The Betty and Barney Hill Abduction 1961

[WhiteFeather]

I am truly Fascinated To Say The Least With This Subject: The Abduction of Betty and Barney Hill of 1961.

I will be posting Links and Videos in my research to this incredible abduction of the above mentioned. I will be glad to have full participation/insights on this thread. It will be exciting to say the least! Here we go.

The Story:
On September 19, 1961 on US Route 3 near the village of Lancaster. Barney and Betty Hill of Portsmouth, New Hampshire were traveling home after a vacation in Canada when they saw a moving light in the sky. Every now and then they would stop and check on the unusual light that seemed to "fly" an erratic course. They drove on towards the White Mountains, noting that the object was now much larger and following a parallel course to their car.

Approaching Indian Head, the light appeared directly ahead of them Barney Hill left the engine running and got out of the car to observe the strange object with a pair of binoculars. He observed what he described as "5 to 11 figures moving behind a double row of windows".

Betty Hill, who was observing her husband from her side of the car, heard her husband repeating, "I don't believe it! I don't believe it! This is ridiculous!" She, however, was unable to see the figures or the descent of the UFO. The object was now approximately 70-feet overhead and about 100-feet distant when Barney Hill ran back to the car exclaiming, "They are going to capture us!". He got back in the car and drove away at a 'break-neck' speed.

During this time Betty Hill was still unable to see the object but her husband thought that it was directly over the car. They heard a loud beeping noise, similar to the sound of a "tuning fork", and then they felt very drowsy. When they awoke, they found themselves driving near Ashland, two hours later. Ashland is 35- miles south of Indian Head, a twenty or thirty minute drive. They continued their drive home, feeling somewhat uneasy and confused about their missing two hours.

The next day they reported their experience to officials at Pease Air Force Base. A few days later, an investigator from the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP) documented both of their stories.

Their experience was far from over. Within ten days of the incident, Betty Hill began having recurring nightmares in which 8 to 11 "men" would stand in the middle of the road and stop the Hills' car. They would then be led into a disk-shaped craft and examined.

Samples of hair and skin would be taken. Continued anxiety led both of the Hills to seek the help of Dr. Benjamin Simon, a Boston psychiatrist who specialized in treating personality disorders and amnesia through hypnotherapy, which was becoming popular.

Their treatment lasted for six months. With time regression hypnosis, many details of their encounter were revealed. The detail in which both Hills described their abductors and the subsequent examination matched closely to each other as well as to Betty Hill's nightmares. Betty Hill, under posthypnotic suggestion, was able to draw a "star map" detailing the origin of the alien abductors. The amazing configuration of Betty's map was not to be realized for some years.

An astronomical investigation, based on information that was not available in 1961, produced a controversial match between Betty's "star map" and a cluster of previously unknown stars near two stars called Zeta Reticuli.

Great post WhiteFeather. I always found their story fascinating. Thanks for the videos.

[Heyoka_11]

Great post Bro. This is the one that, I believe, started the whole abduction movement. They can hardly be accused of jumping on the band wagon.

Great Info From Wiki
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betty_and_Barney_Hill_abduction

[kathymarie]

I was 8 years old when this happened...I remember seeing a news report and being totally dumbstruck. Then a few years later the movie of their experience came out with James Earl Jones starring as Barney Hill....wonder if that old movie is still available. I do remember thinking at the time that the real meat of the story probably wasn't told . Thanks for the post and the jog of the old memory.

I remember the movie as well, think it was called The Interrupted Journey.... the book was called that, it was by John Fuller (or was it called the UFO Incident?) I believe you might be able to find the movie on youtube.

[ndroock1]

I can only say to those who are regularly abducted: do everything you can to return with -physical- evidence. Pictures of the aliens (if necessary use body-implanted cameras. ) but best of all artifacts from the ship(s). - I am so tired of having to go on stories alone. It is time for physical evidence.

[WhiteFeather]

I totally am convinced this Abduction occured myself. My intuition, may not be yours.

[mahalall]

Argh bless them,

I'm usually open and sensitive to such incidents.

However what came up for me whilst listening, is that all seemed to be spin on spin, almost an inspired Martin Bormann-M.K Ultra staged event. haha, I Know it's giving these type of cruel earthlings to much credit to undertake such an event and maybe I'm having a excessive politically paranoid moment but if you can detach yourself and examine the events from such a perspective it does give a new insight into the phenomena.

Re: The Lost Betty Hill Interview

First I want to thank you here for posting this series. I remember quite a few years ago reading the book about Betty and Barney Hill. It was nice to finally sit down and watch this video series.
Must have been close to 30 years ago when I read that book.

