Artist, pioneer of abduction phenomena research.
Budd Hopkins was an American artist and pioneering UFO researcher, particularly known for his work on abduction phenomena. Hopkins conducted numerous interviews and investigations of individuals who claimed to have been abducted by extraterrestrials, helping to popularize the concept through his books such as “Missing Time” (1981) and “Intruders” (1987). He founded the Intruders Foundation, dedicated to research into abduction experiences.
