Captivated by an alien abduction tale

DURHAM, N.H. - They came in the dead of the New Hampshire night in 1961, or so the story goes, about a dozen, short, hairless humanoids who snatched a terrified Portsmouth couple into a hovering spacecraft for a very close encounter of the medical examination kind.

Alien abductionNothing would ever be the same for Betty and Barney Hill, a politically active, socially conscious couple who rocketed into the international spotlight with the first widely publicized tale of alien abduction.

Believe it or not, the weird thing in this article is not the subject of the alien abduction of Betty and Barney Hill - that has been thoroughly investigated over decades and is truly remarkable for many reasons, no matter what you think of the subject matter.

No, the weird thing is that after almost fifty years, for the very first time these people are being described as “a politically active, socially conscious couple.”

Maybe the ET’s are going to land, and Rahm Emmanuel wants to make the most of the crisis for the Dem spin machine.

I find it most suspect that aliens traveled light years to visit earth and happened to find an interracial couple in an area and time where that was rare. It just happens that they are both liberal democrats and active in politics. The year is 1961 and the civil rights movement is in its early years.

Betty Hill visited the Soviet Union later in her life and read far-left publications. Perhaps the answer to these riddles does not lie in the X files but in some buried KGB files.....

Most of us suspect Obama is an illegal alien. Maybe he’s just from somewhere more exotic than Kenya.
