--> 00:01:42,509 its highest point about 1 and 1/2 hours 36 00:01:48,319 --> 00:01:45,899 after sunset or as evening dusk gives 37 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:48,329 way to nightfall at temperate latitudes 38 00:01:53,749 --> 00:01:50,490 in the southern hemisphere 39 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:53,759 you folks have springtime Deneb transits 40 00:01:59,480 --> 00:01:56,130 at or near the same hour by the

latitudes so in that southern 44 00:02:10,550 --> 00:02:07,740 hemisphere you folks see Deneb this time 45 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:10,560 of year actually transit at evening dusk 46 00:02:15,950 --> 00:02:13,410 instead of nightfall at morn 47 00:02:17,750 --> 00:02:15,960 Northerly or southerly latitudes Deneb 48 00:02:20,870 --> 00:02:17,760 either transits to the north or the 49 00:02:23,930 --> 00:02:20,880 south of that Zenith point appreciably 50 00:02:26,450 --> 00:02:23,940 south of 45 degrees north latitude for 51 00:02:29,150 --> 00:02:26,460 instance Deneb lies to the north of the 52 00:02:31,370 --> 00:02:29,160 zenith point as it transits conversely 53 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:31,380 when Deneb transits at latitudes 54 00:02:37,460 --> 00:02:34,530 appreciably north of 45 degrees north 55 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:37,470 latitude Deneb then is viewed in the 56 00:02:43,670 --> 00:02:40,890 southern sky yep it's complicated 57 00:02:46,910 --> 00:02:43,680 Deneb has a bit of an entourage two 58 00:02:48,700 --> 00:02:46,920 brilliant stars Vega and Altair they 59 00:02:52,220 --> 00:02:48,710 team up within hep to complete that 60 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:52,230 humungous a summer triangle the luminous 61 00:02:57,500 --> 00:02:54,450 summer triangle asterism or star 62 00:03:00,470 --> 00:02:57,510 formation not truly a constellation can 63 00:03:02,540 -->

00:03:11,180 --> 00:03:08,460 northern stars Deneb in Vega are seen at 67 00:03:13,640 --> 00:03:11,190 the top of that summer triangle whereas 68 00:03:16,460 --> 00:03:13,650 the southernmost star Altair will be 69 00:03:18,590 --> 00:03:16,470 located at the bottom on the southern 70 00:03:21,770 --> 00:03:18,600 hemisphere it's the other way around but 71 00:03:24,199 --> 00:03:21,780 of course Altair rains at the top den 72 00:03:27,140 --> 00:03:24,209 Ave is at the bottom it's all a matter 73 00:03:30,020 --> 00:03:27,150 of perspective they gather summer 74 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:30,030 triangles westernmost star is seen on 75 00:03:34,460 --> 00:03:31,770 the right side of Deneb from mid 76 00:03:36,830 --> 00:03:34,470 northern latitudes on the other hand 77 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:36,840 from the southern hemisphere Vega lies 78 00:03:42,290 --> 00:03:39,930 to the left of Deneb around the world 79 00:03:44,180 --> 00:03:42,300 the stars of the summer triangle transit 80 00:03:47,060 --> 00:03:44,190 some four minutes earlier with each 81 00:03:48,380 --> 00:03:47,070 following day or two hours earlier with 82 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:48,390 each following month 83 00:03:53,660 --> 00:03:51,090 so from northerly latitudes the summer 84 00:03:56,630 --> 00:03:53,670 triangle is destined to shift over into 85 00:03:59,540 --> 00:03:56,640 the

s rapid 213 00:09:40,790 --> 00:09:38,770 development its empty deserts offer 214 00:09:43,560 --> 00:09:40,800 beautiful viewing of the stars at night 215 00:09:46,380 --> 00:09:43,570 including glimpses of the Milky Way 216 00:09:48,930 --> 00:09:46,390 here's a final quote from Hassan Amidala 217 00:09:52,020 --> 00:09:48,940 Hariri quote it was something that was 218 00:09:54,270 --> 00:09:52,030 really worth looking at it was beautiful 219 00:09:56,850 --> 00:09:54,280 to see and quotes and you can see it 220 00:10:00,450 --> 00:09:56,860 we'll put up a link at UFO headline news 221 00:10:03,210 --> 00:10:00,460 com later it is astonishing footage hard 222 00:10:04,740 --> 00:10:03,220 to believe it's space junk here's a 223 00:10:08,550 --> 00:10:04,750 headline that really tugged at our 224 00:10:12,560 --> 00:10:08,560 imagination aliens are actually immortal 225 00:10:16,350 --> 00:10:12,570 robots and their billions of years old 226 00:10:19,830 --> 00:10:16,360 researcher claims Rob wah writes this 