THE UFO INCIDENT (1975) Ccontinued
The Abduction of Betty & Barney Hill

According to a 1975 National Enquirer article, Universal Studios spared no expense in creating aliens that precisely fit the Hills descriptions. Designing the masks cost a full $3,000, according to the studio, and each copy thereafter cost $100. That's less than the price of a pair of tickets to Universal Studios theme park today.

Betty remembered being given a book by the leader of the aliens that would provide proof of their visits, but it was later taken back. From this Betty later recalled her famous star map. Unlike other UFO abductees, Betty insists the incident was not traumatic for her and she told the alien leader she enjoyed her trip and would like to travel again someday.

The space doctor is in! According to her account, the aliens conducted medical tests. Betty Hill told SeacoastNH.com that she believed she learned why the tests were taken. IN her book A Common Sense Guide to UFOs, she suggested that aliens abducted only people with Native American blood, which she possessed. Aliens, were played here, Betty said, by young Japanese girls who had the correct body dimensions.

Heading home, the aliens climbed back on their ship for the return voyage. Barney Hill died in 1969. Betty lived to age 95 and died in October 2004, remembered as the grand dame of UFO abductees. She lives most of her life in Portsmouth, NH in the house she purchased in the early 1950s.
