Do you think aliens in ufos have visited Earth? (And all things UFO)
A
New York City mother of two whose controversial story
of being abducted by aliensfrom her downtown apartment made global headlines says Netflix portrayed her as a fabulist in an
upcoming docuseries and hopes to block it from ever being released.
Linda Napolitano, who first told her story
under the pseudonym Linda Cortile, has long claimed three gray bipedal beings extracted her during the wee hours of November 30, 1989, from her 12th-floor window on a blue beam of light, lifting her onto a reddish-orange spacecraft that quickly sped off toward the
Brooklyn Bridge.
Late artist-toss custard-UFO investigator Budd Hopkins championed Napolitano’s story in the 1997 book
Witnessed: The True Story of the Brooklyn Bridge Abduction, generating widespread interest and, naturally, some
skepticism.
Hopkins said he became further convinced Napolitano was telling the truth after he received a letter from two bodyguards who said they had been nearby protecting an unnamed “world leader” when they saw a woman floating through the night sky into an alien spacecraft.
More than 20 other witnesses claimed that they, too, witnessed Napolitano’s purported abduction.
Now, Napolitano, 77, is trying to block Netflix from releasing its take on the supposed incident,
The Manhattan Alien Abduction, set to premiere on Wednesday, claiming it presents “a tale of skepticism” and an examination of Napolitano’s “pulling the wool over [Hopkins’s] eyes,” rather than a credulous recitation of her claims, according to an eyepopping lawsuit obtained by
The Independent.
“A woman claims to have been abducted from her bedroom in Manhattan,” a
Netflix promo reads. “This docuseries explores whether it was an elaborate hoax — or proof of alien life.”………
