Speaker 1 (00:00):
On September six, Betty and Barney Hill cut their vacation
short and decided to drive home. They were having difficulty
finding their way around the city, and Barney decided he
just wanted to drive home, knowing that they would arrive
at their home on New Hampshire Sea Coast at about
two o'clock in the morning. What they saw that night

(00:21):
in the New Hampshire sky would change everything. I began
walking across the highway, looking up at the object with
the binoculars, putting them down, taking my head, saying, well,
this can't be true. I don't believe it. A light
in the sky. At first, she thought of a falling star,
but she realized that falling stars don't fall upwards, and

(00:44):
Hills would undergo hypnosis. And how by did you regress that? People?

The car walked back because I think, well, I can't
get away for this. I guess if I get the

card or like a brother the wits of Hide that
became known the world over. Doctor Simond gave me a
post tepnotic suggestion. He said, if I wanted to, I
could sketch the style map, but if I didn't want it,
I didn't have to. So about two weeks later I
sketched it. Their account has been scrutinized under the influence

(01:25):
of hypnosis, especially if you're highly hypnotize able, you are
even more susceptible to contamination and distortion by scientists, skeptics, theorists,
and believers. He wound up building a total of more
than twenty three dimensional models and was able to find

(01:46):
one and only one pattern that matched what Betty had drawn.
What happened on that night journey in nine? Were the
Hills confused about what they saw? Or did they have
an encounter with beings not of this world? For My
