The latest excerpt from Carol Rainey's in-progress documentary about Budd Hopkins and his abduction research methods, has now been posted online. In her introduction to the clip Rainey says:
This segment shows Budd Hopkins revealing, for the first time, strikingly similar symbols that numerous abductees have reported seeing aboard alien spacecraft. But in the process of shooting the claims made by the world's best-known abduction researcher, the filmmaker begins to question Hopkins' confident assertions.
In this ongoing series, producer/director Carol Rainey looks at how the collection of "alien" symbols came into being and asks whether faulty research methods may have invalidated the use of these abductee drawings as evidence for the phenomenon

Particularly revealing in this excerpt is Hopkins' on-camera admission "I'm stacking the deck here", when Carol Rainey asks to see some of the documentation that he is hastily rushing through.
And don't you just love that cat?
Lots of folks stack decks. Decks were stacked when "Weapons of Mass Destruction" were bandied about as a pretext to invade Iraq. Did they find any? No. Decks are now stacked when they say "We are in Libya to protect unarmed demonstrators" "We are in the Middle East to spread freedom and democracy". Finding a "deck stacker" in the UFO investigation process shouldn't be too unusual and would be solidly unscientific if a deck stacker was used to discredit the whole of the UFO investigation process itself. Thanks.