227 00:10:22,980 --> 00:10:19,840 for Yahoo News United Kingdom will 228 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:22,990 aliens be delicate hairless creatures 229 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:26,170 with big almond eyes as some UFO 230 00:10:33,170 --> 00:10:29,770 believers think or big slimy green blobs 231 00:10:36,210 --> 00:10:33,180 with eyes on stalks probably neither 232 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:36,220 scientists say the first aliens we 233 00:10:42,170 --> 00:10:38,410 encounter are likely to be machines and 234 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:42,180 there will be almost unimaginably old 235 00:10:46,560 --> 00:10:44,890 Susan Schneider of the University of 236 00:10:49,230 --> 00:10:46,570 Connecticut and the Institute for 237 00:10:52,740 --> 00:10:49,240 Advanced Studies at Princeton says that 238 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:52,750 alien a I may already be out there and 239 00:10:58,350 --> 00:10:56,050 it could be billions of years old Susan 240 00:11:00,750 --> 00:10:58,360 Schneider says quote I do not believe 241 00:11:03,090 --> 00:11:00,760 that most advanced alien civilizations 242 00:11:05,580 --> 00:11:03,100 will be biological the most 243 00:11:07,590 --> 00:11:05,590 sophisticated civilizations will be post 244 00:11:10,980 --> 00:11:07,600 biological forms of artificial 245 00:11:14,670 --> 00:11:10,990 intelligence or alien super intelligence 246 00:11:16,770 --> 00:11:14,680 and quotes Snyder said in a daily galaxy 247 00:11:19,380 --> 00:11:16,780 report quote all lines of evidence 248 00:11:21,660 --> 00:11:19,390 converge on the conclusion that the 249 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:21,670 maximum age of extraterrestrial 250 00:11:27,030 --> 00:11:23,730 intelligence would be billions of years 251 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:27,040 specifically the ranges from 1.7 billion 252 00:11:32,070 --> 00:11:30,370 to 8 billion years and quotes many 253 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:32,080 researchers believe that the first 254 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:34,450 aliens we encounter will be robots 255 00:11:39,750 --> 00:11:37,330 the reason it's all about the 256 00:11:41,790 --> 00:11:39,760 probability and how long it takes 257 00:11:44,100 --> 00:11:41,800 alien civilizations to evolve from 258 00:11:47,190 --> 00:11:44,110 developing radio communications to 259 00:11:49,050 --> 00:11:47,200 becoming immortal cyborgs many 260 00:11:51,300 --> 00:11:49,060 scientists believe that the period from 261 00:11:53,220 --> 00:11:51,310 the discovery of radio waves to 262 00:11:56,900 --> 00:11:53,230 organisms turning themselves into 263 00:11:59,490 --> 00:11:56,910 immortal robots will be relatively brief 264 00:12:01,020 --> 00:11:59,500 Google's reycarts file in fact has 265 00:12:04,260 --> 00:12:01,030 predicted that man will merge with 266 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:04,270 machine here on earth in the year 2050 267 00:12:10,350 --> 00:12:07,210 the upshot of this is that it's far far 268 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:10,360 more likely that we'll meet aliens after 269 00:12:15,630 --> 00:12:13,090 they've turned into machines according 270 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:15,640 to some experts Seth Shostak of the 271 00:12:20,490 --> 00:12:17,290 search for extraterrestrial intelligence 272 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:20,500 says quote consider the fact that any 273 00:12:25,590 --> 00:12:23,050 signal we pick up has to come from a 274 00:12:28,650 --> 00:12:25,600 civilization at least as advanced as we 275 00:12:31,140 --> 00:12:28,660 are now let's say conservatively the 276 00:12:34,050 --> 00:12:31,150 average civilization will use radio for 277 00:12:36,630 --> 00:12:34,060 10,000 years so from a purely 278 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:36,640 probabilistic point of view the chance 279 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:39,250 of encountering a society far older than 280 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:42,010 ourselves is quite high and quotes 281 00:12:46,980 --> 00:12:44,290 alrighty then it's way back Wednesday 282 00:12:49,980 --> 00:12:46,990 we're going to recap the Manhattan 