A Manhattan housewife, a 12th-floor apartment, and a beam of blue light. It’s not the opening scene of a Nora Ephron rom-com, but rather the alleged circumstances surrounding Linda Napolitano’s claimed alien abduction in 1989. Netflix’s new docuseries, The Manhattan Alien Abduction, aims to examine this event.
Did Napolitano genuinely experience an extraterrestrial encounter, or is her story an elaborate fabrication? The series, from the UK’s Story Films, sets out to uncover the truth, exploring whether this is a genuine ufology mystery or just another case of internet-fueled speculation run amok.
One suspects the series will lean towards the latter, but perhaps there are surprising twists and turns ahead. Will we see compelling evidence, or just grainy photos and dubious eyewitness accounts?
The Manhattan Alien Abduction premieres Wednesday, October 30, 2024, at 3:01 AM on Netflix.
