" She claimed to have been levitated out of her apartment window and taken aboard an alien spacecraft. This incredible story was later explored in a book by UFO researcher Budd Hopkins.

The docuseries dives into Napolitano's account, including her claim that she had witnesses. Some people alleged they saw her floating in the sky, though their identities were not fully disclosed. Napolitano also presented an X-ray showing a metal implant she alleges was placed by aliens. However, there are doubts about her story. The widow of Budd Hopkins, Carol Rainey, questions the authenticity of Napolitano's account. Rainey suggests that Napolitano might have coached her son to support her narrative.

She claims that Netflix portrayed her unfairly and that the show damaged her reputation. The lawsuit adds another layer of intrigue to an already extraordinary story.
