Hypnotic Regression in Abduction Research: Perspectives from Strieber, Hopkins, and Bullard (1989)
To the point
Hypnotic regression in UFO abduction research is controversial, with Whitley Strieber arguing it is prone to abuse and bias, Budd Hopkins defending it when used with neutral language and noting memories can surface before hypnosis, and Dr. Thomas Bullard warning it can both enhance and distort memory, so firm conclusions require corroborating evidence, multiple witnesses, and physical data.
