his just dropped on Netflix. Has anyone seen it?
Just started to watch it and so far it is very interesting.
They say this is the most famous and best documented alien abduction case but how come I never heard about it before![]()
The abduction took place on November 30, 1989, from the 12th floor of Cortile’s Lower Manhattan apartment building. After their car engine died, two security personnel on the road below observed her body floating from the window within a beam of light towards a UFO. One of the men had been on Mikhail Gorbachev’s security detail in 1988.Q: (L) We want to know, what kind of energy is behind Budd Hopkins?
A: Divergent.
Q: (L) Is he on the right track in his research?
A: Halfway.
Q: (T) Is the Linda Cortile case a set-up to discredit him?
A: No.
Q: (T) Everything that she says happened really happened to her?
A: In 4th density.
Q: (T) Well, all the abduction stuff was in 4D, but being pulled out of the apartment from the 17th floor or wherever it was, and being sucked up in the beam of the light, that actually happened to her?
A: In 4th density.
Q: (T) How did people in 3rd density see it?
A: Only those who were tuned in saw it.
Q: (L) Were there people there who did not see it?
A: Yes.
...
Hopkins eventually published a book on the case in 1996 called Witnessed.
Budd Hopkins first encountered this in the Linda Cortile case in the early nineties (published as Witnessed in 1996):
It was almost as if the UFO occupants allow her to be herself most of the time […] And yet it seems that whenever they need her, the aliens can throw a mental switch, as it were, transforming her into a fire-breathing environmentalist, railing at her fellow human beings […] and effortlessly speaking an alien language. […] Linda Cortile’s alien subservience was merely the first of what I now regard as a previously overlooked feature in at least some abduction cases. To date, four other people I have worked with have separately recalled being used by the UFO occupants within their ship to shepherd and control other abductees, as if they had no choice and were willingly acting as allies of their captors. […] All felt both a deep-seated anger and a sense of profound humiliation after their experiences, in which they realized their wills had somehow been overridden.
...
As Jacobs writes in UFOs and Abductions, Budd Hopkins “found that abductees were being profoundly manipulated even to the extent of aliens choosing abductee children to be friends with each other and, when they got older, sexual partners.” Hopkins first identified this phenomenon in 1991, in the Linda Cortile case. As children, Linda and Richard (one of the security/intelligence officers who witnessed her 1989 abduction) both had an “imaginary” friend of the other sex. During dreams two tall blond men would take the young Linda to meet and play with a boy she would later learn was Richard. Richard recalled the same scenarios. Each developed an infatuation/obsession with the other throughout their adolescence and into young adulthood, though they didn’t meet in real life until after the 1989 abduction. (Richard’s partner, Dan, also developed an unhealthy love obsession with Linda after the shared 1989 abduction experience and suffered a psychotic break.)
...
The Linda Cortile case also suggests a possible time travel component. Otherwise, the chances of Richard being in the right place, time, and profession to witness the abduction in the presence of multiple international leaders (presumably the intended audience) seem unlikely. Hopkins noted this unlikelihood, writing:
Richard, Linda, and the third man [the UN S.G.] were connected virtually from the beginning, having been systematically abducted together again and again from childhood on, no matter where they lived. “Poppy,” the third man […] was somehow brought together with Richard in a professional context. Despite various family and professional moves and different lifestyles, all three distantly connected individuals were reunited one night in lower Manhattan.
Linda Napolitano (AKA Cortile) and Budd Hopkins's estate are suing Netflix:I watched all 3 episodes and it left me with a bitter taste. His wife descried him, the female witness(Linda) threatens her at the end of the last episode and we end up with the impression that the whole thing is more or less a hoax.

