Betty and Barney Hill Official Home Page, The UFO Encounter, the Impact, and the Evidence

Betty and Barney Hills' UFO encounter and possible abduction by nonhumans are recognized as the first scientifically investigated UFO abduction in the United States. Their close encounter with an unconventional aerial vehicle occurred on the night of September 19 and into the early morning hours of September 20, 1961, in New Hampshire’s White Mountain region.

Their arrival at their  Portsmouth, NH home brought new disquieting discoveries. They were concerned that they could have been contaminated because the unconventional craft hovered close to their 1957 Chevy Bel Air. They had arrived home later than they had anticipated. They discovered perplexing evidence including Betty’s torn dress, Barney’s deeply scraped shoes, watches that had become permanently inoperable, a severed leather binocular strap, and new shiny spots on their vehicle’s trunk. When a compass was placed over the spots the needle whirled indicating the presence of a magnetic field.

The following day they reported the craft’s size, erratic flight pattern, and buzzing tones to an officer at Pease Air Force Base. It became an official Project Blue Book report. Barney tried to forget about it whereas Betty read her first book on the subject. Inside the book she found an address for the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP) and a request for contact by anyone who had observed a UFO. Within days of reading the book, Betty typed a letter to NICAP Director Major Donald Keyhoe (USMC ret.), and this brought Walter Webb, a Boston astronomer and NICAP investigator to the Hills’ home.
