Missing Time, and Witnessed, for a wide-ranging discussion on the alien abduction phenomenon. The program opens with Linda Moulton Howe reporting on mysterious livestock deaths in Ash Fork, Arizona, coral reef die-offs in the Florida Keys, and unexplained bird deaths in Louisiana before Hopkins takes the microphone.
Hopkins draws on over two decades of research and more than 650 individual cases to outline what he believes is a systematic genetic breeding program conducted by non-human intelligences. He describes the mechanics of screen memories, where abductees recall seeing owls, car accidents, or other false images implanted to mask the true experience. He shares striking cases of apparent invisibility during abductions, including a woman whose presence failed to trigger electric eye sensors at an airport.
The conversation turns to the NOVA documentary that Hopkins says suppressed all conscious recollection evidence and physical traces while claiming there was no proof. He and Art also discuss government knowledge, the motives of the visitors, and the growing media interest in the subject.
