Still No Answer

"When I revived, we were walking along a path in the woods. Three of the men were helping me. The other three were holding Barney up. We went to some kind of spaceship. The best way to describe it is to say it looked like a typical UFO. They took Barney and me inside and put us in different rooms.
"Let me describe the men aboard that aircraft. They were all about five feet tall. They were small men, and their features were vaguely Oriental, but their eyes were more to the side. They were unlike any men I ever met before. They gave me some kind of physical examination. They scraped the skin on my arms and legs, and took some of my hair -- things of that sort.
"This examination took place in a wedge-shaped room. It was cool and well lighted. After they were done with the examination, the leader came in. He spoke English. I was surprised by that. He indicated that they were going to let us go. I told him people would never believe what had happened to us. Then I saw a book on the table, and asked him for it. I said it was my proof.
"He smiled and gave me the book. The writing was up and down in it -- similar to Japanese writing. I couldn't understand it.
'Finally, the leader told me Barney was ready, and that we could go to the car. However, as I started to leave with the book, some of the other men aboard got upset and spoke to the leader. He came over and took the book away. He said the others did not want me to keep the book. He said it would be best if I forgot about what had happened. Then he told me to stand by the car with Barney and watch them take off.
"I went out to the car with Barney. He also had been examined. Our dog Delsey was still inside the Chevy and was happy to see us. We watched that UFO vanish into the sky. It looked like a red moon.
"Then we got into the car," concluded Betty, "and started driving. After a while we heard three beeps and started talking. That's when I asked Barney, 'Do you believe in flying saucers? "
Three facts seem to support Betty's story. The first is that on the night of September 19, 1961, several other reliable witnesses reported seeing an unidentified flying object in the same area where the Hills encountered their space visitors. Second, the tapes made by the Hills are presently stored in the Library of Congress. According to Betty, they have a restricted classification. Finally, no one has been able to come up with a logical explanation for the duplicate stories told by Betty and Barney Hill while in hypnotic trances. The experts might have been able to explain away one person, but two people with the same story while mesmerized just can't be ignored.
