Abductions

Of course I believe in abductions. But every once in a while I come across a story that plants a few seeds of doubt....

"Hopkins' gnosis, that human beings are the helpless playthings of omnipotent, but curiously inept, aliens who can abduct people through solid walls into invisible spaceships, but cannot put the right clothes back on abductees, offers no such solace."

More of the story here

There's more.
For Hopkins' egomania and refusal to release evidence to others, see _The Abduction Enigma_ by Randle, Estes and Cone.
For Hopkins' unethical use of hypnotism, see _Close Encounters of the Fourth Kind: A Reporter's Notebook on Alien Abduction, UFOs, and the Conference at M.I.T._ by C.D.B. Bryan. The reporter sat in on some of Hopkins' hypnotic sessions, including one where the subject related being raped by her father as a child, but Hopkins told her, no, it wasn't your father -- it was aliens!
