The Brooklyn Bridge UFO Abduction | The Weirdest Story You'll Ever Hear

Nov 30, 1989, just after 3 AM. New York City. Janet Kimball was driving over the Brooklyn Bridge when her car stalled and slowly rolled to a stop.

After a couple of failed attempts to get the car started, Janet was hit by a bright light. Bright enough that she had to shield her eyes. 

The light was coming from an apartment building. Janet thought maybe someone was shooting a movie. Not unusual in New York City. 

Then she saw that the light was coming from a saucer-shaped craft hovering *above* the building. OK, it's a science fiction movie, Janet thought.

But it wasn't a movie. This was happening for real.

As Janet's eyes adjusted to the brightness, she saw something levitating in the light. Objects floating up to the saucer.

When she focused, she realized they weren't objects. They were people.

Well, one of them was.

In an instant, the light went out, and the saucer plunged into the East River.

There were 23 eyewitnesses to this event, including one of the highest-ranking politicians in the world.

And people being transported to a UFO by a beam of light in the middle of New York City? That isn't the weirdest part of the story.
