The Andreasson Abduction

On episode 30 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, Ryan returns to UFOs with a detailed overview of the 1967 Betty Andreasson UFO abduction case.  One calm night, Betty was finishing dinner with her family when a group of non-human creatures entered her home, paralyzed her family into a state of suspended animation, and proceeded to abduct her and perform examinations on her aboard their craft.  This case is highly controversial and hotly debated. We'll hear from listeners on just what they think of the entire affair. We will then hear from Peter Robbins, UFO researcher and former assistant of the late abduction researcher, Budd Hopkins. What does Robbins make of this bizarre case? Could it all be an elaborate hoax? Or was Betty Andreasson taken aboard a craft in what she believed to be a half alien/half religious experience of cosmic proportions?
