Roster / Experiencers and claimants

Betty Hill

Social worker, abduction account · 1919 to 2004

With her husband Barney, gave the first widely known abduction account, from 1961.

Betty and Barney Hill said that on September 19, 1961, driving home through New Hampshire's White Mountains, they saw a craft and lost about two hours. Under hypnosis with Boston psychiatrist Benjamin Simon, they described being taken aboard and examined.

Betty drew a star map she said she was shown on the craft. The case became the 1966 book The Interrupted Journey by John Fuller, and her papers are at the University of New Hampshire.