While listening to the :The Lost Betty Hill Interview: ....I can't help but notice the interviewer is actually being a bit of a skeptic. I have to give Betty Hill credit, for what I can clearly see, as putting herself in the media for attack.

My heart goes out to Betty.
I know in most cases, just to point out most facts to non-believers with direct evidence can cause a barrage of attacks and insults, one can only imagine the hell that woman went through....trying to convey her experience.

Exactly, and well spoken concept. My gratitude.

[Flash]

Thank you Whitefeather for your introduction to the video, very well explained and interesting. We know what we are getting in. These kind of introduction give more quality and credibility to this forum.

I am very tired of dumping in of videos without anything telling us if we should listen, or crooked false adervtising titles.

Thank you again.

[Mark]

This is very true, this is the story that forms the basis of the entire narrative. As stated in the video, this is the first official abduction story of the modern age. The pervasiveness of this phenomenon is quite understated, whether wholly physical, astral or some combination of the both, there is a very real and almost subconscious recognition of its validity. I personally believe what Credo Mutwa and others state regarding the presence of both the Greys and Reptilians upon and within the earth .. that they have been here at least as long as modern humanity has in multiple forms of civilization and so really can't be considered as alien to the planet.

[Aryslan]

One of the things I'm curious about, is why do we never hear from Mr. Hill? It would seem, in the telling of the story, that he is quite involved in the first stages of the abduction. Once they are aboard the craft, however, he just sort of drops out of the story.

Does Mrs. Hill ever make mention of him (other than a casual 'he was taken to another room') beyond the initial stages of the incident in any of her interviews? Obviously he didn't want the media attention that his wife got, as everything I see is Mrs. Hill speaking.

He died in 1969 of a cerebral hemmorage.

[Aryslan]

I see, thanks!

[WhiteFeather]

Thank You All for the overwhelming response. Alot of positive feedback on this thread/subject as i have predicted so. It truly is a great story behind Betty and Barney Hill. We want to believe and Betty and Barney takes us there in soft baby steps.

[ouporblowup]

I am pretty sure there is another version of the story where Barney tells of seing a white Arian man onboard the ship who was speaking German

which would be pretty strange unless you remember 200,000 nazis ( scientists n such ) disapeared at the end of the war, and reports of these german speaking " ETS "

have slipped through the cracks


ooo

[Lifebringer]

I remember this. I watched it on CBS during the late 60's. I believe disclosure was still trying to happen then. They thought the shock of Kennedy, would disuade us from the truth seeking behind the subject. They tried to redicule them based on their mixed relationship, and other phychological babble of skeptics. But from the moment she and he told of their experience, I believed they went throughit. I was 9 at the time, and at 21, I saw my first one with at least 30 other party members at a barbeque for my birthday. Silent coast of 200 feet over head. I'm serious, it was just barely over the top of the trees, like 10 stories and very large about the size of a football field. It went over top of my children's school and later was picked up by Kennedy Air Force base.

[Wockey]

Ahh - originally from Operation Blue Book...

[dark skies]

White Feather thank for posting, Ive always been interested in the case and had never seen the missing interview till now

I think this is the movie you're looking for:

[New Dawn]

Thanks for posting all of this. I'm definitely not new to this case, but for anyone that is, its pretty much the best piece of proof that there's something to this (yes yes Roswell too of course!!) I would be totally in shock if this case turned out to be fake - it just can't be.

R.I.P Betty and Barney

[BestLion]

This case has been debunked. Mrs Hill was into aliens and read books seen movies ect..she more less forced her husband into all this nonsense. I use to buy this and the Billy Meier case, but I have debunked them both as hoaxes.
I don't buy into anymore the UFO -spaceships, alien abduction stuff anymore.
Anyone who makes a claim of a UFO-disk shaped object I am instantly turned off by it now.
Why? From my study of ancient cultures and civilizations 'which i have spent half my life in a hobby of study. I have found that in folklore, writing that alines do not come here via ships, but via other dimensions. if ships, then those ships have been manufactured here on earth.

[alienHunter]

Never heard that one...

I value your opinion on this subject with regards to UFO's BestLion, and since your into ancient cultures, i would like to hear your perspective/insight on The Nazcal Lines, if you will. PS Metal fragments that were recovered from The Roswell Crash in 1947 in The New Mexico Desert were found not to be of this Earth, can you give a perspective on that as well. Here is a credible link I'm adding. http://www.openminds.tv/test-confirms-roswell-debris-733/

I have said that the space craft- objects were created here. In ancient cultures their are many wall paintings of crafts.Many of the pilots are humans when the paintings places a being in the craft. I also believe the ancient cultures like Atlantis were highly developed!! And had flight..and the object like the Nazcal lines were made of this civilization. "Not extraterrestrial"
The Roswell crash is a story of itself, you either buy into it or you don't..Their are many camps that claim it is a hoax or a Nazi craft...The alien autopsy video and alien pics have been proven as frauds.
Now I do want to clear up something..if a UFO craft does come to earth I feel the only ones that would are from our solar system..Not from other galaxies. Thus if Rosewell was real..which i have my doubts on. Then those Ets were on a base in some other place in our solar system.

