I love love love Budd Hopkins I own his other true Alien abduction story books but this book is creepy good, I'm a true Alien abductee as well but later found out this woman in this book made up an entire lie about Alien abduction which is totally wrong! But it's a great read other than that! I believe all other Alien abductees out there I'm one, but I won't lie about mine like she did! But anyway great eye opener! 👽👽

Either the best alien abduction story ever documented or a complete work of fiction. This is the fourth book by Budd Hopkins I've read and the most engaging. This is his only book to deal with one sighting and the effects on the lives of individuals who saw it. There were times when I literally could not put the book down. I would have given it 5 stars if not for some very hard to believe aspects. I have a very open mind about these types of things but even I was challenged to believe all that was described in this book. Some of the testimony of witnesses to this sighting were related in letters written to the author. The language, phrases and ideas conveyed by the letters and also by the words of the protagonist Linda Cortile were
at times awkward and detracted from credibility as well as just being downright annoying. I've never heard anyone say, "I'm going to shoot your face off," or repeatedly refer to aliens as "critters." I guess my feelings about this book could be summed up in a famous quote from The X-files: "I want to believe."

Although this story has been possibly exposed as a hoax there was a scientific report today that may change minds. There is a website called suspicious observer that deals primarily with monitoring of the Sun and is scientific in nature but today they reported that acid when exposed to an electrical charge can levitate and this is the amazing thing, when levitation occurs it becomes engulfed in a white bluish light. Think about this story, Travis Walton, the Allagash abduction, and others a Bright white bluish light and they are levitated to the ship. I may have to give this story further consideration and the whole idea of levitation in abduction cases.
I like the book although I think it was rushed and needed people to step up and in person confirm the events, that is my main problem. But after that report today, I think we have much to consider in our scientific knowledge and our place in the universe. I try to rationalize why a person would put themselves in a story only to be humiliated if exposed as a hoax. Something to think about after today.

I love books written by Budd Hopkins! This book is riveting! I never wanted to put it down. True stories of alien abduction usually have a typical plot, but the people involved with this event have experienced an extraordinary series of events never known before. The witnesses are connected on a much deeper level than known before.

I'm a big believer that UFOs and aliens exist, because I simply don't think it's logical that we are alone in the vast universe. Therefore I really enjoyed this book.
This story is fascinating even if none of it is true. Multi-layered, the 1989 alien abduction is central but only part of the story. With that in mind I'm surprised it's never been made into a movie. Budd Hopkins' book previous to this one "Intruders" was made into a TV movie and it wasn't that great. And "Fire In The Sky" about the Travis Walton abduction blew it on the most important part of his story - his supposed abduction.
Budd Hopkins, a painter by trade, writes surprisingly well for someone who more or less fell into UFO abduction research (having learned that from his first book "Missing Time", also a good read). One nitpick about his books is that he has a creepy old-guy thing going on; every woman is introduced with a little too much detail - especially if they are striking, tall, very successful, etc. etc. OK it's nice to get some background but he introduces no man this way. Maybe I'm reading too much into that. Also in this particular book a couple of supposed witnesses come and go in a few pages near the end, which for me ruined the drama that had built throughout the book.
Otherwise great story, true, partly true, or all-out hoax (which seems rather impossible and Hopkins makes a compelling case in the appendix that it can't possibly be). If you're fascinated by the UFO phenomenon like me you need to read this one.

A Truly Excellent Book
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 23, 2018Verified Purchase
Sadly, Budd Hopkins has since left Earth and has passed on. From what I understand he managed to write three books, the first 'Missing Time' is well worth tracking down and worth reading, the second is known as 'Intruders' and this third and last book is impressive and highly interesting. As books on the subject of alien abductions go, this is an incredible account. Set in New York around November 30th 1989 it follows the abduction of Linda Cortile and delves into a story-like quality with Budd explaining in excellent detail the areas of proof to corroborate the story. This is an incredible piece of work, well written and deeply fascinating and highly reassuring for those looking for proof we are not alone.

Quite good condition for used item, the story is based on a real life incident tho some of what happened sound like something out of a movie a bit over the top and things added to make it sound more exiting. but if every single thing that happened in the book is 100% true then wow! It's mindblowing to think these things can happen, also a little scary

Incredible story regardless
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 3, 2017Verified Purchase
Probably the most difficult conclusion I have to make of a book. Extremely exciting chapters that are well written, but I fear that Budd was blinded by love for this woman. If the last chapter did happen, which was finally based on Budd and not the witness, then there is an interesting meeting with one of the leaders of the United Nations regarding the most mindboggeling fact of our time, alien visitation.

Fascinating story. Although I found it raises many more questions regarding the 'abduction' theory. You will need to refer to other sources. Eg: Betty & Barney Hill case and the excellent Jerome Clark volumes.
