What do you think about the Barney and Betty Hill abduction?

The only thing that seems strange is the stains on Betty's dress that cannot be identified. Otherwise, I would think that they were most likely beaten up for being an interracial couple in the 1960's and their brains manifested this alien abduction encounter to soften the blow.

What are your thoughts?

    I doubt they were beaten up. Barney was under a lot of stress with his job and his interracial marriage and Betty sounds like a little bit of a fruit loop.

    The dress was hung in her closet for years before the stains were tested, I suppose it depends as to where they sent it and what tests were actually done before we all go getting too excited about it.

    I don't for a second think they were really abducted by aliens.

    I actually studied this case. Betty and Barney Hill were driving through Lincoln, New Hampshire late at night. After they were released , they finished driving home. When they reported the abduction to the police, they were intensely questioned by the police. They showed no sign of deception. There is a store right at the spot where they were abducted. The store has a lot of newspaper articles and such hanging all over the store. They also have a copy of the map Betty drew showing a star system she could not have known about. The store happens to be a customer of the grocery wholesaler I work for so I have delivered there several times.The people who live in that area are very unlikely to beat anyone up. It is a rural area.

    Here are my guesses concerning the truth about Betty & Barney Hill.

    1.) I think that they were both just a pair of typical mentally screwed up people who intermarried and then tried to get attention from others because they were a mixed couple.

    2.) The aliens who abducted them did this to send the rest of us THE message that as far as abductions go, race is unimportant. Grey aliens will abduct anyone and anal probe them regardless of that person's race.

    3.) The hate group Aryan Nations came up with this clever idea to deal with dreadful race mixers. They dressed themselves up as Grey aliens, built a U.F.O. and then decided to go around abducting and bullying mixed couples. Then that way when the mixed couple runs to the police and tells them that aliens abducted them and Seig Heil'd them, the police will just think they're insane.

    4.) Grey aliens are just color blind like the rest of us, and will abduct anyone they can find since race doesnt matter.

    Their reviews have been written up interior the e book, The Interrupted experience via John G. Fuller. The Hills have been on their before domicile in New Hampshire and observed unusual lighting fixtures interior the sky. Barney have been given out to look at and that become the final ingredient they remembered formerly finding themselves approximately 30 miles from the place they have been and having lost countless hours. After countless years one in all all of them started having nightmares and that they underwent regressive hypnosis and all promptly remembered those little unusual gray adult adult males with huge black eyes and a saucer -shaped merchandise, being taken aboard and having all kinds of experiments performed on them formerly they have been enable bypass. It become between the 1st and maximum appreciably publicized alien abduction circumstances.

    I wrote a paper in my college physics class which looked at the star map Betty drew under hypnosis. At the beginning of their horrorifying experience Barney was indeed frightened the lights they saw were hostile whites out to get him and his wife, but he was sedated and Betty was basically left alone to be examined, then given a map of the routes the aliens from Zeta Reticuli usually travelled. It was a star map that a simple social worker could never have made up and drawn since she didn't have the education and more significantly, at that time some of the major star catalogs were erroneous and her map was 100% accurate. Today it might have been done by a super-computer but back in the 60s it could have only come from someone who had been in space-- like the little grey men who abductd the Hills. Your opinion is fairly...stupid. That's my thougfht.
