- PROJECT: ABDUCTION REPORT
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- PURPOSE: The obtaining and compilation of Abduction Cases.
- ~~~~~~~
- PERSONS/ORGANIZATIONS INVOLVED:
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Budd Hopkins, Dr. David M. Jacobs, Mutual UFO Network (MUFON).
-
- This is a message with an extraordinary request for you.
-
- In 1964 the National Investigations Committee on Aerial
- Phenomena (NICAP) issued a compendium of information about
- UFOs called "THE UFO EVIDENCE". This enormously influential
- and useful volume drew together the various aspects of
- sightings and witnesses into a systematic and powerful
- testament to the reality of UFOs. It was used to educate
- congressmen and the public alike and it helped change the
- direction of UFO research.
-
- Now we have the opportunity to proceed with a project
- that promises to be even more powerful and influential. Budd
- Hopkins and Dr. David Jacobs are project directors, in
- participation with The Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), of a major
- effort to bring together the complexity and variety of the
- abduction phenomenon. The project calls for a compilation of
- abduction cases from around the country investigated by as
- many UFO and abduction researchers as possible. It is hoped
- that new patterns will be identified, new questions can be
- asked, and new directions for research can be developed. A
- compendium of this type can provide authoritative evidence of
- the reality of the phenomenon for UFO researchers, scientists,
- members of the therapeutic community, and skeptics.
-
- Obviously this type of endeavor depends on the
- cooperation of the entire UFO research community. Without
- your help it cannot be done. The time has come now to work
- together in a cooperative effort for the good of UFO research.
- It is only together that we can make substantial headway into
- deciphering the mysteries of this most important phenomenon.
- Both Budd Hopkins and Dr. David Jacobs will be contributing
- their cases and I hope that you will want to make your own
- contribution so that you can be part of this historic
- undertaking.
- Additionally, those of you who have had an abduction
- experience, or are aware of any person or persons who have had
- an abduction experience, are requested to also become involved
- in this endeavor. Any information you deem to remain
- confidential will remain so, as you will be dealing with
- persons of very high professionalism and credibility.
-
- Here is a short biography of the principles involved with
- this project:
-
- Budd Hopkins - Began researching abduction cases in 1975, is
- the author of a number of books, research papers and articles,
- among which are "Missing Time", "Intruders", and his newest
- book "A Crack In The Universe - The Psychological Impact of

- on the staff of The Mutual UFO Network (MUFON)

-
- SUBMITTING ABDUCTION REPORTS:
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The following information is broken down into two
- sections:
-
- 1. Researchers/Investigators who have been involved in the
- research of abduction cases.
-
- 2. Individuals who have had an abduction experience, or are
- aware of someone who has.
-
- A. Researchers/Investigators - The cases should be as complete
- as possible. Short fragments are acceptable, but would prefer
- comprehensive cases. "Multiple" cases, in which abductees see
- others abducted, nonabductees see others abducted, or two or
- more people are abducted at once, are important for inclusion.
-
- Documentation should accompany reports. Names (or pseudonyms)
- along with the age, sex, and pertinent information about the
- abductee, e.g., physical infirmities, ethnic background, etc,
- should be sent. Include the time, place, and date of the
- abduction. All names and addresses will be confidential. It
- is also important to send supporting material like how the
- abductee first suspected that he/she was involved with the
- abduction phenomenon, where the abductee went for
- investigation, and so on.
-
- If possible, please send a transcript of the hypnotic
- regression, and/or non-hypnotically recalled interview. If it
- is not possible to provide a transcript, copies of audio and
- video tapes will be accepted. If a taped account is used,
- transcripts will be made by us and given to the investigator
- at the project's conclusion.
-
- Please include your name, address, and phone number along with
- information about your years of investigative experience and
- any other biographical data that you deem appropriate. If
- your cases are used, you will be asked to sign a release
- allowing us to publish them.
-
- Either Budd Hopkins or Dr. David Jacobs will be happy to
- provide their professional opinion about the methodology
- employed in your case, if you so desire.
-
- Please send your cases either to:
-
- Budd Hopkins David Jacobs
- 246 W. 16th Street - or - 607 E. Gravers Lane
- New York, NY 10011 Wyndmoor, PA 19118
-
- We are looking forward to working with you on this most
- important project.
