Sight Unseen: Science, UFO Invisibility and Transgenic Beings
The New York Times bestselling author of Witnessed, Intruders, and Missing Time — three groundbreaking books on the UFO phenomenon — returns with astonishing evidence that other-worldly beings are a very real — and growing — part of our lives. In Sight Unseen, Budd Hopkins and coauthor Carol Rainey show how fascinating discoveries in modern science support the plausibility of the UFO phenomenon. Featuring sixteen never-before-published cases, Sight Unseen probes two newly uncovered patterns in alien abduction: cases of UFO “invisibility” and reports of genetically altered alien beings who interact with humans during their routine lives. The “invisibility” accounts detailed by Hopkins include numerous daylight abductions in densely populated urban areas — all apparently unseen and accomplished through a technology of invisibility. Two air force non-coms are snatched from the tarmac of a busy military airfield. An Australian family is levitated up into a hovering craft while the father remains paralyzed on the ground with a camera to his eye. The resulting evidence on film is discussed in terms of our own scientific advances. In the second series of cases, abductees report encounters with beings who appear human but apparently possess paranormal powers and stunted emotional ranges.Three young women, unknown to each other, are mysteriously summoned to “job interviews.” In ordinary office settings, they encounter human-looking beings who lead them into baffling UFO abduction experiences. A Wisconsin farmer meets “Damoe,” a man with odd behavior who closely resembles his son. Damoe eventually reveals himself as an accomplice of UFO occupants in a startling abduction of the farmer and his wife. Five-year-old Jen is abducted at night to a nearby playground. There she must teach the techniques and skills of “play” to twelve seemingly identical, quasi-human children.
 

Customer Review: This Book Won Me Over
I’ve had a fascination with the concept of UFO’s and related subject matter for much of my adult life. I’d come to the conclusion that people’s overwhelming need for attention should be factored into the final analysis of many ostensible sightings and close encounters. Also, despite 50 years worth of tantalizing testimony and circumstantial evidence, “proof” remains elusive. Therefore, I began this book with a jaundiced eye, ready to chalk it up to mere new-age prattle, and I came away from it somewhat convinced. This book is well written and the “testimony,” of people under hypnosis seems credible. Either Budd Hopkins and his wife are masters of deception or we need to seriously consider that a phenomena exists which is both terrifying and mysterious. By the way, I found this book in the New Age section of my local bookstore. It’s a shame that well-written books such as this, which are no less scientific in their approach than more mainstream titles, need to be relegated to the “fringe” section. For science to be effective it has to be all-inclusive not the province of haughty purveyors of reason. In many respects, “science,” is always the last to know.
 

Customer Review: An Amazing and Startling Read
Sight Unseen presents some of the most fascinating information on the UFO phenomenon to date. This book is well-written and well-researched, and it offers several plausible theories with a genuine and passionate desire to uncover the truth. Not only do Hopkins and Rainey make good use of abductee testimony, but they also combine what the experiencers have seen, felt, and heard with real life scientific data. Simply remarkable. As I read this study of UFOs and their passengers, I couldn’t help but to ask myself why such wonderfully advanced creatures would traverse tremendous distances just to examine human beings. Why would they bother involving themselves with us when there are much more delightful and complex things in this universe? I suppose it does make sense after all, however. We, as humans, are the highest form of life on Earth and yet we expend vast resources to understand lower forms of life. And I believe all of us at one time or another have dreamed about encountering life from other worlds, even if it was mere bacteria. We are astounded by this amazing engine, this stunningly beautiful gift that is life. Who would not choose to reach out for it? I believe the authors of this book did a superb job of expressing this confusing, contradictory subject. Although I remain skeptical of witness testimony and hypnotic regression, I certainly do admit that some convincing arguments are made here. Definitely, definitely worth a read if you can keep your mind open.
