  I have to say that Budd Hopkins never actually attributed the events
in missing time to 'aliens'. Instead he attributed the events to UFO
encounters (UFO's being unidentified flying objects) after which he
related testimonies given by those who had experienced such encounters.
  My intention is not to suck Budd Hopkins dick, but to point out that
if you have read his books, he appears to have approached the subject
with an open mind. The transcripts of his regressions do not mention
'aliens' or abduction, instead they focus on asking the patient what
happened during the time period that has caused the subject distress.
  If I have read wrong, feel free to tell me so.