[WhiteFeather]

I agree with you somewhat on The ancient culture theory, but do not resonate with you on your Roswell Perspective not a tad. Have you viewed the link i sent in the above post with respect to Roswell?

I just now read that site. Hnmmm..interesting on the metal samples. I am on the fence with the Roswell case... but even if it is an unknown metal does not really mean it is no earth-like..Ancient cultures could have mixed metals to such an extent as to change its composition..or the metal could be from an area on earth that is now say in the arctic. lots of questions. or the metal could have come from say Mars. it appear via history and folklore-religious writing of the past that life once was present on mars..and the entire Cydonia thing and tunnels could make this case as a fact. Some even claim mars still has aliens living on it in underground tunnels..
So lets say the Rosewell craft was real, and was not from earth, that does not say it was not made in our solar system. Many people 'whom I feel have some credentials" who have had contacts claim the greys were made in our solar system..if those were the aliens who were found in 1947 in Rosewell.

You may enjoy reading "The Day After Roswell" by Col. Philip Corso. He wrote this book around 1997 and was responsible, in the early 1960's when he worked in the Pentagon, for putting together the scientists, military, etc. who performed the reverse-engineering on the craft that landed in 1947. The book is full of tremendous detail, names of all the military and pentagon personnel involved and answers lots of questions as to who was responsible for the work. The book does not address whether the craft was inter-dimensional or off-world, but that was not the purpose of the book. If you have any interest in the Roswell affair, this is the best book I have read on the subject.

After years of study on the subject I feel the more I Know the less I Know. Most important to me is to keep an open mind to all possibilities,read between the lines ...

You are from Ukraine, There is surely many many stories in Ukraine and Russia,, in fact in the ex USSR countries, that might be about aliens and anything we may think of. I heard that Russians were very much into mental powers studies as well.

Although I know that lots of what we hear on both sides of the planet may be hoax, some may be worthwile to hear and read. Anything you have come across in your years of studies that may be interesting to us Westerners, that we may not know yet? Alien or otherwise?

[mojo]

I've been having much thought over the word, 'abduction' and would love to know others viewpoints. It appears that Barney was abducted, whereas Betty went along with them. The Travis Walton case and other cases that start with abduction seem to be negative experience whereas other cases CE5 (human initiated ones) do not seem negative. What is the view that a benevolent species would abduct? And Betty Hill's case seems slightly different if you consider it abduction.

[BestLion]

What is the view that a benevolent species would abduct?
Thier is one guy who slips my mind now in a Interview on Project Camelot who claimed all aliens are benevolent..and this more less lead to a debate on that show..ahhh Dr Steven Greer was the guy.
If we study all ancient culture, traditions, folklore..We will find that those who come..are NOT always benevolent. They have sex with humans, mess with human destiny, rule humans, have enslaved humans "the Sumerian Annunakis"
This man Greer needs to study some of history, culture and religions of those times. He will NOT be making such bold claims that they are higher spiritually.
The Annunaki had a caste system. And they also did forced labor in gold mines. Now archeologist have found 10,000+ old mines in South African mountains, and in the earth, one mine goes as deep at 20,000 feet. These mines were build with highly advanced tools. Read some of Michael Tellinger stuff..do a google video search he is on Coast to Coast and talks about this.

I watched The Lost Betty Hill Interview and was very surprised by what Betty Hill had to say. It was a great interview, although I wished the interviewer wouldn't interrupt her as much as he did. Some interesting information may have been lost as a result.

However, I had never heard before about the alien metal fragments that will melt/dissolve in water. Also, her photographs at the end were interesting, as well as her observations after having UFO encounters for years. I had not known of her long term involvement and study of UFOs after her initial encounter (which she did not consider to be an abduction for herself) and the interview was too short to cover all her experiences, but there were so many glimpses of other interesting encounters.

She mentioned, and showed, her book A Common Sense Approach to UFOs

http://www.amazon.com/A-common-sense-approach-UFOs/dp/0964824302/ref=sr_tc_2_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1401205673&sr=1-2-ent

Which, unfortunately, the lowest priced copy is at $94, with only 25 various copies available at this time at that high price. It appears to have been self-published, or only a small run published, or both. Listening to her interview, what is in the book may be interesting.