283 00:12:52,740 --> 00:12:49,990 Transfer abduction as it's called the 284 00:12:55,100 --> 00:12:52,750 story of Linda Cortile and then we'll 285 00:12:57,870 --> 00:12:55,110 move forward with this incredible tale 286 00:13:00,710 --> 00:12:57,880 this is written by les Hewitt for 287 00:13:04,050 --> 00:13:00,720 paranormal phenomena and he writes 288 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:04,060 bordering on paranormal the phenomenon 289 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:06,490 of alien abduction has polarized the 290 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:09,130 world in opinions and conclusions the 291 00:13:12,090 --> 00:13:10,050 truth of whether or not 292 00:13:14,220 --> 00:13:12,100 extraterrestrials are somehow finding 293 00:13:16,590 --> 00:13:14,230 their way to our planet to perform 294 00:13:18,870 --> 00:13:16,600 strange experiments on hapless victims 295 00:13:20,340 --> 00:13:18,880 is possibly secondary 296 00:13:23,580 --> 00:13:20,350 to the mystery of the widespread 297 00:13:25,830 --> 00:13:23,590 accounts of such visitations how can so 298 00:13:28,860 --> 00:13:25,840 many people have had encounters and yet 299 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:28,870 there's so little concrete evidence so 300 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:31,330 let's talk about Linda Cortile she 301 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:33,490 claimed gray aliens abducted her from 302 00:13:39,150 --> 00:13:36,730 her apartment in Manhattan and as is the 303 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:39,160 case with all abduction stories skeptics 304 00:13:45,060 --> 00:13:42,730 were quick to cry hoax she originally 305 00:13:46,740 --> 00:13:45,070 called herself Linda Cortile but she 306 00:13:50,460 --> 00:13:46,750 later changed her name to Linda 307 00:13:54,660 --> 00:13:50,470 Napolitano around 3:00 a.m. November 308 00:13:57,450 --> 00:13:54,670 30th 1989 Linda supposedly had an 309 00:13:59,940 --> 00:13:57,460 experience with several gray aliens at 310 00:14:02,850 --> 00:13:59,950 the time she could only recall fragments 311 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:02,860 but she remembered enough to claim that 312 00:14:07,500 --> 00:14:05,290 she floated out of her clothes bedroom 313 00:14:11,580 --> 00:14:07,510 window on her 12th floor apartment and 314 00:14:13,590 --> 00:14:11,590 into a hovering UFO once on board the 315 00:14:16,500 --> 00:14:13,600 beings escorted her to a room that was 316 00:14:20,010 --> 00:14:16,510 likely a medical bay there she underwent 317 00:14:22,740 --> 00:14:20,020 some examination with selected parts of 318 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:22,750 the event not immediately available to 319 00:14:27,510 --> 00:14:24,850 her she sought out the help of Budd 320 00:14:30,510 --> 00:14:27,520 Hopkins who ultimately decided to try 321 00:14:32,100 --> 00:14:30,520 hypnotic regression these sessions took 322 00:14:34,380 --> 00:14:32,110 place over the course of much of the 323 00:14:37,140 --> 00:14:34,390 following year along with her original 324 00:14:39,390 --> 00:14:37,150 memories these sessions filled in many 325 00:14:42,270 --> 00:14:39,400 blanks of a standard abduction 326 00:14:44,850 --> 00:14:42,280 experience what makes this Manhattan 327 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:44,860 Transfer abduction experience stand out 328 00:14:50,790 --> 00:14:47,890 from almost every other one was what 329 00:14:53,910 --> 00:14:50,800 happened just over a year after her 330 00:14:57,090 --> 00:14:53,920 abduction the late Budd Hopkins artist 331 00:14:58,830 --> 00:14:57,100 UFO researcher and author and hypnotist 332 00:15:01,560 --> 00:14:58,840 I just saved hundreds of dollars by 333 00:15:04,050 --> 00:15:01,570 switching to Geico I'm so happy I feel 334 00:15:05,250 --> 00:15:04,060 like I can fly disclaimer you will not 335 00:15:06,870 --> 00:15:05,260 be able to fly by switching to Geico 336 00:15:08,250 --> 00:15:06,880 this is against the laws of physics and 337 00:15:09,630 --> 00:15:08,260 nature if you find yourself lying please 338 00:15:11,100 --> 00:15:09,640 seek professional and/or medical help 339 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:11,110 immediately in the unlikely event you 340 00:15:14,250 --> 00:15:12,490 find yourself lying