About this listen
Our followers couldn’t get enough of our last alien abduction episode—so we’re giving you another deep dive into one of the most controversial cases in UFO lore.
This week, we dissect the infamous Manhattan Alien Abduction involving Linda Napolitano, who claimed she was taken from her 12th-floor apartment by extraterrestrials in 1989. The story gained traction thanks to ufologist Budd Hopkins, and now it’s back in the spotlight with a new Netflix documentary miniseries—and a lawsuit. Napolitano is suing Netflix for defamation, alleging the series misrepresented her experience and motives.
But the drama doesn’t stop there. We explore the sharp skepticism from Carol Rainey, Hopkins’ ex-wife, who accuses Napolitano of manipulating her son and fabricating witness letters. Critics argue the case may be more psychological than extraterrestrial, possibly shaped by science fiction tropes and the ufology community’s hunger for sensationalism.
🔍 In this episode:
- We break down the original claims and the alleged eyewitnesses.
- Analyze the documentary’s portrayal and the legal fallout.
- Debate whether this case reflects genuine contact—or the power of belief and storytelling.
If you’re into alien lore, media ethics, and the blurry line between truth and myth, this one’s for you.
Buckle up—this abduction tale might be more human than it seems.
