Linda Napolitano: Central Figure in the 1989 Brooklyn Bridge UFO Case Dies
Linda Napolitano, also known as Linda Cortile, who became a central figure in the 1989 Brooklyn Bridge UFO case documented by Budd Hopkins in Witnessed, has died (reported as having died on December 21). The case centers on a 3:15 a.m. sighting in which police observed a disk-shaped craft hovering near a Brooklyn building; a blue beam lifted four figures—one woman in a nightgown and three small beings—into the craft. Linda reportedly had no conscious memory of the event until hypnotic regression, conducted by Hopkins, yielded a memory of being abducted, taken onto the beam, and subjected to a medical examination with a metallic instrument inserted into her nose. A doctor later found a nasal incision, which she did not recall having been made. The piece is written by Christina Stock, who notes long-standing skepticism about abduction reports but acknowledges that some cases, including Linda’s and the 1961 Betty and Barney Hill case, warrant serious consideration. The article closes with a memorial tone and references Linda’s perceived honesty.
