- A NEW YORK ABDUCTION?
-
- Sent by Defacto
-
- On or about the evening of November 30, 1989, at approximately 3:15 AM,
- Linda (last name withheld) was asleep in her apartment on the 12th floor
- of an apartment building in New York City, together with her husband and
- two young sons. She made contact with Budd Hopkins and under hypnosis
- reported being levitated off her bed, approached by three grey aliens,
- and transported with them through her apartment wall out above the street
- and then up into a floating disk. She reported that she sensed her
- nightgown being drawn up to her face.
-
- A few weeks later, Dan (last name withheld) wrote a letter to Hopkins,
- stating that he and his partner Richard (last name withheld) had
- witnessed the event from a car parked on the street about a block away.
- He described a young woman and three small grey creatures emerging from
- the side of the building at the 12th floor in a fetal position, arms
- wrapped around their legs, head up, with one creature above the woman and
- the other two below and to each side. After emerging from the side of
- the building, their bodies extended and they were then lifted up and into
- the floating disk, which was described as having an orange glowing
- topside, with yellow illumination extending down and outward, except for
- a narrow bluish beam extending straight downward up which the four
- figures were lifted. Dan reported that after the figures entered the
- craft, it then moved over and down into the river (name withheld by
- author) and never reappeared. Dan described himself and Richard as
- "undercover policemen" who would not publicly come forward for fear of
- damaging their careers. Dan said they were both extremely upset by the
- incident, fearing for the life or safety of the young woman, and
- distressed that they had been unable to do anything to help her. Dan
- stated that he and Richard would attempt to visit the apartment from
- which Linda had been taken to see what became of her.
-
- Having no way to contact Dan or Richard, Hopkins read their letter to
- Linda, advising her that they might visit her, and asking her to ask them
- to contact him again if they did.
-
- Dan and Richard then went to Linda's apartment, and when they identified
- themselves, Linda told them Hopkins had told her to expect them. Dan and
- Richard were very relieved that Linda was seemingly okay, and Linda
- expressed mixed feelings, saying that it might have been easier to accept
- being crazy than having it be confirmed that it really happened.
-
- Dan and Richard did not agree to visit Hopkins, but Linda did get them to
- agree to send Hopkins an audiotape giving a more detailed account of the
- events of November 30, and a few days later Hopkins did receive the
- audiotape, which he played for the MUFON audience. Dan reported that
- Richard was so concerned about Linda that he had taken to observing her
- and her apartment during off hours to make sure she was okay.
-
- In the meantime, Linda developed discomfort in her right nostril and
- visited her physician, who took an Xray. A day or two later, before the
- Xray was developed and returned, Linda woke up with blood over her face
- and bedding from her right nostril. The Xray was shown to the MUFON
- audience. It clearly showed a cylindrical radio-opaque object, perhaps
- 2-4 mm in length, with a helical pointed extension off each end and to
- one side. Subsequent examination showed no object present and under
- hypnosis it came out that Linda had been visited again by aliens and the
- object removed.
-
- In the meantime, Hopkins tried to identify Dan and Richard. Then he was
- contacted by a woman who reported that she had been driving on a major
- New York bridge (name withheld by author) on the evening of November 30,
- 1989, together with a few other cars, when her vehicle stopped, together
- with all electrical activity. She then noticed an orange glow and saw a
- glowing disk floating above and to the side of an apartment building near
- the bridge. She saw a young woman and three small grey creatures emerge
- from the side of the building, from an upper floor about the level of the
- bridge, in fetal position, then extend before lifting up into the disk
- along a blue beam. She also reported that people in other stalled
- vehicles also saw the incident. After the disk left, her car's dome
- light came on again and she was able to restart her car and leave the
- area.
-
- When asked to remember the event and count off the number of seconds it
- took from the time the figures emerged from the side of the building to
- the time they unfolded, the witness estimated x seconds (number withheld
- by author).
-
- In the meantime, Dan and Richard accosted Linda on the street, asking her
- to come with them. When she refused, they took her by force to another
- location and interrogated her. They seemed particularly concerned about
- whether she could tell them whether the aliens had known about the men
- witnessing the event. They also removed her shoes and examined her feet,
- seeking confirmation that she was human, because they thought aliens had
- no toes.
-
- Under hypnosis, Linda was able to give Hopkins the license number of one
- of the vehicles used in arresting her and part of the license number of
- the other. From that and other investigation, Hopkins was able to learn
- that they are not policemen, but US government agents. The men further
- revealed to Linda that at the time of the incident, their car had been
- moving and lost power, and that they had a third party with them, a high
- public official who they were escorting, who also witnessed the incident.
- They excused their own abduction of her as a matter of "national
- security".
-
- Hopkins reported that he has been able to obtain a photograph of one of
- the two men, knows their identities and their agency, and knows the
- identity of the high public official who was with them.
-
- Hopkins further reported on some other visits to Linda and her family.
- It turned out that her youngest son had been similarly abducted from
- their apartment several months before the events of November 30, 1989.
- And during a later overnight visit by a young family friend, Linda, her
- husband, two sons, and their guest all awoke with severe nosebleeds from
- their right nostrils.
-
- One of the two men also provided a drawing, which closely resembled one
- done by the witness on the bridge, and also resembled one done by the son
- of Linda who had been abducted. One of the men also estimated that the
- duration from emergence to unfolding was about x seconds (same number
- reported by bridge witness).
-
- Hopkins then produced Linda, who further elaborated on her experiences
- and answered questions from the audience.
-
- In subsequent remarks and remarks to the author in private, Budd Hopkins
- said he hoped that more witnesses would come forward, and that the public
- official would come forward, if not in public then at least to privately
- contact him. He confirmed that he is withholding a number of details
- that he will use to verify the authenticity of any witness accounts he
- may receive.
-
- Linda appears to be in her mid-30s, slender, attractive, about 5'6", with
- long brown hair, an Italian-American Catholic whose boys go to parochial
- schools.
-
- Arch-debunker Phil Klass was very careful to get a good photograph of
- Linda.
-
- The author asked Hopkins whether he had taken precautions to make sure
- the facts come out in case anything happens to him. Hopkins is
- recovering from a recent operation, but says he is now feeling fine. He
- assured the author he has thought about the problem and that was the
- reason he decided to take the matter public at this time. He said he is
- trying to get a more complete report published in the New York _Post_, so
- readers should look for it there. If any mishap should befall Hopkins,
- or any attempt be made to silence or discredit him, readers should not
- fail to ask penetrating questions about the matter.
-
- This case is significant because there have heretofore been few cases of
- abductions witnessed by persons who were not among the abducted. Hopkins
- expressed the opinion that the event may, at least in part, have been
- staged for the benefit of the public figure who witnessed it.
-
- The feelings of some in the audience may have later been summarized by
- Shelley ..., one of the attendees, who said "God, I hope it's not Dan
- Quayle!"