you might be a 341 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:14,260 superhero or a pigeon or a superhero 342 00:15:17,850 --> 00:15:16,090 named Pitt woman who was bitten by a 343 00:15:19,350 --> 00:15:17,860 radioactive pigeon if you are indeed bid 344 00:15:20,460 --> 00:15:19,360 woman keiko retains all licensing 345 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:20,470 publishing rights in the event Pitts 346 00:15:24,060 --> 00:15:21,970 woman the movie becomes a top grossing 347 00:15:27,750 --> 00:15:24,070 Hollywood blockbuster Geico 15 minutes 348 00:15:29,810 --> 00:15:27,760 could save you 15% or more received 349 00:15:31,430 --> 00:15:29,820 apparent confirmation from two 350 00:15:34,730 --> 00:15:31,440 additional 351 00:15:36,860 --> 00:15:34,740 a letter arrived in the post from two 352 00:15:39,620 --> 00:15:36,870 men men who called themselves Richard 353 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:39,630 and Dan even though the letter 354 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:41,610 corroborated the reports Linda had made 355 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:44,250 but Hopkins did have some doubts over 356 00:15:48,860 --> 00:15:46,770 this pair wanting to learn more about 357 00:15:51,170 --> 00:15:48,870 them but Hopkins conducted background 358 00:15:54,310 --> 00:15:51,180 checks on them and it turned out both 359 00:15:57,380 --> 00:15:54,320 men had the same career close-quarters 360 00:16:00,020 --> 00:15:57,390 bodyguards here's the interesting 361 00:16:02,270 --> 00:16:00,030 element additionally on the 30th of 362 00:16:04,460 --> 00:16:02,280 November the evening of this incident 363 00:16:07,730 --> 00:16:04,470 this abduction both of these men were 364 00:16:10,670 --> 00:16:07,740 guarding the same man some people 365 00:16:13,550 --> 00:16:10,680 believe that man was the United Nations 366 00:16:16,310 --> 00:16:13,560 secretary-general Javier Perez de 367 00:16:17,810 --> 00:16:16,320 Cuellar all three of these men were in a 368 00:16:19,970 --> 00:16:17,820 limousine they were crossing the 369 00:16:22,700 --> 00:16:19,980 Brooklyn Bridge when they saw something 370 00:16:25,580 --> 00:16:22,710 that shocked them both bodyguards 371 00:16:28,340 --> 00:16:25,590 insisted that they saw a woman floating 372 00:16:31,580 --> 00:16:28,350 way above the ground and towards a 373 00:16:33,530 --> 00:16:31,590 massive craft ultimately Hopkins was to 374 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:33,540 receive another letter in the mail a 375 00:16:38,750 --> 00:16:36,090 letter from a woman known as Janet 376 00:16:40,670 --> 00:16:38,760 Trimble she revealed that she too was 377 00:16:43,820 --> 00:16:40,680 driving across the Brooklyn Bridge at 378 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:43,830 the time of the original abduction she 379 00:16:48,470 --> 00:16:46,050 was a retired telephone operator she 380 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:48,480 assumed the event she was seeing was 381 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:50,610 nothing more than a scene some sort of 382 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:53,250 film shoot for an upcoming science 383 00:16:57,800 --> 00:16:55,650 fiction film with the addition of a 384 00:17:00,500 --> 00:16:57,810 fourth witness but Hawkins made the 385 00:17:03,290 --> 00:17:00,510 decision to go public and revealed some 386 00:17:06,860 --> 00:17:03,300 of the details of this entire event if 387 00:17:09,170 --> 00:17:06,870 indeed that third man in the limo was 388 00:17:11,300 --> 00:17:09,180 that then current United Nations 389 00:17:13,850 --> 00:17:11,310 secretary-general Javier Perez de 390 00:17:17,210 --> 00:17:13,860 Cuellar you can imagine gentle listeners 391 00:17:19,100 --> 00:17:17,220 the ramifications of that if Cuellar had 392 00:17:21,500 --> 00:17:19,110 come forward publicly he could have 393 00:17:24,319 --> 00:17:21,510 propelled the Cortile abduction into the 394 00:17:27,050 --> 00:17:24,329 stratosphere of UFO cases with credible 395 00:17:29,270 --> 00:17:27,060 documentation but Hopkins and Cuellar 396 00:17:32,540 --> 00:17:29,280 corresponded on a regular basis and 397 00:17:35,540 --> 00:17:32,550 while he did confirm details ultimately 398 00:17:37,430 --> 00:17:35,550 Cuellar refused to go public he was 399 00:17:39,980 --> 