    Episode 162: The Manhattan Alien Abduction
    Jan 21 2026

    Thousands have reported alien sightings over the years… but few have gained as much notoriety as this one. On the evening of November 30th, 1989, Linda Napolitano would claim she was abducted by aliens from her 12th floor lower Manhattan apartment. In 2024, Netflix released a 3 part series analyzing the evidence and the scrutiny. Linda maintains her story to this day. So the question is… was this unbelievable event an elaborate hoax, or proof of alien life?


    This is the story of Linda Napolitano and the Manhattan Alien Abduction.
