Betty and Barney Hill were an American couple who became notable figures in the history of UFO encounters. In September 1961, while driving through New Hampshire, the Hills reported experiencing a close encounter with a UFO. They claimed to have been abducted by extraterrestrial beings and subjected to medical examinations aboard the UFO. The Hills’ accounts included details of missing time, strange dreams, and the use of hypnosis to recover memories of the alleged abduction. Their story gained widespread attention and became one of the first widely publicized cases of alien abduction. The Hills’ accounts were investigated by researchers and continue to be a significant part of UFO lore, contributing to discussions about the nature of UFO encounters and the phenomenon of alien abductions.
