Betty and Barney Hill Archive

Barney Hill sketched the UFO he had observed hours earlier, when he arrived home on 9/20/1961. Skeptics incorrectly claim that he sketched in years later. Why do skeptics offer the public false reports on this case? You'll find the historicalevidence below.

Betty typed this letter to NICAP Director Donald Keyhoe, a USMC Retired Major, on September 26, 1961, days after the Hills' UFO encounter. She borrowed his book from the Portsmouth Public Library. It is the first book she had ever read on UFOs. Yet skeptics falselyclaim that she an avid science fiction fan.

NICAP Investigator Walter Webb, an astronomer, investigated the Hills' UFO sighting in mid-October, 1961. This is one important page from his confidential NICAP Report. Barney described the figures he observed with binoculars through the craft's windows as it hovered less than 100 feet in the distance. Skeptics mistakenlyclaim that he was observing a boxy tramway car, eight miles north of his location more than a mile south of the Indian Head Resort. 

Debunkers insist that there were no witnesses to the UFO on September 19, 1961. This is proof of evidence they have chosen to ignore. John Luttrell was an award winning investigative reporter. He learned of the Hills' UFO event through a violation of confidentiality by Betty's friend. He contacted Betty and Barney, but they refused to speak with him. He investigated the case and published his findings in "The Boston Traveler" newspaper. His columns regarding the event were published for five consecutive days in late October 1965. He had found six witnesses. Apparently, others contacted him because he replied to an inquiry from Stanton Friedman as follows. This is compelling evidence of witnesses to the same craft, at the same time, in the same location, on the same night. I am aware of three additional witnesses that night. Skeptics simply ignore this evidence. Why?
