Intruders by Budd Hopkins.  In 1983, in an ordinary rural area outside of Indianapolis, Kathie Davis was floated out of her room as she slept and then subjected to a physical examination aboard a UFO. Kathie recalled, under hypnosis, details of what followed the examination: a profound confrontation that was simultaneously as human and unearthly as one can conceive.

"One comes to a tender regard for Hopkins's subjects. Their uniform similarities of description of their UFO abductions and of the aliens bear a faithful fact that could sway many an ironclad skeptic."  There have been tens of thousands of verified UFO sightings and landings. But it is the actual temporary abductions that are the most controversial and dramatic stories behind this phenomenon. Kathie Davis was floated out of her room in rural Indianapolis, while she slept, then subjected to a physical examination inside a UFO. The story she told the world afterwards, and corroborated by specialists and hundreds of other victims all over the country, is not to be missed or dismissed lightly.

Hopkins claims that abductees have missing time, that UFO aliens had inserted implant devices in several children. Here, after researching 125 supposed abductions, he reports on ``the apparent interbreeding of an alien species with our own.'' During hypnotic sessions, men have told of being raped by alien females and women have related experiences interpreted by Hopkins as ova-retrieval and artificial insemination. Hopkins's disarming manner as he leads the reader through the steps of his research adds credibility to the science-fictional aspects of this account. This is an exciting book.
