Today, this very day, forty-six years ago, Betty and Barney Hill drove
down U.S. 3, right past my house and into history. They were about to
become Patient Zero for Alien Abductions with Weird Medical Experiments,
Missing Time, and Big-Eyed Extraterrestrials. The first and (we are told)
best documented case of Alien Abduction Evah. There was a book. There was a made-for-TV movie. Magazine
articles. Mentions in other books. Cl
ose Encounters of the Third Kind. X-Files.
So what happened out on Route 3?
Via columbina, Alien
Abduction
I'm guessing that this debunking article won't go over very well in Rachel, Nevada. It's also long, but
well worth reading since everything about the Betty and Barney Hill
abduction is debunked.
I also found it helped to use Google Maps to help follow along on that
fateful roadtrip forty-six years ago.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