Napolitano and Hopkins' estate filed suit on Monday against Netflix, Top Hat Productions, several people involved in the docuseries' production and the estate of Carol Rainey, Hopkins' late ex-wife who is featured in the documentary.
The Netflix docuseries seems to include several participants, including Rainey, who push back on Napolitano’s claims she was abducted, and one unnamed participant is quoted in the trailer as saying she was "pulling the wool over Budd's eyes” during the book-writing process.
The complaint alleges Netflix allowed Rainey to play a prominent part in the docuseries as an expert "skeptic" in the field when she was instead allegedly an "embittered, alcoholic ex-wife hell bent on revenge against her husband" who cast both Hopkins and Napolitano in a negative light.
Napolitano said she agreed to have her story portrayed by Netflix after she was promised only one interview with Rainey would be used and that the "true story of her abduction would finally be presented,” but was instead blindsided by a screening of the series in September.
Napolitano claims the show sets her up as "a villain for purposes of controversy and conflict," defames her persona and character and that "The Manhattan Alien Abduction” will "destroy her reputation as an honest and decent person.”
Netflix had not responded to the lawsuit in court as of Tuesday afternoon and did not immediately respond to Forbes’ request for comment.
(L) Alright, now, reading about the Linda Cortile case, the woman supposedly abducted out of a high-rise apartment building; rumored to have taken place in the sight of Javier Perez de Cuellar and his bodyguards and driver. (TF) The U.N. guy. (L) Was the man who witnessed this really Javier?
A: Yes, but not only one.
Q: (L) So, there were others? Okay, of the two people who were supposed to be the bodyguards of the "VIP," one of them exhibited some extremely bizarre behavior after this event. What was the cause of this bizarre behavior? Was it him trying to freak-out Linda Cortile, or was he simply freaked out himself?
A: Simple shock.
Q: (L) So, he was having a hard time dealing with it himself. During the discussion of this case, it seems that this particular incident really involved a mass abduction because a number of women in the neighborhood have subsequently claimed that they not only were abducted at the same time on the same night, but that during the course of time that they were being taken to this craft, they saw other women walking out on the street together. Was this, in fact, a mass abduction?
A: Some was hysteria.
Q: (L) Do mass abductions ever occur?
A: Open.
Q: (L) Did Linda Cortile make up any of this story.
A: Open.
Q: (L) I have a question. I had a thought the other night after I read Dolan's book. He was talking about this government technology for mind control and so forth, and how the government or the military was trying to cover up the alien presence and interactions, what they were really up to and what they were really doing, and I came to this idea after reading all of these cases.
What is evident is that there were apparently abductions and landings and contact stories from very early on in the so-called UFO phenomenon. What I thought about was the fact that Bud Hopkins and Whitley Strieber promoted in their books, mostly Whitley, the image of the gray alien as the standard American abductor. After the publication of these books all American abductions seemed to follow the pattern of the gray alien abduction. However, it is primarily an American phenomenon. Most other places in the world don't have little gray aliens with bug eyes. So, what I want to know is this: is the gray alien abduction scenario: a.) A screen memory b.) a creation of the American military mass mind programming project in order to acclimate people to certain conditions, circumstances and interactions, or c.) something else or d) are they really just gray aliens abducting everybody?
A: You have stumbled upon an interesting question indeed. As we have noted previously, physical abductions are rare. Not only that, some abductions do not end with return of the victim. Now, what do you suppose you would do to cover up this fact? You might "create" a lot of abductions that end with return and "no harm done."
Q: (L) That wasn't one of my answer selections! Does this mean that the abductions reported by the people that Bud Hopkins worked with followed by Whitley Strieber were staged?
A: Close enough for horseshoes.
Q: (L) Okay, what would get us closer.
A: How about several varieties of experiences including government experiments. Did you ever notice how some cases exhibit extreme trauma and some do not? Same general story, but one is related with deeper sensation of reality, and another is not. Why do you think so many "abductees" are able to accommodate the experience, while some result in ruined lives?
"Earth will temporarily gain a second "mini-moon" when asteroid 2024 PT5, discovered in August 2024, enters its orbit starting September 29, 2024, and will continue to orbit for about two months before resuming its independent path around the Sun. This event showcases a natural phenomenon where Earth's gravity captures small asteroids, making them temporary satellites."
If an asteroid is "captured" by Earth's gravity, how, does it then escape that gravity to resume it journey towards the Sun?
A recent interview from Luis Elizondo which can be linked with what already said David Grush
Dark Journalist is sometimes interesting, but strikes me as way too paranoid for his own good.The Dark Journalist (Daniel Liszt) says that Luis Elizondo still works for the government (CIA cointelpro) and has been caught in quite a few lies. That he is not a real whistleblower, but part of an operation with specific objectives.
Apparently it is about creating a certain threat narrative regarding UFOs for whatever reason, maybe as the first steps of a potential Project Bluebeam or some kind of "inner earth advanced brothers" reveal. Daniel Liszt thinks that they want to use this "UFO threat" narrative to introduce permanent emergency powers or basically a dictatorship.

I listened to this interview and did not see anything indicative of Cointelpro. Whether or not Elizondo will be used as part of government disclosure psyops remains to be seen. As Voyageur pointed out, he very briefly commented on 'what happened on 911' where he alluded to supporting the terrorist narrative. He could be saying this because he has to, as I doubt that he sincerely believes the official story of 911. However despite that, this interview and his book make it quite clear that there are other beings and technologies that are not part of our earthly realm. We are still dealing with those who think the UAP phenomenon is still secret government activity and not a result of hyper-dimensional high strangeness.That was an excellent interview and so far one of his best ones.

Considering what we know, that does not seem unlikely.I think I know what you mean here. He tends to think the whistleblowers like Grusch are part of the disinformation of the gatekeepers to control the narrative.
He does mention his sources on Atlantis. It is mostly Cayce and Rudolph Steiner, as well as uncovering little-known aspects of Atlantis research in Central America and the Caribbean in the 19th and 20th centuries. He does seem to think that Atlantis was basically centered in the Caribbean, which I think is questionable.He also tends to kind of go off the rails, or so it seems to me, about Atlantis. I mean, unless he has a solid channel source, I don't see how you can know much of anything about that subject. Maybe he does, but if so he doesn't mention it.
I think it's just the opposite. Considering what we know, everything Grusch and Elizondo have stated about what they know meshes nicely what "what we know," i.e. what we have determined is most likely to be true. I'll change my mind if and when they change their narrative, but until that happens, that's where I stand on the issue.Considering what we know, that does not seem unlikely.