00:17:37,440 however willing to meet with Budd 400 00:17:42,500 --> 00:17:39,990 Hopkins behind closed doors on the 401 00:17:44,690 --> 00:17:42,510 condition that Hopkins never disclosed 402 00:17:46,580 --> 00:17:44,700 his name to the public 403 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:46,590 we're going to be jumping back and forth 404 00:17:52,820 --> 00:17:49,610 in time let's go slightly forward to 405 00:17:55,039 --> 00:17:52,830 2003 Linda Cortile agreed to a sit-down 406 00:17:58,130 --> 00:17:55,049 interview with French magazine La 407 00:18:00,350 --> 00:17:58,140 Gazzetta Yann during this interview she 408 00:18:02,690 --> 00:18:00,360 added several new facts to her account 409 00:18:05,299 --> 00:18:02,700 the main addition to the original report 410 00:18:07,909 --> 00:18:05,309 was information of an undisclosed 411 00:18:10,190 --> 00:18:07,919 witness to that abduction all the 412 00:18:12,830 --> 00:18:10,200 Cortile revealed was that a witness a 413 00:18:15,860 --> 00:18:12,840 truck driver for the New York Post was 414 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:15,870 there saw it had an ideal vantage point 415 00:18:22,460 --> 00:18:19,650 from said Brooklyn Bridge now let's jump 416 00:18:27,020 --> 00:18:22,470 to content provided by Philip Coppins he 417 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:27,030 spells that Co PP ENS he says the case 418 00:18:32,180 --> 00:18:29,730 dramatically changed scope once Budd 419 00:18:34,220 --> 00:18:32,190 Hopkins received that letter from the 420 00:18:37,159 --> 00:18:34,230 two policemen they sent him a letter 421 00:18:39,649 --> 00:18:37,169 very long and involved it's an account 422 00:18:43,669 --> 00:18:39,659 of that evening an account of what they 423 00:18:46,250 --> 00:18:43,679 saw in February of 1991 15 months after 424 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:46,260 the abduction Hopkins realized their 425 00:18:52,310 --> 00:18:48,570 account matched the place and time of 426 00:18:54,350 --> 00:18:52,320 Linda Napolitano 'z experience further 427 00:18:56,299 --> 00:18:54,360 investigation convinced him that this 428 00:18:58,970 --> 00:18:56,309 was the first independent corroboration 429 00:19:00,440 --> 00:18:58,980 of an abduction furthermore the 430 00:19:04,039 --> 00:19:00,450 witnesses seem to have impeccable 431 00:19:07,100 --> 00:19:04,049 credentials policemen rather than normal 432 00:19:09,890 --> 00:19:07,110 members of the public however as soon as 433 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:09,900 the experiences were built they began to 434 00:19:15,380 --> 00:19:12,330 crumble but Hopkins soon discovered that 435 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:15,390 the two policemen were in fact members 436 00:19:21,980 --> 00:19:19,770 of the CIA these policemen had claimed 437 00:19:24,169 --> 00:19:21,990 they contacted Hopkins as ever since 438 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:24,179 they witnessed the abduction they simply 439 00:19:29,270 --> 00:19:26,730 could not get that image out of their 440 00:19:31,399 --> 00:19:29,280 heads as to the reasons why they stayed 441 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:31,409 out of reach Hopkins learned that they 442 00:19:37,010 --> 00:19:33,330 were acting as security guards for a 443 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:37,020 famous political figure the two men 444 00:19:41,779 --> 00:19:39,330 along with the then anonymous political 445 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:41,789 figure were heading towards the New York 446 00:19:47,330 --> 00:19:44,010 heliport when the car had stopped 447 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:47,340 mysteriously on its own the two 448 00:19:52,700 --> 00:19:49,770 bodyguards and the politician then 449 00:19:54,260 --> 00:19:52,710 witnessed that abduction it almost 450 00:19:57,500 --> 00:19:54,270 seemed as if the abduction had been 451 00:20:00,350 --> 00:19:57,510 staged so that one of the most influent 452 00:20:02,810 --> 00:20:00,360 man in the world the then Secretary 453 00:20:05,780 --> 00:20:02,820 General of the United Nations Javier 454 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:05,790 Perez de Cuellar would see the alien 455 00:20:11,180 --> 00:20:08,970 reality for himself here's more about 456 