The Two Major Players of Budd Hopkins' Witnessed Case

[bcpietsch]

As her "companion" why is she making a documentary exposing his so called complicity in going along with Ms Cortile. My Mom met her (over a cig outside event) she clearly is made to look dishonest here-mom said she was honest-...but parts event, a UN inspector, prime minister, a limousine entourage w/security clearances heading to heliport Gov island, corroborating events occurring and Ms. Cortile the center of all - _outside_ her apt. make it compelling-I read the book-Budd's integrity is tops!

[reelkate1]

RIP Budd Hopkins: Let's hope Carol Rainey's zeal to "expose" Budd's work does not eclipse the truth of this man's intelligence, courage, creativity and deep compassion. Carol, let's not forget these people are working on society's margins with little academic, cultural or personal support.

SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO BE CONVICING! IT IS NOT HER JOB TO BE BELIEVED ESPECIALLY WHEN DEBUNKERS CONSTANTLY GO AFTER HER AND BUDD. SHE KNOWS THE TRUTH, BUDD KNOWS THE TRUTH, THE GOV KNOWS THE TRUTH - SEE THE ROBERTSON PANEL AND RESERVE JUDGEMENT UNTIL YOU DO EDUCATE YOURSELF. DID I MENTION SHE NEED NOT BE CONVINCING AS OTHERS BECAUSE OTHERS WITNESSED HER ORDEAL.YES, THE STORY IS OFTEN REPEATED BECAUSE THE SAME ALIENS ARE DO THE SAME THING TO DIFFERENT PEOPLE.WAKE UP!

[bcpietsch]

@MJ12DAVE -I agree in spite of your all caps look- your point is pretty valid. Yes, Ms."Cortile" being a bit loose in these selected videos from the filmmaker (partner?nice back stabbing)-OK-Linda calling as her cousin-that sounds real-perhaps she tended to embellish as years passed after-flirting is clear (jealous partner?)The man IMHO did not write about this for monetary gain (Strieber-8 books?)-topic presented itself synchronously- had no intent of being anything but ABEX artist a great man,

Status on this documentary?... What angle are you taking on this? Hoping this is not another assassination piece meant to discredit Budd, however any further investigation of methodology or purported event would be greatly welcomed.

Carol, do you believe in alien abduction now or not? Do you think that overall Budd Hopkins is still right?

I am so disappointed by all I've read about Hopkins and the Jacobs/Emma Woods scandal.

Do you regret writing a book with Budd Hopkins? I have the book and I found it interesting. Do you thing it's all wrong after all?

I appreciate you coming forward with all of this.

Thanks.

This is the first time I've ever heard Linda speak. It's the most incredible story, anyone who has not read the book, it's a must read. Thank you for posting.

Reserving judgment until you know the whole story is extremely wise!

[raggedmoorlander]

She is totally astonished at how they could have got in. What a strange reaction! Surely it's the fact that it's an alien that's the weirdest thing! She says they were just 'classic aliens' and goes on to describe the classic alien features - but she could be describing a creature in a zoo. There is no reaching deep inside herself to try to convey what she experienced, no struggling with words to describe what is beyond words. I reserve judgement on the credibility of this witness.

[Trentemoller5]

@raggedmoorlander Yeah .totally agree with this comment.she is not convincing at all.

[adnetjm]

Budd please check out .you tube. user/ julz35 start at the beginning she is authentic.

[adnetjm]

Yes, it's the real Linda. I met her in person at Wagner College.

[thutmose4]

Is this the real Linda Cortile?

[Dali27]

@thutmose4 It's the read Linda "Cortile." Her last name is a pseudonym, to protect the privacy of her family, although her actual name is all over the internet.

[causalityofbeing]

Incredible story. There were many witnesses. Some people in their vehicles thought that it was a movie shoot. Must have been a trippy sight.

[MagneticUniverse]

I apologize for not being more specific -- after reading the book, "Witnessed: The True Story of the Brooklyn Bridge UFO Abductions", I am now certain abductions are real.

[MagneticUniverse]

Thanks for posting. I was skeptical about UFO abductions until I read, 'Witnessed'. Now I'm certain. What is the status of your documentary?

[Dali27]

@MagneticUniverse It's in post-production. Do you mean that after seeing the clips,you're certain that you have good reason to be skeptical or that you are now certain that abductions are real?

[LakotaCat]

The book about this abduction and the events surrounding it is AMAZING. Scary, bizarre and profound. if you haven't read it you should! Thanks for putting up this video about this case.

[adnetjm]

I met Linda at a Seminar with Budd Hopkins who introduced us. I had just read the book "Wtnesed, and was blown away, so I really wanted to meet her. So Dennis brought her out to me as a surprise. I hugged her, and was so nervous and emotional I was nearly crying. We were to meet for coffee but, it never happened. Do U remember me from Wagner College, Jeanette, a friend of Dennis's, Professor of Astronomy dept and Budd's friend. If U want2get in touch with me? We can spend a day at the seaport?

[Dali27]

It's a very rough cut of footage that I will be editing into a documentary that will be released within the next year.  At this point, no idea where it will be released. Thanks for your interest!

[craigufo]

[narm67]
