Betty Hill 1919-2004
Barney Hill 1921-1969

The University of New Hampshire today is hosting a public forum surrounding a new exhibition called the "Betty and Barney Hill Collection." The Hills were an interracial couple in the 1960s, and the exhibit discusses Barney Hill's civil rights activism. However, the couple is best known for giving the first reported incident of an alleged alien abduction in America. Today, due to television shows and films, the scenario is familiar:
UFOs chase down terrified witnesses on a desolate road and take them onto the spaceship to ask them questions or probe them in awkward places. It began one night when Barney and Betty Hill claimed they were pursued by a glowing UFO through parts of New Hampshire. Betty soon had vivid nightmares (which she interpreted as fragmented memories) about the incident, and the couple came to believe that they had been abducted by the UFO's occupants, who then erased their memories. The couple sought the help of a psychiatrist, and under hypnosis both Hills soon reported full-blown, detailed "repressed memories" of their abduction.

You’ve got the right two people together!
I certainly don’t know about abductions and all that. But a lot of stories are similar.
And with probing different areas, a lot of stories focus on the reproductive system. Aliens apparently like to harvest sperm and egg cells, for who knows what purpose.
They take blood and tissue samples, as they are so curious about earthlings and want to study us.
PINGING........
I think being abducted by aliens would be kind of cool. But I would draw the line at being “probed”.
Folks are asking; "What do we do after the Tea Parties?"
I am (and have been) taking individual action.
Everywhere I go I carry loose tea bags. I leave one behind. At the bank, on the train, at the gas pump, at the library, especially at Borders Books.
I have left over a hundred so far. My favorite was a teabag looped over the ears of a life-sized cardboard figure of TOTUS in Union Station in DC. I pulled back and watched the reactions of passers-by. People do notice...and that is the point.
If hundreds of us did this (or thousands) in every state we could make it a "Kilroy Was Here" legend and drive the commie bastards crazy.
Teabags hung on POTUS ears; a good idea. Cheap and effective, and easy to do.
I don’t completely dismiss the idea of UFO’s being space ships tho I think it very unlikely.
On the other hand, alien abductions are the pure lunatic fringe.
/for later
Thanks, Will try and check it out more when I get home.
Dr Qx is at the college for one of those end of semester meet n greet horse’s ovaries things.
I’m not sure which is more entertaining — the claims of alien abduction — or the inevitable efforts to prove or disprove them. :)
That is the best mixing of two threads - EVER!!
Indeed...the entire US has been abducted by an alien
Repressed memories are a dicey subject - everything from genuine incidents to wild fantasy can come up as a ‘repressed memory.’
I wouldn’t place much faith in findings that come from hypnosis, without some physical, corroborating evidence.
