"The Why Files" contends that believers in this saga being mostly rooted in proveable truth, are tied with so-called debunkers, as it pertains to the probability of this case being a hoax. The witnesses and the preponderance of the surrounding evidence alone disproves this contention. Furthermore, Linda's honesty is not an "all of it is true" or "none of it is true" situation. This is a false dichotomy created by "The Why Files" host in many videos. I'm an (diplomaed in paranormal studies) expert, pretty much as anybody can. I say that to say this.
There are plenty of well-documented good paranormal cases that involve real experiencers that end up hoaxing things later to keep the attention and money flowing. Humans are strange beings. As Joe Rogan once put it, people are essentially monkeys who like to think they aren't monkeys and also lie a lot. People like money, people lie, people embellish, and nutty people have real paranormal happenings in their life too. But the case that this was a legit incident, is still strong.
The 23 witnesses that are on the public record in the Linda Cortile UFO abduction case were introduced incrementally at random dates and times over a total period of 27 years. There was a 14 year interval between the introduction of the first witness and the second witness. There was a 17 month interval between the introduction of the nineteenth witness and the twentieth witness. There was a 6 year interval between the introduction of the twentieth witness and the twenty-first witness.For those who contend that the Linda Cortile case must be a hoax, a fraudulent scheme crafted and perpetrated to get rich quick, why were the witnesses introduced into the case incrementally at random dates and times, with yearlong gaps in between some introductions, over a painstakingly slow period of 27 years?...This website has been built primarily as a consolidation of publicly released information and evidence about the Linda

Remember, Hopkins wrote just a few handful of books, but worked with at least 300 abductees, many over and over regularly over the course of a great while. He picked the cases he found most convincing and substantiated from that large sample. Especially if one, like the Why Files host, accepts the possibility of the reality of alien abductions, then ask yourself why this respected researcher would put forward any hoax among that group if case files that surely contains plenty, arguably the vast majority, of real deal abductees.Lastly, it is admitted that essentially everybody told The Why Files Files host that Hopkins a top notch UFO investigator and intellectual. So, claiming that Hopkins wasn't a careful researcher conflicts with the general consensus for a reason probably. The majority of well-respected UFO researchers think very highly of Hopkins' investigative skills, as do I. In other words, the consensus among those who the larger consensus says are the top tier experts, is that Hopkins was a respectable sleuth, but there is fuckery afoot with this case so it is admittedly tainted. Mysterious Universe has a fair take on this case, admitting the lies, but not denying the good evidence that does exist...
