Hi Greg,

I haven't read Budd's new book, so maybe this has already been
explained: How did 'Janet Kimball' know to contact Budd Hopkins
after her alleged Brooklyn Bridge sighting of the Linda abduction?

Was she already familiar enough with abduction lore to associate
Budd Hopkins with her sighting? If she felt strong enough about the
importance of her alleged sighting to contact Hopkins, why wouldn't
she feel strong enough about it to provide Hopkins with an
"on-the-record" affidavit? Doesn't she realize that at this point,
all Hopkins has to support the Linda case is hearsay?

Doesn't she realize how her equivocation weakens Hopkin's case --
which, if true, would be of great historic importance?

Assuming 'Janet Kimball' is a real person, how do you square her
willingness to contact Hopkins, with her unwillingness to go on the
record?

Regards,

Vince
