Alien Lore No. 37: The Abduction Of Betty And Barney Hill


In 1964 it was revealed under hypnosis that Betty and Barney Hill had been the subjects of alien experiments. The Hills said that on the night of September 19th, 1961, while they were driving back to their home in Portsmouth, New Hampshire after a holiday in Canada. They were on U.S Route 3 and noticed a bright light near the moon that was growing in size. They stopped the car and viewed the object through binoculars for a better look, thinking it was an airplane. The Hills kept driving, but noticed the light was getting near. Approaching the White Mountains, the object now seemed to be on a parallel course to their car. They drove on, checking every now and then for the mysterious eerie light.

Near Indian Head, the UFO appeared directly in front of them. Leaving the engine running, Barney got out to look at the bright object. He viewed it through the binoculars and observed 5-11 humanoid figures moving behind a double row of windows. Betty remained in the car and heard her husband remark "I don't believe it! I don't believe it!" "This can't be happening!

The UFO was 70 feet overhead and only 100 feet distant. Betty screamed for him to get back in the car and Barney drove away fast. The Hills heard a 'beeping' noise. They became very drowsy and sleepy. Two hours later, in Ashland 35 miles south of Indian Head, they found themselves driving. Feeling anxious and puzzled about the missing two hours and the UFO, the continued home.

The next day they contacted the Pease Air Force Base and later the National investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP) in Washington, D.C. Investigators were sent to document their stories and soon after Betty began to have horrible nightmares. The incident played on both their minds for quite some time. Eventually they went and consulted Dr Benjamin Simon, a Boston psychiatrist who specialised in amnesia and personality disorders through the means of hypnotherapy. They were treated for six months which started in January of 1964. What they revealed under hypnosis was pretty much the same as in Betty's nightmares. A group of 8-10 individuals dressed in black matching uniforms with military style caps. Standing in front of the car and being told that they would not be harmed.

Brought aboard the UFO (although it would actually now be an Identified Flying object), they were examined, and samples of their hair and fingernails were taken.

Betty Hill asked one of the Greys where they were from. Under hypnosis, Betty drew a star-map. Not until several years later did a new investigation reveal data which was not available back in '61 showing a cluster of stars, near two newly discovered stars called Zeta Reticuli. Betty Hill's map proved extremely accurate, according to UFOlogists.
