UFO author battles woman for X files

NEW YORK, July 1 (UPI) -- A UFO expert says a New York woman is holding his X files hostage for $100,000 ransom.

Antonio Huneeus claims Esther Carroll of Staten Island reneged on a deal to sell back to him 160 boxes of his alien research and UFO photos for $6,000, according to a lawsuit filed in Staten Island Supreme Court.

Carroll bought the materials in May for $275 after Huneeus failed to pay his tab at a storage facility in Brooklyn. The files range from declassified documents to a campy photo of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton holding an alien infant, the New York Post reported.

Carroll upped her price to $100,000 after Huneeus paid her $4,000 with a promise of the remaining $2,000 once he inspected the files, the lawsuit said.

Carroll, 65, who lives on her Social Security benefits and resides in a trailer park, said she simply is "after the money." She relayed this message to Hunneus through the Post: "Give me your money, take your crap and go fight the UFO government."
