I remember this story! Carl Sagan even talked about it in the "Cosmos" series.

I doubt she's dead, just abducted again...
Cosmos was fiction.

I met her in 1976. Quite a character.
To: Momaw Nadon
They were a very nice couple and this was the grandaddy of abduction stories, and definitely the one I was inclined to believe. Betty Hill even appeared on either Meet The Press (I think) or Face The Nation. The book is The Interrupted Journey, very spooky and believable.
But more recently I stumbled upon a site that debunks UFO stories. I learned there for the first time some things that cast doubt on some of the best UFO stories. Betty and Barney Hill first drew images of aliens with long hair and long noses like Jimmy Durante. The classic oval shaped alien head evolved in their later hypnosis sessions. I also learned that Travis walton's family had a history of making false UFO reports. Finally, on the night of the Pacalooga dockside encounter, a toll booth security camera was pointed at the dock and showed nothing happened that night.
Any UFO buffs out there will know what I'm talking about.

"The Interupted Journey", the story of Betty and Barney Hill was the first book I read decades ago about UFOs. I remember as a kid, walking home after dark from basketball practice wondering if I might have "missing time" once I got home.
Shortly after I read it we had a UFO "flap" in my area with a lot of sightings. I figured it was just a matter of time when saucers would be landing on the White House lawn.

Add one or more votes to the Kerry column: here you have absolutely the perfect profile of a Democratic voter: dead and abducted by space aliens.

I was with my fiancee and we travled up to Eliot to stay at her grandmother's house for the weekend. When we got to the house her grandmother called from the porch and said had a guest, Betty Hill. Her grandmother was good friends of the Hills and had them over often.
We talked a bit and then Betty said she had to get going to catch the UFO's flying over Wells Maine at 8:15. Said they came fairly reguarly at that time. Betty Hill was not your run of the mill after dinner guest.

When I was young, I poured over this book. Just forever.
