The story of Betty and Barney Hill is perhaps the most famous alleged case of alien abduction that has ever been reported. On the evening of September 19, 1961, Betty and Barney Hill were driving back to their home in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, after a vacation in Niagara Falls. They saw an oddly shaped craft in the sky and stopped to get a better look. After continuing on down the road they claimed that the craft got closer and closer, eventually enveloping their car in a beam of light, at which point they entered an altered state of consciousness. When they came to realization, they had traveled about 35 miles south with only a vague memory of how they got there. When they got home, they realized their watches had stopped working and Betty’s dress had been stained with a pink powder of an unknown origin. Through hypnosis, the Hills recollected the encounter and Betty claimed to have asked the alien where they came from, and she was shown a star map. In 1961, the star map Betty drew showed no resemblance to any known area of space. In September of 2015, nearly 55 years later, a statistician claimed that the star map Betty drew closely matched The Zeta Reticuli system that wasn’t closely studied until the 1990s. Some believe that this new development proves The Hills’ story to be true, and if so, one of the only instances of known contact between humans and extraterrestrials.
