Budd Hopkins on Alien Abductions and other Topics

Exclusive Open Minds interview with Budd Hopkins by Maurizio Baita from Italy.

Budd Hopkins, a distinguished Abstract Expressionist artist who — after what he described as a chance sighting of something flat, silver, airborne and unfathomable — became the father of the alien-abduction movement, died on Sunday at his home in Manhattan. He was 80. The cause was complications of cancer, his daughter, Grace Hopkins-Lisle, said.
