Eventually, Betty suggested they stop and try to get a better look at the object.
[0:03:03 - 0:03:08] ▶
Betty believed it was following them.
[0:03:39 - 0:03:42] ▶
At another stop, the object passed in front of the moon and Betty observed what she claimed
[0:03:42 - 0:03:47] ▶
puzzled Betty and, privately, Barney as well.
[0:04:25 - 0:04:30] ▶
Betty, who could see it better as Barney was driving, said the object now appeared to have
[0:05:12 - 0:05:16] ▶
Betty told Barney to stop the car and look.
[0:05:35 - 0:05:38] ▶
He began walking towards it, while Betty remained in the car.
[0:06:19 - 0:06:24] ▶
Betty started calling out to him, but he did not hear her.
[0:06:43 - 0:06:46] ▶
as he could, repeatedly yelling to Betty, quote, they're going to capture us.
[0:07:47 - 0:07:51] ▶
Betty looked out the window as they drove off, trying to watch the object, but she couldn't
[0:07:54 - 0:07:58] ▶
Betty felt a strange compulsion to leave her luggage out of the house and throw the
[0:09:49 - 0:09:52] ▶
Betty changed her clothes and noticed her new dress, which wasn't good condition before,
[0:09:55 - 0:10:00] ▶
Betty recalled Barney making a sharp turn somewhere, but she wasn't sure where.
[0:10:28 - 0:10:33] ▶
Betty was intensely curious about what had happened.
[0:10:54 - 0:10:58] ▶
Upon hearing the story, Betty's sister, called a physicist they knew, asking for advice
[0:11:28 - 0:11:33] ▶
Betty took a compass and went out to the car.
[0:11:43 - 0:11:46] ▶
Ten days after the incident, Betty had, for five or six nights in a row, a series of
[0:12:53 - 0:12:59] ▶
could be more than just dreams, but in fact repressed memories and convinced Betty to write
[0:13:06 - 0:13:12] ▶
Betty remained very uncomfortable by the topic and continued to try to ignore it, but Betty
[0:13:19 - 0:13:24] ▶
Barney and Betty became much more vague and profoundly emotional when retelling this
[0:19:26 - 0:19:30] ▶
This was the sharp turn Betty had vaguely consciously recalled.
[0:19:58 - 0:20:02] ▶
Betty became terrified and had a powerful urge to get out of the car and run.
[0:20:18 - 0:20:22] ▶
Barney had no recollection of what happened to Betty.
[0:20:57 - 0:21:00] ▶
Betty however was much more lucid throughout this portion of the story.
[0:21:00 - 0:21:04] ▶
Betty said the men who spoke was very business like and spoke with an accent, though she
[0:21:28 - 0:21:32] ▶
Betty thought the leader may have been taller and of a slightly different skin color, but
[0:21:49 - 0:21:53] ▶
Betty had a vague memory of the eyes reminding her of cat's eyes.
[0:22:10 - 0:22:14] ▶
The two were escorted up a kind of ramp into the craft, though Betty tried to resist
[0:22:45 - 0:22:49] ▶
Barney and Betty were taken to separate rooms.
[0:23:12 - 0:23:14] ▶
Betty agreed with most of this, but said that the room in which she was led was less
[0:23:41 - 0:23:45] ▶
Betty's description, again, was much more detailed.
[0:24:22 - 0:24:25] ▶
Next, they informed Betty that they wanted to examine her nervous system.
[0:25:12 - 0:25:16] ▶
All of the figures then left the room except for the leader, to whom Betty began talking.
[0:26:19 - 0:26:24] ▶
Betty would later try to redraw the map for memory.
[0:27:09 - 0:27:12] ▶
He was reunited with Betty who said that he still had his eyes closed.
[0:29:09 - 0:29:13] ▶
The beings informed Betty that they could leave and escorted them halfway to their car.
[0:29:13 - 0:29:18] ▶
However before parting ways the leader took the book from Betty.
[0:29:27 - 0:29:31] ▶
As they parted ways the leader suggested to Betty that they watched them leave.
