Claims of alien abductions and encounters with UFOs were ubiquitous in the late 20th century, but no abduction story is as intriguing as that of Barney and Betty Hill. In 1961, the couple claimed to have been abducted by "humanoids" in rural New Hampshire, a story further complicated by the fact that they were a mixed-race couple.

In what became known as the "Hill Abduction" and the "Zeta Reticuli Incident", it has everything - aliens, spaceships, lost time and even hypnotism. What happened when the Hills encountered supernatural beings in 1961? We will try to get as close to the truth as possible.

The Hills were an All-American couple

The Hills were mostly a normal couple before their experience with UFOs. Their marriage was not valid in 1961. Barney was a black man and Betty was a white woman, a union that was not permitted in the United States until the U.S. Supreme Court struck down "anti-miscegenation" laws in 1967.

Barney worked for the United States Postal Service, and Betty was a social worker. They were both members of the NAACP, and were prominent parts of their local community who sat on the local board of the United States Commission on Civil Rights. Hills was not a kook. They were not truthful. They were just trying to live their lives and be happy. Everything changed on the night of 19 September 1961.

They collided with a UFO during the holidays

At about 10:30 p.m. on September 19, 1961, the Hills were driving to Portsmouth after a vacation in Niagara Falls, when Betty saw something in the sky just south of Lancaster, New Hampshire. Betty says she saw a wave of bright light passing from below the moon in the same area of the sky as Jupiter. The Hills initially believe the light to be a shooting star, but as it begins to move upward, Betty asks Barney to pull her towards him so they can get a better look.

Barney stopped at a scenic picnic area south of Twin Mountain, and through a pair of binoculars he saw an "oddly shaped" vehicle with multicolored lights flashing across the face of the moon. Then Betty realizes she is seeing a UFO.

UFO spread in the sky

While driving down a winding deserted road, Hills realized that the UFO was also on the same path. The spacecraft passed over a restaurant, a signal tower and a mountain range. Beatty claims that the ship was about one and a half times the length of the granite rock profile of Cannon Mountain, and that the ship was moving silently as it moved across the sky.

Barney thought it was a plane

Barney initially doubts that they are seeing a UFO. He was convinced they were checking a commercial plane bound for Montreal, but changed his mind after seeing the plane change direction and descend rapidly. The Hills get into their car and drive out to Franconia Notch, a narrow, mountain road, thinking their UFO experience is over for the evening.

Hills tried to escape

All this activity was too much for Hills. They returned to their car and set out on their journey again, but about a mile south of Indian Head the object came rapidly toward their vehicle, forcing them to stop their 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air right in the middle of the highway.

The couple reported that the giant craft was hovering about 100 feet above their car, and rather than burn rubber from there, Barney got out of the vehicle with a pistol to take a closer look. He claimed that from his position on the road he could see eight to eleven human figures staring at him from the ship's windows. It is here that Barney says one of the humanoids mentally informed him to "Stay where you are and keep watching." From there, red lights began to flash on the "bat-wing fins", before a telescope appeared over the side of the ship and a structure descended from beneath the ship.
