I am glad that the book is finally out to set the record straight. I think that the book is being released at exactly the right time because of the tremendous amount of societal interest in the subject. So, I am hoping that the book does well. I have found no evidence that the government knows about or cares about the abduction phenomenon. People vary about when they understand that something odd is happening to them.
Abductions generally begin in infancy and go through old age.
When they are young, abductions tend to be remembered more than when abductees are adults. Younger people, in general, go through less trauma because the reproductive procedures do not begin for boys untll puberty, and the sexual procedures for girls begin at the same time. Neither I nor Budd are abductees. My mother and my father were not abductees and my children are not. There is more to it than that, although the breeding program is the core of it.
