Budd then shares the extraordinary case documented in his book Witnessed, in which a woman was floated out of her twelfth-story New York City apartment window in a beam of light in November 1989. Multiple independent witnesses came forward, including government security agents protecting a major political figure whose motorcade had stalled below due to electromagnetic effects. A woman on the Brooklyn Bridge and other observers corroborated identical details.
The discussion turns to the purpose behind abductions. Budd explains that the phenomenon centers on genetic harvesting and hybridization, with alien beings extracting human reproductive material and later presenting hybrid children to their human parents. He notes the beings seem envious of human emotional depth, a quality they appear to lack entirely.
Key Moments
Hopkins says NOVA suppressed the Florida husband's account: Hopkins describes how a mid-level corporate husband in Florida lay down on his hallway floor to re-enact, on camera, his paralysis while small aliens floated his four-year-old son out the window - and NOVA suppressed every frame of it for the broadcast.
Husband-pencil case wife's hypnosis edited to look leading: Hopkins says NOVA filmed him doing a hypnosis session with the Florida wife on an unrelated childhood case, then edited the footage to make it look like he was leading her, while suppressing all of the husband's non-hypnotic, conscious testimony - and announced on air there was no physical evidence.
Linda Cortile floated 12 stories out a Manhattan window: Hopkins lays out the Brooklyn Bridge case: an Italian-American housewife and mother of two reports to him hours after a November 30, 1989 abduction in which she was floated in a blue-white beam out the 12th-floor window of her East River apartment, and her family was found in suspended animation.
Two security agents wrote in: 'we cannot live with ourselves': Hopkins describes a February 1991 letter from two men who said they were parked in a car near the Brooklyn Bridge, watched a UFO above the apartment building light up like a 'brilliant light show,' and saw a woman and three small alien figures floated out the 12th-story window - they later turned out to be high-level government security intelligence agents.
Reagan-Bush-Gorbachev photo IDs the agent 'Dan': Hopkins reveals he located photographs of one of the agents, 'Dan,' standing in a row on Governor's Island with President Reagan, President-elect Bush and Gorbachev - and on tape opening Gorbachev's car door - confirming Dan's high-level protective-detail role.