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:11,190 the other witness the woman named 457 00:20:16,550 --> 00:20:14,850 nicknamed Janet Trimble she was saying 458 00:20:18,470 --> 00:20:16,560 that while she was passing over the 459 00:20:22,910 --> 00:20:18,480 Brooklyn Bridge at 3:00 a.m. November 460 00:20:25,430 --> 00:20:22,920 30th 1989 somehow all of the cars lights 461 00:20:28,730 --> 00:20:25,440 and engines everybody on the bridge 462 00:20:31,610 --> 00:20:28,740 everything failed including the street 463 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:31,620 lights on the bridge she therefore got 464 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:32,970 out of her car to see what had happened 465 00:20:40,250 --> 00:20:36,690 and saw with other drivers a woman 466 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:40,260 floating 12 stories high into a hovering 467 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:43,650 UFO above her apartment building now at 468 00:20:47,930 --> 00:20:45,930 this point but Hopkins must have felt 469 00:20:48,500 --> 00:20:47,940 this case was becoming too good to be 470 00:20:51,710 --> 00:20:48,510 true 471 00:20:54,590 --> 00:20:51,720 during a routine examination a metallic 472 00:20:57,380 --> 00:20:54,600 object was discovered inside Linda's 473 00:21:00,230 --> 00:20:57,390 nasal cavity which suggested that it 474 00:21:01,850 --> 00:21:00,240 might have been an alien implant two 475 00:21:04,220 --> 00:21:01,860 weeks after the x-ray she suffered a 476 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:04,230 serious nosebleed during the night in 477 00:21:09,290 --> 00:21:06,330 the morning she found extensive 478 00:21:11,990 --> 00:21:09,300 bloodstains on her face and pillow later 479 00:21:15,020 --> 00:21:12,000 x-ray revealed that this metallic object 480 00:21:17,180 --> 00:21:15,030 was no longer present in her nostril 481 00:21:19,610 --> 00:21:17,190 though a conspicuous Ridge of built-up 482 00:21:23,120 --> 00:21:19,620 cartilage showed there had once been 483 00:21:25,730 --> 00:21:23,130 something there the suspicion was that 484 00:21:28,070 --> 00:21:25,740 the aliens had implanted her but after 485 00:21:30,770 --> 00:21:28,080 the implant having been discovered it 486 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:30,780 was removed so that this quote alien 487 00:21:35,900 --> 00:21:32,970 technology and quotes would not fall 488 00:21:38,150 --> 00:21:35,910 into human hands still it meant that the 489 00:21:40,910 --> 00:21:38,160 case remained just like all the others a 490 00:21:43,460 --> 00:21:40,920 case of reports but without any hard 491 00:21:45,980 --> 00:21:43,470 evidence although the case remained much 492 00:21:50,330 --> 00:21:45,990 better than all the others much more 493 00:21:52,790 --> 00:21:50,340 substance by 1993 the Linda Napolitano 494 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:52,800 Linda Cortile case had generated 495 00:21:57,350 --> 00:21:55,530 enormous interest and international 496 00:22:00,770 --> 00:21:57,360 attention being discussed in the wall 497 00:22:03,050 --> 00:22:00,780 street journal by Omni Paris Match and 498 00:22:04,670 --> 00:22:03,060 the New York Times Hopkins and 499 00:22:07,670 --> 00:22:04,680 Napolitano had appeared on television 500 00:22:11,090 --> 00:22:07,680 shows shows such as Inside Edition 501 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:11,100 but Hopkins also realized that it 502 00:22:16,100 --> 00:22:13,410 he could convince de cuéllar to publicly 503 00:22:19,100 --> 00:22:16,110 corroborate the story then it would be 504 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:19,110 sensational if something else was 505 00:22:23,390 --> 00:22:21,450 sensational that was the reaction the 506 00:22:26,990 --> 00:22:23,400 subsequent behavior of these two 507 00:22:30,289 --> 00:22:27,000 individuals Richard and Dan they became 508 00:22:32,630 --> 00:22:30,299 so transfixed so obsessed with Linda was 509 00:22:36,529 --> 00:22:32,640 she alright did she in fact possess 510 00:22:39,020 --> 00:22:36,539 supernatural powers alien powers perhaps 511 00:22:41,990 --> 00:22:39,030 and in the months and years that 512 00:22:45,230 --> 00:22:42,000 followed Linda Cortile Linda Napolitano 513 00:22:47,750 --> 00:22:45,240 was to be abducted again in broad 514 00:22:50,419 --> 00:22:47,760 daylight with no witnesses