[0:29:48 - 0:29:53] ▶
Betty went over to Barney, picked up Delcy and invited him to come watch them leave
[0:30:01 - 0:30:05] ▶
He focused on the fact that their stories were almost identical to Betty's dreams, with
[0:32:13 - 0:32:18] ▶
Rather than Betty's dreams being a recollection of an experience, he believed they may have
[0:32:31 - 0:32:36] ▶
When Betty's dreams were recalled around Barney multiple times, Barney may have picked
[0:32:41 - 0:32:46] ▶
Confusing a dream for reality was something Betty and Barney both admitted they could not
[0:33:02 - 0:33:06] ▶
Betty was fairly adamant that this was a reality, and that she could tell that her dreams
[0:33:09 - 0:33:13] ▶
Furthermore, he had said that he had made a lot of effort to try to prevent Betty from
[0:33:25 - 0:33:28] ▶
Betty and Barney gave public talks on their incident and even appeared on radio and television
[0:35:36 - 0:35:41] ▶
Betty outlived him for decades, never remarrying.
[0:36:37 - 0:36:40] ▶
Betty Hill died of lung cancer in 2004, at the age of 85.
[0:36:54 - 0:36:59] ▶
the Betty and Barney Hill UFO experience.
[0:37:05 - 0:37:10] ▶
Betty was also the United Nations envoy for the Unitarian Universalist Church of which
[0:38:53 - 0:38:58] ▶
Barney being black, Betty being white.
[0:39:12 - 0:39:14] ▶
Betty was unable to have children.
[0:39:30 - 0:39:32] ▶
Neither of them had much interest in UFOs before the incident, though Betty, again, had had
[0:39:43 - 0:39:48] ▶
to remain out of the limelight, and there, especially Betty's obsession with the topic,
[0:40:52 - 0:40:57] ▶
Ten days after the incident, Betty had intense dreams that were strikingly similar to what
[0:42:14 - 0:42:20] ▶
As Betty recalled her dreams to the investigators with Barney overhearing her do so time after
[0:42:36 - 0:42:41] ▶
Simon was encouraged in this conclusion by the fact that Betty's experience was
[0:43:05 - 0:43:09] ▶
But they clearly did know enough about our world to abduct Betty and Barney without
[0:43:52 - 0:43:57] ▶
Another important point made by Martin Cotmeyer was that while Betty didn't know much
[0:44:04 - 0:44:09] ▶
Secondly, while hearing about Betty's dreams may have influenced Barney's memory, he
[0:46:15 - 0:46:19] ▶
also had a number of experiences that Betty did not.
[0:46:19 - 0:46:23] ▶
At no point under hypnosis, did Barney recall a detail that Betty shared of which she
[0:46:23 - 0:46:28] ▶
Furthermore, while their personality differences could have led to Betty transferring her dreams
[0:46:48 - 0:46:52] ▶
differences you would expect Betty to remember more because she wanted to, while Barney
[0:46:58 - 0:47:04] ▶
specifically Betty's reliability as a witness into question.
[0:50:58 - 0:51:03] ▶
Betty continued to share her experience and investigate the case for decades after this
[0:51:05 - 0:51:10] ▶
In the late 70s, Betty claimed to have found the UFO hotspot in East Kingston to which
[0:51:30 - 0:51:36] ▶
In one incident in 1980, Betty gave a presentation to the conference in New York City in which she
[0:52:27 - 0:52:32] ▶
Betty's health had begun declining not long after the abduction.
[0:53:27 - 0:53:31] ▶
At the same time, however, Martin noted that towards the end of her life, Betty expressed
[0:53:41 - 0:53:46] ▶
For the case, it is true that these points apply mostly only to Betty, not clearly
[0:53:59 - 0:54:04] ▶
Yes, but this provides much more weight to the point that Betty was the source of the false
[0:54:05 - 0:54:09] ▶
Consider that a panic attack was triggered in Barney by Betty's excitement, that his
[0:54:33 - 0:54:38] ▶
One was Betty's dress.
[0:55:56 - 0:55:58] ▶
As I mentioned, the morning after the incident, Betty took her stained and torn dress off,
[0:55:58 - 0:56:03] ▶
Another element of the case that was the subject of quite a bit of debate was Betty's
[0:56:40 - 0:56:44] ▶
from Betty's star map and Fish's star map, the resemblance between the two is largely
[0:57:22 - 0:57:27] ▶
In fact, Adderberg found a star pattern that fit more closely with Betty's and Fish's.
[0:57:35 - 0:57:40] ▶
Betty's star map included 26 stars.
[0:57:40 - 0:57:44] ▶
Betty and Barney Hill case endures, 60 years later, as one of the most mysterious and captivating
[0:58:03 - 0:58:08] ▶
Betty, had a habit of seeing spectacular fantasies in what other witnesses said were
