Case · UFO Afrinews No 18, July 1998
Linda Cortile and the Brooklyn Bridge abduction, as cited by Wintle and Hind
1989 ยท Brooklyn Bridge, New York, United States
Outside the region. Hind reprinted this case from elsewhere; it has a file here but no place on the map.
What was reported
The Brooklyn Bridge abduction of 'Linda Cortile' on 30 November 1989 appears twice. In Prier Wintle's review, Dennis Stacey's opening chapter ends its eight days that shaped ufology with it, because it was observed by several independent witnesses, two of them police officers. In her editor's reply, Hind recalls Budd Hopkins' book Witness, in which two of those witnesses describe seeing Cortile on a beach helping the aliens while they themselves were being led by them. Hind offers it as an instance of a person disappearing in an obvious abduction, and says the story is too elaborate to give in full.
