Linda Cortile Abduction: Brooklyn Bridge, Witnessed by UN Secretary General
In the early morning hours of November 30, 1989, Linda Cortile (pseudonym for Linda Napolitano) is taken from her 12th-floor lower Manhattan apartment window by a beam of light, accompanied by alien beings, and floated into a UFO. More than a dozen independent observers report witnessing the event, many interviewed directly by abduction researcher Budd Hopkins. Two security agents ('Richard' and 'Dan') write to Hopkins confirming they saw a woman lifted from a building between 3-3:30 AM with three 'ugly but smaller humanlike creatures.' They were escorting an important political figure — later identified as UN Secretary General Javier Perez de Cuellar, who was traveling to a heliport at Governors Island. Hopkins determines Perez de Cuellar was not merely a witness but was himself abducted. Linda's son confirms this by identifying de Cuellar from photos. Additional witnesses include 'Janet Kimble' who saw the event from the Brooklyn Bridge, New York Post truck drivers, and others. De Cuellar met with Hopkins and did not deny involvement. Steven Greer claims the event panicked the Bush White House into calling off UFO disclosure plans.
