The First Abduction? The Story of Betty & Barney Hill THE WEEKLY STRANGE Episode 68

from The Weekly Strange · host Jon F Merz

September 19, 1961, changed the landscape of the paranormal forever. While driving through the dark mountain passes of Franconia Notch, New Hampshire, Betty and Barney Hill encountered a craft that would result in the world's most famous "missing time" event. But was it just a story? Or is there something more to it? Jon looks at the events that took place and also into the often-overlooked corroboration from the 764th Radar Squadron at East Mountain Radar Station in Vermont, where an anomalous object was tracked the very night the Hills were taken. Whether you're a skeptic or a believer, the Hill case remains the "Gold Standard" of ufology because of the physical and technical evidence that refuses to go away.
