APRIL UPDATE: New Navigation Added! The Linda Cortile Web site: Twenty-two years after a multiple-witnessed UFO abduction; 16 years after the release of Budd Hopkins’ book documenting The True Story of the Brooklyn Bridge Abductions, comes the most comprehensive Web site about an alien abduction case ever. Special Feature: New Handwriting Analysis Performed by a Legitimate Forensic Document Examiner On January 8, 1993, a 25-page article titled A Critique of Budd Hopkins' Case of the UFO Abduction of Linda Cortile* was published by Joseph J. Stefula, Richard D. Butler, and George P. Hansen. The purpose of their article was to attempt to prove that the Linda Cortile case was a hoax. In 2008, I read the book Witnessed, The
True Story of the Brooklyn Bridge UFO Abductions by Budd
Hopkins. In addition to reading Witnessed, I looked for more
information about the case on the Internet. It was then that I came
across the 25-page Hansen/Stefula/Butler critique of the Linda Cortile
case which, at first glance, appeared to be an in-depth dismantling of the
case. During my research, I also discovered that prior to Witnessed being published in 1996, only ten percent of the information contained in Witnessed had been publicly released. The more I studied their critique, the more flaws I found. I decided the most constructive action to take was to document and provide proof of the serious and numerous flaws in their work. This way there would be, if nothing else, a private historical record covering the facts. I began writing my rebuttal in 2009 and
completed it in the Winter of 2010. It took me 18 months to thoroughly
address all of the statements and claims that are alleged in the
Hansen/Stefula/Butler document. What I am presenting to you today is
a document that is 421 pages in length; of which 187 pages are my
direct findings. The remaining 234 pages are comprised of quotes,
references and appendices to demonstrate and numerically correlate
the proof behind each of the statements During my work on Critique Rejected I established contact with Budd Hopkins and Linda Cortile by mail, telling them about my work, that it was being done in total privacy, and that I had no plans to release it publicly. I explained that I planned to keep my research a "private historical record" because I did not wish to inflame the debunkers into action again. The three of us agreed this would be the wisest decision, and my document was delivered to them personally at the end of 2010. In 2011, the public debunking of Linda's case started up again by a new series of debunkers who, among spreading new inaccurate statements about Linda's case, made a point of championing data from the Hansen/Stefula/Butler critique as though it were proof that the case is invalid. It was at this point when I contacted Budd and Linda and asked them if they would like for me to publicly release Critique Rejected so we could finally make the inaccuracies of the Hansen/Stefula/Butler critique publicly known once and for all. After Budd and Linda gave me their permission, I contacted Kay Wilson who was kind enough to make my work accessible to the general public on her Alien Jigsaw Web site. Had it not been for the latest barrage of debunking attacks, my work would have remained an unpublished historical document that only Budd, Linda and I possessed; however given that the debunking has started up again, Budd, Linda and I now agree that there is no danger in publicly releasing Critique Rejected. The evidence I am presenting does not read like a traditional narrative or article, and at times it may seem repetitious. I also understand this is not necessarily an entertaining read, but I have made my peace with this. After all, cold, hard facts are normally not entertaining. My document Critique Rejected will help to
convey a more accurate understanding of the Linda Cortile case for
those who are interested. It will also indisputably demonstrate the
