Fifty years ago Betty and Barney Hill had an encounter that would put them in the history books.
The hills had been driving in New Hampshire's White Mountains area when they witnessed a cigar-shaped craft above them. When they got home they realised that they were missing two hours, it wasn't until they later underwent hypnosis that they recalled being brought aboard the craft by its allegedly extraterrestrial occupants.
Fifty years after Betty and Barney Hill reported seeing a flat, cigar-shaped craft hovering over them in New Hampshire's White Mountains, the state has put up a historical marker noting their close encounter with a UFO.

Its obviously not proof of anything, but my interest is in the psychology that went on. Would like to know why they said they were abducted.

There is very high strangeness in this case, time period, interracial, Barney didnt want to draw any attention to himself due to his high profile job etc. Thing is say a advanced civilization thats studying us picks up someone,they are immobilized, examined and it is over. the only evidence would be another person reporting it because they arent putting you back with any souvenirs! Its just to odd that all over the world these bug eye greys are seen doing this. This was in the 60s, no internet, no openness, etc. The evidence is here and a ton of it only its the biggest threat to religion, govt... [More]

Just in time for the 50th anniversary of the reported UFO kidnapping of Betty and Barney Hill in New Hampshire, Zabel, a former chairman of the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (the organization that produces the Primetime Emmy Awards), has announced his intent to make the definitive movie about the Hills' experience.The film will be based on the book "Captured! The Betty and Barney Hill UFO Experience" by Stanton Friedman and Kathleen Marden. HuffPost article I have to watch the Sagan vid that Boony posted above, but these two star maps look pretty darn close to me!

What really blows my mind about the Hill case is the star map that Betty drew. She did a drawing of a planetary system (which included the Zeti Reticuli binary star group) that had not yet been discovered by scientist at the time. How’s that for proof? The many problems with this case were covered here a few months ago. The problem with the star map is that space is three dimensions so why were these advanced aliens navigating with space maps on flat pieces of paper? Could they not afford computers? I can draw any random combination of dots on a piece of paper and with some work, I will find... [More]

We could all draw a star map and enter them here and then we could match up all of them ,remember Space is really Big ! Mind Boggling Big !

No matter how incredible the Hill abduction case is, the first well-publicized case of its kind indeed is truthful and contains a wide array of astronomical information, though wouldn't be great for Betty or Barney Hill to bring back any physical evidence. I'm familiar with their story due to my interest in UFOs and Aliens, the problem is before the 1960's anyone claimed to been taken aboard a spacecraft are scoffed off and treated like they were crazy. Alien abductions are a serious matter when over 5 percent of the U.S. population (about 1.5 million) could been abducted sometimes in their li... [More]
