The following came in the mail today on a 5.25 disk and contained this ascii file. It is the final report on the investigation of the Hopkins Linda Napolitano case by George Hansen, Joe Stefula and Rich Butler. Other than some re-formatting of the text to fit the echoes here, it's included in full. Unfortunately, the text is very large so I've broken it down into 15 parts with an average line length of 88 lines for the benefit of those who use off-line message readers. For those interested in doing some follow-up, addresses and phone numbers are included in the text of the investigators. I've already spoken with Joe Stefula and George Hansen on this case and would suggest you do likewise if you have further questions.

Since this is somewhat of a major event, this text will be forwarded to ALL the UFO echoes. I will leave it to you to form your own opinion.

Re: Budd Hopkins' case of the abduction of Linda Napolitano

Enclosed is our report on the much acclaimed case of the UFO abduction of Linda Napolitano. We invite your comments.

Hopkins' claims have generated enormous publicity and have been mentioned in the New York Times, Omni, the Wall Street Journal, and Paris Match, among others. As such, this case is likely to have a substantial impact on the field of ufology.

Leadership in both the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) and the J. Allen Hynek Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS) aggressively opposed our investigation, and both previously refused to publish our criticisms. This raises grave questions about the scientific and journalistic integrity of MUFON and CUFOS.

Those organizations have many members, and we are unable to provide more than a few copies of this paper to others. We ask you to help us with the distribution. Please feel free to make copies of this article, post it on electronic bulletin boards, and print it in periodicals.
