Betty and Barney Hill UFO collection opens Friday at UNH

As Portsmouth resident Betty Hill drove her mother home on Route 108 at 8 p.m. Sept. 7, 1977, she saw large red and green lights on what she believed to be a UFO as she neared Trickling Falls in East Kingston. Later as she was driving home, she saw another UFO with red and green lights following railroad tracks near Route 107.

Betty Hill's report of a UFO sighting is one of thousands she catalogued during her lifetime after she and her husband, Barney Hill, became known internationally for reporting they had been abducted by aliens in 1961 in New Hampshire's White Mountains.

The University of New Hampshire will host a public forum and celebrate the opening of the Betty and Barney Hill Collection exhibition Friday, April 17, 2009. The forum and exhibition highlight the couple's reported alien abduction in 1961, and Barney Hill's civil rights activism in New Hampshire in the 1960s.

The public forum, "Betty and Barney Hill: Tales of Alien Abduction and Civil Rights Activism in New Hampshire," begins at 1 p.m. in the Memorial Union Building, Room 334/336.

Following the forum, UNH celebrates the opening of the Betty and Barney Hill Collection exhibition with a reception at 3:30 p.m. in Milne Special Collections and Archives and The University Museum, Dimond Library, Level 1. All events are free and open to the public.

So if you get abducted by aliens you become socialist activists! So much for friendly aliens!

What? You mean there are some people that are skeptical about their story? Say it ain't so.

My favorite part was when James Earl Jones and Estelle Parsons smoke a dube with the ‘grays’.

Heheh...well, that's the 60's for you.

Nothing like a good smoke after an anal probe!

I thought that show was excellent!

Particularly when they were recalling the event under hypnosis. Scary stuff!

Here's a link to a skeptics evaluation of Benny Hill.

Although in the 1980 there was a hoax saying that Mr Hill ws DEAD, it is no longer a Hoax as Mr. Hill is now dead.

LMAO! The UFO’s have navigation lights. I’ll bet the red was on the port side, the green on the starboard, also.

Friggin UFO kooks.

Anger? LMAO! No, it’s a “Geez, those UFO people are screwy. WOW!” kind of comment.

You are learning, grasshoppa.

I equate UFO kooks with the unwashed anit-war neohippy types. Same mindset on different subjects. Do they anger me? Nope! Stupid people like that aren’t worth the emotion.

I believe there may be intelligent life in the universe (not necessarily here).

I don't believe that any human has a handle on it. Any species that figured out how to navigate the great distances between solar systems without violating its laws, has figured out how to be stealthful about it.

And they don’t require red & green nav lights, i’d bet.

THATS CRAZY TALK!!!

I have it on good accord that not only do they have the red and green lights up front, but a white light in the stern and when they return to Betelgeuse they know that the proper configuration of the buoys are "RED, RIGHT, RETURN".

‘Stupid people like that aren’t worth the emotion.’

Then why do you waste the time and effort to click on the thread and post stupid comments?
