Budd Hopkins

A New York painter and sculptor, Hopkins became a major figure in missing-time and abduction investigations. His work connected several of the field’s best-known accounts.

How to read the work

Hopkins helped make detailed interviews and missing-time narratives central to abduction research. His artistic biography and his investigative claims should be read separately. The State Department’s artist profile documents his art career; it is not a government endorsement of abduction claims.
