Otherwise referred to as “The Manhattan Alien Abduction” or “The Brooklyn Bridge Case”, the alleged abduction of Linda Cortile in November 1989 is, to some, “the most important UFO case of the (twentieth) century”. To others, however, it is much more controversial and even suspicious.

Perhaps not least were accusations of monetary incentive by the abducte...

I’ve just ended this book with any chapters not included. I’ve found some contradictions. In a regression ” hypnosis” of Linda, she tells earlier to be escorted by “thin” aliens though very tall; inside the craft she tells of men and females aliens well “built”. A her don’t like females built, their aren’t feminine. Here clearly are involved three alien races, including the little creatures.
Though the aliens should have powers of stopping time and other similar things, in reality they act above the consciousness manipulating it. However having perceived the whole story how a crazy one; my more deep interrogative reside upon the ability of the author to make hypnosis and conduct a like proceeding. For me can be both the things though the real one is crazy and ponder for the hoax staging. Further doubt is a craft wholly red fire and it is the first one. All the story hasn’t sense and are just a bunch of crazies stuffs.
