1961 UAP Cases

Betty and Barney Hill Abduction — New Hampshire 1961

The first widely-publicized alleged abduction case to undergo sustained scientific and psychiatric investigation. Betty and Barney Hill observed a disc-shaped craft that paced their car on US Route 3, and experienced a two-hour gap in memory. Under hypnotic regression conducted by Boston psychiatrist Dr. Benjamin Simon, both independently described similar medical examination scenarios aboard the craft. Betty Hill produced a hand-drawn star map that amateur astronomer Marjorie Fish later claimed matched the Zeta Reticuli system.