I think the lost interview, if I remember correctly, was done in 1999, was found in 2009, but that Betty Hill passed away in 2004, her obituary:


Betty Hill, 85, Figure in Alien Abduction Case, Dies
By MARGALIT FOX

Published: October 23, 2004

Associated Press
Betty and Barney Hill in September 1966. Their account of abduction by otherworldly aliens was seminal for many books and movies.


Betty Hill, whose assertion that she was carried off by otherworldly beings in 1961 inspired a national obsession with alien abduction that remains a staple of American popular culture, died on Sunday at her home in Portsmouth, N.H. She was 85.

The cause was lung cancer, her niece Kathleen Marden said.

Mrs. Hill was not the first person to tell of an alien encounter. But her account was the first to capture the public imagination on a grand scale, defining a narrative subgenre that has flourished in the decades since.

Mrs. Hill's account was the subject of a book by John G. Fuller, "The Interrupted Journey: Two Lost Hours 'Aboard a Flying Saucer' " (Dial, 1966). In 1975 it became a television movie, "The UFO Incident." The film starred Estelle Parsons as Mrs. Hill and James Earl Jones as her husband, Barney, who also said he was abducted.

The incident, the Hills said, occurred on the night of Sept. 19, 1961. Driving in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, they saw a light that seemed to grow larger and larger. Back home, they found what appeared to be shiny spots on the car's exterior. They could not account for a two-hour segment of their trip.

The Hills later saw a psychiatrist, who put them under hypnosis. Gradually, a narrative of the couple's lost hours emerged. They recounted many times that a group of short gray-skinned beings stopped their car and took them aboard a waiting spaceship. There, the Hills said, they were subjected to rigorous medical examinations that included inserting a long needle into Mrs. Hill's navel.

The account fit squarely in the Western narrative tradition. With a dark night, ghostly apparitions and sexual undercurrent, it had many Victorian gothic hallmarks, and it shared the common Western folklore theme of being spirited off and ravished by an otherworldly creature.

In the Hills' account, these traditional elements were transplanted to a modern but no less anxious time, the height of the cold war, when many people gazed nervously skyward.

"It's not unlike the Leda and the swan myth," said Terry Matheson, a professor of English at the University of Saskatchewan and the author of "Alien Abductions: Creating a Modern Phenomenon" (Prometheus, 1998). "The alien comes in, probes women in a distinctly sexual way for purposes that are equally inscrutable, but which may, we're told, make sense down the road."

Mrs. Hill was born Eunice Elizabeth Barrett on June 28, 1919, in Newton, N.H. A graduate of the University of New Hampshire, she was a social worker for many years. Besides her niece, survivors include three sisters, two children and three grandchildren. Mr. Hill died in 1969.

The Hills' cultural legacy includes films ("Close Encounters of the Third Kind"), television programs ("Roswell") and books, like those by Whitley Strieber and John Mack, that treat alien abduction as a plausible phenomenon.

Finding Betty Hill's obituary right after listening to her interview, it was ironic that in her own words from the interview that she stated there was nothing sexual in the examination she received, but in the middle of her obituary there was a quote alluding to a sexual motive. The obituary gone askew only made me more aware of all the misconceptions I had previously had of the Betty and Barney Hill incident, which were wiped away by listening to her intelligent and articulate interview.

The Lost Betty Hill Interview is broken into ten segments. If you haven't seen it yet, and are interested in the UFO phenomenon, please take the time to watch them.

It is a shame her book isn't more readily available, the price of the copies on the internet are too high and restrict the information.

I watched The Lost Betty Hill Interview and was very surprised by what Betty Hill had to say. It was a great interview, although I wished the interviewer wouldn't interrupt her as much as he did. Some interesting information may have been lost as a result.

However, I had never heard before about the alien metal fragments that will melt/dissolve in water. Also, her photographs at the end were interesting, as well as her observations after having UFO encounters for years. I had not known of her long term involvement and study of UFOs after her initial encounter (which she did not consider to be an abduction for herself) and the interview was too short to cover all her experiences, but there were so many glimpses of other interesting encounters.

She mentioned, and showed, her book A Common Sense Approach to UFOs

Which, unfortunately, the lowest priced copy is at $94, with only 25 various copies available at this time at that high price. It appears to have been self-published, or only a small run published, or both. Listening to her interview, what is in the book may be interesting.
There is more on her book, and a (perhaps still valid, I don't know) source for a copy at a reasonable price from the publisher, at http://mcadams.posc.mu.edu/weberman/betty.html

The sad part is all of the "extra" details are not told openly. Abductions run their family but are not discussed openly.
