From the _Skeptics UFO Newsletter_, Nov. 1997:
Hopkins Claims Ets Have Amazing Power of "Selective
Invisibility"
     During Budd Hopkins' lecture on July 4 at the Roswell
50th anniversary celebration, he explained why he and David
Jacobs are convinced that ETs have the miraculous power to
make themselves, their craft, and even "abductees" invisible
to some people but visible to others, i.e., "selective
invisibility." Hopkins says he has "many, many cases" where
people (claim) they were beamed up to a hovering UFO in
large cities, such as New York, Paris, Rome and London,
where there should be many witnesses. "There is no way that
these things could happen and there not be witnesses seeing
people floating up beams of light and seeing spacecraft,"
Hopkins said. "We have many cases where people seem to be
abducted in a crowded place with other people around." This
lack of confirming witnesses should prompt Hopkins to
question the veracity of the abduction claims. Instead, the
absence of witnesses convinces Hopkins and Jacobs that ETs
must have the power of "selective invsibility."
