An Introduction to IF
Budd Hopkins
Over a decade ago Budd
Hopkins founded the Intruders Foundation as a
nonprofit organization with four basic goals:
- To provide sympathetic help, understanding and
personal investigation for those reporting UFO abduction
experiences.
- To carry out systematic research into the abduction
phenomenon through a careful study of its patterns
and resulting physical and psychological evidence.
- To mount an extensive program of public education
about the phenomenon.
- To develop a cadre of trained professionals in
various fields to carry out all of these projects.
Budd Hopkins first became interested in the UFO
phenomenon when he and two others had a daylight UFO
sighting near Truro, Massachusetts, in 1964. In 1975
he carried out his first major investigation, which
involved a UFO landing and occupant incident in North
Hudson Park, N.J. Shortly thereafter he began to concentrate
on the investigation of the UFO abduction phenomenon
which led to the eventual publication of his findings.

PROGNOSTICATIONS
All of us are used to hearing exactly when the UFOs will land, or when the world will come to an end, or when the so-called ”disclosure” will take place, or even when time will end. We’ve endured Hale-Bopp and the ship full of reptilians just behind it, the fears of Y2K chaos, and last year’s prediction by an actual Ph.D. of the government’s imminent announcement of UFO reality, none of which, of course, actually occurred. And now the fashionable worry-date is 2012, “the end of time.”
Take my word for it: don’t worry and don’t gather on the hilltops. But if you are planning to give away your earthly possessions, give them to me. See all of you in 2013, but in the meantime give a read of the quote below.

THE FOURTH KIND
A MOVIE TO AVOID
By Budd Hopkins
On Tuesday, Nov. 3, as I sat in a theater being bombarded with soundtrack noise - screams – many screams – and melodramatic, over-the-top music, I was watching the new, self-described UFO abduction film, The Fourth Kind, and wondering how the screenwriters could get so many things wrong. Ostensibly set in Nome, Alaska – which, by the way, looks ravishingly pretty in the film’s many elaborate aerial views - the plot is focused on a therapist and her clients who have apparently suffered UFO abductions, and at least one of these “abductees,” the therapist’s little daughter, seems to have been taken for good. The film moves along, more or less propelled by fake hypnosis sessions in which virtually every subject screams bloody murder.

From IF Special Report No. 7:
PAUL HELLYER and THE PHILIP CORSO PROBLEM
By Budd Hopkins
Officially, the Intruders Foundation is dedicated to the study of the UFO abduction phenomenon. Occasionally, however, the UFO field in general is roiled by dramatic new developments which threaten to affect all of us, thus requiring IF’s attention. The Paul Hellyer affair is such a development - one which many hoped might start a chain of events that could end in the unraveling of the official UFO cover-up. In the fall and winter of 2005, Paul Hellyer, a former Minister of Defense in the Canadian government, announced his belief that the UFO phenomenon is extraterrestrial in nature, and that it demonstrates the interest of intelligent, non-human beings in our planet and its population.

| JOHN MACK, UFO ABDUCTIONS AND TRANSFORMATIVE EXPERIENCES
By Budd Hopkins
(NOTE: the following special report includes an excerpt from the manuscript of an ongoing memoir, which, upon completion, I hope to publish in book form. A previous section, dealing with the late Carl Sagan, appeared in IF bulletin, Vol. 5, No.1)
In a recent posting, Will Bueche of PEER raised some questions about my views on the transformative nature of UFO abduction experiences. I present this report as a fuller explanation of my position, as well as an opportunity to add a few more personal thoughts about my friend and colleague, the late John Mack.

THE FAITH-BASED SCIENCE OF SUSAN CLANCY
By Budd Hopkins
The literate world is well aware that a controversy
about the reality of the UFO phenomenon has raged
for decades. Arrayed on one side are the enthusiasts
- the casual, the serious and the bizarre - along
with thousands of highly qualified pilot-witnesses,
high-ranking military personnel, intensely interested
scientists, and even an astronaut or two. All regard
the hundreds of thousands of global sighting reports
as a scientific problem of major significance, and
all demand that science finally conducts a thorough,
objective investigation.
