Budd Hopkins, a renowned artist and writer, first reported his UFO abduction experiences in the 1970s. He claimed to have been taken by aliens on multiple occasions, with the first encounter occurring in 1975. Hopkins described being taken on board a UFO, where he was subjected to various medical experiments and communicated with the aliens. His experiences were marked by a sense of fear, confusion, and disorientation.

If you download the PDF of Intruders , you are not getting a sensationalist tabloid read. You are getting the Rosetta Stone of modern abduction lore: the book that solidified the "grey alien," the examination table, the genetic harvesting, and the unsettling passivity of the experiencer.

Budd Hopkins' 1987 book, Intruders: The Incredible Visitations at Copley Woods , is a foundational UFO text that popularized the "interbreeding" hypothesis and the concept of human-alien hybrids. It documents the case of Kathie Davis, detailing intergenerational abductions and using hypnotic regression to explore reported medical procedures.

But also, allow yourself to be disturbed. Regardless of whether you believe the "aliens" are real, interdimensional, or psychological, Intruders captures the zeitgeist of the 1980s Cold War fear—the terror of losing autonomy, of being invaded not from the sea, but from the stars. It remains the single most influential text on alien abduction ever written.
