In this episode, we unravel one of the most iconic and controversial UFO encounters in American history: the 1961 abduction of Betty and Barney Hill. Driving through the mountains of New Hampshire, the couple claimed they were taken aboard an extraterrestrial spacecraft in what would become the first widely publicized alien abduction case. We dive into the couple’s harrowing memories recovered under hypnosis, government investigations, and the social impact their story had. Were they truly visited by beings from another world—or was something else at play?
