From Publishers Weekly
It is 3 a.m. on November 30, 1989. On the Lower East Side of Manhattan, a motorcade carrying international diplomats, including a U.N. representative of the highest standing, stalls out and comes to a halt beneath the FDR Drive. An enormous reddish-orange UFO looms above an apartment building, where a pretty housewife is seen by the members of the motorcade to float out of a 12th-story window, accompanied by three ugly gray aliens, and into the spaceship. Because those involved, including the woman ("Linda Cortile"), the U.N. diplomat and his security men (probably "CIA or NSA"), eventually read Hopkins's bestselling last book, Intruders, they all end up contacting him. One of the security men becomes completely unhinged and is either assassinated or consigned to the back wards of a government insane asylum. He gets off easy. The other G-man falls in love with "Linda," only to discover that he has been trysting with her since the age of 10 under alien auspices. Hopkins contends that the "Brooklyn Bridge incident" is the most-witnessed UFO abduction of all time. Because he has changed the names of all the participants?allegedly to spare them ridicule?little in his text can be checked. In any case, according to Hopkins, "outing" abductees is done only by "vicious debunkers" who have "rigid belief systems." Even so, the author himself does everything but write the words "Perez de Cuellar" in describing the high-echelon U.N. diplomat with the tinted glasses and Spanish accent. Hopkins isn't the storyteller that Whitley Strieber is, but his last book rode high on the bestseller lists, and there's a creepy, nightmarish quality to his new one that may ensure it the same fate. Meanwhile, believers will believe and skeptics will remain skeptical. Photos not seen by PW. Author tour.

From Booklist
The long-awaited investigative report by artist and veteran UFO researcher Budd Hopkins (Missing Time, 1982; Intruders, 1987) details a remarkable abduction that took place in downtown Manhattan early on the morning of November 30, 1989. The case is unique for many reasons: several witnesses from vantage points on or near the Brooklyn Bridge saw the UFO and the abductee (Linda Cortile) floating 12 stories up in a blazing blue-white light; three of these witnesses (a highly placed United Nations diplomat and his security guards) later came to understand that they had been abducted at the same time. One of the security guards eventually realized that he had met Cortile years ago during a shared sequence of abductions in which each recalled the other as an "imaginary playmate." Hopkins does his best to document this bizarre series of events and at one point confronts the unnamed UN official with evidence of his involvement. Cases like this illustrate why there are no simple explanations for UFO abductions. George Eberhart

This one scared the pants off me!,
Rezension bezieht sich auf: Witnessed (Taschenbuch)
By far, this book on Alien Abductions is one of the best I have ever read and was so well written. It was almost like reading a Dean Koontz novel except more frightening by the possibility of this being true. Having had my own similar experiences, I have no doubt that it was true! How this woman was able to escape not her alien captors, but her human ones, will amaze you. And that there are such people supposedly working within the government ranks is too frightening! Read this book to learn more than you want to know!

Close but No Cigar, ya know?,

Rezension bezieht sich auf: Witnessed (Taschenbuch)
Budd is undeniably one of the best in his field, and I have respect for the man...but, and this a huge *but*, this book is loaded with anonymity; too many names, faces, and people we just cannot verify...as much as I understand the need for concealing identities, it doesn't help me believe the story he tells me here...well-written, but many of us can weave this sort of a tale provided we don't have to verify names, have to offer the hard, factual evidence needed to confront these people face-to-face and inquire as to the truth...sorry, but it doesn't work for me...until, and if, writers in this genre can give us the true "who, what, when, where, and why" of these startling anomalies, they won't be taken seriously...and that includes Budd Hopkins...these writers complain about the truth being hidden, yet all the while hide behind the curtain of anonymous sources in doing so; you cannot have it both ways...tired as it may sound, what's good for the goose is good for the gander...

One of the best, relating to UFO abductions,
Rezension bezieht sich auf: Witnessed (Taschenbuch)
I finished this book a couple of weeks ago and it is one of the best I've read, relating to UFO abductions/sightings. The events and the people involved are very complex. It will answer several questions and open up several more. Great reading, I hope there is a follow up soon!
